Tool for converting your Macromedia generated flash code to w3c specifications...

[cmcculloh]

I just created this tool that converts your Macromedia Flash generated code into w3c compliant html. Let me know if you come across any flaws. I have not been able to test it extensively.

Feel free to borrow the source code as long as you credit me in some way (whether it's on the page, or just in the source of the page you are putting it on I don't care).

Would be cool if it still worked without the use of javascript.

Why?

I'm not so worried about the whole Javascript thing. Simply because Google (and Amazon.com) uses AJAX for almost everything, and AJAX relies extensively on JavaScript. So, I guess I am of the mind set that as long as most of the biggest websites on the web can get away with it, then so can I. Plus I honestly believe AJAX is a big part of the future of web development, and you can't do it without JavaScript.

Sure I could do almost exactly the same thing with just PHP, but it would actually be a bit slower, and more expensive to find a web-host to host my PHP enabled website on. So why do that, when I can just use JavaScript?

I guess I just don't see the point in NOT using JavaScript... It's free, it's easy, it works, and every modern browser supports it. At least, all of the browsers that are going to have the flash plugin are going to also support Javascript. Plus, I am a big fan of JavaScript, so why pay money to accommodate a few people here and there to enable them to keep blocking JavaScript? I don't want them to block JavaScript, I want everyone to enable JavaScript because that makes my job as a web developer easier. I can't imagine having to program with ONLY PHP and no Javascript. I couldn't do over half of the things I would like to do. Especially with Dynamic web pages. If I threw out JavaScript, I would be throwing out AJAX and DHTML, which would be silly...

So, in my opinion, saying it would be cool if it worked without the use of JavaScript, is like saying it would be cool if gmail worked without the use of AJAX...
