FLASH 7 WORKS, NOT FLASH 8, NOR FLASH 9.

Hi,
It's been a while since most Flash Player users migrated from
version 7 to version 8.
All this time my version 8 never worked well. Neither did
version 9.
I was always getting an illegal instruction in module
FLASH8B.OCX or FLASH9B.OCX.
I just went back to version 7 only to discover that it works
perfectly.
Does anyone remember if they had a problem migrating from
version 7 to 8?
My OS is WIN98SE and I have IE version 6.
Thanks for any help.

Well I know you updated Flash however I'd recommend re-doing that step. If you still don't have luck you can do a reset of Safari. You will find that under the Safari menu.
Finally if you cannot get Safari to cooperate until you find the solution Google Chrome comes with Flash pre-installed.

Hard-Power off caused BIOS to stop working (NOT because of BIOS Flash)

I was trying to boot up a live CD on my Toshiba Satellite P305D-S8900. The F12 key to pull up the boot menu didn't work, and it started to boot to Windows. I let it get past the "Starting Windows" Orab (running Windows 7), and hard-powered it off when it got to "Please Wait..." right before the login screen. After that, when ever I turn it on, the BIOS isn't loading. The Only LED lights going on are the Power button one, and the three that indicates it plugged in, the power is on, and the Battery indicator. The media buttons and the one above the trackpad doesn't work. The track pad one lights up when I hit the power button to turn it off. The fans are working (indicating the power management is working), the CD Drive is reading to see if there is a disc in there, and the screen remains black. There is no hard drive activity whatsoever. And the strangest thing of all...no beep code!!
I have so far tried taking out my MAIN battery for 24 hours (NOT the CMOS battery) and a Pheniox Crisis Disk with these combinations: "Win+B", "Fn+B", and "Fn+F". There is no beep codes when I do it or even any beeping to indicate the BIOS is getting flashed for that matter. Are there any other key combinations I could try? And yes, I from the start took out the battery, plugged in the drive, and pressed and held the key combinations while plugging in the AC, turning it on, and waiting about 30 seconds to release the key combinations. Like I said, this was not during any BIOS flashing, and what went wrong really stumps me.
Is there any other solution I could try? As of right now, sending into repair is not an option. Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks in advanced!

Ff says flash player not installed but Ihave flash player on computer

I have flash player on the computer it runs on IE ok but not on FF

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
You may not have the Firefox Flash Plug-in installed. If you d0, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Flash Forms Not Rendering in IE7, Flash 9

We're having a problem with flash forms in IE7 and Flash
Player 9 not rendering the entire form. The form works fine in
Firefox 2. It looks to be a problem with how the Flash player is
able to pull back data in IE7. Likely this pertains to how IE7
handles security of plug-ins.
Oddly, we've noticed that uninstalling the Flash 9 player and
then reinstalling results in the form rendering correctly the first
time, but on subsequent views the form no longer renders correctly.
Specifically, we're not seeing data that is being called via
Flash remoting in cfselect tags (state and country information).
And we're not seeing text rendered that is in cfformitem tags. Our
dev url is:
http://hopeequity.beaconfire.com/loggedout/index.cfm?event=StartInvesting_StartAGroupStep1
If anyone has an idea of why IE7 might not be able to render
the form correctly, or might have security-related issues with
remoting and Flash 9, please reply.

I was granted access to the manuals on our prod server (the
site is set up where you have to log in to see the manuals). The
manuals are behaving differently on the prod server than in our dev
server. The following is happening on the prod server:
- the flash menus are appearing on our prod server in FireFox
only.
- I had reported in our dev area that when I right clicked on
the left hand side where the menus are to appear in IE that the
Flash menu displayed. This is not the case in our production area.
- I get the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure
items" when viewing the site on our prod server through IE
I've asked them what version of RoboHelp they are using and
no one seems to know. It seems they don't regenerate their help
files (manuals) very often.

