Hi Folks!

No idea if this will be useful to any of us here at ILink but saw this
as a way to postpone the killing off of Adobe Flash at it's End of Life:

Good thought. What you don't allow to be updated can't be nuked.

It is really irritating when Adobe promoted it for so long as THE
solution for interactive video everything, so now that there's a bunch
of stuff entrenched in it with no replacement in sight, POOF. Hey Adobe idiots, it's not just for cute animations or playing cat videos!

My own solution has been to load the .SWF file into the standalone flash engine, then export it as a Windows executable. Voila, no more need for
flash. (I'm not even sure I have flash installed on the current system.)

And even if have a backup might cause a bunch of problems because not
located on the hard drive where expected, doesn't have the full links,
etc.

Thought as I recall they did say they were warming of pulling the plug
for over a decade. Which of course if I heard that after about three
times I'd go "I'll believe it when it happens". To me the problem is
Adobe pulling the plug with no replacement available. IMO bad enough to
get people to do a major upgrade, but they saying "we're pulling the
plug _and_ killing it off, do without for a while, or with a
competitor's product, then come back when we're ready". IMO a _major_ marketing error.

Running Linux on this end and not sure I can do that. Do have a few
.SWF files so tested. Wanted to open with Videos (Totem) but error says missing x-shockwave shock decoder, which it couldn't find. And I'll
append that with 'automatically'; probably out there, just not in the
usual repositories.
