    How to preview an old Flash site

    How to preview an old Flash site

    CHALLENGE: I want to preview flash content, but my browser doesn’t support it

    SOLUTION: Use the Flash Player projector plugin

    Flash was a type of technology popular in the mid-2000s andused for browser games, animations, interactive tools and video steaming (.flv format). Flash required users to install a small plugin and was compatible with most browsers. The iPhone, released in 2007, did not support Flash due to security risks. The rise of HTML5 made Flash obsolete. Modern browsers didn’t need Flash anymore.

    In 2021, Adobe ended the support for the Flash Player plugin. Flash content, including audio and video, will no longer work in browsers. Does it mean you can’t view old flash websites?
