End of Flash

Jul 26, 2017

Just curious, what is Articulate's long term plan for the upcoming demise of Flash in 2020? I'm assuming the Flash export option will be going away soon. Just curious if you've discussed software changes for this yet and where programs like Storyline are headed.

Hi there Bob!

We're pretty excited about this, and we've started to shift towards HTML5, as well. Take a look at Storyline 3 and Articulate 360 --you'll see a heavy emphasis on HTML5 in the new features!

Three years is still a bit in the future, and a lot can happen in that time! 😉

I don't have anything official to share today (or probably for a bit!). As soon as we can, I promise we'll keep folks posted with more information, updates, and any specifics related to Articulate and HTML5.

Hi Bob,

Great news for you today - Storyline 3 is officially Flash-free! You'll now see an HTML5 preview in the player properties windows. It no longer relies on Flash. And that means Storyline 3 is officially Flash-free. You can still publish Flash output, but the Flash Player isn’t required to use Storyline 3. Learn more.

The same is true for Storyline 360 as of Update 32, and you can read more about it here.
