Adobe animate cc no longer developed by Adobe?

[parinyak77494916]

Hi

My company wants to start a website base on Adobe Animate.

We've asked many vendors to build a web site for us.

They said that flash is not good option at all. And adobe animate is also not a good option for web site.

One of the vendors said that Adobe has stopped developing Adobe Animate 2 months ago!!

I understand the flash is bad for web site, and animate edge is no longer available.

But Adobe Animate just started 2 years ago, how can that be stopped?

Anyone please help answer if is it true that Adobe Animate will die soon?

Is it a bad idea to build a web site based on Adobe Animate? Is the near future, browsers would no long support flash/ adobe animate?

Please advise.

Thank you

Jin

A various amount of confusing information in your message!

Two months ago Adobe announced that Flash Player Plugin for browsers will be discontinued at the end of 2020.

Flash Player is now one of the formats that Adobe Animate can publish to. It can also publish to mobile on iOS and Android, to standalone applications for Mac and Windows, and to HTML 5 Canvas and WebGL 2D, that should work on mobile too.

Flash is not bad for websites, but more people want to make sure that mobile works, and Flash Plugin doesn't work on mobile.

So, you could use Adobe Animate to create HTML5 content instead. The end of 2020 deadline for Flash Player Plugin doesn't affect Adobe Animate, other than one of its publishing options won't be usable in 2021.
