   Thanks to efforts by volunteers Nosamu and bai0, the Internet Archive's flash emulation just jumped generations ahead.

   Mute/Unmute works. The screen resizes based on the actual animation's information. And for a certain group who will flip their lid:

   We can do multi-swf flash now!

   A pile of previously "broken" flashes will join the collection this week.

     @textfiles Thanks to all the vector graphics these animation look sharp on modern displays. Much better than the old 240p re-uploads on Youtube.

     @erickrouss I don't work in the way back department, but you're welcome to mail info at archive.org with a well-constructed explanation of what you're looking for and it will certainly go to the right team.

     Can you please make it so if you have Ruffle or Flash compatible browser, YouTube videos play in the original YouTube player if on a 2006-2009 page? HTML player on old YouTube just looks weird.
