I cannot livestream fb messenger video call as it needs flash media to broadcast. None of the audio reply questions. He has a tech ticket for student services who are supposed to have a work around. The main thingb i think alot of the responders are missing is, Adobe has been telling your websites that you play games etc. Honestly Adobe did its due diligence. There are updates made to the background on websites constantly, and a games or feature bei9ng switched over to a new system should be almost invisible to a user of a website.
So that even the person who knows nothing except the power button even on a computer would still be able to do what they did before. So if you have a site or something that dont work, there is usually a link at the bottom of a page that says contact developer,web master, or something. My opinion take it as that. It is the responsibility of publishers to author the games in prevalent, relevant standards, up-to-date standards, rather than relying on technology that arguably should have been killed off a decade ago.
They are the people behind the software that graphic designers, video editors, game designers, web designers, lithographic print houses, in fact the vast majority of the creative industry rely on.
No one called Larry or Sergei is about to dethrone them. Not at all. Flash was appalling. Good riddance. I am a teacher and currently trying to live teach from home. I installed plugin freemind browser in WordPress site. When run, it is asking to install flash. What to do…..? Performance is spotty and does not compare to the smoothness of gaming using Flash. You can always make something secure. Switching over to HTML5 is born from laziness.
Flash is way better for gaming in every respect. A shame that it is not supported. Kixeye having so many issues with HTML5 it is ridiculous how many glitches there are and will be.
It is not stable in the least. I have an old Mac desktop running OS X snow leopard. It will not support any updates to the software. Now that flash is gone, I cannot use my exercise website. What can I do? I cannot use safari as this older version will not support it. Adobe has not provided any new information or alternative software at this time.
And by what credentials do you make that statement? Even a sophomoric understanding of the relevance of vector graphics and why it is important? It appears not. No Adobe shut it down because the big players saw vector graphics as a threat to their ever expanding empire of growth for bitmaps images because they can charge you for the increasingly egregious amount of bandwidth that it takes to display them.
Kind of like the oil companies, steel companies and automotive companies had which will also die when electric cars become the norm. A purely aesthetic platform. As programmers inveigled their way into it i. Vector Graphics will return — and it will not be WebGL — another programming horror show.
First they killed Videotex naplps then they killed Flash. I am in the same boat as the teacher above. I have downloaded powerpoint presentations as well as made my own that have embedded videos and now none of them wil open- I get the message to download the newest Flash, which I had dutifully uninstalled, not understanding that it would destroy my ability to present to my students.
Is there a way to open these using some other method? I could not care less about gaming- I just need to teach my CPR classes. Being retired I was never told that these would not work anymore. I assume that if my powerpoints were not created with one of the alternatives like HTML5 that I can not use those to open them? Do you know how many games I have purchased that I have not even played yet that needs the flash player , what about all that money thrown in the water now this is very unprofessional discontinuing a app and not replacing with a substitute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Linda, We agree! They should have tried to find an alternative before they discontinued so users could still use software that required Flash Player. We believe the main reason why they discontinued is due to security vulnerabilities. Can Microsoft or some other tech. I have not uninstalled Flash player yet. Is it possible to use it relatively safely if completely offline with WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular data, etc.
I ask this knowing, of course, that no one can guarantee safety especially when Adobe warned of security issues. Just wondering what exactly those issues are. Adobe does recommend removing the Flash software from your computer. The main reasons are that hackers will break into the unprotected software, and then individual computers as they can. What is the alternative for Adobe Flash Player.
I need it for Grahps Presentations and others. Anyone please, which App is suitable in place of A. Flash Player. Please help. Many thanks. Your email address will not be published.

Thanks a lot for your afvice. Hi Mark, Thanks for your comment, and I agree that's it's important to provide lots of reference links and resource links.
Here are 2 main resource links which I have added to the beginning of the article above:. Additional link with quote from mobilenewsmag. As a blogger and researcher, the prudent thing I do is always include reference links sources for any quotes used for blog articles, so readers can read the "original" article where the excerpt was taken from. Can you please provide the link where you got the apparent quoted official statement from Adobe please?

In the 's I dreaded loading a web page with Flash. Flash was a necessary evil. The security flaws and the proprietary nature were pretty good reasons that Flash was little more than a historical flash in the pan footnote.
