  • Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control

    I am trying to run Samsung PC studio and I keep getting this error message, "Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows."
    I had to re-install CS4 because of an update error message (which I am still getting) and I think that caused this problem because this program ran fine before. I do have the latest version of Flash installed (11.8.800.168) but that is the plug-in. Is the Active X control something different?
    If so where can I download that?
    I am running W7HP, 64 bit
    Hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the response but I actually started having this problem all of a sudden about a month or two ago before I encountered the recent flash problem. I think something is keeping CS4 from updating properly and that is what caused the flash issue. I had not un-installed it prior to last week.
    Is adobe still offering support for CS4 when it is update related?
    Any other suggestions?
    According to the support page, no more support for CS4 is available.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/programs/policies/supported.html
    Adobe only supports two version back of the current, which in this case is CC. That would mean CS6 and CS5.5 are the two previous, and that's where it stops.

  • My version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with my version of Windows

    I am trying to use a new copy of Camtasia Studio 3, and I keep gettiong the error message that my version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with my version of Windows and that I should ocntact Adobe for support. So here I am.
    I am running Windows7 64bit, and it's a brand new computer so I know that there aren't tons of legacy installations or Flash players on it. This page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html tells me that I have Flash Player version 11.4.31.110 installed but that I should have 11.4.402.287 installed. But I have installed the latest Flash player from the Adobe site (twice!) and it never gives me an option for 11.4.31.110 vs 11.4.402.287.
    I am using Chrome and Flash is working fine in my browser: It's only Camtasia that isn't working well.
    Thanks!

    Hm, I assume you mean Camtasia Studio 8?
    Check the chart on the page you linked. You'll see that the version you have installed is in fact the latest version for Chrome. They haven't updated it beyond that. Each browser engine has its own latest version of flash. IE and Mozilla are 11.4.402.287.
    Aside that, there's no reason Camtasia should be requiring you to have that version of flash. Make sure when you're publishing your content that you don't check off any options to "require the user to have the latest version of Flash". You should also (if possible in your project) try to target MP4/HTML5. Check any HTML being generated with it (hopefully using SWFObject) and check for the version checking code. There is absolutely nothing Camtasia needs to require the latest version to do. I've been using Camtasia (TechSmith codec mostly) for screen recording since version 2.

  • My Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with Windows 7 / 64bit

    I have downloaded the newest version of Adobe flash, and it installs like normal...and I think it is working fine....but on some sites (even You Tube) and some software programs, I get this message:
    Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows.
    I am tired of wasting so much time with this...I read on the net that some people compiled their computer to 86...whatever that means....but no one explained how to do it.
    I have a Flash professional in ADOBE MASTER COLLECTION C6 / but all programs and sites default to the normal Flash player (that constantly gets updated,

    I have a similar problem, Win 7 64-bit, I did a clean install*, downloaded latests (Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player), and after restarting my computer, Win7 64-bit Action Center popped up: "Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows" with no error codes to look up knowledge base. Like seriously, no one from Adobe answered this in 9 months?! And the steps in Common problems | Flash Player sound like I need to purchase support before I file a report?
    Currently, my Firefox plugins only show Shockwave Flash 13 not Adobe Flash. Do I need to install Flash plugin for Firefox? (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe)
    Thanks!
    * as per How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?:
    1. Add or Remove programs ... Flash ... uninstall,

    please help

    I have Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on my VIsta Ultimate machine and it runs in IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari. The ActiveX version is ONLY for IE and Outlook.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player offilne installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Run both of those and see if it helps.

  • Flash ActiveX, FScommand

    Hello All
    I would appreciate a little guidance on a issue I'm having.
    I am using A'ware 7.02 and Flash 8.
    I am building a wrapper program that launches a flash-based
    assessment that is designed to work with a Scorm-compliant LMS.
    There has been a breakdown in rolling out the LMS, so I've had to
    simulate an LMS within the wrapper, so that it can run on a network
    drive until the servers are ready.
    The assessment communicates with a flash-based utitlity that
    directs most of the communication between Aware and the Assessment.
    The only way I have been able to successfully have all three
    pieces communicate with each other is to launch the two flash
    pieces using the Shockwave for Flash Active X control. The problem
    is there are 5 assessments and growing, each in a unique location.
    I have had to have a unique sprite for each assessment because I
    can't figure out how to do a relative path in the control.
    I don't like not being able to add assessments without going
    back into the Aware peice. Any suggestions?
    I have not seen any documentation on best practices when
    having three different programs communicate this way.

