Q. What is Flash and why is it ending?
A. Flash is a multimedia software platform used for production of animations, web and desktop applications, mobile apps, games and more. In order to make room for bigger and better technologies, Adobe has given Flash Player an official end-of-life date of December 31, 2020. This means that any website, including Animal Jam, that uses Flash will have to move away from the Flash technology.
