Hmmm... that's very strange re: the HTML file-- but it's definitely getting rebuilt during the build process. Are you modifying the index.html file in the Export/html5/bin directory? Anyway, as I said, this is the least important gripe... I'll take a further look at greensock-- it look espec

@Cedric, Finally got a chance to play around a bit with Haxe-- really looks promising! I'm wondering how you approach combining HTML with the more complex Flash-style content-- do you compile your Haxe files and then add the appropriate div's etc into a separate HTML file? I.e. it looks like H

@David: You can render HTML5 in openGL with Haxe/OpenFL. OpenGL is default on all teh native targets, the html5 target is still not 100% there, but there's a new backend for it which has improved things massively. Bitmap animation is no problem, either using OpenFL or the createJS extensions if yo

Hi David, I have been playing with a lot of HaXE, createjs, base html5 canvas and, of course, Flash these last months. Whatever you can do in AS3, you can do it with HaXE. And there are some additional benefits, but these are just developer bonuses. From what I can say, JS+HTML canvas execution

John, Flash HTML5 Canvas publishing uses createJS. If, like me, you're using CS6 instead of doing the CC subscription route, there's a Toolkit for that as well (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs.html). I'm just beginning to look at this, and additionally I have the luxury of starting with

Look at Haxe, www.haxe.org and in particular OpenFL lib ( http://www.openfl.org/) to use with it, port your AS3 to Haxe (there are automated tools for this, but you'll probably still have to get your hands dirty) and from there you should be good with a few tweaks to compile with OpenFL to HTML5, i

It's wishful thinking that there is a magic button anywhere that is going to convert any flash app of any real complexity into a fully functional HTML app. I think Adobe are making strides in this area, but it's nowhere near what you need. If it was, Adobe would be blasting it from the rooftop

It doesn't sound that tough a choice to me. Adobe will support Flash for years, for sure--it still supports Director, with regular Shlockwave updates.

I would really consider saying no to that request, and suggesting a rebuild that uses modern web standards. There are a lot of web optimizations that I would almost guarantee an export wouldn't consider... You'd definitely want to be lazy loading a lot of those assets so the preloading is reasonabl
