Just out of interest, to follow on from my previous posts, does anyone have any experience, good or bad of "Ruffle".
It is a flash emulator which enables content previously viewed in Adobe Flash to be viewed through browser add ons/extensions.
In past years there has been some negative comments on the web about vulnerability and security.

Now it is available from the Chrome Web Store, Mozilla & Microsoft for their respective browsers (Chrome, Firefox & Edge)
Does that suggest it now has some credibility and has overcome any flaws?

Thanks for that Joe and the tutorial. I will check out the panel slider - the User Manual also covers it. Also I Included two smaller java script galleries when I set up the site so can refresh my memory on how I set them up - so that is also an option for the main gallery.

Browsers no longer support Flash. The alternative even back in X6 days was to use a javascript gallery or a panel slider. The panel slider is the better option.

When I set up my website I included a Gallery of 70 Photos which used Adobe Flash player. Since Adobe stopped supporting Flash I uninstalled it (like many other users). I am wondering if it is worth installing an alternative flash player for myself and putting a note on the site about using alternatives. Does anyone know of a safe alternative flash player? Is there actually such a thing as a safe flash player!?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
