How to Play a Flash File Without Adobe Flash Player
I bought a used college biology textbook that has a CD in an attached pouch on the back cover. The CD contains a lot of files that are in Flash format (quizzes, activities, videos, investigations, graphs, flash cards, interviews, etc.). However, I can't play those files, because Adobe's Flash Player is now gone and I don't want to reinstall it, as everyone says that it is a source of worms, viruses, trojan horses, etc.
So, after a little investigating on the internet, I found what seems to be an alternate program for playing Flash files: It's called 'Ruffle," and is supposed to be relatively free from the above-mentioned malware. I'm not sure if it really is what I need or not, though, so that is my first question. If not, would someone kindly recommend another program that would safely play Flash files?
Second, when I tried to play some of those Flash files on the disc, I got the message "Adobe Flash Player is no longer supported." Dead end, cannot play the file. So, (second question) could someone please tell me what I need to do, in order to play these Flash files on the disc?
Please know that I am not real tech-savvy, so any offered explanation needs to be in a 'hand-held,' step-by-step format, free of all techy jargon and abbreviations.
All help would be greatly appreciated!
