Sorry, I cant find a forum for Flash (the animating program).

I have cs5.5 and i want to know if i can still use it after Adobe purges flash player. Its as if Flash (the animating program) never existed to Adobe. I still use that program, currently working on an animation and all the "uninstall flash player" has me worried i won't be able to use my flash animation program anymore.

    You're aware that Adobe officially renamed Flash to Animate a few years ago, yes?

    yes, you can.

     

    only publishing swf files for web browsers would be of almost no use becuase it's the flash player web browser plugin that was withdrawn by adobe (and has been of limited for the past few years).

    SWF can still be used with WASM emulator like Ruffle-rs, Waflash, chearpX, Gnash, Xamarin etc..
