2019 - 09 - 16 - Adobe Flash Is Dead Long Live Adobe Animate

I've been frustrated with Adobe Flash since before it was Macromedia Flash. And now that we're finally looking like it might just go away with the imminent death of the Flash Player in December of 2020 that leaves a WHOLE lot of flash-based training that needs to be dealt with. After I spent part of my morning fighting with Chrome to play some ancient flash based training I did some poking around and found a tool I want to share https://swf-decompiler.org has a nifty app that will convert the SWF file back into an FLA file which will open in Adobe "Flash" Animate. Depending on what you have for an SWF file it may be possible to then just convert the workspace to an HTML5 workspace and export. For more complex projects the SWF-Decompiler will break down all of the elements in the SWF file and export them nice and organized so that you can use them to rebuild whatever it is you need to rebuild. Not the cleanest solution but one that looks promising. What has everyone else been doing for conversions of Flash to HTML5? (Link to full video in bio)
