alt Hacker NewsCan't modern Flash compile to HTML5? Can the open alternatives also do that?
I wish SWF became a common HTML5 transpile format.

HTML 5 offers nothing to match Flash capabilities.
Perhaps you could render to Canvas/WebGL/WebGPU, but you still need to reproduce the entire engine there.
No, it cannot. It can sort of compile some animations (with the libary EaselJS), but you have to use javascript instead of actionscript - but it is really not the same like it was in flash. Basically it does not work for me and I abandoned Adobe Animate and still looking for replacement of the lost Garden of Flash Utopia.
