Browser with flash support (with ActionScript 3 support)
The college's physics department has a virtual lab made with flash and i dont think they would be updating it. They just posted a link to puffin browser. It requires a a sign up with my credit card . NO WAY. Atleast with the mobile version , its no sign up but the experiments require a lot of dragging and droping and its made to be used with a mouse.
Just need a browser that just does this virtual lab activities. Had to do a presentation of it today and what i did was using scrcpy to mirror the puffin browser in my phone and do everything on my laptop. Its has quite a lot of bugs.
Need Urgent help.
Thank you in advance

Have you tried looking for an old bin version of chromium or chrome with flash support still present?
On the offchance that OP is running Ubuntu or one of its derivatives, here are the old versions of chromium. http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/chromium/
Go one directory up to find the codecs etc that go with chromium.
Thanks
If using any other distro he can convert a deb file to either an rpm or an arch package.
not yet , i will look into that , thanks
Could you open the lab in a modern Flash emulator like Ruffle?
Running an unmaintained plugin in an unmaintained browser sounds pretty dangerous.
Its doesn't work with actionscript 3
If you only used the browser on this single intranet site, the risks would surely be small.
I'm not sure about as3, but flash is and will be supported in Palemoon.

If all else fails, a non-buggy way of doing this would be installing window's xp in a vm, install flash in the vm
The intranet site shall be comforted by a familiar environment and let you in
I'd install android in a VM and install that browser on it. no scrcpy and you'll have keyboard and mouse, too.
No
Try Photon browser. You have to turn flash on (lightening bolt top right)
