Expect this to happen again and again when using non-free proprietary software.

Instead it is better to prefer using things which are free and open source software as they effectively can't be killed off, even if the original programmers stop maintaining them, as they can always be forked and the projects continued.

With Flash, the best we have are workarounds to try to get it working again, and still the unreasonable encumberance of the necessity to somehow obtain the no-longer sold and no-longer supported tools. There are ways to make Flash output without using Adobe's official tools, but all such ways seem to be inferior and with drawbacks of their own, but could be suitable in some cases.

Going forward, I hope everyone learns a valuable lesson of putting their time into learning and using free and open source programming languages and environments, and preferring those, instead of putting all of their eggs into proprietary software basket and hoping commercial company continues support indefinitely.

People still make stuff for the Commodore 64 so no reason not to try with Flash!

No hard rule there. I'd say it has lower chances of winning, if something is truly great maybe we'll have a NSFW Award.

ActionScript 2 is what you should look into. 3 does not let u code objects

Good luck to everyone taking part!

Having an entire event dedicated to Flash is a dope idea and I commend Tom and the other NG dudes for making it happen. Flash deserves to be remembered for the impact it had.


This is great, I made a blog post about it! I also modified FlashProfessional to support Ruffle.

It's true why it died but at least there's open source efforts, good ones, to keep the content and possibly the production of it alive.

Ruffle for Flash Player, and OpenFlash for authoring (very early in development as of right now)

By makin' it in a copy of Flash you can get a hold of, in ActionScript 2, and posting it here under Ruffle emulation

Do your research and find out. Buddy you'll be surprise to know who still uses old flash. I made a collab part once, and all I had to do to be in was send in the file, I didn't make it because an older version of flash couldn't open it. This was Last year.

You can play the old Flash games in-browser if they are supported by Ruffle, which is most of the AS2 games at the moment. A lot of the Flash games are AS3, which will be supported in the future.