Flash player not playing .swfs - launching Flash Pro

Hey folks.
I'm running Windows 7. Previously, when double-clicked to open and view .swf files, they would open and play flawlessly. Now, It launches Flash Pro to play the .swf's - just like as if I were using a Mac.
This has only been happening since I installed CS5. Any idea what to do? I tried doing a right-click - open with - to set a default program but I don't see Flash Player as it is installed on my computer. I don't have a .swf icon - its a white icon with the Flash mneumonic inside it.
I have run updates and re-installed Flash Player - I don't know what else to try.

Found it! Just had to do more digging...
I've provided the path to the player.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Players

Have not been able to get flash working since upgrading to 7.0.1, using the Debian Linux OS.

I haven't been able to get the flash player working since upgrading to FF 7.0.1 on Debian Linux. I have followed the instructions in "How do I install the Flash plugin?" (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/installing-flash) multiple times.
As I said this has been an issue since the latest upgrade. I was able to get flash working in earlier versions. Flash works in the Debian "Iceweasel" version of FF.

Thanks for the post, but no, that did not fix the problem.
I have located these directories:
/opt/firefox/plugins
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
of course there is the /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree directory but that shouldn't matter for FF itself.
Still not working and I get this message on the "Check you plugins" page:
"For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please ''upgrade to the latest version.''"
The version on that page "Adobe Flash Player version 11.0.1.152
Your system: Linux 64-bit, Firefox" is the version I'm using.

Flash will not publish + FLV question

Hello,
I am currently building a game in Flash CS4, but am stuck due to a Flash problem. I have searched the forums for a sollution, but have yet to find one.
The Problem:
Adobe Flash will not export, or publish my .FLA file, nor will it create a .SWF at the chosen destination under the publish settings. Whenever I try to export/publish my .FLA, the export/publish pop-up window opens, and the progress bar runs all the way through. Once that is done, the window which normally appears immediately afterwards, in order to test the flash, does not appear.
Furthermore, Flash seems to have deleted the .SWF, and any other files I wish to publish the moment the publish/export process is completed.
The strange thing about this problem is that I may be lucky and have Flash actually export and publish correctly on its first go. However, when I try again, it won’t publish/export until I restart flash.
This problem happened on three separate windows machines (Vista and 7) under both Flash CS4 and CS5.
Note:
I have discovered that this problem may be related to the many embedded FLV video clips I have created for the game’s character animations (6+ characters with 30 very short animations each).
These animations were rendered in a 3D CG software, which were then edited in Adobe After Effects, and exported as .FLVs for use in Flash.
Oddly enough, once I’ve deleted all the embedded FLV clips from the library, Flash will once again publish and export. This is not an acceptable solution to my problem, however. I already searched for any corrupted FLV files, but could not find any.
My questions are:
1. What can I do to make Flash publish/export once again, while having my embedded .FLV clips within the library? Is there something I am over-looking, or any settings I must change in Flash?
2. Which settings (in Adobe After Effects) are best to export .FLVs for use in flash?
3. If I cannot use FLVs, what other options do I have, in order to use my CG animations in Flash? I tried PNG sequences, but Flash complains about low memory, and crashes (FLVs were working great up until now).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I've also experienced problems with the Publish process dropping out and failing to complete - no error messages in the Output pane or Compiler errors, just a total hang of the Publish status bar (and no published files...).
I can't say I've pinpointed the exact cause of this, but it may be related to having all objects on the Stage locked (possibly when they are not placed in the main canvas area).
Adding a new layer and creating a new object seems to help. If the publish process (including TestScene) has stalled, restart Flash and reload the movie...
Hope that helps! It's kinda scary watching that Publish bar disappear into nothingness when you've got literally hours/minutes/seconds left to get the thing built and running :-)

