Adobe Flash / Flash Player (Stopped working, any solutions?)
Yush, i just noticed then Adobe Flash / Player stopped working because, Adobe stop support this & removed this app & support my own computer without any right and permission. I have never wanted to delete this, even although there has been a notice to that effect then adobe get unsupported.

I am using Adobe Flash Player for over 10 years & still I use this app almost every day. I am dependent on the Functioning of the Flash player, and I can not live without this. I could uninstall any other app or support but, Flash is the only app I want to keep.

I have over 100k flash files (*.fla & *.swf) on my computer that are made oldier CS5 software & issue with this is that & also then i'cant mirage my flash files into other format so, i could't keep working with those files & i need them & i need for those working local Flash Player.

Issue with this is that then i don't want to use "video" -formats or use no function-supporting or audio-supporting format. There is only *.exe format in CS5 but, those also use flash player so, i can't do anyting with that CS5 software.

I don’t own an Adobe user account & i don't want to create this to ask this, so I can’t ask this think in Adobe support but, because there in steam is huge community so, i like to ask there if there is any other user how want to keep & use Flash so, i could figure this issue to solute this issue to make or get Flash Player again working.

So my question is more about this or just this one, do you have any solutions or have you figured out how to play Flash (* .swf) format yet or found a replacement that doesn't cost anything?

I do not accept other answers or reasons to stop using Flash or Flash Player.

Use the standalone flash player projector for .swf files.

-Yes but, i use another Flash Player that use Adobe plug or someshort player plug, that software call "EOLSOFT Flash Movie Player", witch have or is better flash player that default Adobe Flash Player is but, sadly this stop working because of Adobe Flash Player support.

I just try to ask EOLSOFT support to make another update to make this app working again so, i could use better flash player that adobe have. :3

If you guys want to bypass Flash's killswitch:

1. Create 'mms.cfg' in the two directories if they don't exist:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg

Path for chrome

Even though that page is still up, the links on it are dead.
some sites have switched over tbh.

If you can't open them use the converter to convert flash files to stuff like .swf files or whatever other version is playable.

Lol, i just got banned in Adobe forum just because, i post this there.

Im sure then someone else overwrite this to make possible to use flash player again in web browser, sooner or later someone else figure out how to do this & show us, even if Adobe not help or support anybody anymore this.

-I try this but, this din't help me so far & i don't have Google Chrome so, i can't add those file there or info. I use Firefox otherwise but, i think this adobe support need to add IE to make flash working with other softwares.

-The issue could be that then Adobe Flash Unistaller was already removed Flash components, even if you change time or day, it's not install Flash components back or change setuping if you're not manually change those.
