Who it was going to say? Adobe has released an application for Mac and Windows that allows you to convert the design and animation of a Flash to HTML5 file to help web developers to extend the scope of their content by making them compatible devices that don't support this format.
Available from the Adobe Labs website under the codename of Wallaby, the company describes as an "experimental technology" tool pointing directly to the family iOS of Apple iPhone, iPod touch and iPad as its clear objective. Once we convert a .fla file to HTML, we can edit it normally with any tool like Adobe Dreamweaver (or to the classics, Textmate) to give the finishing touches. You'll get Wallaby that Apple and Adobe bury the hatchet in his controversial debate on the viability of Flash on mobile phones… in a most unexpected way devices?
A commendable movement that although calls into question the confidence of the company in its own format, at least serves to ensure relative compatibility that allows developers to easily offer alternative versions of their web sites with Flash. That if, at least for the moment this tool not resolved completely the problem because as Adobe points out, the HTML5 format does not support all the features of Flash Professional as transformations 3D, ActionScript, streaming audio or embedded video, but at least we must thank this first step.
