This tool provides a fast way of reusing animations made in Flash CS in Cocos2D projects. A minimaly tweaked version of the amazing exporter by Grapefrukt provides a way to export all the animation information (position, rotation, scale) of a Flash made character to xml. The FlashToCocos iOS library reads those xml files and recreates the characters in Cocos2D.

```actionscript
import com.grapefrukt.exporter.simple.SimpleExport;
import com.grapefrukt.exporter.extractors.*;
// change robot for whatever name you want to use
var export:SimpleExport = new SimpleExport(this, "robot"); 
// change RobotCharacterMc for whatever name you MovieClip is in the library
export.textures.add(TextureExtractor.extract(new RobotCharacterMc)); 
AnimationExtractor.extract(export.animations, new RobotCharacterMc);
export.export();
```
