I'm wanting to upload something that was only ever available in Flash Player but want it uploaded as a webm or gif so it can be viewed on modern browsers without a Flash replacement like Ruffle. Anyone know if this would be fine on something like this?

You can try using ffdec to check if it contains a .flv file then use ffmpeg to turn it into a .webm, but that looks like it was a vector animation and not an actual video so you're probably SOL.

The animation itself uses vectors instead of a video file inside of a Flash file. btw what does SOL mean?

From what I read, Ruffle has a tool which can export the individual frames of vector animations to an image sequence, which you can then convert to a video (e.g. with FFmpeg). That tool needs to be compiled from source though.
