Flash Action Script

Hello everyone,
A few tear back I made the mistake of writing my website in Flash Actionscript. Many of you are aware that Apple hasn’t supported it in years and soon FlashPlayer will be gone and no longer supported by windows.
I’m not selling anything. I’m a visual artist. This is my website while it last: cosmicgoo.com only viewable with adobeFlashPlayer.
I’ve found nothing to convert actionscript to javascript. So I’m new to P5.js and even newer to WEBGL, It’s a carousel website needing x,y,z axis. I’ll provide the code below, of where I’ve gotten but I’m stuck. It’s a simplified version of my website, but with no images. I’ll try to format it right as I’m not sure what"</>" means.
There are multiple image/thumbnails textured to a pane on a carousel. The goal is to make the carousel rotate on it’s y axis through the x movement of the mouse(done/or close enough to get my point across). Stuck here: Make each thumbnail clickable and respond to rollover mouse events at any point in the carousel. In actionscript you can define an object as a button.
I can provide the original actionscript if anyone is interested

Just a tip, not an answer to your question –

While you work on converting your website to JS, you could try Ruffle as an interim solution. It’ll allow your webpage to display SWF content on any browser, without the Flash player plug-in. I’ve had mixed results with it, but it’s improving all the time. Probably worth a try.

I just use Waterfox Classic for both Flash & Java viewing: :stuck_out_tongue:

pixijs.com is a JS library quite close to ActionScript. Maybe good if you want to work in something that feels familiar.

I’m using it for a project currently and enjoying it.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I’m using this situation as a P5.JS learning opportunity. This is my first P5.JS sketch. I have been working with Processing 3 JAVA. Everything I know about either I’ve learned from Daniel Shiffman. Perhaps, what I’m asking for help with is beyond the scope of this forum. I was hoping to have heard from more folks by now. So, I’m proposing a coding challenge. If any one can either try to duplicate one page of my website cosmicgoo.com. I downloaded the sample code from JustJoomla many years ago. I’d like to get Daniel Shiffman in on this. I can upload the original script or my latest revision if anyone is interested.
Thank you everyone
hope to hear from you
