Adobe updates Flash Player to resolve 79 security flaws

Whats the best way to update flash? All the download sites just link back to flash page and in Chrome of course it has its own flash built in so it refuses to download.

I get my Flash installers (full, not web shortcuts) from Filepuma.

If you are referring to Edge Animate CC, or something like that, I still don't know if Animate CC without the Edge is the same thing as that one is planned to replace Flash Pro. For that matter we will expect more features in time.

I used Edge Animate CC in the final term of my Web Design diploma (first 6 months of 2015).

lol there are a whole range of sites like this, filehorse, filehippo and now filepuma.

I have Filepuma and FileHorse tabs permanently open in one of my PM profiles. :)

Thanks for the alternatives.
FilePuma works fine.

I used FileHippo in the past until I foun that tey begin providing the 1MB downloaders instead of the 17MB installers...

I also provided the Adobe links to those installers in a previous, post just in case.

Interesting program.
That wasn't around when I had web development a few years back. :)
We were still playing around in Flash Pro CS6... Now I'm convinced of the html canvas and webgl possibilities.

I stopped using Filehippo when they unnecessarily enlarged their website, it wasn't so useful any more.

I have just bookmarked this FilePuma site. Didn't know it. So, is it safe then?

I haven't had any issues, but any site could be compromised by cyber-criminals.

I don't think that they repackage installers (like some other sites) but that doesn't mean that the installer doesn't have other stuff bundled with it.
As with all installers, you have to pay attention to the messages during the set up.

PS - I used to download Flash installer from here: Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe

But they are shutting it down. *******s.

God, I really hate those crappy web installers.

I've added official Adobe links to the full installers in post 10.
As long as those work, we're fine here.

Nah, they probably clean up the place to maintain less pages redirecting to the main downloads.
Wonder why it's called distribution3...
