Hello all,

i have a desktop application that run some SWF Flash AS3 Animations. These animations "talk" with my applicaiton throught a txt file, so Swf display contents read from txt.

in these days i'm very worried about the Flash EOL. If "everything will not work", why CC Animate allow export in SWF format?

    SWF can also be used with webassembly if the program compiled support SWF

    Hi.

     

    The EOL is for the Flash Player plugin for browsers.

     

    The SWF format will continue to be supported for offline usage and for the Harman runtime.

    thanks for your reply. But for future installation of my software i will always need the flash installer. Will windows allow the run of the flash player setup?

    regards!
