Default Adobe Flash being disabled

What will happen to Farm Town if Adobe Flash is phased out? I use Google Chrome so I was wondering if anyone knows about the other browsers are they going to do away with Adobe as well? My understanding is we need it to play Farm Town ......

We have just been notified of Google's intent to stop Adobe Flash Player in their browsers completely. As slashkey have always advocated that the best browser for their game is Google Chrome, is slashkey going to find a better system to work with than Adobe Falsh player. Is this going to affect the millions of players

Default Adobe Flash on Google Chrome

Not sure if I am putting this in the right place or not.

Hi everyone,

I have moved related posts into the same thread to keep them together.

The last we heard on this was Adobe had security issues and were working hard to plug the holes. If Chrome or any other browser decides to remove flash players from their browsers then it will likely take some considerable time to implement. If this happens with all browsers and it makes sense economically and there is still an engaged user base, the developers should have enough time to convert to other technologies like html5 or unity.

how can they remove flash? it is used for so many different places I just don;t understand why they would even consider ditching flash..if they do remove it from chrome we can still use IE or FF browsers right? or maybe it will be something we can download like we need to do for IE and FF instead of it being built in like chrome....

I just came across an article at a respected and reliable site. I know I can't link, but I'm not sure I can mention the name of the source, so I'll leave that out. But just extracting the basic information that I think applies to Google Chrome users, here's what they said:

HTML5 will become Chrome's default, but Flash Player will still be bundled with Chrome. If one goes to a site that requires Flash, a prompt will appear and give the option of allowing it.

Google will temporarily exempt ten sites that generate the most Flash usage. Facebook is one of the ten.

(paraphrased by me)

That is only for an additional year,then ALL of flash will be permanently disabled for chrome.Firefox will follow soon after.All I can say is...about darn time...flash sux,and always has.Good riddance.

I hope that you choose to go with HTML 5 as the standard for the conversion when it comes to that. My question is, can the developers convert the game without it meaning a total restart for us? Many of us have been playing for many years, it would be devastating to have to start over again. Also, if it is possible to set it up with HTML 5, would it then be freed up to move outside the Facebook platform, like to its own website? And have you ever thought about making this game into an iPhone or Android app? It literally would be THE best farming game on either system, Bar None!!
