Not only will support end, but it has been confirmed that Flash content will no longer be viewable due to Flash Player being blocked.

When the end of support for Flash Player was announced in 2017, there were voices expecting the emergence of tools and technologies that could easily convert Flash content. Unfortunately, it seems that such tools and technologies will not appear before the end of support.

At Human Science Co., Ltd., we have converted and recreated numerous Flash materials into formats that can be used continuously. There are several methods for conversion and recreation, but the three main ones that we primarily recommend are as follows:

Educational materials created with Flash often have complex movements and mechanisms. Instead of giving up on them, it is recommended to recreate them as closely as possible using Adobe Animate CC.

Training Company

Plan: Adobe Animate CC
Cost: 5-20 million yen per material
Number of materials: 150 materials (scheduled from 2012 to 2020)
Material content: Language, technology, etc.
Purpose of material use: Sales of e-learning courses for companies and individuals
• Adopted Animate CC to maintain the richness of animation expression and differentiate from other companies
• Adjusted the interface, such as the layout and operation buttons, to make it easier to learn on mobile devices

Flash Player will no longer be available, but there is no need to discard the Flash format materials that you have created.

Our company has been working on the conversion from Flash to HTML5 and video for several years, accumulating a wealth of knowledge and experience. Therefore, we are able to propose the best method according to your needs.

Of course, the duration and budget may vary depending on the content and specifications, but there is still a good chance that we can handle even cases where conversion has been given up. So please feel free to contact us.
