Goodmorning guys!

I come from flash, a program that I left when Adobe decided not to support it anymore. Today, however, I would like to make a working app both on ipad and android tablet can you tell me if to do what actionscript 3.0 is good or is another language necessary? and if one day I wanted to convert it to html 5 is it possible without putting a hand to all the code?

I can not understand if actionscript is obsolete and if you animate cc now only serves to make animations or basic games.

thank you so much

Adobe Animate is just a new name for Flash Professional. You can make iOS and Android apps, and you would be using ActionScript, and publishing as an Adobe AIR mobile application.

If you later want to make an HTML5 version you could reuse a lot of the graphics and sounds, but you would have to rewrite the code in JavaScript. When doing that you would be using the CreateJS libraries, and a lot of the syntax is similar to ActionScript. But, ActionScript and AIR can do a lot more than HTML5 and JavaScript can, so you may need to do some things in a different way.

Actionscript is absolutely not obsolete, you misunderstood noise from detractors around.

if you want to make an app for Android / IOS so use Air, or Flash but the users will have to use Puffin browser only
