I just wrapped up rebuilding a ‘Fighting Hunger Quiz’ for Bank of America. Originally built in Flash by another vendor, I rebuilt everything from the ground up using native web technologies. The original flash animations were preserved by re-working the flash files and exporting JavaScript objects with createJS to be displayed in an HTML canvas. There was a good deal of manual manipulation to get the animations to export as many blending modes, color transformations, nesting, and path tweens were not supported, but it was a pleasure preserving something that had been so well done. Hopefully I did not butcher the original animations too badly. It sure beat building everything over from scratch and what better tool for this type of job than Flash? The exported JavaScript objects were lean and easily extended to create methods for setting animation states so that they could be integrated into our new quiz. And of course it now runs on all devices. The Flash/Create.js pipeline certainly has it’s hiccups, but so far I haven’t found anything that works better.
