Apple Disabled Audio/Video Playback in HTML5 | Flowz
While putting together an HTML5 prototype for a client, we ran into an unexpected hurdle: Apple has disabled programmatic playback of audio and video in HTML5.

It’s ideal for quickly and accurately laying out menus and other parts of the interface, but can also be used to create particle systems or as a tileless editor to create game levels. I am very happy to announce that CocosBuilder is now open source, and released under MIT license. Also, a new beta version has been released with some really cool features. CocosBuilder now support a new extremely compact binary format that will load a lot quicker, CCLabelTTF and sub directories.
