This is fairly common. We prefer to have the source files if possible but can often decompile the Flash files you have directly. This means we can open up all those .swf files you may have and pull out the text, images, videos, and other assets. We will typically ask for a sample file while we are quoting the project for you.

These tools that convert Flash directly into HTML might look okay on the surface, but not under the hood. The HTML they produce is very messy, making it difficult to fix problems and make future edits. We find that headaches can be greatly reduced with Storyline and a glass of water. Storyline is one of the most used eLearning devleopment tools and publishes clean HTML that works on common computers, browsers, and mobile devices. Let us know if you would like to know more!

HTML has been around since the the web was invented and in the last few years has become more versatile, supporting complex interactions, visual layouts, and animation. During this time Flash began having delivery problems on mobile devices, security, and other issues. Adobe, the makers of Flash, have said they will stop supporting Flash on December 31, 2020. To prepare for this, common web browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Internet Explorer have already begun to push Flash out by disabling the Flash plugin and championing HTML.

While we never know what new thing will drive better training solutions, HTML has always been here and is always evolving. By developing in Articulate Storyline, you can rest easy and know your audience will be able to view your eLearning now and in the future.
