Let $T$ be any topological semigroup and $(T, X)$ with phase mapping $(t, x)\mapsto tx$ a semiflow on a compact $\text{T}_2$ space $X$. If $tX = X$ for all $t$ in $T$ then $(T, X)$ is called surjective; if $x\mapsto tx$, for each $t$ in $T$, is 1-1 onto, then $(T, X)$ is termed invertible and the latter induces a right-action semiflow $(X, T)$ with the phase mapping $(x, t)\mapsto xt: = t^{-1}x$. We show that $(T, X)$ is equicontinuous surjective iff it is uniformly distal iff $(X, T)$ is equicontinuous surjective. We then consider minimality, distality, point-distality, and sensitivity of $(X, T)$ when $(T, X)$ possesses these dynamics. We also study the pointwise recurrence and Gottschalk's weak almost periodicity of flow on a zero-dimensional space with phase group $\mathbb{Z}$.
