hi, i wanna read ebook in .swf but it failed to load since adobe warning us about stopping flash content on the web.

This is quote from Adobe page:

Since Adobe no longer supports Flash Player after December 31, 2020 and blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems.

So what should I do so that I can read ebook in .swf format? Does Microsoft Store provide another plugin for edge to make load flash content?

Or should I use third party software?

Thanks.

    Is edge just not going to play videos right, so give up?

    If I have to play guess and go trying to download anything that claims it will play videos, then hope that edge will somehow figure out which one works, then I guess I need to re-install a browser that is self contained, like all the ones I've used before.

    I'm finding that playing videos makes my mouse cursor useless near the timeline because it flies all over the place when I try to hover near the timeline.

    I'm not technically proficient, so I need more help than a hot tip to check the internet for applications.

    For starters, how do I find out what broken program edge is using now to make my cursor jump around during videos?

    How do I tell edge to use a different one, or how do I update it? Please be specific.

    Thank you in advance, if such help is even possible.

    Hi dx25_2020

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    Flash is no longer supported on Windows devices, Apple Devices or Android Devices, there is no app available on the Microsoft Store, so you would need to use a 3rd party solution to be able to open flash content now . . .

    There are a few Flash Player Emulators available online like Ruffle, that would be the best option to be able to play a swf file . . .
