I saw that adobe will stop supporting flash after 31st december 2020. Can i still play flash games after this date?

If not how can i download it to run on my computer. I tried the usual method of downloading the .swf file. But after running it i get a blank screen and nothing else.

    No.  Flash Player & Flash Projector will stop working after Dec 31st.  Flash content creators had 3 years to prepare for this.   Fortunately, almost nobody uses Flash-based games and apps anymore, not since the browsers stopped supporting Flash plugins for security reasons. 

     

    Suggest you find other interests that don't rely on Flash Player.  You should have no trouble finding HTML5 and JavaScript games to play instead.

    Facebook games still use Flash Player. Their playing is probably over

    The end of Flash-based games...

    "Facebook announced it would end new game submissions for Web Games on Facebook by December 31, 2020 and Gameroom will be closed entirely on June 30, 2021."

    Ok. So flash projector is the offline version of flash right? And there is no way possible to play offline swf files after this date right?
