I really like the interface and the timeline. I also like the learning tooltips. I think that we can learn a lot from your UI design. BTW I wonder if it is worthwhile to try and hook up an interconnect between this and our 3D modeler/animator/renderer: http://clara.io

Just want to say, from the front page your site looks pretty cool, but I didn't actually get to try the tool because your tool, unlike animatron would require typing before getting to play around with it. If animatron had required an account first there's a 0% chance I would have spent the 25 minutes I did playing around with it.

Reminds me of the early days of Flash 4. Very nice indeed. But flash animations made the web horrible, I don't suspect HTML5 animations will fare any better.

I'm reading from my mobile so I didn't check the tool yet, but I was surprised that nobody was thinking about this. I must agree.

Was it very painful to develop this great GUI or is GWT/HTML5 at a point where it's OK?

GWT actually is great, especially if your app is big and there are more than one dev on a team

I know, I'm more concerned about the HTML side.

Nice, yeah let's make a Flash IDE in a browser, which will compile results into a real .swf, which will then play in an HTML5-based Flash player on any device. Maybe support of a few things like rtmfp protocol will be tricky, but who cares.

that would be too funny :) but people do all kinds of crazy stuff these days, like running linux in a browser under x86 emulator written in js. so animatron tech is very very conservative from that perspective :)

I am serious about this. A lot of good stuff is written for Actionscript, all sorts of libraries etc., years worth of good work of many good people. It's just not fair to trash all that effort just because Apple has a tooth on Adobe.

Even without rtmfp, or even without rtmp, that will be very valuable.

oh, well, I thought it was an irony :)

anyway for now our plans in terms of flash do not go beyond exporting to swf.
