Hi Helen. I did try to download my artwork Flash files from VS when we were alerted last year, but it was not possible to do so. If they could have been downloaded as Flash files then I would have converted them to HTML5 files using Adobe Animate so they could have been shown online again on any modern browser.
If we can get access again online to our VS artwork Flash files then we can see if we can convert them as MP4 files using CloudCovert. However we need to try this asap as in December 2020, Adobe will no longer support the flash player plug-in. Google and Microsoft have also announced that they will disable the plug-in by default in their browsers by the end of 2020 as well.
