HTML5 may one day be the future of rich interactive Web content and advertising, but at the moment Adobe Flash remains the tool of choice for designers everywhere. That's a problem when exciting new smartphone and tablet platforms don't support Flash. To resolve that difference, Adobe has published a prerelease version of Wallaby: a program that converts Flash files to HTML5, using JavaScript, CSS, and SVG to produce Flash-like graphics that don't need plug-ins.
First demonstrated at last year's Adobe MAX2010 conference, the tool is currently quite limited. Neither Flash scripting nor embedded video and sound are migrated, and some of the more advanced visual effects like blends and 3D transformations are similarly unsupported. The output is also currently restricted to WebKit-based browsersÂprincipally Safari, Safari Mobile, and ChromeÂdue to its use of WebKit-specific animation functionality. The tool is not yet suitable for migration of rich interactive content like games, and the lack of support for Flash scripting means that even simpler interactions will have to be rewritten using JavaScript.

But that's just a quick guess.
OTOH, there's this from earlier this week: http://www.appleinsi...ominate_ipad.html
HTH a little.
