ActionScript 2 to JavaScript?

[Mikhail Emelchenkov]

Can it translate ActionScript 2 flash game code into JavaScript?

[Kevin Newman]

PlayScript is a compiler for AS3 and PlayScript, so it won't do AS2. It also primarily targets Mono based apps, though HTML5 is in the works from what I understand. Additionally, PlayScript doesn't provide a complete Flash Player runtime, even for AVM2, and definitely not for AVM1 (which would be needed for AS2 support).

I've heard of tools out there that can do AS1/AS2 to JS, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. There are a couple of things that can go from AVM1 based SWF to JS, such as Mozilla's Shumway, and Google's Swiffy, if that helps.

There are others, though not as many as AS3 conversion tools.
