Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player

[RoWin7]

I play a few Flash puzzles online, some for years. In Waterfox, the titles are all on blank pages now. Can I play them with VLC? I've tried without success.
But one still plays in Chrome.
Why did they issue a new version just before closing down?

have u tried Geo VidFlash Player ?


I have opened flash games (ones on my hard drive) - via Geo or Gom Player, never had any issue.



I'm not having an issue in playing any flash files even after update. Can you pm me link, if its not permitted to be posted here, so that I could cross verify - if its an issue isolated to you ?

This was the article I read, which we all knew was coming :
End of Life (EOL) for Adobe Shockwave

I like puzzles that really challenge my intelligence. Oddly, 2 of the games I play came back after the update, but I expect it's temporary till their contracts run out:
Bubble Shooter | Puzzle Games HQ
Rowowor

Geo VidFlash Player is for files on your compute, but doesn't play within browsers. VLC already plays every file format, and it's open-source.

I tried both the games, I could play them directly on my browser (FF) - didn't need any media player to play them - just had to allow flash to be allowed in the page.

Yes, I said they returned after the update.

lol, I missed that part but can't u download the games ? I know there are softwares to download swf files, you can still play them - even if in case in future - game is taken off or blocked for some reason. I don't how their puzzles work though - may be they regularly update or don't - have no clue.

Puzzles are no different from other games. These aren't able to download; they play only on the site. It's OK. The only thing that's constant is change.

New Adobe Flash Player WHQL 32.0.0.293 is available. See first post for more details.

@Brink, do you have any idea why Adobe said they're killing it, then are continuing updates? End of Life (EOL) for Adobe Shockwave

 

[Brink]

Got me as well.

In addition, Firefox was going to drop its Flash Player plugin, the only one remaining, because it's been such a disaster for so many years. Half the problems (my own estimate) seen on Mozillazine were about Flash.

Publishing date on this one is September 10, 2019.

The Flash player is being discontinued. Flash the program, which is different has been renamed Animate CC. But Flash has fallen behind, and is unneeded. Along with all it's insecurities. All major browsers have/will have discontinues support by then.

Xfinity streaming to PC requires Flash. It will be interesting to see if they will be ready when all browsers no longer support it...

What's the diff between the player and the program?

Where does it say it will still get updates? It won't, and that is due to HTML5.

The player plays Flash content and the program creates it.

I'm amazed anyone still uses anything Flash. Heck, I've completely abandoned any and everything of Adobe's (other than using PDFs but with programs other than Adobe's).

The program is for animation and vector graphics, and such. It can be published in several formats including HTML5, WebGL, and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) animation. Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR (also being discontinued) are just methods to view the content, and is what is being discontinued.

With a modern browser, it shouldn't be an issue unless a favored site is slow to change, or does not change. A Guy

Well now that is interesting, isn't. It says: "Effective April 9, 2019, Adobe Shockwave will be discontinued and the Shockwave player for Windows will no longer be available for download."

It could have been a patch release for vulnerabilities or something.
