google swiffy (and adobe wallaby) 2011-07-01 21:39:44

So google recently unveiled a little app called swiffy, which can convert flash 8/as2 files to HTML5, which basically means it can be played in your android/iDevice/etc., just upload something below 512mb and youll get a bunch of html5 with css3 and javascript

Of course, theres also the adobe wallaby, which does the same, but I have yet to see it in action

Now both are very beta and have their limits, buts its sure a lot of fun seeing your creations on your tiny screen, in a not so far away future where this is better, newgrounds could have a mobile website with some html5 versions of popular flashes!

You can see it in action here. (Article).

Also, they don't do the exact same thing. Swiffy converts a SWF file into HTML 5, while Wallaby converts a .fla file. Google also recommend using Flash 5, so you can't use filters and other features found in later versions of Flash.

By mobile site I assume you mean a site for iDevices, as Android powered phones come with Flash Player.
