This is really nice! I made a super complex one a long time ago in undergrad Actionscript 3 / Flash... good times. Can't even run that anymore.
I miss AS3. Even 10 years later Javascript barely scratches what AS3 could do.
- noduerme 4y agoSame here. I have so much great AS3 code that I can't even run for myself anymore. I used to run my own billing app that I wrote in AS3 for generating highly custom invoice templates. Even after I shut it down I still used it locally until Adobe destroyed Flash Player.
- steffenabel 4y agoThere was a pretty simple way to build a chromium based app with electron that allows you to run old flash application. I built this a few years ago for some customers in my old company because we had a flash backend which we couldn't port to js with reasonable effort. A quick Google research shows that chromium disabled flash a while ago but you should still be able to use an older version in electron projects. Didn't test it but could be worth a shot.
- lioeters 4y agoThere's a Chrome extension for a Flash player, so it may be possible to bundle it and enable by default in an Electron app.
- jwong_ 4y agoAS3 is where I first dove into another’s codebase - modding games was wild back then!

- notpushkin 4y agoIt might, but it's hit or miss for AS3. Hopefully it gets better over time!
- tiborsaas 4y ago> barely scratches I guess you are referring to Flash as a whole IDE, not the language itself.
