Hi.

Yeah. Certainly.

What will reach EOL is the plugin for browsers, the Flash Player. Not Animate CC, not even the SWF format.

Animate CC will continue to receive support normally and will continue to being able of exporting:

- Desktop and mobile content using Adobe AIR (runtime) / AS3;

- Native HTML5 (Canvas) content for the web and even for mobile devices if you use some kind of wrapper, like Adobe PhoneGap or Cocoon.io;

- Native WebGL content.

Anyway, would you mind telling us what kind of app do you need?

Regards,

JC

You forgot the future of RIA on the web within 2/3 years, webassembly,

so it will certainl be also the end of HTML5/javascript for RIA
