What is Adobe Animate?
Adobe Animate, previously Adobe Flash Professional, is an authoring environment (IDE) that can produce interactive solutions for running inside web browsers or for the desktop.
Drawing, illustration and authoring
Vector art brushes – Modify the path of a stroke after it’s been drawn, and scale them to any resolution without losing quality. You can also make custom brushes and import brushes created with Adobe Capture CC.
360° rotatable canvas – Rotate the canvas on any pivot point as you draw to get the perfect angle and strokes. You can even use this feature with a Wacom Cintiq!
Improved pencils and brushes – Draw smooth, precise vector outlines along a curve and get faster live previews.
Easier audio syncing – Control audio looping directly on the timeline, without having to code.
Faster color changing – Naming tagged colors lets you change one color and have it automatically update your entire project.
Colored onion skinning – Easily orchestrate complex animations now that adjacent frames can have different color and alpha values.
CreativeSync integration
Adobe Stock – Browse and license millions of high-quality photos, illustrations and vector graphics directly in Animate CC. You can even add life to static content by adding animations to them.
Creative Cloud Libraries – Access colors, vector graphics and brushes directly as you work.
Output capabilities
Multiplatform support: HTML5 Canvas, WebGL, Flash (SWF), AIR, video, and custom platforms (such as SVG) via extensions.
4K+ video export – Export videos with custom resolutions for the latest Ultra HD and Hi-DPI displays.
Custom resolution export – Revitalize older content by resizing and optimizing them for any resolution, such as Ultra HD and Hi-DPI displays.
.OAM support – Export your project as an .OAM file for easy importing to Adobe Muse, InDesign, DPS and Dreamweaver.

Said about Adobe Animate as an alternative
adobe flash can not only make games but can make animation, even cartoon
Because it has the best things out of all of them. It is specifically made for amazing animating and even though you have to pay, it's the best! (all my opinion)
It's the best Animate software, it may be very expensive but it is very worth the money. It's also really good for professional animations.

- Anipe Upvoted a comment on Wick Editor as an alternative to Adobe AnimateIt does have a lot of cool features, and will do for a lot of people, but it doesn't have things like bone tools and other things like that. (Also i'd way prefer it to be downloadable in my opinion)about 1 month ago

There is endless amounts of things you can do with this great app, dynamic webpages, making games, or creating animated ad's for sites. If you know how to use this application, you can land a lot of good paying jobs. I like it because the vector design interface is the best around.
In this post Adobe announces that Flash Professional is becoming Adobe Animate CC and suggests to use HTML5 in place of Flash!
