Comment on The demise of Flash didn't bring any big HTML5/JS equivalent for watching animations; fast internet and better video compression made those types of animations become raster videos as well

    I’ll check that out. I thought that a .fla is the project file, and .swf would be the game.

      ah you’re right, ruffle documentation isn’t clear if it can open fla file instead of the compiled

  You can find Adobe Flash Player still and just run the .FLA through it. No conversion needed unless you wanted to out it back on a website.

    Ultra bad advice, flash player was installed at system level and it opens a huge security gap on the system (although I think it would not install at all in modern systems)

    Plus when it calls the adobe servers, it downloads the “final” update which automatically disables/uninstalls it
