Making new movies (good ones) is how to accomplish it, but that's a LOT easier said than done for a multitude of reasons.
Aside from us having lives and responsibilities not on the internet, Flash is a dying medium and will be rendered obsolete as of sometime in 2020.
I've been tinkering around in Adobe Animate CC (what Adobe Flash is called now) and learning how to animate on an HTML5 canvas is extremely tricky. Just for starters, you can no longer create multiple "scenes" in a movie using HTML5...now you're forced to awkwardly pre-animate everything in "movie clips" and "graphics".
It seems like moderately simplistic things like my annoying sigs can be possible using this new method, but I shudder, quite frankly, at the thought of trying to create, say, a new ROTMK on an HTML5 canvas. Then again, I would never ever say that I was an expert at Flash, so perhaps I'm overlooking something.
