safe flash to gibberish save

 This "flash converter" technically is not using the flash format but is relying only on the content.

This "flash converter" does not read the flash file but rather converts the content to some unreadable format.

The content owner presumably allows that. And we are not violating Adobe's rights, since they have no rights to the content.

We then provide an HTML5+js gibberish player that uses the content to present an animation, in a way that is different from Adobe player, for example playing the animation backwards. The user may choose to play it forward if they wish to do so.

And so you get to view the book of Almagest animations or other Flash content from any website.
