Default iPad app with ActionScript 2.0

This is probably a question that has been asked many times but I couldn't find anything about it.
I have a rather elaborate project in ActionScript 2.0, and want to make an iPad app from it. However CS6 doesn't give you an option of publishing to iOS from an AS2 source. What are my options? I know that converting to AS3 is one of them, but this will be a huge amount of work...
I read something about wrapping my AS2 SWF file in an AS3 file, but can that work when the goal is to publish it to iOS? (Sounds unlikely.)
Thanks!

i don't think there is going to be an easy way to do it. how hard would it be to convert the project to as3 is it a huge project?

Thanks for responding, anx.
The project has probably about 10,000 lines worth of code in many different places (but not on buttons, which should help quite a bit).

that wouldn't work when you create an app for iphone its converted into a different file format if you have an external swf (Any external swf) they wouldn't work anymore.

so to your point what your looking to do isn't doable but if there was an easy way to convert your files from as2 to as3 you could do it. i think your only option is to build it up again.
