Chrome Flash Bug

[Mathew Mii]

Before you tell me that there is a sticky thread, which I am aware of, that fix no longer works for me. The flag regarding flash player no longer exists and flash is set up to allow it to work on all sites. What should be done to fix it now-a-days?

This is not a bug, this is intentional behavior as part of Google's plan to kill off Flash by 2020. You're correct in saying that as of Chrome 61, the contents of the sticky no longer apply. No current known workaround.

I did read about that somewhere. I wonder what Gaia will do about the animated items?

Probably rework them (maybe rename too, but that's a lot of hassle) so you can use the static poses normally. (currently they count as "animated" )

Dang... Would switching to java be a possibility?

No. That would be significantly worse, and the major browsers have already completely eliminated support for the Java plugin.

Ohh...
So what could be done?

Ohh...
So what could be done?

There are options, HTML5, APNG, animated SVG, etc. but they all have some kind of issue with them as a replacement. HTML5 would bloat the file sizes of some animations, APNG would bloat the file sizes of some avatars and cannot be used to effectively create "randomized" animations, SVG animation isn't very well-supported....

RiP Newgrounds.

Most of the Newgrounds games will be made in Unity though, it has been a trend for a while. It won't go down that easily.

That's good. And I am assuming that the animations can go onto Youtube?

That I do not know for certain, but a lot of the old Flash movies are already in Youtube.
