@humbird0 The hail mary for #Adobe was to publish the existing binary-tag based #SWF format under the "Open Screen Project". XML FLA files helped for interoperating with #Flash Pro / #AdobeAnimate but #FlashPlayer never took FLA files. Everything got compiled to SWF before you distributed it and that's what #Unity did.

#FlashPlayer had #Stage3D for a graphics API and #Alchemy to do cross-compilation. Adobe decided that you couldn't use both unless you paid up. They added #DRM to Flash to enforce this: #SWF files could not use both APIs unless they had an #Adobe cert in them identifying which revshare was being paid.

This was years after #SteveJobs wrote his famous open letter, BTW. Flash was STILL GOING STRONG despite not being on iPhone! And using Flash as a delivery mechanism for 3D games was a growth play.