Adobe flash player not working for youtube

Hi,
While I was trying to install Adobe Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, the installation process got stuck half way and I tried to terminate the installation. But I had difficulty even terminating the installation process and IE and my computer crashed together. Normally I use Firefox to surf the internet, however after the computer crashed and when I restarted my computer, Youtube videos just couldn't be played in Firefox. What I have since done was to upgrade Firefox to 3.6.18 and I have uninstalled + reinstalled Adobe Flash Player. However that still doesn't solve the problem. The Youtube webpage only shows a black box with no control boxes. However other websites e.g. Metacafe, which uses Adobe Flash Player to play video files are working perfectly fine. This is highly puzzling to me and very frustrating. Could anyone please help me with it? .
How do I mark this thread as a question?
Now, I was reading other threads and came across 1 suggestion to change the http:// to https:// and now the youtube videos can be played. How amazing :O. But that would mean that everytime I have to manually change the URL to access the video. This is so strange. Any suggestion what has happened? Thanks.

Hi, Since youtube/Google have not responded to the issue, no one knows for sure what their problem is. This is what I found and posted here last night. Then what I found and posted this morning, which you evidently found about the https.
It appears either one or both are being used to try solving the issue. It's been users coming up with these, not youtube nor Google. It effects all browsers, even Chrome. The only one I haven't seen so far is Safari. Flash Player version doesn't matter, nor Operating Systems.
From last night:
YouTube just updated their video player, so the old version could still be cached in your browser causing it to fail. I would suggest rebooting, and if that's already done then make sure your drivers are up to date.
If that does not work make sure you download the new version of flash. Posted3 hours ago
No, I had the exact same problem but it worked the second I cleared my internet cache which could have to do with what another user above said about that.
Go to tools, options, clear recent history, and only check the 'cache' option, clear now, okay, and then refresh or exit it and open it again. I didn't even have to restart my browser. I'm using firefox too, by the way. Good luck! I hope this helped! Posted 2 hours ago
From today 7/7/11:
Now youtube is having major issues as you could read from what I posted. There is nothing wrong with your computer nor Flash Player. Here is what many users are doing in addition to clearing the cache, history etc.
They are using https instead of http. So try it. Here is one that you can check to see if it works. If so, use the https until youtube/google respond.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1RiMHpUi1w
Until we hear from youtube or our own Flash Player Team, since I'm sure they are in touch with youtube, I don't know what else to do.
My guess is, that if youtube changed their video player for the videos, then that would be a factor. Right now it is a wait and see.
Thanks,

Flash works in Flash editor but not when puiblished

Hi
I have got my flash working fine in the editor but when I

The animation works fine, but there should be images loaded

Any thoughts?

My guess is your paths are wrong to the loaded content. Done
for local view
not for html. Make sure the paths to files are a ok.

Adobe Flash Player not working for Armorgames Dead Zone

I used to play Dead Zone on Armor Games a while ago, when I recently attempted to start again, it will not start. I have followed all the troubleshooting steps provided by both you and Armor Games. I can load the game on facebook but it does not have my save file. I normally use IE and I get stuck loading with this screen if I try to http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r786/adam_smiley1/IEArmorGames_zps7ad1f35f.png if I attempt to use FF I get this error instead http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r786/adam_smiley1/FFArmorGames_zpsf81f75d4.png. FF will never recognize that I have ANY version of Flash installed in this case. I have also contacted Armor Games Support for this Issue. I do not have troubles with any other game, just this one. Please Assist.

Flash will not let me downgrade to version 10 because it says it is not the most up to date, but the 11 will not work on my computer

I had Adobe FLASH 11 but it did not play any videos, so I was prompted to download the version before it (10.) but it will not let me download it since it is not the latest/most current version of the program. How do I get a version that will actually work?

