Question

Re-brand suggestion to really help Animate uptake!

As we know Flash and SWFs have a long and rich history. 
 
It also has a very bitter end. 
 
The amount of hostility and miss information about Flash and SWFs online is staggering. As a professional user of Adobe Animate I have an invested interest in making clients comfortable with their content being created on Adobe Animate rather than Adobe After Effects.
 
I believe that one HUGE stumbling block is down to the simple fact that the files are called. .FLA and .SWF.
 
This creates a lot of hostility and the need to explain a lot.
 
It would be amazing for users and the brand in general if we could change these file names. 
 
For example:
 
Adobe Animate.
Working file names .an (eg myProject.an)
And publishing file name .anim or something similar.
 
Has Adobe considered this? It would be a very small change that would make a HUGE difference.
 
I’d love to get thoughts on this.
