My first thought on it would be to make the flash animation into a sequence of AVIs or even GIFs and then use HTML5 to create the interactive components again. Usually any 'convert this complicated instruction code to this other construction code' ends with a mess. Swiffy appears to be no exception to this. ;)

Also, H.264 streaming codec is a part of HTML5, so you could make it stream the video with interactive buttons. This is theoretical stuff. I haven't had an opportunity to poke my fingers into HTML5 much at all besides some light reading.

yeah, that's the idea. I've insert a .mp4 video without a problem, but I'm getting stuck with the interactive part to add buttons and functions. >_<

If you have the time to wait, I have a very large Halloween picture to get done within the next six days. But once that's done I can do the research necessary to build a streaming video player in HTML5.

..Now if only I could remember to click 'reply to this post'. =D

alright, no big rush :)
is it possible to add conditions for the player? like for example, on my animations I've create an if and else condition that checks if the "next button" as been hit it'll play the animation until the last frame and then change the speed (goes to a different animation file).

From what I was just skimming while eating breakfast ( http://blog.steveheffernan.com/2010.....-video-player/ ), HTML5 just uses JavaScript with media file access. So the short answer is: Yes. It's also potentially possible you can make it appear exactly like the flash file, down to the interactive buttons, using only one AVI file. This is (of course) dependent on the viewer using an HTML5 enabled browser.

(or MP4 instead of AVI)

haha very nice! :)

I've sent you an email.

making Flash vs making HTML5 Video/Canvas is different. There is no flash developer studio for html5. One would bake the flash into a video file, or heavily javascript it.

Flash makes it look easy.

yeah, the most similar is the Adobe Animate Edge, but it doesn't seem to have the same workflow, at least I didn't dig enough on the program to make sure of that

Welp as you said/found out in the other journal, a line of code in the .css file was the problem. :P

you're right, it was. I've fixed already, just forgot to delete the other journal lol! thanks :)

Looks like WeaselGrease has you covered, but I was also going to suggest using the Javascript video API for HTML5. There's an introduction to it here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US.....udio_and_video

indeed, though I would need to have more control than just play it, as they are interactive with have more control of the video and I've no idea how to do that lol :X

I'll be interested to hear the end results of this. I feel like I will need to start digging down that well eventually too.

yeah, flash eventually will be dead, so it's better to get our stuff and learn how to work with different tools :P

Flash itself I think may still be relevant for a while, especially if they implement HTML5 stuff in it, but SWF as a file format is on borrowed time.

maybe what's going to happen is adobe migrate the creation of content for web from flash to edge animate, though this program is more focus on web content than the general as the flash can, but hey, it's still on the second version yet :)

Wish the same could be said about javascript *coughs*

haha cobol ftw then! :O

Best to still export the flash, and fall back to it when html5 isn't supported, the html structure for html5 pretty much you just insert the tags of formats in order and it drops to the next one.

Yes, from my information it can create something close to similar, but there's some conditions. It's not fully programmable in the same way like individual tweens if you're talking native video format, if you're doing objects on canvas, you basically are doing flash with html5 those can be moved and follow tracks of points, but canvas is still even farther off from being compatable in anything but the very newest versions of browsers. Though the needs you have, you can create the same things with some 'absolute' css positioned buttons over the video, and then yes there's javascript commands to swap video out, autoplay, pause, jump to time, and even rewind (play backward) in most browsers.

It's pretty much same as javascript drawing on canvas or doc, you create the variable, bind it to the element that wraps the video, and then can just issue el.stop(); and such.
