John Bigboote Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 https://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/swiffy/ After a week of trying to do something simple in html5- something well within my means in Flash... I found this BRAND NEW utility from Google that will publish your animation, sound and interactivity out of your FLA and into an HTML5 file... check it out, Flash folks! Disclaimer- for some reason, there IS a low 1mb limit on your FLA, don't know why or if they plan to eventually offer a more gratious amount.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 4, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted October 4, 2013 Wow. That sounds impressive. I wish i remembered all my Flash knowledge. Does it do everything... even Action script? EDIT: I just noticed..."New! Swiffy now supports ActionScript 3.0 and external resource loading."

John Bigboote Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 "New! Swiffy now supports ActionScript 3.0 and external resource loading." Everything is 'iffy' with Swiffy. My work has been AS2, and I tried loading movies externally and it did not work. (Said that feature was not working yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 I was reading on the Swiffy forum , somebody wondered why Google made such a product at the speculation was that they use it to make their Google doodles. They hired a young kid developer right out of college and told him to research getting flash into HTML 5 and his results were so good that they promoted him and gave him a team. They are pursuing this fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 5, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted October 5, 2013 Do any of the current versions of Flash have HTML5 export? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Do any of the current versions of Flash have HTML5 export? No- this has been Flash's 'achilles heel'... the fact that SWIFFS will not appear in ios devices. There are a handful of solutions out there, including Adobe's 'CreateJS Toolkit', which asks that you use Java script instead of ActionScript within Flash for interactivity functions. I'm not a coder. The Google 'Swiffer' utility is JUST what I needed... it is literally a one button translator... and after a short wait you are looking at your animation/interactivity playing back afore you in your browser with full vector quality- samples I've seen even play smoother than the same file in a swiff. You also get the benefit of incredibly small file sizes, like a swiff. My initial tests look great on my iphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
