Short, practical note referencing the earlier posts by , , and : building a new image slider in Flash is not a safe or reliable choice today. Adobe ended support for Flash Player on December 31, 2020, and major browser vendors removed or block Flash, so a Flash-based slider will fail for most modern visitors. ()

The mobile/tablet problem mentioned by is exactly why Flash fell out of favor: Apple never supported Flash on iOS because of performance, battery and security concerns, and mobile browsers broadly moved toward HTML5-based solutions. For legacy Flash content only, archival/emulation routes exist, but they are not suitable for production sites. (macrumors.com)

Modern, compatible alternatives:

  • Use an HTML/CSS/JS slider (touch-friendly, accessible, responsive). Libraries such as Swiper are built for mobile touch and performance; if a jQuery stack is already in place, Slick or OwlCarousel can work. For very simple needs a CSS-only slider is possible. Minimal Swiper example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/swiper/swiper-bundle.min.css">

<div class="swiper">
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide"><img src="slide1.jpg" alt="Slide 1"></div>
    <div class="swiper-slide"><img src="slide2.jpg" alt="Slide 2"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="swiper-pagination"></div>
  <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div>
  <div class="swiper-button-next"></div>
</div>

<script src="https://unpkg.com/swiper/swiper-bundle.min.js"></script>
<script>
  new Swiper('.swiper', { loop: true, pagination: { el: '.swiper-pagination' }, navigation: { nextEl: '.swiper-button-next', prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev' }, lazy: true });
</script>

For performance and accessibility, serve responsive images with <picture>/srcset, include meaningful alt text, avoid forced autoplay, provide keyboard controls and follow the WAI-ARIA carousel guidance. For historical Flash content that must be preserved, emulators/archives such as Ruffle and Flashpoint can be used for research or offline playback — but migration to modern formats is the recommended long-term path.