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Runtime error R6025 message after log on to Vista - Flash Card not working

Hi
I'm a newbie & would appreciate any advice.
I am getting a runtime error message R6025 when I log on to Windows Vista.
When I click out of the box I then get a message saying Toshiba Flash Card not working.
I cancel that and my laptop is ok except I don't know if the flashcard is working or not because I don't know what it does.
Sorry if I sound thick
Thanks
Neelie

Hi
I found this MS knowledge base article:
+Description of the R6025 run-time error in Visual C++\+
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125749
But I doubt this description would be useful for you or anyone here. It describes this error in Visual C++ and this is programming language.
However, I think you should simply reinstall the Value Added Package which you could download firstly from the Toshiba European page.
At first you have to remove the old Value Added Package from the system, then reboot the notebook and follow with new VAP installation.
Bye

Current Version Of Flash Does Not Work For Last 8 Months Or Longer

So i make flash arcades that resides in a game called Second Life the flash player it used to work great till the updates not long ago i now have to tell each person wanting to play my arcades that they have to do the following to get it to work.
Here Is The Quote
This is a fix for people that can not move with arrow keys in game or other keys not working on the arcade it comes down to Adobe no fixing there code in there new version. Every now and again they release a new version of Flash Player and they break the code this here is a way to fix it so you can play the arcades in sl with out problems i am sorry it is taking Adobe so long to fix this i have no control over what they do i do hope they fix this soon.
Step 1. Download the uninstaller for Flash Player http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
The Flash Player uninstaller executes on both 64-bit and 32-bit version of the Windows operating systems.
Save the file in a location where you can find it easily after you restart your computer. For example, save it on your Windows desktop.
Step 2. Run the uninstaller
Double-click the icon of the uninstaller that downloaded to your computer.
Follow the prompts. If you see the message "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?," click Yes.
Delete Flash Player files and folders.
(more in depth directions with pictures can be found here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_t he_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller )
Step 3. Installing a working version of Adobe Flash Player Flash Player 15.0.0.152 (Win Firefox and Mac) (132 MB)
Direct Link http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_15.0.0.152_archive.zi p
Save the file in a location where you can find it easily example, save it on your Windows desktop.
Step 4. Unzip the file to your desktop if you do not know how to unzip a file you can google it. Or you can download a free app called winzip or winrar are well known apps.
After you have unzipped the file you should be left with a folder called "fp_15.0.0.152_archive" open the folder and find the folder named "15_0_r0_152" ignore the folder that says debug on it.
When you are insde the "15_0_r0_152" folder double click the file flashplayer15_0r0_152_win.exe it will be the red box there will be 3 red box icons its the top one you want to install.
After you complete this action you have the choices to let adobe automatically update your flash player we recommend you say no to this then click finish. Now restart your pc and log into SL and it should be working 100% again.
Notes:
15.0.0.152 is the latest working version of Adobe Flash Player that we know of atm if there is a new version out please let us know.
You may update your flash player and see if it is working on the latest version we recommend you check each month at least one time to see if they have done updates to the software.
If it breaks again you will need to follow these steps again until they fix there code. Some times they fix the code by the next update some times they take a month or more just depends on the people at adobe that are releasing these bad versions of Flash.
Link to Flash Archive http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
So i am wondering can some one pass this to a tech person to fix the current code what ever was in 15_0_r0_152 and before worked great now it don't work at all this is not some noob talking this has been tested on over 80+ different computers if not more 80 or more people have contacted me alone on the issue as i know it is one and to be honest i am getting sick of waiting on adobe to fix there code so please send this to the right department to see if they can fix there code and not let it fall on deaf ears. Or give me the exact reason why the new code does not work but the old code does work and i will see if i can fix it but i would rather it be fixed by Adobe as there are many people that want it fixed thank you.
Sincerely,
Deviant Taurus
PS. This happened about 3 years ago and was fixed with the next update i do not recall the version number but you guys have been releasing many new versions and it is still broken please help me and many others put this problem to rest,

Flash does not work on youtube after update

I use Firefox on Fedora 14 x86_64. I do not have the 32-bit applications or libraries installed. I have been having the problem for a while. I saw it with FF 3.6.14, FF 3.6.15, and FF 4 beta. I do not know if this is specifically a FF issue. Firefox operates the Adobe flash module with NS Wrapper and the problem seem to be with NS Wrapper. I do not know how the FF and the NS Wrapper projects are related.
The problem is that 90% of the time FF fails to startup the video player plugin when I visit a page with video. It plays normally once it starts but usually it just doesn't start. When it happens, there are usually no graphics drawn for the video object (no black box, no thumbnail, no video player gadget, just a big empty space). When I run from a terminal then I get the error messages listed below.
I am using the recent 64-bit flash release. flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710. This worked before and it works with the Konqueror browser.

