I have a flash website I am converting to html 5 - before I do so is there a way to convert the flash or the html5 website if I convert to that, into xara so I can use it as a website in my xara Web Designewr premium? I am on v17, the latest just paid the year subscription 2 months ago or so.
Thanks
Nope. The Xara Desktop approach is a visual design tool.Quote:

It is not that hard to use this as a start but only refer to it for guidance. Create a new site from a blank sheet in XWDP, using its approach, and you can build up a better version quite quickly.

Cool thx acorn. It was not as much the html as it was all the flash animation on the old site I had years ago I wanted to save. I know some companies can replicate it or convert to html 5 pretty easy thought it may be easier to import that as a xara file vs flash, as flash is outdated.
I guess I will just try to recreate it from scratch in Xara somehow. I have all the raw images and such already :)
There are utilities to convert Flash to HTML5, and this might be an option.
Flash had so much promise, it's really sad it's dead. Xara can create some pretty cool Flash animations which you could then use a converter to make into HTML5. If Egg sees this post perhaps he can suggest some conversion utilities and point you in the right direction.
The issue is this - I have a flash website - full of animation, from back in 2013-2015. It has some normal static text and pics but the whole top header is a flash movie complete with sound. Pages have some animated elements on them too that are flash. I was hoping I could either import the flash or convert to html5 and then import into Xara somehow and keep all the flash animations and sounds. That, IO am afraid, the more I research it and what Acorn said, looks to be a no go.Quote:

Hi Dr.T
For a few years after the demise of Flash, Google had a fairly good conversion software called Swiffy. However they dropped this quite a while ago too, so it's no longer an option. So the basic truth is you're just going to have to rebuild the swf content anew. Can you supply a link to your current site so I can see what a rebuild would require?
Thanks Egg but site is been offline a while now, and I have no hosting atm...... so all good, I will just recreate in xara :) I do not need all that fancy sh*t anyways maybe go with a bit more sophisticated site lmao
You might look at some of the Web Animation Effects.
Yes, use those a lot up to now - Love them!!!!! The flash site I had years ago was more like a cartoon movie if you will. Wasn't actual photos but drawings that came to life and did movements, twists, turns all in sequence and I mean if I did each line, each curve each letter and spent hours, days I could prolly get enough stacked effects on each piece to make it look somewhat similar but really I think it is just time to move on and not have as much going on lol. I appreciate the help - if there was a simple way to convert and do it sure, but seeing there is not a super easy n quick way I will just use some effects and do a simpler effect.Quote:

Hope y'all like really cool - should still open easily in Internet Explorer lol

Without starting the debate about autostart audio here's your swf recorded via a screen recorder and loaded into a placeholder in Xara as an MP4.

Very nice thanks, tho That is a client video I obviously wanted to edit for my own use - I guess you opened up a new idea, edit it as a flash video, do it as I did when I made that many years ago, then screen record it and turn it into a movie I can put in a placeholder lol. It's an idea. I was going to try and convert to html5 and make the video the website so u can click on parts of it but this might work and I just add buttons and such outside the video. Good looking out, thanks a lot :)Quote:

Same here, I created most of my clients sites in Flash way back. It created very compact and concise sites mostly with vector content.Quote:

My software for Macromedia then Adobe Flash has long gone and of course won't work with Windows 10 anyway.
There's been an abyss since the decline of Flash and the adoption of SVG. There has been no comparable software which has been so easy to create static & animated sites as it was via Macromedia Flash.
Strangely enough you can still produce swf files from Xara but of course these are and always have been very limited and need converting to video files (.avi? I can't remember at present), for inclusion in modern browsers.
Not my work but loved this site back in the day (the fondex site - using archive so u can see what they once had) - funny looking over their old site from 2000, one of their 10 internet toppicks (stocks to buy) was Amazon - this was in 2000 they said buy Amazon stocks....... if only I had looked into this company for more than their cool website design (flash content) I woulda been rich right now lmaoQuote:
