In reply to Thomas Benner.

When people talk about the Flash, it is the Flash file format using plugin/player in the browser.

Adobe Flash software for creating Flash animations is replaced by Adobe Animate. It still can create animations, but it no longer produces only Flash files, it can create HTML5 instead. And that is not the same as Flash.

Adobe has purposely renamed the animation software to start the process of killing Flash format and Flash player. Produced HTML5 has nothing to do with Flash format. Adobe is killing Flash format, not the Animate software.
