Adobe Previews export to HTML5 from Flash professional

As people have long anticipated, while Flash player may not be the future of Adobe’s mobile strategy, Adobe is working hard to keep Flash Professional as the tool for animators to use by supporting direct export to HTML5 using the Toolkit for CreateJS.

One point that’s mentioned in the video is that the export seems to be primarily targeted at animation, and to script the interactivity developers would use JavaScript directly. This means Adobe is attempting to generate clean code and a nice API for interacting with exported flash elements from HTML5, which I applaud them for greatly.
