A Final Breath of Plee for the Life of Flash [on (unofficial) behalf of Creators and those related]

[JAC11]

I speak to you as (hopefully) a fellow historian, an artist, and a storyteller, about Flash and the hidden gems on the brink of being spirited away.

I understand perhaps your reasoning behind why you must have Adobe Flash be no more, but surely there's a way that Flash can be saved for future generations? Such as making a Flash Player (if there's not one already), so people (of new and old) can view people's stories, programs, and such? I know that people can convert it from flash to the new stuff that your using and such, but sadly there's people that are no longer around to do so. For better or for worse you don't have to have it where people can still make Flash-related stuff, just the ability to run them.

I ask, because I do like to think of myself as having a historian side of me, and just watching all the fantasic stories and very helpful programs die is heartwrenching. If I recall correctly I've heard some important programs that use Flash are programs that help with medical related stuff and even educational programs.

If Flash-related data was to not be able to be accessed, all that knowledge, stories, and anything that would be helpful, would be lost, and that is against my very nature. A person who works their LIFE to bring just ONE THING into being (their magnum opus or quite possibly even their last work), only for it to be lost to the sands of time, is a sad matter indeed.

I feel emotion, knowing that this is happening, and I just can't sit by and do nothing on the matter (especially again). So I beseech you, as hopefully a fellow historian and a person dedicated to life itself, to create the means (if not already created) to allow people to access that knowledge, history, and story.

If you wish not to and wish for these stories to drift off to never ending sleep, then I ask on behalf of Flash, as if the final will and testament, to hear some of the tales of this dying fellow, known as Flash to you, so that you may know what's to be lost eternally. They may not be the best, but I hope they touch your heart as they have touched mine and hopefully many others:

Again I implore you to reconsider your desision of allowing those manifestations to die out, to avoid them becoming a wisp of smoke of a once bright flame, never to shine again.

This is a user-to-user forum, not a direct pipeline to Adobe.

You're missing the bigger picture.  Adobe didn't kill Flash.  Flash was killed by Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Mozilla and others for security reasons.  Adobe didn't have much say in the matter. 

Everyone had 3 years advance notice that this was coming.  If Flash content creators were so eager to save their work, they would have done it by now.  So you need to ask THEM why they did not move their content to proven technologies like HTML5 & JavaScript that don't require special players.
