Hello,

that makes sense - but what will that mean for files created with Adobe Animate / Flash?​ Only if you know - no pressure :-)
When you export Animate files, the options are JPG, PNG and SWF formats.

Thank-you, Litsa

IN 2010, STEVE Jobs banished Adobe Flash from the iPhone. It was too insecure, Jobs wrote, too proprietary, too resource-intensive, too unaccommodating for a platform run by fingertips instead of mouse clicks. All of those gripes hold true. And now, Adobe itself has finally conceded.

The company announced Tuesday that it would “stop updating and distributing the Flash Player,” giving the end of 2020 as its end-of-life date. With that, the internet’s favorite punching bag deflates.

No one should shed a tear for Flash’s coming disappearance. The web will be safer, faster, smoother without it. But between now and 2020, the internet does need to figure out how to deal with the remains.

Can anyone pronounce 'HTML5' ?
