Problems with Adobe Flash Player on website

(1/1)

Gruve5:
I have used Adobe Flash Player on the website I created for our local community.  Up until a month or so ago, it worked flawless.  Now, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I still use Wunderground's Rapid Fire on the main page showing weather stats and that, along with the radar on the lower left, works sometimes and others not. The page is designed to refresh every 5 minutes and sometimes the stats are showing under the webcam and sometimes they aren't.  Just looking for some guidance on whether flash needs to be updated or if there is something else that started messing things up when Wunderground started changing things around.. Here's the site.

--- Quote ---Flash Player is dead. Its time has passed. It's buggy. It crashes a lot. It requires constant security updates. It doesn't work on most mobile devices. It's a fossil, left over from the era of closed standards and unilateral corporate control of web technology. Websites that rely on Flash present a completely inconsistent (and often unusable) experience for fast-growing percentage of the users who don't use a desktop browser. It introduces some scary security and privacy issues by way of Flash cookies.

Flash will disappear permanently next year. You may want to learn about HTML5, etc.

Gruve5:
Am I able to convert the site from the flash to HTML5 and have things work the same? And if so, how would you recommend going about doing it.  Thank You
