<p>Thanks Andy and Colin for the list of interesting tools. I hadn't
seen any of the ones on your list, Andy.<br>
</p>
<p>I 'hand coded' both of the pieces I sent you in Sublime Text.
Though they both use jQuery; Aleph Null's sliders are jQuery
widgets; and AJAX in Globebop is simpler with jQuery. I used to
use Dreamweaver. The animation engine in Aleph Null is hand-coded.
I am not a 'purist', but I like being able to customize as much as
I can. <br>

<p>Director MX 2004 was such a joy to create with. <br>

Although I did do a lot of Director and Shockwave work, almost all
of what I have done in the last 17 years has been in Flash Pro
(now called Adobe Animate). That includes all of the mobile apps
I’ve worked on, and all of the HTML5 work I have done.

<div class="">Many people are looking to Hype and other tools
because they either always hated Flash, or now hate Adobe. I’m
sure the same people will still be using Photoshop and
Illustrator, or even have CC subscriptions, so it’s a weak
argument.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So, if you do need to do Flash or Shockwave like
things for clients as HTML5 activities, you shouldn't rule out
Adobe Animate because of previous bias.</div>

You're basically right - web (especially artful web) has
taken a step back and everything looks similar nowadays
(often - not always 😉)
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Unity is great, but for me it's mostly
overkill...</div>
<div class="">But there are some nice tools for the web
too:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- Tumult's Hype 3 is a nice one <a

href="http://tumult.com/hype/" class="">http://tumult.com/hype/</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- the Greensock framework <a

class="">https://greensock.com</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">or if you're more into SVG there's the
awesome fabricjs - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://fabricjs.com/" class="">http://fabricjs.com</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">and last year I did loads of stuff using
Framer <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://framer.com/" class="">https://framer.com</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So - not all is lost... </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And the nice thing about most of the
current stuff is, you don't have to take care about if
a plugin is installed, or if it plays on mobile
devices -> everything we got major headaches when I
came to deploy Shockwave creations. I have nothing to
share (yet) because of tons of NDA restrictions, but
will definitely show some prototypes later this
year... </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The ones you showed are cool... I
especially love the color-animation in Aleph Null!</div>

<p class="">Very sorry to hear this. I guess
eventually Shockwave content will only be
viewable via a virtual desktop serving up
stuff from Windows XP and such. Probably not
cheap. What's the story on that?<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">As chance would have it, I've
recently met Marc Canter and did a little
work for him. Neat guy.<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">The web has taken a step backwards
from Director and Flash to HTML5. Less
featureful and the tools aren't good. Mobile
is a proprietary fiefdom. I suppose Unity is
the alternative, at the moment.</p>
<p class="">I've tried to re-tool to
'responsive design' for mobile+desktop in
JavaScript. Here are a couple of recent
pieces. Would love to see some recent work
from the Hopper greats. Including Shockwave
or just documentation.</p>

Click the globe to be transported to a
random location on the planet. Click the
'Star' button to be transported to a World
Heritage Site. Click the magnifying glass
(Search button) to read about where you are
or search for locations. Click the Map View
button to toggle between Map View and Street

Click the "destroy" and "create" buttons (or

brushes you like. Here's a slideshow of
