Is there someway we can copy over files from Flash CS6 into Flash CC to enable ActionScript 2.0 support again or has it been removed from the programs code?

    Its actually pretty easy it took me a while to figure out but if you have CC you can download and install cs6 for free.

    To download and install previous versions of apps, such as CS6, do the following:

    1. Open Creative Cloud for desktop and go to the Apps panel.
    2. Filter the apps by Previous Versions.
    3. Choose a version from the Install menu.

    None of this worked for me so I asked support, they gave me this link which worked for downloading flash CS6.

    Now I can use both actionscript 2.0 and export FLV again in 2017! lol

    thank you Adobe support!

      Install Flash CS6 through Creative Cloud.

      Open Creative Cloud. Scroll to not installed apps. Above them there is bar. Click blue text on the right and choose "Previous version". Then click "Install button" relating to Flash and choose CS6.

      Watch how to do it. Click link below.

      I m sorry but in my Creative Cloud there is no "Previous version". Do I need to uninstall Flash CC2014 before I can get the option to install "previous versions"?

      You don't. Just click blue link on not installed apps header and choose "Previous version". Then scroll to Flash, click "Install" and choose CS6. I have both CC 2014 and CS6 installed.

      Thanks to reading this thread, I was able to solve my AS2 problem. I discovered I happened to have an old Adobe CS3 Premium license in my account, so I am downloading that now. I am sure newer versions will work too, this is just the version I happened to have and it works fine for me:  Download CS3 products

        Thank you kang0372! While I am moving away from flash for sites because the lack of support. I still need to update the few I have and I personally never jumped on the AS3 wheel as it seemed to take 3x the time to make a simple button or animation.

        I am now reverting to verion 6 so I can open my files. THANK YOU again.

        agree, adobe made a lot of mistakes these years against developers

        so if they want to keep generations of actionscript developers they must

        continue to support as2 because it concerns hundred of thousands companies and developers

        Never mind, you need to be logged in for the dropdown to show up on the link which Kang0372 gave.

        Why did they remove this!? A lot of people (like myself) still use AS2 for simple quick coding stuff.

        They should put it back in, since they can now with the cloud and updates.

        This is a pretty huge problem for me. I work with some big brands that have a looooot of legacy flash files. Going back to CS6 for sure. Can't imagine it's really necessary to remove support for this considering there's still so much of it floating around, and it's only one version back.
