How to Make SWF File Viewable on Mobile Devices
"I made a banner in Macromedia Flash Pro 8. I uploaded it to my website and it looks great. Only problem is when I view my site on a mobile device I can't see the banner. I tried it on an Android device, and 2 different Apple devices.
So my question is how can I convert it to something viewable on all devices without losing the active parts of it, like the hotspots I put in certain places...
If someone could please help me that would be great.
Please & Thank you."

Hi, Samantha. To solve your problem, first you should note that, never would/will any Apple devices support Flash SWF files. Besides, Android also stop the support of Flash since "Jelly Bean" came out. As is known to all, today Apple and Android are occupying the mobile devices market, so, if you aim to better show your website (with Flash SWF file) on mobile device browsers, you need to convert the SWF to mobile device-friendly format. For example, you can convert the SWF movie to HTML5 MP4/WebM, etc.
In your case, to make SWF files viewable on mobile devices, you need to convert SWF banner to GIF. You know, all browsers, including mobile browsers, perfectly support GIF animations.