Flash was wholly owned and controlled by Adobe. Macromedia did a great job at creating Flash in an era when the only competitor were really super slow Java applets. Flash was never a great solution. Even when it was commonplace it was one of those necessary evils. While it allowed for "cross platform" web programming in the early days of HTML before JavaScript became good it also suffered from the same ills that plagued Java: it was excruciatingly slow; it was unstable; and, it was notoriously unsafe.
It is easy for someone to claim "freedom of choice" but that's not how computers work or worked. People--even knowledgeable ones--had a hard time containing Flash. Exploits were easy to access and often used to harm innocent users. While it affects me I have a number of Flash solutions that I will lose easy access to I can't say I shed one tear at the end of Flash. Claudia, To add to what rc primak has stated, I would suggest reaching out to AARP directly to inquire about games not working, and be sure to include names of which games are not working, and any errors you are receiving.
They should be able to advise if it is at all related to the Flash changes, or if there is something else you need to do browser, Windows upgrade, etc. I'm sure they would appreciate hearing from you and details so they can advise about what can be done to remedy the situation.
Feel free to post specific errors you are getting so some of us can help you troubleshoot further. AARP redesigned their website entirely late in as part of an overall plan, which was ongoing. Some of the changes involved rebranding several features.
Games may have been one of those changes. Again, the redirect is not Flash specific. Menu Site! Please help me as I'm not very knowledgeble re computers 78 yrs old! Steve Jobs may he rest in peace was not right, he saw what better suited his "company" he acted selfishly and didn't care about what it may have caused for millions around the world that had to recreate everything, or with a lot of difficulty to try and convert to HTML5, Adobe saw that the pressure was put on them so they had no choice but to discontinue it, there were no security flaws no more than ANY other application that runs on the internet including the so called antiviruses.
If there was a risk, just warn the user and they are free to make the choice whether to use or block it, but no, this has zero to do with any security flaws. It's sheer hypocrisy. It was a lie, they used it to trick people they removed because it did not suit their profit margins period.
Issac, please see my note to Kevin with suggestions about what will happen to games. It will depend on the manufacturer and creator of each game. For game websites, I found this article which may help:.
It seems that there are a lot of people and companies willing to help and offer services for program and game conversion. Thank you Anthony for also posting a link to your article for info and help on conversion. Hi Kevin, you asked about games on Notdoppler. I would recommend checking each sites for instructions on what to do if the games do not work.
For example, for notsdoppler. I would search for "xxx flash issues" replace xxx with your game or program to find help and info. For others who are looking for more codey information, I also found this article written by a game developer with tips when converting to HTML and Javascript:. Flash was great; it was heavy though. Its designs were crispy, it offered great vector animation. Too bad for Flash that new technologies like CSV animation surfaced and made things so difficult for it that it has to give up.
Anyhow, replace a simple Flash HLS video component into html5 is nut, but a complex UI application is quasi impossible..
Make Flash open source right now Adobe and don't look back because we the majority who deal with the web at the very core are sick and tired of this.
I for one have grown very tired of Adobe's little monitor tools that go into every aspect of what programs you have running on your personal computer. That is an invasion of privacy and I for one keep turning them off but every time an update is required to so called fix a security hole they put them back live again and here we go. Stop infringing on our privacy.
We made you and we can break you. Open Source Forever!!!! Kevin, I'm not sure but I'll see what I can find out. If anyone else who may be a gaming developer may know, please comment and let us know what you think.
Thank you for your comment, Gowardhan Doddi. I'm including your feedback comment for anyone who may want to check your ebook for conversion. Although not all flash based programs and files may be easily converted, it's helpful to have as many resources as possible to consider for research.
How is this going to affect online game sites like Notdoppler. It's not exactly super important, but it effects normal people like me. Converting your courses from flash to hml5 may seem overwhelming but you can use the 4R strategy given in our eBook to kick start your flash course conversions. So what some people are saying is that this "Flash is on its death bed" is as fake as "The World is Coming to an End?
How many times have people run for cover only say, "Oh, false alarm! One of these days no one will move and it's going to be a major oops! Now that one was true! Good points gowron and others who have provided a lot more insight on newer information. I think initially a lot of us panicked with the announcement about flash in I am planning on updating and revamping this article.
Thanks for your comments and insight! Well actually, Flash content worked very well with touch.
