Anybody know how? or know of a tool that does it?

I don't know flash, at all, but I want to use the code from a flash template to create a regular HTML website.

I'm not sure how well it works, but this is one I've heard of before. It converts SWF files to HTML5:

Looks like you can upload small SWF files or download an extension for Adobe Flash Professional that does it.

That doesn't seem to work. Seems alot of the stuff used on the site isn't supported. :(

Thanks, tho.

There's no way to do that that I'm aware of. I hate flash with a passion though, so maybe I haven't looked into it enough. They use different languages though.

I believe this is what you are trying to accomplish.

Not exactly... lol

I know how to embed swf files into HTML. I want to convert the code for a Flash movie into HTML. I want the code so I can create a static site.

And TheCount, I'm with you there. Flash is a true pain in the buttocks.

Oh ok..I gotcha now. Yeah that is a pain in the buttocks. I think there may be a way to do it if you have a Wordpress page. I seem to recall running into it a while back.... let me do some research and see what I can dig up.

Turns out the program I was talking about is actually a company that converts your pre-existing flash page to HTML5, which isn't what you are trying to do. It is very expensive anyway. Here is the website just in case you want to read up on it.

convertmyflash.com/ (http://convertmyflash.com/)

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any simple code to do what you want as others have said.

flash is a self contained object designed to run by extension.

if you have a look you're going for, i'd just start over.

send me some links of what you're after and i'll offer what i can.

The closest thing you can do is convert Flash to HTML5. HTML5 still doesn't support all of Flash's functionality so depending on what you're converting. Well, you will be lucky if it converts fully.

That said, HTML5 is still being developed and no browser supports all of what already is developed. Most of HTML5 isn't even an actual standard yet, so what a browser supports of HTML5, may not be HTML5 tomorrow.

Gotta love technology! :D

Done. :)

setup joomla 2.5

remove all modules

put 1 in that is a content slider

put it in the middle of the page.

done.

converting will take months. redoing it is an afternoon with the music up loud.

I've got joomla installed in the background on my website domain as a test, so I'll just need to upgrade it and go from there.

Joomla or any CMS? :)

I haven't used Joomla, but I've used Drupal a few times.

joomla is my favorite. you can pro-skin it cheaply and customize it easily.

about to redo my radio site with a joomla front and end and lose vbull as a cms.

it sucks.

I don't even know how that would be possible. You might can get it to sorta work...but working completely correct I don't see it. Two totally different mediums. One is a self contained animated medium and the other is html. Best bet is to create a html5 page from scratch.
