Once you have exported your rigs and assets from Flash / Animate to an intermediary format, you can import the exported to Harmony.
To do this, you must use a script, TB_Import_Flash_Scene.js, which is packaged with Harmony. This script has a graphical user interface, so you do not need to know scripting to be able to use it. You only need to know how to run it.
To run a script in Harmony, you must add a button for it to your Scripting toolbar. Once the button is added, the Scripting toolbar will look like this:
Clicking this button will open the Import Flash Scene dialog.
