Interactive SWF to HTML5 conversion

Hello All

Like a dinosaur I am trying to convert a number of Shockwave Flash animations to HTML5.               They were created with SWF Version 6,  and interactively rotate using the arrow keys.

They have one frame, one sprite and two buttons.

Action Scripts  are:   On (Key Press “<Right>”) {r = r+1; ‘line”._ rotation = r;

On (Key Press “<Left>”) {r = r-1; ‘line”._ rotation = r;   Frame 1 Do Action r = 0;

 

Creating a video from/by rotating the sprite (click by click) through 360 degrees is not really an answer. The video folder is huge relative to the original interactive SWF object and fine interactivity is lost by using the slider in its track to position the ‘sprite’ - compared to arrow key control.

Is there a conversion tool that would work?  Adobe Animate maybe or Capitivate? Adobe AIR?

What would work best if I have to rebuild the animations?

I’m out of my depth and would be very grateful for any advice or recommendations.

    There are some swf interpreters out there that might work - such as Ruffle: https://ruffle.rs 

    no real conversion tols exist though.