    Few questions...
    1. When you refer to 'two flash pieces' in your fifth
    paragraph, are these
    the utility and the assessment itself?
    2. IMO you'll have to learn the inner workings of the utility
    in order to
    have it launch each new assessment on the fly. It should be
    possible to do
    this, however.
    3. Relative paths should not be a problem in the ActiveX
    itself...rather,
    you'll be using the ActiveX to control the logic of the
    utility.
    4. Finally a general question...if this tool/simulation
    you're building is
    a short-term solution until the servers are set up, is it
    really worth
    building? Why not just wait until the servers are ready?
    OTOH, it might be
    a great thing for you, as you'll be learning a lot about
    Flash-AW
    communication.
    Additional comments....
    SCORM based assessments that I've worked with send out a data
    package when
    the 'submit' button is pressed by the assessment-taker and
    this follows a
    stardard format of 9 specified fields. If you like send me
    the relevant
    files (including the FLA of the utility if you can get it)
    and I'll try to
    sort it all out for you.
    Also, as you say there is little documentation on having
    three programs
    communicate. There is, however, a nice little piece of
    documentation on the
    Flash ActiveX control API, which I'll send you if you contact
    me.

  • Flash activex version problem

    dear all
    my problem is as follows, please bear with me:
    i have a vb6 application which uses flash activex control to show swf files on my forms.
    when using flash10d.ocx (which was the latest at the time i first used it) everything worked fine and all flash files did their thing...
    since new versions of the ocx file have been released my app doesnt work properly anymore (some of the flash files appear distorted/dont refresh/resize properly, some doesnt appear at all.)
    i know that i can uninstall any version and re-install my flash10d.ocx. and if do, everything works fine again.
    but that cannot be a solution, cause my end users might (rightfully) want to be updated with the latest flash they can have. and i dont even have direct contact with any of them...
    any side-by-side installation i tried ended-up with vb using the latest version intalled, ignoring the older one
    any comment and direction will be greatly appreciated, i've been crawling the web for some time now...finding absolutely zilch
    thanx a lot in advance
    E.

    Hi Olga,
    Please try this
    Resolution
    Set Flash Player Security Settings to allow the local drive to be trusted. Also see the Xcelsius 2008 Installer Release Note on Adobe Flash Player Security.
    This will also occur if you snapshot or export to a local format such as PPT, HTML or Word and try to run the SWF file.
    To enable trust:
    1.)    Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
    2.)    Select "Always Allow"
    3.)    In the "Always trust files in these locations:" drop down, select "Add location""
    4.)    Browse for the location in which your SWF file is located or add C:\
    Hope this helps.
    Regards
    Nikhil

  • Flash ActiveX in C++ app - how to communicate?

    Hello everybody!
    I think that most of the people here on this forum will not be familiar with C++, but familiarity with Flash ActiveX controls is actually more than enough to help me!
    Here is my situation. I'm doing some desktop application (C++), and I want to use some fancy graphics for GUI, and I think flash would be the good idea. Possible solutions include using GDI (too primitive), OpenGL (too complex for my task), Silverlight (not well supported yet) and Flash - which I will probably choose. And I need your help with some questions.
    I'm using Visual C++ (MFC), so I just placed the Flash ActiveX control on the form, then loaded the SWF with put_Movie()/Play(), and now trying to communicate:
    A) To communicate from flash to C++, e.g. to report when the button inside SWF is clicked. I think FSCommand is the solution here. Please tell me if any other methods exist.
    B) To communicate from C++ to SWF - some mechanism to fire events in C++ and catch those events in flash (ActionScript). This is the part where I don't have any answers and need your advice.
    Any kind of help would be much appreciated!

    Still no reply.
    I am waiting for any clue.
    please help, I need it urgently.

  • Flex ActiveX Control Event is Missing

    Hi,
    I wrote an ATL CAxDialogImpl based dialog DLL to host a flash
    activex control. When I launched the DLL dialog box from a command
    line C# program, I can get all the events sent from the flash
    activex control to the dialog instance object, e.g. fscommand,
    FlashCall, OnReadyStateChange, etc.
    Now, I try to load the dialog DLL in IE using a simple local
    html with VBScript, the dialog box shows up and the flash shows up
    too. But I can no longer get fscommand, and FlashCall events from
    the Flash activex control to the dialog instance object,
    interestingly, I can still get the OnReadStateChange events.
    I don't know if this is a known problem already, or it's a
    bug, or is there any workaround for it, or I simply did something
    wrong.
    Your help is highly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    EJIANG

