Es muy lamentable más aún en vista de la cantidad de recursos interactivos digitales que los maestros de todo el mundo estamos usando para llevarles a nuestros estudiantes los conocimientos. Y toda esa base de recursos a los que podíamos acceder con el flash ya no podremos cuando más lo necesitamos desde el aprendizaje remoto. Noimporta si llevan 3 años avisandolo pero el COVID 19 no nos dió aviso para llegar tenemos que vivier con el ... por que no podemos entonces vivir con el Flash Player?

1) I don't know which desktop app you mean. Flash Player is only a browser extension,.

Flash Player is closing down and so is browser support.

2) There is no alternative.

3) Some web sites need it. Some flip books might need it. The people who made these web sites have had 3 years to change what they do, and if they still have not converted, expect that they will soon stop working forever. Plan accordingly.

Flash Player - you have downloaded it - is ONLY a browser extension. Nothing else. No app. No SWF player. Only a browser extension. So I don't know what you are talking about, but everything Flash is going away.
