Flash installer

[TyWahn]

My last Mid 2008 iMac has an Adobe Flash installer built in into System Preferences. My new 2017 iMac does not. Does anybody know how to get it back?

for the past couple of years, I've been using Chrome instead of Adobe's Flash.

The flash installer is not "built into" System Prefs.

At some point during the old iMac's history you installed flash, which puts a pref pane into System Prefs.

The new iMacs do not come with flash pre-installed.
Many folks will advise against flash, but others still need it for some reason or other.

The link that follows will always download the latest available version of flash from Adobe:
https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

It will come in as a dmg file, double-click to open, then double-click the installer.
When done, the flash preferences should be installed.

I would not trust Macromedia - go direct to adobe. Any 3rd party download may be contaminated.

Macromedia originally wrote flash and was bought by Adobe years ago. This is an official Adobe website.
