Flash-to-HTML5 Converter on its Way by DAViD ALLeN

Posted on March 11, 2011

Just this week Adobe has released a new Flash-to-HTML5 conversion tool codenamed Wallaby . It is however still an experimental AIR app that lets developers convert Flash Professional files to HTML5 . It is touted as being “very easy” to use (drag and drop) and is intended to allow developers to get their content onto iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. Adobe is looking for developers and designers to test out the tool and see how the new code looks and functions.

With the eminent onset of HTML5 as the new web standard, Adobe has been looking for a way to port over current Flash content and hold on to Flash as still being a driving force on the net. Additionally, since there are nearly 3 million developers using Flash, Adobe wants to find a way to help them utilize their existing skills to make Flash content available to the widest possible audiences. Wallaby could just be their solution.

If you are able to try out Wallaby, please let us know below your thoughts on the tool.
