I'd like to convert a .swf file (containing embedded .swf files) into HTML5. I've tried Google's Swiffy converter, producing a nearly complete HTML5 version of the Flash widget.

However, Swiffy seems to have issues with the embedded files. I converted the embedded .swf files to HTML5 and attempted to edit the generated JS from Swiffy to use the converted embedded files but no luck.

Is there a way to convert .swf files with embedded .swf files?

I solved the issue of embedded .swf using this process:

  1. Convert the master .swf file to a .html file using Swiffy.
  2. Using Dev Tools I was able to see the converted .swf master file was looking for the embedded .swf files as .swf.json files.
  3. I ran the embedded .swf files through Swiffy to turn them into .html files.
  4. Open the .html files you'll see a swiffyobject in the JS code in the header. The swiffyobject is a JSON-formatted object. Copy the object - everything in the {}, including the brackets.
  5. Paste the object into a new file, save the file and append .json to the filename. For example, if your original embedded file was child.swf, the new filename would be child.swf.json. Save it in the place the master .swf was expecting it. This might be a subdirectory.
  6. When you open the master .swf file (converted to a .html file it should now be able to load the embedded .swf.json files.
