What about automatic conversion tools? Are they reliable?

Some tools claim they have the automatic feature. This is possible for only small SWF files where there are no interactions. However, manual intervention needs to be there at some point of time to make the converted HTML5 version work properly.

Is manual conversion process obvious than automatic one?

Yes of course. There is no proper automatic tool or method to convert existing Flash content to HTML5. Automatic conversion can only get the graphics from Flash to HTML5 and ActionScript codes are not converted to compatible JavaScript. Even Flash graphics that makes use of Flash’s native features like Filters, Tweens, etc will not be converted. One need to work on that manually to bring the same look and feel in HTML5 version. Manual conversion is the best to avoid functionality, graphics and performance issues.

What about time and cost for conversion service?

It mainly depends on how the Flash file is developed. There are many factors involved.
If it is created in old Flash versions like AS1 or AS2 then there will be more effort.

For a Flex app, it needs to be recreated in HTML5/CSS3.
