@SCtriestodraw of course you can make them. but hosting is the problem. HTMl5 is literally just the newest version of HTML, it's what websites are written in. So allowing users to host an HTMl5 movie or game is like supplying a website host for the whole internet and allowing potentially dangerous javascripts to be run. Most likely this will mean that HTML5 movies will not be natively viewable from your browser on any site. You will have to download the file and open it offline.

if you want to share/view things in webpages online, thats what flash is for. you can still install and use flash in your browser in 2020, don't believe google, they are liars. just, don't use google's software, so; uninstall chrome and use a different browser. if that doesn't support flash player; Downgrade. see my post about firefox 51.0 here in comments. spread the word.

@SCtriestodraw it's not a question of specifying. It's a question of writing the site to include a function which can run HTML content in a specific part of an already existing HTML page or cutting off the header of the animation, scaling everything in it and setting an offset so it will not overlap existing things. in short, a lot of work that most site owners are not going to bother with. just abandon google and downgrade your browser. otherwise you could wait years for someone to eventually allow HTML scaling on their site.. maybe. again the risk there is people will post javascripts in their HTML animation some of which may contain viruses. so alot of sites will frown on supporting it because they'd literally have to have a person or some bit checker scan the thing before allowing it to run on their server.

so yeah, HTML animations are not uploader friendly. you'd need to have your own site. so yeah, just give up on google and chromium. Downgrade your webbrowser if you want to keep flash.

Very good Mr. Tom Fulp! One day I will also want to be an animator and I really enjoy watching blogs about these things in the world of animation!

Ps: I think you're cool.

Happy birthday Tom! Hope you have a great day.

Hello @TomFulp, I asked something regarding Newgrounds Player (such a great initiative to recreating the almost-abandoned Flash Player!) in the forum (https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1452317), could @TomFulp answer my question? Basically, if you coded the original program in C++, you can use Emscripten (you can find it on GitHub) to run it within the browser! It converts C/C++ to WebAssembly, but I think there even exists a JavaScript polyfill/transpiler for WebAssembly. So after that, you would only need to port the graphical stuff over to HTML5 canvas, or WebGL drawing functions. ;)

An example which makes use of Emscripten is a C++ text-to-speech application ported to web:

djcamsnake 2020-06-03 11:58:28

Im Gonna Use Flash Untill I Die

TheRandy 2020-09-16 12:26:56

For a moment I had been worried, thank goodness I found this post...

supfool 2020-09-19 14:39:33

I hate the fact that we're coming closer and closer to december.

MassiveMarioLuigi700 2020-09-30 04:11:31

Flash is a tool... that will never be forgotten.

MassiveMarioLuigi700 2020-09-30 04:26:26

@GeoGee yeah... it's like we weren't giving enough time.

MassiveMarioLuigi700 2020-09-30 04:32:32

Um... @TomFulp this question may be outta topic but.... when is newgrounds gonna have there own app/Software? A former flash coder by the name @EON the guy behind Chaos Faction (which I hope he make CF3) in 2006 or 8 has made a simulator of the newgrounds website.... which actually stands out pretty well and has some newer content you see in today's portal. So I was wondering if that where to be possible soon.

Why do I find as2 such a hard language to code at times.
