Hello!

I need to publish in website the contents of my edu-tainment CD which was authored/created long before (year 2001/2002) with Macromedia Flash version 4.0/5.0. There are huge number of files and contents there and some doesn't work when I tried to play a few of them in web pages recently. I don't want to recreate them again with Action Script 3.0 as you know that would be a huge task. Is there any easy way to publish these files in website?

Please do help!!

Before putting more effort into a dead end... are you aware that all main browsers will block Flash Player before the end of 2020, and after that Flash Player will not be available! Converting may be a better investment of time. 

If you do want to make your old apps work you will need to review the changes in the last 16 years in detail and convert/rewrite as needed. Security concerns have blocked many paths.
