It’s a short-term fix, not a long-term solution.Select the appropriate Flash Player version.

The stand-alone Projector would seem to be a safer way to review old Flash modules, and even then, this is not a solution I would present to my clients who are dragging their heels on any Flash conversion projects. However, given the security risks associated with Flash files, I would strongly advise against skipping any OS or browser updates.

I don’t know if Adobe’s action on Jan 12 would apply to earlier versions of the Flash Player plug-in (or if it is even possible to download and install those earlier versions). I’ve been using Projector on my current conversion project, by simply entering the URL where the SWF files are located, to view the old modules.

Keeping this in mind, if anyone is still working on converting Flash-based modules to HTML5 and needs a way to view those modules, the Adobe Flash Player Projector is a tool available to download for free ( Adobe Flash Player Projector) and will allow you to run Flash (SWF) files located on your computer *AND* it will also allow you to enter the URL of an SWF file, and will play the SWF file in the projector (not in a browser). Hello InstructionalRy! Based on the announcement from Adobe, it would appear Adobe itself will be blocking flash content from running in the Flash Player browser plug-in after January 12, 2021, regardless of what browser is being used. If you are still working on converting or rebuilding Flash modules, hopefully this will give you a little more time to view those Flash files. Still, the Projector may give you a little extra time to view SWF files, especially if you want to implement a conversion plan like the one described by Paul Wilson. Since the January 12 plan to block Flash content seems to pertain to the Flash Player plugin (for web browsers), the Flash Player Projector shouldn’t be affected – although it will no longer be supported. I’ve downloaded Adobe Flash Player Projector, which enables me play Flash content on my computer (by entering the URL where the SWF file is located, or browsing to a SWF file on my computer). So what happens if you need to view a SWF after January 12? On January 12, 2021, Adobe will block Flash content from running Flash Player.

If you’ve read the full announcement from Adobe, you know that although support for Flash ends after today (December 31, 2020), another important date is just around the corner. In either case, having the ‘old’ module gives me a better idea of my clients’ perspective.Īnd in the case of one client, who didn’t have any of the original graphics or build files for their Flash module, I relied heavily on the SWF file (which only played in IE11) as a model for rebuilding complicated graphics and arcade-style learning games.

#ABODE FLASH PLAYER 8 UPDATE#

Sure, some clients may want to update some content or graphics, while others want a complete overhaul. This is a concern for me, because when I’m working on updating or rebuilding modules, I like to take a look at what was done in the past as part of my analysis. So what do you do when a client asks you to take a look at a module, but you can’t find a browser to view it on? While this work has kept me quite busy this year, I know that there is still old Flash content out there that has yet to be converted. If you are working on converting or rebuilding Flash e-learning modules, then you know that today, December 31, 2020, is the end of life for support for Adobe Flash Player.
