Apparently, Microsoft created their own take of Flash and called it Silverlight. The problem? I can't even install it.



What a piece of shit. The product is so poorly designed that it can't even figure out I'm on the owner account. Good going Microsoft. Your new product can't even work on your own fucking hardware. How hard is it to not fuck that up? I can't even imagine how unsolid the program is. Good luck trying to challenge Flash. If this product can't even work on your own trashy hardware, you need all the luck you can get.

The program is not poorly designed.

That's pretty old news though. Silverlight wasn't made to make animations, it's more for applications like a flash chatroom or even art chat, which are easy to create. Online players and such are easy to create, too with that program.

I am pretty sure that the program should work. Do you have a legit copy of Windows?

pretty much what psi said - silverlight is less for animation and more for web and applications. it's more suited for graphic and web designers. it will never replace flash

I heard that Adobe is changing the name of flash to Astro or something gay that sucks

whatever its called and whether or not the name is getting changed I can't wait for Flash 10 to come out, it has so many cool features I want to play with

Quote(*Adobe Flash 10 Astro - the new version of flash, will contain inverse kinemtaics(bones), c++ and 3d rotation.)

So it's still Flash but Astro is the surname or some such thing. Flash was the brainchild of a man named Jonathan Gay apparently, not funny I know, but due to my immaturity I did get a chuckle out of the fact that his last name is Gay.

lmao I stumbled across a new programming language too listen to what the creator has to say;

QuoteThe name haXe was chosen because it is short, easy, cool, and "has a X inside", which the author claims is necessary to make any new technology a success

I don't think anything will match flash, ever. And there must be some real damn good improvment for me to use some newer version of flash than flash8

Did you hear what Flash 10 has to offer? 3D Rotation, kinematics, and a lot of other stuff. You will be able to create skeletons for your characters and tween them around based on that, it will give tweening a whole new feel, which I for one will take advantage of as it will help me create passable material that isn't total shit in a small timeframe.

I skipped Flash 9 and CS3 and all that but I will definitely get Flash 10 when cracks of it start leaking. hehe. Also, I'm still using Photoshop 7 so it's not like im the type of guy who absolutely has to have all the latest and newest technology or some such thing.



I'll try to find that video of someone using Flash 10 and showing how the skeletons work and what have you, it's really swell.

even if i heard there was a new animation program better than flash i doubt id switch. too much trouble, cba familiarising myself with more of microsofts crap

anyway theres little i can think that flash could add to be improved. maybe an improved smoothing toll for us retards who use the mosue but thats all i can think of

lol FreekC. Watch this

I am definitely going to get Flash 10. Also I see where rtil got the idea of "next" but I think that was just a working title, like how the Wii was called the Revolution for a while.

that movie only gets better as it goes on, also I don't really see Flash ever being replaced unless they got some asshat CEO that bankrupted the company or some such thing but still I think it's very unlikely that Flash could ever be replaced. There's a huge community of flash developers on the internet, and almost every Microsoft computer has Flash Player technology on it, and lets face it Microsoft has quite the monopoly on the computer market so yeah.

Flash is pretty great

For animation, if you've spent enough time with it as you would have with Flash, ToonBoom may very well be better. It's more 'real' feeling to me.

Problem is, ToonBoom is not user friendly.

I like how you can fill in all your frames with a color in a snap in ToonBoom but overall I'll stick to Flash okay thanks.

If I want that more "real" feeling I'll use a light table, photoshop, after effects,a batch scanner, a capture station, a peg board, oh yeah and a pencil.

Adam Phillips is overrated shit there I said it. I love his particle effects animation and story-telling and okay yeah I pretty much love everything he's made, and okay yeah sure he's really great and I love what he has done with flash. okay never mind.

His character animation isn't as good as his particle effects though! Oh. that's silly.
