Flash and AS3 was so much fun to work in. I completely understand why the industry moved away from it but even today we have yet to fully catch up to all the media animation and programmatic features it provided all in one. RIP.

I still have a hobby website with an AS flash animation on it that I don’t have the heart to get rid of. It was so cool.

Have you tried porting it to Haxe? It's what I found whose selling point was "programming for those that know AS3"

Thanks, I will look into that

You could use something like Ruffle. Newgrounds also uses it to allow people to play flash games.

That's awesome.

But I'm picturing you keeping a retro computer to load it on and enjoy it.

Starfield has a bunch of AS3 and Flash files. I've been hacking it all week.

And, uh, I use vanilla JavaScript with Typescript checking via JSDocs.
