 * Adobe flash support is terminating at the end of this year.
    You should stop 
   using it. Completely. See: [https://www.adobe.com/mena_en/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html#](https://www.adobe.com/mena_en/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html#)

 * However if you encounter similar problem with any other filetype,
    you can use
   this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-add-mime-types/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-add-mime-types/)
