I remember hearing about some attempts to do this, I thought they had got fairly advanced. A quick search brings up a project called Smokescreen, which could play some flash. However, the project's website no longer exists. There's a github project - https://github.com/cesmoak/smokescreen https://github.com/cesmoak/smokescreen but the last commit was in 2011.
- demurgos 9y agoThanks for the link, it's definitely interesting. Unfortunately it seems that most of the open source Flash projects died out around 2011-2012. What I had in mind was more about converting the programs (SWF files) instead of fixing the VM. I know that there were some open source VMs, but were there some successful attempts at converting SWF files to a different format?
- toxican 9y agoI've seen a few solutions to Flash's death pop up yesterday and today..all dead github projects. My hope is that the official announcement from Adobe will reinvigorate those developers or inspire new ones to pick up the mantle on continue on.
