1) This is regarding a desktop application developed in VC++ code(MFC) which works on windows 10. VC++ code invokes the flash files (.swf) for the front end GUI. The .swf file is compiled from animate document(.fla) file and the action script file(.as)
2) Currently as flash player is blocked by latest windows version, the swf files are not played during execution of the app. I need to have a work around solution to use the flash files in our app. Else what is the option for appropriate conversion of the files (.fla/.as/.swf) inorder to colour changes, data display, movie play, movement of object based on dynamic data etc) as available in the app.
Any suggestions please???

    I understand that this question is old but as there are still some applications need to use Flash I want to mention F-IN-BOX (former FlashPlayerControl): https://www.f-in-box.com/dll/ With it, you can play flash movies after Flash EOL.

    Only Flash browser plugins should be blocked now. Flash projectors should still function just fine. Your app isn't trying to play SWFs using an embedded browser, is it?

    I think it's played using ActiveX control. I have attached the screenshot when I am trying to run my app.