    Hi,
    This is due to security functionality introduced in Flash
    8.0. I have read the
    Security
    Changes in Flash Player 8 and pages linked in the
    fscommand
    function documentation several times but it's unclear for me in
    which sandbox are put files opened in hosted ActveX Flash control.
    If someone knows this would be very helpful.
    Adobe states that embeding Flash Player ActiveX is not
    supported and stays quiet. Maybe SliverLight guys will be more
    comunicative.
    We have resolved this by using AxWebBrowser control and
    hosting the Flash player in a webpage instead of hosting it in
    Flash ActiveX.
    Another solution if you are using only local files is to try
    to use "file://YOUR_PATH_TO_FILE" as an argument for LoadMovie
    method. But this works only on local files.
    Hope this helps

  • ExternalInterface in C# form does not work with debug ActiveX control

    Hello,
    I have a C# form that is a container for the Flash ActiveX
    control. Everything works find as far as communication between the
    two (container and Actionscript) if I use the release version of
    the ActiveX control. If I use the debug version, the container does
    not receive call events. Obviously I need to be able to debug both
    the C# and actionscript code simultaneously. I have searched this
    forum (and others) for any insight, but nothing glares out at me.
    Could this possibly be a security issue?
    Brad

    I thing I have a solution for you. I created a note on it end of November (unfortunately, our systems have not replicated it to the outside yet). Here is the content of the note:
    Symptom
    Using Visual Studio .NET, database logon code is not recognized.
    Crystal reports Viewer database logon parameter screen prompts for login.
    This symptom is only observed when using Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack 2.
    Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 1 works as expected.
    Reproducing the Issue
    Use Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 to create a report with dynamic parameter(s)
    Use the following code from the Crystal Reports SDK for VS .NET
    Dim crDatabase As Database
    Dim crTables As TablesDim crTable As Table
    Dim crTableLogOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo
    Dim crConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo
    crReportDocument.Load("<path>")
    crReportDocument.Refresh()
    crConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
    With crConnectionInfo
    .ServerName = "<New Server Name>"
    .Password = "<password>"
    End With
    crDatabase = crReportDocument,Database
    crTables = crDatabase.Tables
    For Each crTable In crTables
    crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
    crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
    crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
    Next
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
    The above code works with Crystal Reports 2008 SP 1
    Resolution
    Add .DataSourceConnections(0).SetConnection to the code as follows:
    For Each crTable In crTables
    crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
    crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
    crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
    Next
    ''This is the line of code to be added ****
    crReportDocument.DataSourceConnections(0).SetConnection("Sever Name", "Database Name", "Use ID", "Password")
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
    The issue has been submitted for a resolution.
    Tracking number is ADAPT01333806.

  • Flash Movie - Controlling the Movie

    I'm currently working with a flash file that has 24,000
    frames. I have been able to successfully use the Call Sprite
    commands to start and play the movie and stop the movie, but only
    from frames 1-16,000. But for some reason the movie will not play
    beyond frame 16,001. It will go to any frame using the Call Sprite
    commands after 16,000 and display that frame but the movie will not
    play. The movie is a flash 6 swf. published from Flash 8
    professional. It was originally a video converted to flash format.
    This works or any frame number between 1 and 16,000:
    CallSprite(@"chair",#gotoframe,9325)
    CallSprite(@"chair", #play)
    But the movie image stops at frame 16,001 and the sound
    continues. If I tell it to go to frame 16,100 (or any frame higher)
    It will go to that frame, display that frame (image) but will not
    play the movie/sound.
    The flash assest properties are set as Linked,preload, image,
    sound, and I've tryed every possible option.

    I would not be surprised if this was a limitation of the
    Flash sprite,
    since it only officially supports Flash 6 or earlier. I
    recall some sort
    of frame limit in older versions of Flash.
    Did you try 'not linked', so it's actually imported? Not that
    that would
    help necessarily, but maybe.
    Also maybe try the Flash ActiveX control and see if that
    works better
    for you? Though it has it's own issues and requires different
    scripting...

  • "the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

    I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
    I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe).  and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered".  Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems.  For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins.  I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards.  However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager.  Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background.  Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
    For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost  identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various  iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final  editions of version 9).
    First I tried the standard support here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
    Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open).  This did not work.  I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat".  This didn't work either.  However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
    A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
    I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
    For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
    I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account.  If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
    I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
    This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key.  This confirmed that this was the problem.  I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry.  Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself.  I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
    The solution:
    Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key.  I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid.  Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
    1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe").  You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
    2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
    3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
    4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add".  Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
    5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
    6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top.  You will see that their is no "Current Owner".  This is what we will now fix.
    7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators).  Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects".  Then click Ok.  You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
    8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
    9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions).  To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more.  If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it).  In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
    Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem.  Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer.  Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

    They will stay on the screen.  However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users.  It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error.  This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
    I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others.  Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista).  If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon".  For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot.  First of all to just show Registry events.  Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable.  The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results.  And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess.   When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
    Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable.  e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.
