Hi

Please let me know best tools or method for convert AS3 to HTML5 (Javascript)

Appreciate for any help

Correct answer kglad

there is no adequate automation that does that.

there are tools like, AS3JS - ActionScript to JavaScript Transpiler that might (or might not) help you.

bottomline: you'll still need to learn javascript to do almost anything beyond stop, play and goto's.

[addendum: that last sentence is over-dramatic. there is quite a bit you can do in animate beyond frame changes. but the implication that learning javascript is extremely helpful still applies.]

One tool worth checking out is CreateJS it works well with Flash assets and converts AS3 to HTML5. Also, Adobe Animate now exports directly to HTML5, which can be a huge time-saver!

createjs might be worth checking out, but it does not convert as3 to js..

Any advances on this issue since 2016?

I noticed there's an option to "Convert to HTML5" in Adobe Animate, but a lot gets broken in the process so I'm looking into AI options to compensate now.
Anyone found a good workflow to easily convert legacy swf animations and games into HTML+JS yet?

not that i know of. animate works well to convert, but the code is not converted.