Flash plugin crashes every time it loads.
Flash works fine here on Firefox and Safari (actually 10.6 users shouldn't be using Safari as Apple doesn't support it anymore)
You said you reinstalled OS X, but that only does OS X unless you first wiped the drive of all users (and their data!) and programs.
So your issue is likely a corrupted Flash user cache file or user permissions issue in your user account.
Since you uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and the problem continues, that would suggest it's the cause.
It can likely be confirmed by logging into another user account.
You can delete your Flash cache file in the Apple menu > System Preferences also use the OnyX routine in the Step by Step fixes should clear other cache issues.
Also run through this list of fixes to eliminate other issues (like failed user account permissions) as you generally tune up your machine.

It seems my problem has changed from what I origonally thought it was. I thought my flash player didn't work at all. Mainly because I typically use it for one thing, and that one thing wasn't working (photobucket). After trying to uninstall flash, reinstall it and getting the "getPlus+(R) installation corrupt error", I did some more reading and research.
I followed this link - www.adobe.com/software/flash/about - and it says I have ver. 10,0,32,18 installed. So that is good, it's installed but it still doesn't work everywhere.
I've tried youtube and it works just fine.
The problems I am mainly having is with Photobucket. When I go to my own Photobucket acct. and play a video from my acct. it works but it is painfully slow to load. I might wait up to 2-3 minutes for one of my own videos to load so that I can watch it. This never took more than 10-20 seconds to load before.
Now when I follow a link posted on a forum that is a video link from another persons Photobucket acct. is where the real problem is. It won't play at all. The player loads, but the screen freezes with the first image of the video. The taskbar shows it is still loading, but it never loads. After a few minutes the taskbar shows 'done', but nothing has changed. The video is still frozen at the beginning and it shows me a pause button in the bottom left, like it is playing....but of course it is not.
Also, more often than not, while the video is trying to load the web browser will be "not responding", the computer freezes, and I have to end all tasks and restart the browser. This is really driving me crazy....
I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1. I used to use IE7. I have now switched to Firefox 3.5, and there is no difference between the two web browsers as far as this problem is concerned.
TIA for any help with this.

Well, I think there are some big clues here that tell you where you should be pointing.. I haven't read any of your other posts though, so I may be missing something...
" used to use IE7. I have now switched to Firefox 3.5, and there is no difference between the two web browsers as far as this problem is concerned."
"I've tried youtube and it works just fine."
"When I go to my own Photobucket acct. and play a video from my acct. it works but it is painfully slow to load"
Here's what that says to me... you do not have a problem. Flash Player is installed and running. It's Photobucket that has the problem, and that problem lies in their code and/or their network. In this scenario there is virtually nothing we can do for your from the Adobe side of the equation. The fact that both the Flash Player activeX control in IE AND the Flash Player plugin behave the same way indicates to me that this is something Photobucket needs to look into.
So, what can you do?
1. Gather a bit more info. Get a list of similar sites that work fine (Flicker, for example, would be good becuase it's similar)
2. Uninstall Flash Player 10 and get an old Flash Player 9 install from the Archived Players technote:
"Archived Flash Players available for testing purposes" http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
(This assumes that Photobucket doesn't require Flash Player 10. If they do this step won't work. But if they do not require Flash Player 10, then testing with Flash Player 9 can help tell them if the problem was introduced by changes made to Flash Player 10 that they need to code for specifically)
3. Open a support case with Photobucket
Now, is it entirely impossible that there could be some Flash Player issue here? No, it's not. But it's the kind of issue that Photobucket would have to find, then they work with us directly to address it. Nearly impossible to do from the end user point of view because you have no insight into what their code is doing.

FLASH 7 WORKS, NOT FLASH 8, NOR FLASH 9.
