Flash CS5 will export to HTML5 Canvas

With all the furor over no Flash on the iPhone, this one seems to have been missed, which is a shame since it looks awesome. This should help solve for plenty of what Flash gets used for, particularly simpler uses like infographics.

It looks like there’s a new format that ends with .fxg that a javascript include knows how to parse and animate. I imagine that banner ads, particularly for mobile devices, will adopt this quickly.
