    Convert flash to HTML5

    Hey, so I know ~nothing about flash or HTML5 animation. But I wanted to convert my flash animation on my website to HTML5 so it's compatible with iOS.

    So, I have a .swf file, that I know references a .txt file to pull out some text strings used in the animation. I converted the .swf file using Google's Swiffy, and got an .html file that did not pull out my text strings from the .txt file.

    Then I went into the .html file, found where each of the strings were referenced, and manually typed in the text string, along with changing "variable":"textline1" to "text":"My Text String".

    That's all great, but now the font is just generic Times New Roman. How do I change the font to something different in the .html file? There is also a label in the .html string that says "font":1. But when I change the number, nothing happens, nor if I try something like "arial" in place of the 1...

    Anybody have any clue?

    Looking at the problems people are having converting SWF to HTML5 I think that that converting software is still in beta or experimental.

    You may have to start from scratch and produce HTML5 videos that can be accessed by everyone. Not a fun job. In my estimation this whole HTML5 video thing was caused by Apple not allowing Flash on their devices.
