Converting Flash/SWF to HTML5

Following Ned's advice I'm posting this message on Dreamweaver's forum (after posting it in the Flash/Actionscript 3 forum).
I'm not a programmer, so this question might sound a bit noobish.
I have this flash project with an advanced button - here's the code:
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,btnOut);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickPortfolioToGoToWebPage);
function btnOver(event:MouseEvent)
{
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("Rollover");
}
function btnOut(event:MouseEvent)
{
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("Rollout");
}
function clickPortfolioToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("ClickPortfolio");
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.fudzilla.com/"), "_blank");
}
In order to comply with the HTML5/CSS3 "new standards", I converted the swf file to HTML5 with Google Swiffy. The problem was that it doesn't support Actionscript 3, so it was converted as a looping movie. Question: Is it even possible to retain the Mouse events? Or do I have to make a HTML5 for the Rollover, another one for the Rollout and one for the Click? Again, I'm not a programmer. 
Forgive my noobish remarks...
***** UPDATE: I got the code and downgraded to Actionscript 2.0 and it worked. *****
One question though: is this good practice? Creating my animations in Flash AS2 and then converting the SWF file to HTML5 using a SWF/HTML5 converter? Will I have any problems? I suppose it's not an elegant way of doing it...
