Recently i have discover many video tutorial regarding bitmap font performance enhance. I would love to use in my existing project, however my project is too late to implement starling framework, just wondering if there is any way which naively support bitmap fonts?
Cheers

I hear that Flash is starting to go away. I know later this year Chrome is withdrawing support for it, and I wonder what is going to happen with it eventually. I'm sad that so many people seem to not like Flash because it is the platform I have the most experience in.
Sidenote: I know Flash is now renamed to Animate, and I figure Adobe was trying to rebrand probably so as to lose a little bit of the bad sentiments towards it(just a theory).
I know this is more of a "news" type question than a coding question, but does anyone know if Flash is going to continue to be a thing or should I bail before the bitter end?
Edit: someone said something about air being a still supported platform for chrome or coding in flash in general. Any more tips for how difficult/easy it would be to either transfer my code to it or starting a new project from scratch learning different coding syntax or is it mostly the same as AS3 in general. I know a little bit of unity with C# would it be easier to switch over to that?
First you'll need a bit of background.
Flash or more specifically Flash Player, is a browser plugin that allows running ActionScript compiled for it.
There are other ActionScript compilers out there, such as the AIR compiler. Adobe AIR is not going away any time soon.
You'll be able to continue developing ActionScript 3 projects if you target them to AIR instead of Flash Player, after Flash Player is discontinued.
AIR can run on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
On a side note - Flash Professional was most likely renamed to Animate since it does so much more than just produce "Flash Player" content. It can publish AIR, HTML5, and create animations at the very least.
on Panda.js HTML5 framework it says that it support Adobe flash animations, how can I do that, I researched a lot online but couldnt find any way.
If it means exporting animation to spritesheet, then it is no different from others and certainly not a special feature to be mentioned. Is there any way to use animations directly?
without the flash player ofcourse
Panda.js does not support Flash animations, you can only use the exported spritesheets, well, like the others.
I want to make custom t-shirt designer with all touch device. I created same custom t-shirt designer with Fabric.js and some .dll file for web application that work fine for me. But I want to know if Fabric is good for all touch devices.
Fabric.js work fine for me in web application but I want to know if Fabric.js is better for touch device and supported all event of touch for all touch device like Android, iOS and windows devices? If Fabric.js is not best than suggest me another library or javascript file.
Yes!
FabricJS supports touch events and has a wide variety of great features.
Nice Choice!
However, no .dll files...
.dll's are not really web-friendly — they are used for desktop OS's.
I don't know nothing about fabric, but if you need good js canvas libraries do you have plenty of choices.
Easeljs
Kineticjs
Paperjs
Threejs
Phaser.io
Fabric.js will be the best choice.
It supports touch events as you asked.
FYI..

I have clients that ask for animations that will work on ipad. For that it would have to be non flash. They will also want the animations to work in IE. My question is, is there a best practice for this? I am assuming using flash and export with flash html5 export. Sniff out canvas capability and provide a fallback for IE6/7/8 to flash. The reason is its much faster to build complex character animations with the flash IDE timeline and css3 is better performance. Or is it best practice to build everything in something with javascript, like greensock, and build it one timed function after another. Or is there something that will convert flash or canvas animations to javascript for IE users who don't have flash installed and don't support canvas?
Try Adobe Edge.

Looks very impressive.
I am helping to build a video based website. My client wants the website to be viewable on ipads/iphones. Therefore, I absolutely can not require the flash viewer.
One of my developers wants to use AS3 for scripting special features in our player. If AS3 scripting is used, does that mean my users must have the flash plugin?
Thanks!
If it's just about playing videos, then html5 based option would be great. But if the requirement is more complicated and the developer is more comfortable with AS3, then you can have an AIR app re-packaged as iOS app (that's a supported workflow from Adobe).
Yes, the users would have to have the Flash Player installed to view an AS3 flash file (.swf).
But your developers might implement an html5 alternative of the video player for iOS that doesn't require flash (which probably will be missing some of those special features) so the website might still be viewable on iOS devices.
My advice would be to simply ask them if it will work on iPad and iPhone :-)
