Flash CS5 will export to HTML5 Canvas. This looks pretty awesome—Illustrator CS5 and Flash CS5 can export to a new “FXG” format, and Adobe are providing a JavaScript library to load that format via Ajax and render the contents (including Flash animations) in a canvas element. Could be great for displaying newspaper infographics on the iPad.

  1. Like everything else to do with flash it will produce a massive file, hose the sh*t out of the computer and not work properly.

  2. If all it's doing is exporting shapes chances are those'll be smaller than SVG files which are an incredibly verbose way to store vector data (vector shapes stored in swf's are an order of magnitude smaller than identically detailed SVG files) .

    As for performance if Adobe are providing a JS library that's lacking in this respect it shouldn't be too much trouble to peak at the code and write something better.
