>(and as an extension, all of the websites dedicated to storing old flashes for nostalgia) - and that is a huge loss because of the sheer amount of content held there.

we can still use old software to view these old SWFs.

the free GNU gnash plays them all.

First, for the "old software" - it will work up to a point, as time goes we may need to build new tools to emulate Flash and such simply because of how old it will have grown.

But it sounds like Gnash may be a solution to this - I didn't know about that piece of software.
