Here is a summary of my initial observations: Ups Conclusionsīased on the current version (v0.9d) I’m definitely intrigued with the potential applications for Wallaby, but there are quite a few niggles I’d like ironed out before I could start incorporating it into my daily workflow. Please note you will need a Webkit based browser to view the SVG file. Taking a simple animal illustration I designed within Flash as my test case, here are the resulting image and file size comparisons.
I decided to conduct a simple test with this experimental software to see how good the export process was in terms of visual fidelity and what technical issues might prove a sticking point for a large-scale conversion process. The possibility of converting some of these files into a different format suitable for mobile applications is something quite attractive and potentially very exciting. We have been using Adobe Flash within our unit on a daily basis for over 10 years now to create a variety of media assets (static and interactive).
You can view the output in one of the supported browsers or on an iOS device. Once these files are converted to HTML, you can edit them with an HTML editing tool, such as Adobe Dreamweaver®, or by hand if desired. This allows you to reuse and extend the reach of your content to devices that do not support the Flash runtimes. “Wallaby” is the codename for an experimental technology that converts the artwork and animation contained in Adobe® Flash® Professional (FLA) files into HTML. The tool will also tell you which elements can't be converted, like animated masks, filters, and ActionScript.On 8 March 2011, Adobe released an experimental Flash to HTML5 converter codenamed Wallaby. This previously took hours to do by hand. Wallaby means that Flash developers can easily reuse graphics, masks, and animations from their Flash projects in an HTML file. Flash isn't going away anytime soon but many will want to move their Flash content to HTML5 so it can run on devices that don't support Adobe's plug-in. The tool doesn't generate the best markup, but the ability to export your animations out of Flash to HTML, even if the final code needs some clean up, will certainly be appreciated by many developers. Nevertheless, it's worth noting that, despite the HTML5 claims, the page generated appears to be using the XHTML 1.0 doctype (and not ""). The company only showed off a demo, so it's not scheduled for release any time soon, but Wallaby is still impressive.
Not only has Adobe released its own HTML5 video player, added HTML5 export tools to Adobe Illustrator and Dreamweaver CS5, but the company has now showed of a tool (codenamed Wallaby) that converts Flash animations to HTML5.
