it looks all the files are unmodified, no nothing seems ported they're probably using a ruffle implementation

I guess the one to step in is Ruffle

I don't think Ruffle is HTML5. something about Web assembly and rust?
Bakingpotato

yeah, pretty much. they're even making new ones, too
Bakingpotato

true, I guess thats why Ruffle is so popular now

for sure. what with people making new flash stuff for the NG flash jams and all. thank goodness for Ruffle.

you can spoof URLs on the Ruffle desktop player, but not using the extension

Ruffle isn't a reverse engineered project, from what I can tell. it seems like they're following some spec, and comparing with the flash player, not decomping it

Ruffle has been getting pretty good. Lots of customization. I hope they can improve the performance at some point, and keep all the options.

There's a reason you don't see too many HTML gaming websites, it itsn't that great for games, as much as they would like it to be.

Absolutely. Get the authoring software, (I hear a certain animate archive has them) and post to NG like all the Flash forward jammers have Ruffle works wonders

that's true. I think a few flash games did a split swf thing for DRM purposes, and yeah. look where that got them... lost media ahoy for html5

while that might be true, its probably more true that they want to own the internet (see: nonstandard changes within chrome, forcibly making chromium dominant, the AMP debacle) and adobe SWF files aint google

now that is the real flaw of flash, and the most overlooked bit. all the while people (and adobe) were making login pages and security within flash (which is insane, you don't use an animation tool for those!) they should have focused on accessibility. Adobe promised the world when they bought macromedia and instead did nothing.

and then adobe spit on all of it. what a waste, and its all on adobe.

nah, HTML5 was and still isn't good enough for a straight conversion, as years of flash ""alternatives"" have shown us.

less rose tinted glasses and more the insanity of people entrusting logins and security to flash player to start with, or even adobe for adding that in. Yknow. if it was riddled with bugs and all that, you might avoid such a thing, for say, a banking page. Macromedia designed flash to be a web based animation system, not a full web stack. The very fact that these things were attempted is insane enough, and whats worse is the people who were surprised when it came crashing down.

all this talk about security and flash's being bad at it, and you forget what flash really was for. It wasn't for blaring ads (you can do that without flash) and it wasn't for secure logins anyone who did use it for those was a money maker or a madman.

>adobe didn't want to pay for rewrites or bugfixes yeah, its a wonder they ever bought it to start with, then

you don't just buy someone's entire workflow and then not fix any of it. not at least, if you intend for people to believe you when you say you're the future.
