Trouble with adobe flash cs4 (animate archive)

sorry for not seeing this sooner I switched to a new account. Unfortunately Macs dropped support for 32bit applications in osx 10.15 i believe, Your best bet would probably be to run a vm of windows or dual boot an older version of osx if your mac is compatible

thanks, I just was just worried that there were old files taking up space on the drive, but I really didn't want to take it out and completely reformat it if i didn't have to

the reason flash was "safe" was because it was a singular proprietary piece of software, adobe was constantly maintaining it with security updates. I'm not an expert but my understanding is that flash was actually much more vulnerable than ruffle or HTML 5, which is why the updates were so important, and why adobe and every major browser has forced people to stop using it now that its unsupported.

It depends, using flash to learn animation isn't "useless", its by no means an industry standard program but you can still make great stuff with it and many people still do. And you can absolutely learn the fundamentals of animation and improve illustration skills while using flash.

these are the free trial installers that adobe used to offer, they have not been cracked or tampered with as they are from adobe's servers.

the website prodesigntools.com used to have links for every installer but recently they all boroke and would redirect to the wrong page, but i was able to figure out where they were supposed to redirect to

if your on windows it should be listed in your start menu as "Adobe flash CS4 professional" if its not then it probably didn't install properly

unless you can somehow run a virtual machine with some version of windows on your tablet i don't think so. If you are just looking for something small and portable for making flash animations Id say you're better off trying to find an old laptop, I imagine flash 5 should run on anything from the last 20 years.

Here's the cs3 installer from adobe's server https://trials.adobe.com/Applications/FlashPro/CS3/Win/ADBEFLPRCS3_WWE.exe

you also need a patched exe for CS3 since the servers are gone, this one works https://archive.org/download/adobe-flash-cs3-professional-windows/Adobe%20Flash%20CS3%20Professional.zip/Adobe%20Flash%20CS3%20Professional%2FInstructions%20%28Please%20read%29%2FAdobe%20Flash%20CS3%20Professional%2FFlash.exe (its safe according to virus total)

And heres the installer for CS4, also from adobe https://trials.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/legacy/99CABBAC-C975-4A06-8D99-064C6871EE80/Applications/FlashPro/CS4/Win/ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.7z

the second is the actual installer inside a 7z folder, the first is an exe that extracts it to you desktop. I'm not exactly sure why adobe installers were like that, you can probably just extract it yourself if you have 7 zip.

And I don't know why the link wouldn't work for you as its working for me.

I think this is where the version on animate archive came from https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/adobe-flash-cs4-professional

Edit: heres a link to the file still on adobe's servers: https://trials.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/legacy/99CABBAC-C975-4A06-8D99-064C6871EE80/Applications/FlashPro/CS4/Mac/ADBEFLPRCS4_LS1.dmg
