I’ve downloaded Adobe Flash Player Projector, which enables me play Flash content on my computer (by entering the URL where the SWF file is located, or browsing to a SWF file on my computer). So what happens if you need to view a SWF after January 12? On January 12, 2021, Adobe will block Flash content from running Flash Player. If you’ve read the full announcement from Adobe, you know that although support for Flash ends after today (December 31, 2020), another important date is just around the corner. In either case, having the ‘old’ module gives me a better idea of my clients’ perspective.Īnd in the case of one client, who didn’t have any of the original graphics or build files for their Flash module, I relied heavily on the SWF file (which only played in IE11) as a model for rebuilding complicated graphics and arcade-style learning games. Sure, some clients may want to update some content or graphics, while others want a complete overhaul. This is a concern for me, because when I’m working on updating or rebuilding modules, I like to take a look at what was done in the past as part of my analysis. So what do you do when a client asks you to take a look at a module, but you can’t find a browser to view it on?
While this work has kept me quite busy this year, I know that there is still old Flash content out there that has yet to be converted. If you are working on converting or rebuilding Flash e-learning modules, then you know that today, December 31, 2020, is the end of life for support for Adobe Flash Player.
