I have games written in AS3 and AS2. How can I convert them to HTML5/javascript?

[mariana03]

I wrote several games in Flash/AS3 and AS2 to play in browsers; they also work in Facebook. I now need to convert them because Flash is no longer supported by tablets and phones; I need to be able to produce Android and iOS versions. Rather that re-writing all that code, I think the solution may be using PhoneGap, but first I have to produce versions that work in javascript/HTML5.

Does Creative Cloud help with this?

Thank you

Lots of code people here that should be able to answer your question.

Discussion moved from Adobe Creative Cloud to Coding Corner

ok thx,

I tried the automatic converter provided by CC, it doesn't work....

Although Brad has moved your thread to Coding Corner, I think you would probably get better help in one of the Flash Professional forums. There's a specific forum for ActionScript 3.

It depends upon the complexity of your games. Generally, a safer bet would be to tweak the UI and produce native games for iOS and Android using Flash Professional and AIR. If they are simple enough, you can manually rewrite the game using JavaScript to target Canvas - and keep all the assets as they are in Flash Professional.

There is no reliable solution to automatically convert AS3 to JS.

they are pretty complex, I don't know if Javascript can handle them

I didn't know that Flash Professional can produce native code for iOS & Android... I'll check it

Thank you
