If you are a Social Network Site(SNS) master, I am not surprised at all that you possess Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, etc. at the same time.

Twitter is fast, succinct, easy-to-use, but not that multimedia-friendly, and has 140 character limit; MySpace is self-oriented and it is more like a personal territory to display who you are and what do you like; YouTube, no doubt, is a video-sharing site that would bring you and your friends more visual enjoyment. What about Facebook? Well, it is a combination of them all and gives you 100% freedom to express yourself using all the medias like video, audio, picture, blog, note and so on.

A foreign media report says that Adobe has recently released a tool which is able to convert Flash files to HTML documents. However, this tool at present is only available for developers due to the imperfect functions.

For the large quantity of Adobe Flash users, especially for iPhone and iPad users, the biggest problem is that it does not support all the mobile platforms. Even Google operating system Android just began to support Flash until version 2.2, and it still takes some time for Android 3.0 “Honeycomb”, which is designed exclusively for tablet PC, to get Flash support.

HTML 5 is one of the Apple-supported formats and with lower hardware requirements. Popular websites like YouTube and many other more support exactly this format. Therefore, Adobe has released a new file converting application called Wallaby that is able to convert Flash to HTML. However, this tool is currently only available for developers, ordinary users cannot install it in their mobile phones and browse Flash page at this moment.

As indicated in the statement upon release, Adobe said its initial goal is to provide advertisers with a feasible solution, so that they can deliver their Flash ads to Apple iOS compatible equipments. Therefore, Apple iOS users still can not load the websites based on Flash, but can view the advertisement placed on it.

Nevertheless, this is a big leap taken by Adobe. The original version of Wallaby does not support to convert ActionScript, movies and music files, but Adobe is consistently working on it to improve the program by adding more functions. At present, Wallaby is able to convert Flash files to HTML, CSS and JavaScript files.

For other popular target formats(for example, video, audio and image) you can convert flash SWF files to, please click here to know more.

The Rio Carnival 2011 Brazil has just started! Carnival, as the most famous holiday in Brazil, has become an event of huge proportions. The country stops completely for almost a week and festivities are intense from dawn to dusk.

Modern Brazilian Carnival originated in Rio de Janeiro in 1641, and then gradually became an annual festival held forty-six days before Easter and spreaded in mainly coastal cities. Brazil Carnival Styles and Brazil Carnival Costumes are the most highlights you definitely can not miss!

Basically, the Brazil Carnival Style varies by state: for example, here we have Rio de Janeiro style, São Paulo style, Bahia style, Pernambuco style, Minas Gerais style, etc.
