Convert Adobe Flash FLA files into HTML and reach more devices
"Wallaby" is the codename for an experimental technology that converts the artwork and animation contained in Adobe® Flash® Professional (FLA) files into HTML. This allows you to reuse and extend the reach of your content to devices that do not support the Flash runtimes. 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. You can view the output in one of the supported browsers or on an iOS device.
Please note that not all Flash Professional features are supported in the HTML5 format. The Wallaby Release Notes describe what features are supported, what differences we have already discovered between the various browsers, what device variations have been found, and any currently known issues.
The only Flash files that cannot be easily converted to HTML code equivalent are games with ActionScript. The other "billions" are simply hideous navigation bars that people were to lazy to do properly, animated headers/footers/pages that can be easily redone in HTML (now that the capabilities exist within the standard), and video. Which shouldn't have been Flash in the first place and can now be H.264 MP4s.
Wallaby does not yet convert ActionScript to HTML5, but with tools like Hype available, that's barely even a problem anymore.

...billions of Flash files.
