I’m sorry to post this here if it’s inappropriate. I am an AS3 interface and Flash CMS developer and I am having trouble understanding how we Flash developers can start looking at creating interfaces in HTML5 like we do in Flash.
Biggest thing for me is that I am heavy into video interfaces based on dynamically loaded external XML files. Example: I may click a category, then topic and then dynamically create a list of available videos based on an array loaded from XML.
Is this concept dead in a Flashless world? If so, then shoot me now.
Has anyone started down the HTML5 path? Is there more than just stand alone single video players in HTML5? If I have 100 videos organized by category and sub-topic, do I have to create 100 different instances of a video player?
I’m having trouble finding information on this via Google.
