Can't believe they're still updating it.

I do still miss the ease of use fo flash though.

Wish someone would make something this simple outputting web standards.

Flash let a whole bunch of creative people make interactive experiments and websites that they just don't have the technical skills to do now you need to use a more formal setup.

Flash sucked for many reasons, but for this it was excellent and hasn't been replaced.

Adobe Animate is basically a rebranded version of Flash, and it can export html5. I don't know how complete/compatible the export option is, but I know we've used it at my company for a small project.

Flash and Shockwave are two different things. Flash is still around as Animate.
