How can I get to HTML5 or something else that is likely to continue?

Hundreds of swf files that teach music reading (5 to 30 minutes in length).

Hundreds of button entries on each file.

Is HTML Canvas really the best tool to convert my material to something that will allow me to continue my current business?

Please advise.

    HTML5 doesn't do sound as well as AS3, so some of what you do may not be possible.

    I think you should take into account the fact that all browsers can still use Flash Player, and you have the option of making desktop or mobile apps from your existing files. The whole world doesn't have to be HTML5.

    BTW, it's a good idea to only post once for a given topic. I'll stay with answering questions here, and I'll ignore the other post you made.

    Thanks! I thought the first one did not post. Sorry for the breech of etiquette.

      Tell me more about HTML5 not dealing well with sound.

      My material requires exact precision of audio with video, though the audio is usually just a click track. Can I depend on that sort of accuracy?

      i don't think there is a "best" tool.  animate cc is one such tool to convert fla files to html5, but you can expect to do some (or a lot of) work on each file you convert.

      you can use google (convert swf to html5) to see all your options.
