Adobe wants users to uninstall Flash Player

Adobe wants users to uninstall Flash Player by the end of the year

Does this mean that Flash will be removed from quickpet? :wink:

It might depend on whether or not any of the browsers continue to support it after Adobe's EOL date for Flash in December. There's still a lot of Flash content out there that's probably not going to disappear by New Year's. :)

Does Adobe still distribute stand-alone player binaries for Flash? Someone might want to archive the last versions for anyone on the forum who wants them.

(edit: Yes, I did get the joke.)

@Makoto - I have the flash projector packages for version 11.2 (last 32bit one) & version 27.0 (4th 64bit one). I can play flash games/videos with them. The licences are in the packages - see 2 posts down for links.

Thanks. Now, all we need to do is find a more permanent archive. :)

If would be very nice if they published the source code so that folks could take it and remove the bugs to produce a good package that works for nearly everyone.
What I expect is not that.
