V1 [b]As of March 31, 2021, uploading flash files is no longer possible.[/b] See forum #183397 for details.

This tag is for games, [[music video]]s, and [[animated|animations]] created using Adobe Flash.

While Flash enjoyed success from the late 1990s to the late 2000s (especially because of the failure of the Java platform in the web), it eventually declined as JavaScript and other browser-independent platforms like HTML5 and WebGL matured. Adobe, recognizing that Flash lost its relevance over time, announced in 2017 that in-browser Flash plugins would no longer be supported after December 2020; all major browsers permanently removed Flash support by the end of January 2021.

Ruffle.js, part of "the Ruffle Project":[https://ruffle.rs], is open-source software that uses "WebAssembly":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAssembly] to emulate Flash in modern browsers. The good news is that Ruffle.js is already integrated into Danbooru and will automatically be used to load all Flash posts; the bad news is that the Ruffle emulator [b]is still in an alpha state[/b] and it's less likely to work with files that are newer and/or more complex. See [[ruffle compatible]] for posts that have been manually confirmed to function with the version of Ruffle.js that Danbooru is using.
