How to Convert a Legacy Flash Project to HTML5
Convert older Flash-based yearbook projects so they can be opened and used in the current HTML5 editor.
Table of Contents
✨ Overview
Projects created before 2017 may have been built using the legacy editor based on Adobe Flash Player.
These legacy Flash projects can no longer be edited, sold, or ordered. If you need to reuse an older Flash project, you can convert it to the current HTML5 editor.
Note: Flash projects can be identified by the red Flash Format banner.
🔄 Convert a Flash Project to HTML5
- Log in to your account.
- Locate the Flash project you want to convert.
- Click the 3-dot menu for the project.
- Select Copy Project as HTML5.
⚠️ Review the Conversion Warning
After selecting Copy Project as HTML5, a warning will appear explaining that some content may not convert exactly.
Click Continue to proceed.
After conversion, review every page carefully to make sure all content transferred correctly.
🖼️Portrait Pages
Pay particular attention to portrait pages. Flash and HTML5 use different layout logic, so you may need to reapply portrait layouts after conversion.
📘 Create the New HTML5 Project
After continuing:
- Enter the required information for the new project.
- Change the book title so you can easily distinguish the converted HTML5 project from the original Flash project.
- Click Create.
Your new HTML5 project will then be created.
🛒 Flash Projects in a Store
If the Flash project is currently published in a store:
- Unpublish the Flash project.
- Convert the project to HTML5.
- Replace the Flash project in the store with the converted HTML5 version.
If the Flash project remains in the store, customers will be notified that the book can no longer be purchased.
