Flash Published as Executables

I have a large quantity of E-Learning content that was published as Executables. With the Adobe flash player EOL, will I lose the ability to use this content until it's converted to HTML5 or can I do an orderly conversion?

 

Is the Flash Player embedded in the Flash Executable that is published?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Assuming that your executables don't depend on a separate Flash Player being installed on the system (it's not clear what the content is, or how you published it), they should work, at least in the short-term.  You could always test them on a system without Flash installed to confirm.

     

    You do run the risk that future operating system changes might break something, at which point, there won't be any forthcoming patches to fix the issue.

     

    As a stop-gap, continuing to use the executables is a reasonable plan (assuming they bundle Flash support), but migrating to web standards will probably give you the most assurances around longevity.
