Adobe Flash is dead. Long live Adobe Flash!

Hope everyone is staying safe. Wanted to give you an update in case you’ve been wondering how the “end of life” for Adobe Flash affects the software I create and that is still available for sale. For those who don’t know, as of January 12th Adobe, Windows and all web browsers have disabled Flash with a “kill code” that renders all .swf files unplayable in updated Flash players.

Long story short, I’ve started including a standalone Flash player of the same vintage as the 2003 compiler I use to make the software. It’s unaffected by the “kill code” and still runs my software just fine. No guarantee it will work on anything made with Flash software of a newer vintage, but it runs all of mine with no problem.

If you have previously purchased software from me and would like the player, please contact me at jgwicker at gmail dot com and I will make it available for you.

I am also in the process of making all my Etsy software also available on eBay in physical form, shipped on a thumb drive that includes the Flash player.

Thanks as always!
