Flash export buttons

vsek

I am not seeing in my searching a resolution for adobe going away in a month and I am currently using this:
https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/flash/simple.html

What are my options?

Switch to HTML5 buttons.

Ok I am revisiting this issue, These are the methods that build my buttons and changed them to html5 below. changed my Datatable settings too below but never see a change in the buttons.
See anything wrong?

  _decorateDataTable : function() {
            var oTable = this.element.dataTable({
                "dom" : "Bfrtip",

_createCustomTableToolbarButtons : function() {
            // Extend TableTools.Buttons -- A framework for adding buttons to the DataTable
            
            
            TableTools.BUTTONS.new_entry = $.extend(true, TableTools.buttonBase, {
                "sNewLine" : "<br>",
                "sButtonText" : "Add " + this._getEditDialogName(),
                "sExtends" : "div",
                "dialogInstance" : this,
                
                "fnClick" : this._handleCreateRecordEvent,
                "fnInit": function ( nButton, oConfig ) {
                    $(nButton).button();
                }}

            );
        },

        _defineOTableTools : function() {
            var tools;
            if (this.options.flagEnableTableToolbar) {
                this._createCustomTableToolbarButtons();
                var aButtons = [ 'copyHtml5', 'csvHtml5', 'excelHtml5', 'pdfHtml5', 'printHtml5']; 
                if(isFullEditUser){
                    aButtons = [{'sExtends' : 'new_entry'},  'copyHtml5', 'csvHtml5', 'excelHtml5', 'pdfHtml5', 'printHtml5'];
                }
                tools = {
                        "sSwfPath": resourceContext+"/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf",
                        "aButtons": aButtons                            
                    };
            }
            return tools;
        },

TableTools are old and are no longer supported. It would be worth updating and using Buttons instead,
