CANVAS via SWF?
CANVAS via SWF? Do you know of anyone working on rendering Safari's CANVAS tag in a SWF file, to increase the range of CANVAS-supporting browsers? Right now it's recent MacOS Safari versions, and the beta Firefox 1.5. But it seems possible for an in-page SWF to request the CANVAS instructions, parse them and draw them, and for a standard JavaScript sniffer to show SWF or not depending on which browser runs it. (I got here from a link by Simon Willison to Jesse Andres -- bar charts, animated rectangles, and also a live-data line graph.) Do you know of any work on rendering CANVAS in SWF...?
