Old Flash software still exists but is hard to come by nowadays.
There’s this website that has a lot of old flash software called https://animatearchive.neocities.org/?home

Joining Newgrounds unexpectedly through that game a year ago just keeps making new crazy stuff like this happen.

I appreciate the extra time, but I hope that I can make the best use of the extra time and not just procrastinate longer. D

362 pages? I assume that it will only be available as an ebook?
I think extending the time is a right call. I honestly need more time XD

Yes, I definitely need more time. I spent majority of the time learning actionscript

There was only one reason apple and the others in big tech wanted flash dead... It was all about total control/lockdown, both the ways around their efforts at content control, and ways to exercise it for users. (see ads) It's no longer a secret, one only need to look at the size and nature of app stores now (flash was a threat), modern browsers and especially flash's so-called "replacements"... (Integrated right into the browser, amorphous and almost impossible to fully control or shut off on the user end... well without gimping most of the wider web) That OC are just as big of a security threat (a much loved/regurgitated excuse for its death) only now spread across a bunch of different parts and elements, needed to try and replace functionality.. which they don't and can't do anyhow!
The death of flash was the true beginning of the long march toward an internet as little more than a big media/tech interactive content delivery service.
I think the reason flash declined was because of adobe’s focus on web development. If Adobe would’ve focused on the creative aspect of flash I think it could’ve lasted a lot longer.
also Steve Jobs didn’t like flash because it ate up battery due to swf files running on the cpu.

March 27, nice.. Let's see if I can pull something really cool this year.
Wow, jacksmack posting about this on Facebook got me to look into this and resurrect my account a bit. I might be able to dust off my ancient Actionscript skills and get something (simple) working by that time....maybe. Or maybe even turn one of my abandoned prototypes into something not so abandoned again. But that code is sooooo old!
And March 27 is coming up sooo fast! Or did it get extended beyond that?
Love the idea though. Might consider teaming up with an artist if they're willing to work on something small.
Also, I'm cableshaft btw. Not quite sure how to get into my original account right now. I coded Proximity and Clock Legends and some other games.

Suppose if you don't make it, it wouldn't hurt to practice the ol actionscript again in the meantime, heck, a whole year's worth of time until the next ome!

Note Regarding the NG API for Medals and/or High Scores
Since the last Flash Forward, we updated the Project System to default to our HTML5 API (Newgrounds.io). If you go to the API page in your project, there's an "Advanced" link in the top right of the header bar. Click that and in the paragraph below there is text to "click here" to switch to the old Flash API. Do that and it should guide you through the rest. Flash API documentation is in the wiki.
Need Help with Flash and AS2?
@JackSmack has made a blog post of helpful classic AS: Main forum posts!
We also have some classic Flash and Flash Game Tutorials in the wiki!

My first entry for the jam2022, I give you Zemmiphobia!
Just something I wanted to put out there for folks - I've converted most of this Delaunay triangulation and Voronoi tessellation library from AS3 to AS2 for this jam. On top of that, I'm working to get these A* pathfinding scripts set up to play nicely with the Voronoi library in AS2. If anyone has need of either (the Voronoi library could be nice for making background art in a menu, or maybe the node-based pathfinding can be used for a tower defense game or something), let me know, I'd be happy to share (just gotta strip out all the "why the fuck is this not working" trace statements from debugging)! I'm not totally sure I'll be able to finish my game, so I don't want to see that work go to waste.
Hey Mr. @TomFulp, is there gonna be a full screen mode for ruffle games on mobile?

YES! The deadline got delayed again!

It seems the deadline has changed for a second time. Huh...
With a longer deadline, I guess I will try to do something in Flash to post as an entry.
I thought Actionscript died with flash?

Hi guys, just a quick question - does the High-score system work with AS2 currently?
I get this response after the call to gateway_v2.php when I try to save scores with API.postScore:
command_id: "securePacket" error_code: 0 error_msg: "Malformed secure packet! Your encryption key may be missing or invalid (check for white space)." success: 0
I've applied the API ID and encryption key, the medals are working.. Are the scores working only for released games?
Thanks!
