swf to html5 or video

Community Beginner ,
Apr 22, 2020 Apr 22, 2020

I created a complex flash training program over 10 years ago with FlashMX and AS2. I have been asked to recreate a similiar project and would like to use my original assets to develop a new project. Should I convert to html5 animations or can I convert animations to videos?  I want to beable to customize and edit my old animations into the new content.

Hi mate,

 

You can convert non-interactive SWFs to MP4 videos very easily, using Swivel.

 

As for interactive stuff, you will need to have your FLA sources and then all the code will have to be re-written in javascript for HTML5. There are also quite a few limitations what you can and cannot with the symbols in HTML5/Canvas FLA.

As far as I understand the process is not straight forward.

Thanks Nick,

That is helpful, I have never tried Swivel. I can also import my swf files in After Effects and work with compositing the levels and customizing my new video content then export as MP4 videos. The interactive elements on my main interface I will use JS codesnipets.
