Unfortunate timing for the devs (Score: 3, Insightful) by lmariachi@pipedot.org on 2015-02-19 09:12 (#3D1A) Just as SWF is being dropped left and right. Like releasing an open alternative to RealPlayer in 2009.I reckon there will be legacy Flash games and doodads floating around for a while yet, but it's in its autumn for sure.

They worked well enough. Everynow and then there was an artifact. I wouldn't be surprised if shumway didn't have similar issues. Reverse engineering the format and implementing action script with all of its versions and variants isn't trivial.
