From Flash to HTML5

May 31, 2012 12:24 AM

Tags: #cs5 #jquery #dreamweaver #javascript #html5

My client's website has an outdated flash movie at the index (front) page, which does not load on mobile devices. I'd like to replace the flash movie (.swf) with a HTML5 compatible script that retains the animated content. I asked about what might be used to create a suitable replacement for flash here a couple of days ago. Someone told me two programs, but unfortunately these programs won't work on the operation system I am using (Windows XP). 

 

Could anyone please let me know what the most useful (popular) programs that people are using to tranform a Flash movie into a HTML5 compatible file format?  Thanks for your help.

    Before we post any replies, what would you consider to be useless or wasted answers?

     

    Are you considering upgrading XP to Windows 7?

    I hope this makes better sense if I rephrase my question to: Does Adobe Flash provide a HTML5 converter as an extension on Flash?

    No. However, you can try Google Swiffy.

    I finally get around to look at Google Swiffy. From what I see on its web page, Swiffy is a joke, if not a doom. Any other suggestion?

    I have never used any to do this task as I tend to rebuild them. This might also be your best option depending on what your animation is like.

     

    Swiffy is in Beta so it might not be perfect but it is certainly not a joke. Many people have posted relatively successful convertions using this tool.

    google swiffy, yes, it could convert flash swf to html5, but we know that google Swiffy currently supports a subset of SWF 8 and ActionScript 2.0.

    i think that html5 will replace the flash extension. And i am not the flash fans. But adobe is still a powerful company. They offer us so many solutions for resolve our potential poblems when surfing the net.

    After my original post in June, it is awesome to see the thread reactivated. So allow me to ask you recent posters, what's the catch? My business is not your business!

    Joycwang,

    Public forum discussions are routinely indexed by search engines where people often find them. Sometimes people resurrect old threads by posting their own questions/remarks.  Don't take it personally. 

     

    To stop receiving e-mail notifications from the Adobe web forums, go to "Your Stuff" > Preferences > E-mail Notifications.  Select NO on everything and hit SAVE.
