Load HTML pages and apply Actionscript effects into Apollo applications
Are you wondering if Apollo will be the next killer application ?
I took these photos from the yesterday's Brent Rosenquist and Ethan Malasky session (Advanced Apollo Application Development ).
Look at these :
Here it is an Apollo application that loads and embeds the Adobe.com site.
The html page is loaded into a desktop container (you can see the application icon at the bottom of the bar).
Note that there is a text input where some html code has been written. Clicking the GO button, Apollo will execute the HTML code on the fly. Incredible !
And now look at
Apollo that allows you to take the current HTML page and rotate it and scroll in the rotated position. No words !
I don't mess with that black magic!

OK, so what if the html page contained flash? Is that swf still interactive (if viewed at all) - and taking it one step further, what if the html page contained the swf which was displaying the html page? Can we do html/flash feedback loops?
Scarey

Great Post!
Is the text in the HTML selectable even if its rotated or blurred? Does the HTML control has options of increasing / decreasing fontsize as we do in the browsers..?
It looks like Apollo is shaping out to become a great runtime...

Super awesome! Looks like the goofy microsoft page flipper thing is nothing compared to this (that ms page flipper thing, while looking halfway neet, is completely impractical)
