Flash CS6 and Flash Builder going back to trial mode

Hello. I work with a company that has been using Flash CS6 for its AS2 capabilities for supporting our legacy products. Our team currently has issues with Flash CS6 going back to trial mode recently after we were having no issues for so long. The same thing is also happening to Flash Builder. Is Adobe trying to also kill the development tools as well? Can somebody please shed some light on this? Thanks.

Adobe doesn't support Flash CS6 and Flash Builder. Flash is now Animate, and if you look at the provided tools, they support animation more than programming. I am just guessing but it's only a matter of time before the coding goes to only javascript. I mean they only have templates for old phones and other devices. Look how old the templates are in the screenshot... that version 22.0.7

CS6 is obsolete, discontinued and unsupported software from 10 years ago.  Use at your own risk.

 

For best results, switch to Creative Cloud Animate (formerly called Flash Pro).

Nancy, how would anyone switch to Animate when they need AS2?

ActionScript 2 was superceded by ActionScript 3 in 2006.  This is 2022 😯.
