Most browsers (perhaps all) will stop supporting Flash at that time.

HTML5 largely got rid of the need for Flash and the Adobe Flash authoring tool (now "Animate" ) has been able to publish animations as HTML for a few years now.

So if you're looking for something to replace it as a reader? There is no longer a need.

If you're looking to replace the authoring tool (for creating such content), Adobe retains a toolset for such content creation.
