Has someone suggested having the ability to upload multiple pictures at a time on the main site? As an artist, this would be a super convenient feature.
Hang on.. Removing the option of swfs?!? bloody hell, as a long time flash developer (My first version wasn't even owned by Adobe) I think that's bloody stupid. Sure, Adobe (which has a lot of faults as a company) have decided to discontinue it but so what? there are tons of Flash developers and artists out their still and on FA. For well over a year, most places have a little 'you need to agree to allow flash' to deal with any safety issues that come by nasty coders and stupid users without a halfway decent AV. You just announced you are using the sadly still lacking but doing pretty bloody good Open Ruffle engine, so that's fine, and now you decide to stop support for a lot of people and a lot of creative work why? cause you don't believe people should have options open to them?
Adding support like you have, is bloody little code for you, even with the various coding issues FA has (god, that fact I had to sign up with a second account just to access this forum due to total lack of integration is one of the more minor ones), but like I said, adding ruffle stuff is bloody easy and you had it.. and then for some reason you decide to remove the option and all the work for what? did some bloody thick idiots want to get rid of stuff for not being 'hip' and 'cool'? Because the .. well, far from original developers didn't want to carry it on? does that mean all the dos games, console games etc that still go strong, with new releases for Megadrives, C64s, Spectrums etc, should also go fuck themselves?
Any chance of someone doing an open post somewhere to address why the hell this seams like a good option? I mean.. why? just tell me why there is an benefit in screwing over a lot of creators? is it a security risk? nope. Is it a huge undertaking? a small bit for some flash developers right now but not much and none on your part..
I had enough problem with bigoted narrow minded previous owners of FA.. Do I have to have the same with the so-called new ones?
Yep. still have a long way to go, and there are other ones out their (I mostly use swf's offline anyway or via a custom or pre-setup player), but it is perfect for small animations, basic visual novels and the like so far. with it's support getting better and better.You realize ruffle is still in development, right?
I realise that but it will be in development probably for decades. Many emulators never are complete. If you only allowed swf uploads when Ruffle runs everything then uploads of swfs will never be allowed again. As someone still making Flash animations sometimes I just desire the option to upload them be restored so that I can upload them if I wish. It displaying a large warning that compatibility is not guaranteed and allowing user the choice to try is he wishes is not unreasonable in my opinion.You realize ruffle is still in development, right?
Not sure how retiring flash files is 'bigoted'.
Old insecure software; can't really blame them.

Oh and I didn't say retiring Flash (as you put it) was bigoted. I said the previous owners who I had problems with were. I don't like people who automatically assume bigotry.. that's how it starts and grows and you get people being stupid like not liking others for the colour of their hair or the pigment of their skin next... bad path.. don't like it..
also, if you want to remove all old unsecure software.. well, I kinda wonder what you are using to view the internet.. any web browser, by it's nature, is unsecure.. unless you REALLY meant 'insecure'.. no offense, English not your first language? no problem, some of my closet friends have English as a second language.

I can't tell your tone from your line so i'll take you as being friendly for now ^_^ (no offense) but I know a few creators who's stuff will be fine with ruffle.. Hell, I think my old jigsaw engine would work fine with the current state. If are suggesting it shouldn't be allowed cause it's currently in an alpha stage.. though it's bordering on Beta for AS2, then I see no reason to stop the option. just tell people when they upload to know it's not 100%. Hey, FA doesn't even give full support for the PNG format range yet (not that many people use APNGs) so.. I see no problem.

tell me about it. I've been coding since before my collage days, in a range of languages. Just installed Ruffle self hosting option on my person website (not decent coding cause it's an old thing I don't do too much work with) and works fine with everything, from interactive animations to games.Coding isn't that simple. That's all I will say on that.
