I own a website for my business that used flashplayer. Now, I cannot access the website online or in the back end editor to view the text that was on the page. How can I access what was once on my website without flashplayer now?

    Hi@haileyr94692793 

    SHORT ANSWER:  You can't.  Flash Player is end of life. 

     

    LONG ANSWER: Contact your web developer immediately.  It's possible the content is stored remotely in online databases.  Hopefully an expert can recover the content and build a new site for you.

     

    In case you missed the widely publicized announcements about Flash Player's end of life,  I am posting them below.  NOTE:  All Flash content developers had 3-1/2 years to prepare for this. 

     

    Good luck!

    In addition to what OP posted:

     

    For enterprises dependent on Flash Player, please refer to the Enterprise end-of-life FAQ: 

     

    Enterprise Enablement may be an option until such time all browser’s remove support for Flash.  Technical details can be found in the Flash Player Admin Guide, pages 28-35):
