Drawing fonts using Javascript Canvas and easelJS
Spent a couple hours playing with easelJS and tried emulating something from Flash AS1 era which still needs some work but uploaded here . It uses a single Shape on the Stage with a single Graphic instance inside it which gets drawing commands in the Ticker timer producing a “Flash” type animation using only Javascript. Using JS rather than SWF means testing how different browsers display it. FF4 and Opera 11.50 labs work, FF3.6 partly works but stops after the first animation (there should be about 10 different Webdings font characters displayed one after another).
