“FluidHtml is a text-based markup language (like HTML) that lets you dynamically generate Flash  content. This is an extraordinarily powerful idea.  It means that anyone can build highly animated websites, ads, media players and 3D animations quickly and easily.”

FluidHTML looks to be an innovative concept and may address current issues related to Flash content on the web.  However, I believe web designers/developers who currently use HTML/CSS might find this much more attractive than Flash designers/developers.

I really like the concept of offering an extensible API and opening it up to developers, but is this going to be a viable markup language 5 years from now or is it just a phase.  As ActionScript libraries that support browser-like functionality improve and as Google and Yahoo’s search engine’s begin to recognize the text within Flash files, does FluidHTML really fix anything that isn’t already steadily improving.

I believe FluidHTML does have potential however, I am not sure if Flash designers/developers will buy into the concept.  Check out the introductory video below on FluidHTML.  I’d love to hear how you guys feel about FluidHTML after viewing the video.  Would you consider using it?

Adobe has just announced that they are teaming up with search industry leaders, Google and Yahoo, to dramatically improve search results of dynamic Web content and rich Internet applications.  This new search engine solution is essentially a special version of the Flash Player which enhances search engine indexing of the SWF file format.

What this means for the average Flash user and their clientele is that this new advancement will uncover information that is currently undiscoverable by search engines.  This will also provide more relevant automatic search rankings of the millions of RIAs and other dynamic content that run in Adobe Flash Player. Fun times with Flash content and search engine optimization are finally right around the corner.
