Has there been any work towards a Flash to HTML5 converter instead?

Yeah, they're listed in README:

I notice the quoted section does not currently mention CreateJS ( @Wikipedia ) which Adobe adopted as a replacement for Wallaby. CreateJS@GitHub is available in several repos under MIT License.

You also do not mention things like the Mozilla Public Licensed Apache Flex ( @Wikipedia ) which is used by things like the MIT Licensed FlashDevelop ( @Wikipedia ) among others (including Adobe Flash Builder). Nor things like Tamarin, which I know was mentioned in another issue posted here.

I see two parts to deprecating Flash:

1. an open source SWF player to be able to open historic content which cannot practically be ported
2. an open source FLA converter that can export to contemporary constructs like HTML5 allowing currently projects to migrate while still supporting their current development cycles (some are rather long)

And of course good tool development for new projects but that does not really need to involve Adobe (though that also does not prevent them from doing things in that marker either).
