FLASH, HTML5 AND OPEN WEB STANDARDS
http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2015/11/flash-html5-and-open-web-
standards.html
Adobe has a history of pioneering and advancing industry standards. We
embrace standards and, where none exist, we create them.
Flash has played a leading role in bringing new capabilities to the web. From
audio and animation, to interactivity and video, Flash has helped push the
web forward.
Today, open standards like HTML5 have matured and provide many of the
capabilities that Flash ushered in. Our customers have clearly communicated
that they would like our creative applications to evolve to support multiple
standards and we are committed to doing that. So today we are announcing
Animate CC, previously Flash Professional CC, which will be Adobe’s premier
web animation tool for developing HTML5 content while continuing to support
the creation of Flash content. Adobe Animate CC will be available in early
2016. In addition, Adobe will release an HTML5 video player for desktop
browsers, which will complement Adobe’s support for HTML5 on mobile.

While standards like HTML5 will be the web platform of the future across all
devices, Flash continues to be used in key categories like web gaming and
premium video, where new standards have yet to fully mature. Moving forward,
Adobe is committed to working with industry partners, as we have with
Microsoft and Google, to help ensure the ongoing compatibility and security
of Flash content. In that spirit, today we are announcing that we are working
together with Facebook to help ensure Flash gaming content on Facebook
continues to run reliably and securely. As part of this cooperation, Facebook
will report security information that helps Adobe improve the Flash Player.
Looking ahead, we encourage content creators to build with new web standards
and will continue to focus on providing the best tools and services for
designers and developers to create amazing content for the web.
