If you were bummed that you'd have to pick up some new coding skills when Adobe announced that [Flash](http://www.engadget.com/tag/flash,mobile/) for mobile [was finito](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/09/adobe-reportedly-will-announce-the-end-of-flash-player-for-mobil/?a_dgi=aolshare_twitter), cheer up friends. Harken back to the summer months when Google unveiled its [Swiffy](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/29/google-unveils-swiffy-turns-high-maintenance-flash-animations-int/) conversion tool that turns those aging SWF files into browser friendly [HTML5](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/01/adobes-edge-tool-promises-flash-like-animation-through-html5/) animations. Now the folks in Mountain View have created an extension for the Flash desktop app that allows you to export your working files to something a little more up to date with a single click -- or a combination of keystrokes for you pros. So if you're worried you'd have to brush up on your coding wizardry, it seems you're safe... *for now*. If you're sporting Flash CS4 or newer, hit that source link to download the goods.
