Ruffle is an open-source Adobe Flash Player emulator written in Rust, targeting desktop and the web via WebAssembly. It supports ActionScript 1, 2, and 3 and ships as desktop apps, browser extensions, and a web player.

Use cases

  • play old flash games and animations in the browser
  • run swf files on modern operating systems without flash player
  • restore flash content on a website after flash eol
  • emulate actionscript 3 content safely
  • embed a flash player replacement via npm package

When to choose

  • you need to run or preserve legacy Flash/SWF content
  • you want a safe, open-source alternative to Adobe Flash Player
  • you need a player that works across desktop, web, and browser extensions

When to avoid

  • you need 100% compatibility with complex ActionScript 3 content, as support is still incomplete
  • you need to author new Flash content rather than play existing SWF files
