I purchased Flash Pro CS6 yesterday and it does not convert my Flash file to HTML5 Correctly.  It converts everything except the Action Script.  I have contacted Tech Support and they have escalted the issue, but they are telling up to 96 hours.

The website is www.davidhornbrook.com

When I try to convert that page (the FLA file) it converts the bottom part, his logo, and the david dropping down the side.

It does NOT convert the top menu items OR hte drop shadow behind the logo (which is all Action Script3).

Can someone help me?

I have the FLA files thast I can send to you / post if that helps.

BTW when I convert it to SWF it works fine, just not when I export it to HTML5.

I did NOT mark that answer as Correct!!!!

Adobe did not live up to their promise that everything would translate to JS!!

I TOTALLY agree with FUNE78!!!

False promises and then vote one of their own employees as the correct answer.

Absolute rubbish!!!

FUNE78, you have provided the most honest responses and you now have the correct response accredited to you.

As it should have been in the first place

Shame on you Adobe

Hello ChadXSO,

The 'Help' offered to you so far has been, as far as I can tell, no help at all.

I've been ploughing through an old .fla trying to make a conversion.

Nothing complex, no animations.

6 hours later, I've part of it running, not working, just not crashing.

It's all script, so if CreateJS doesn't convert Action Script it's producing a very good pretense of doing so. The converter does appear to be looking at the AS, since if I change the AS the output changes.

However, I have to edit the js, every time I publish, to prevent the HTML from looping. From time to time it throws a Line 77 error, claiming that there is an undefined .str in a non-existant .jsfl file (non-existant in that Windows can't find the file).

I produce technical anims for my students in Flash so I'm none too pleased for the option for them to view them on-line to be taken away.

Unless Adobe produces a working conversion tool 10 years of my work is going down the toilet. There will be thousands(?) of .swf creators in the same position.

If CreateJS is the best Adobe can manage, at this rate, I won't live long enough to convert a single .fla.

@wirralLes

Unfortunately, I had to redo my ENTIRE site!!!

Not a very pleasant thing to have to do.

All I could possibly recommend is Google Swiffy.

I know that it does not do AS3, but it does do AS2.

I am not sure what yours uses.

You can give it a shot.

Sorry I am not more help, but I am VERY disappointed in Adobe and their false promises.

Hello,

Toolkit for CreateJS does not support conversion of Action Script code to HTML5 equivalents (JavaScript), yet. There are a couple of workarounds you could use:

  • Embed Javascript Code within Action Script comment blocks for components that have been designed using ActionScript in your FLA.
  • Or convert the entire FLA to HTML5, explicitly identify ActionScript components, and find their JavaScript equivalent codes from http://www.createjs.com/Docs/EaselJS/

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards,

Also, please do post your FLA files in your reply. I will try and investigate to provide a better solution.

Thanks,

Thank you for getting back with me.  I am not sure how to attach the FLA.  Could you tell me how to do that?
