Please see these two threads for details directly from Google.  Flash Player is not being "phased out" but instead will have a "click to play" interaction on a per domain basis.

Thanks Chris for the reply.

Yes, as per google blog, flash player is not being "phased out" yet, while, they are providing support to "Whitelist" where 10 sites are getting support for 1 year.

What after one year?

How should we have to take this? We have our site,fully developed on flash and hundreds of users are still using it everyday. Do we need to start convert in to HTML-5 ( which is really big decision for all of us) or should we have to consider that they will not "Phase out completely" in the future and flash websites will run smoothly with "Click to play" option?

Thanks in advance.
