Hi,
I have been trying out the "Convert to HTML5 Canvas" in Animate and have a couple of questions:
Its going to be a bit of work to convert these files and I just want to insure I am taking the best approach
yes.
fla files have never been supported by browsers so browser support for fla's is irrelevant.

publish your canvas project and upload to your server(s) where you (presumably) want to use html5.
fla is a compressed xfl.
if you want to convert swf's to html5, yes.
no.

Hi Kglad,
Thank you for your reply, it was very helpful.
Re: point 2
- When converted to HTML5 Canvas the files have a .fla extension - with browser support for Flash going in 2020 how long will the .fla be supported after this date?

Apologies for being unclear here, what I'm really trying to check is if Adobe is discontinuing support for the Flash Player from 2020, will this have any effect on support for the .fla format? Will this continue to be a viable format for the longer term and is Animate a good option long term?

support for fla files seems secure for the foreseeable future. adobe continues to invest and improve in animate which is used to open (and edit) fla files.
