Google Labs has posted a new Swiffy utility that converts Flash SWF files to HTML5 for use with the iPhone and iPad.
Swiffy converts Flash SWF files to HTML5, allowing you to reuse Flash content on devices without a Flash player (such as iPhones and iPads).
Swiffy currently supports a subset of SWF 8 and ActionScript 2.0, and the output works in all Webkit browsers such as Chrome and Mobile Safari. If possible, exporting your Flash animation as a SWF 5 file might give better results.
While the project is still in its infancy and has its limitations, it might eventually be able to be integrated into a third party browser. At the very least it could be used by sites to quickly make their content iPhone compatible.
