![]() ![]() 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.

If this is accurate can someone get Firefox to name things correctly, AND if article is accurate let this be a warning to others that they NOT use ASP, but as needed rely on AFP. ![]() My Firefox is working, but this confusion of calling things by their proper (or at least a unique name) seems crazy to me. Mozilla Firefox users should note that the presence of the “Shockwave Flash” plugin listed in the Firefox Add-ons section denotes an installation of Adobe Flash Player plugin - not Adobe Shockwave Player. ![]() According to this security alert web article ASP is far less secure than AFP which itself isn't great.
