Adobe Flash Player No Longer Supported

Good afternoon LMS Community! I am just wondering if anyone has experienced the issue of courses no longer functioning in the LMS due to Adobe Flash Player no longer being supported. I am aware that Adobe discontinued their support of Flash Player sometime ago, however, this has not become an issue in my LMS until recently. Please share best practices on steps that were taken to resolve this issue within your LMS and/or if you know how to reconfigure a SCORM package so that it no longer needs Adobe Flash Player without ruining the quality of the course package. Thank you in advance! - Kaila

Hi Kaila, flash's end of life was Jan 1st, 2021. We had to republish every module to HTML5 before that date and publish all new modules in HTML5. You are lucky you are only seeing issues now, but everything will have to be republished to HTML5. It is a publishing option in your authoring tool.

I'm not aware that you can - but then again we converted to HTML5 several years ago in preparation for SWF flies no longer being supported. If you have your source files, you could republish as HTML5. If not, there's a video from Paul Wilson on using the software simulation: Convert Flash Courses to HTML5 Without the Source Files - eLearning (adobe.com) Hopefully someone else has some way to convert or use JavaScript to accomplish this. Good luck!
