The flash target isn't difficult to continue supporting, but maybe you have noticed that the latest added new features (like shadows) weren't added to flash. I'll still keep it in CopperCube for a bit of time (a surprising amount of people still use flash, not sure why), but it probably won't get any of the new features at least.

Hi Guys,
While I agree Flash has reached end of life, had they brought out Molehill earlier, and not tried the monetization of advanced features of the player to support it (REALLY dumb move on their part) that pretty much was the death of flash as well as Mac not supporting it. But, I think Niko is smart to keep it going, for many corporations and government agencies and DoD in the US and abroad still use older versions of IE9 or 11, but keep their flash players relatively up to date. so those don't have adequate support for WebGL, although at least the USAF is doing a massive migration to Win 10, including loading Chrome as an alternative browser as well as edge and IE11 so that is promising, but that only speaks to the USAF and probably the rest of DoD soon. But that does raise the question about WebGL 2.0 While I understand its just draft, it add some features to the WebGL standard which might be helpful, so I can agree with not adding new feature to the flash 3D support, but I hope that all new features of WebGL are supported to the max extent possible, and it really is not posted as to what level of the WebGL standard CC 5.7.1 actually generates.
