So i've been using Flash CS5 for the past 8+ years on my laptop. Bought it free and clear.. was hoping to use this version for as long as possible. Unfortunately my laptop died and have recently purchased a new iMac - Catalina Version 10.15. I knew Flash 5 wasn't going to be compatable with this new operating system and was wondering what could be done?

    As Test_Screen_Name indicates, Adobe Animate is the successor to Flash Authoring, however, Flash Player is going to be end-of-lifed at the end of 2020, so it's best to move to newer technologies.


    See https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/ for more information.

    If you want the successor to Flash you need to subscribe to Adobe Animate. However, if you’re making SWF I recommend you give up now. Flash Player is going away very soon and you need an alternative.
