Adobe Flash Player was by far one of the most popular and widely used flash players out on the market, but in December 2020, Adobe discontinued it. Due to this, browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge etc., no longer function with it. This leaves us to find some alternatives that can function just as well or even better. Below, we will look at four of the most popular Adobe Flash Player Alternatives people are using today.

The Adobe Open Screen Project is dedicated to driving consistent rich Internet experiences across televisions, personal computers, mobile devices, and consumer electronics. Adobe’s Open Screen Project is supported by technology leaders, including Adobe, ARM, Chunghwa Telecom, Cisco, Intel, LG Electronics Inc., Marvell, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Verizon Wireless, and leading content providers, including BBC, MTV Networks, and NBC Universal, who want to deliver rich Web and video experiences, live and on-demand across a variety of devices.
The Adobe Open Screen Project is working to enable a consistent runtime environment – taking advantage of Adobe® Flash® Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR™ — that will remove barriers for developers and designers as they publish content and applications across desktops and consumer devices, including phones, mobile internet devices (MIDs), and set top boxes. Adobe’s Open Screen Project will also address potential technology fragmentation by allowing the runtime technology to be updated seamlessly over the air on mobile devices. The consistent runtime environment will provide optimal performance across a variety of operating systems and devices, and ultimately provide the best experience to consumers.

Including a flash movie in a basic HTML page. Sounds easy enough, right? How about including a flash movie in HTML that is standards compliant AND works with the major browsers used on the web? If you’re like a lot of designers this probably yields frustration, as the markup for doing such can be a bit of a challenge.
I came across an article a few months ago written by the author of Dreamweaver MX Web Development, as I struggled with creating my own website. Drew McLellan provided much insight into the markup of Flash movies (or in my case, a navigation system I had developed) and led to what we’ll consider a coding theory: it works for me until I find a browser that disproves its functionality.

Just as The Buggles so famously said, “Video killed the radio star,” so too can it be said that web-based video has killed the static web page. Gone are the days of catching the attention of the overstimulated consumer with well-placed hypertext links, stimulating content, and cool graphics. From presidential candidates and college admission offices to Wall Street investors and the creators of the phenomenally popular YouTube, everyone is doing it. And if peer pressure works like it has since long before the short career of The Buggles (1977–1981), then web-based video is here to stay and will only continue to increase for entertainment, communication, and content delivery.
