    Hi Bentley,
    I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
    post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
    be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
    link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
    It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
    it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
    in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
    post has a mini bug in it.
    If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
    not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
    see the period there each time.
    I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
    web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
    it.
    Here is the original link, without a period after it, to your
    original page.

  • Flash Player Question for Adobe

    Hi I am new at this, I posted a Question a day ago under Flash Player 111 people have looked but no
    answer.
    I can watch Videos & Animation the only thing that will not work is Adobe download, the screen
    freezes every time after telling me it cannot install. It takes a couple of minutes to unfreeze
    microsoft askes to send error report but that freezes and anything else I try to do.
    After Adobe screen completes it then just drops of the screen, when I go back to
    Internet Explorer it asks do I want to go back to session that terminated, if I say yes we go back
    freezing again. If I go to home page all works well again. I need the Macromeda Flash Player
    for Incredimail, I have been using this programe for many many years only now having this
    problem. I have also downloaded the Flash removal program and it worked okay.
    Please Adobe there must be a reason.

    Here's my advise.
    Focus ONLY on Flash Player. Don't think about the other installs because it just causes confusion.
    Now, try this and ONLY this and report back:
    1. Launch Internet Explorer
    2. Go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome
    3. Tell us what version of Flash Player it says is installed
    Do NOT look in control panels for installed programs. Flash Player is a browser plugin/activeX control, it's not an installed application.  It only works with your browser. The above test will tel you if it's installed and running correctly.
    Also, incredimail is an application that gets installed on your machine.  I don't see what it's relationship to Flash Player is.
    OK I uninstalled all Flash Players to test this, and incredimail does seem to rely on the presence of most likely the Flash Player activeX control.
    Still, do the above test and see what it says.
    Then do the steps in this technote VERY CAREFULLY: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/163/fb1634cb.html
    If the steps in this technote seem daunting then I'd suggest seriously considering taking the machine to a local professional.

  • Adobe Flash Player Question.

    Hey, I am trying to create a powerpoint presentation for an assignment at school. I need to embedd a youtube video to my slide and I am using powerpoint 2010. When i go to use to Insert video from website option it is disabled and gives me the error. "Cannot Insert videos from website because no compatible version of Adobe Flash Player is installed." I have just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and it still gives me this error.
    Any help?
    thanks

    Hi, I don't use Powerpoint and can't help you with it, sorry. However, when you first open your thread here, look on the right hand side where "More like This" is.  There will be threads with similar discussions about Powerpoint. Take a look at one or two and there will also be "More like this" on any of the threads you go to. Then this gives more threads and hopefully you will find your answer.
    Thanks,

  • Web gallery / Flash Player question

    Not sure where to post this, so I'll start here.
    In CS3 web gallery, after I create the gallery and it goes to view it, the browser (Safari) open up to a blank page with the following statment / links:
    Please upgrade your Flash Player.Already have Flash Player? Click here if you have Flash Player 6 installed.
    This is very irritating. I have Flash Player 10 installed. I still get this window each and every time.
    I tried FireFox3 and got the same outcome. In fact the only way to get the Web gallery to play is to click the link "click here if you have Flash Player 6 installed", then the web gallery opens. The other link, of course takes me to the Adobe Flash Player upgrade site, but as I said, I already have Flash Player 10 installed.
    There must be something in the html code that presents this page first. Does anyone know how to remove / stop this page from opening.
    thanks guys & gals.

    The file "flashobject.js" is a Javascript file that, among other things, detects what version of Flash is on the browser and complains if it doesn't like the current version. The code that actually detects the version looks at the first character to the left of the "." in the version number and decides that that is the version. If you are running version 10 of Flash that code decides you are running version "0" and complains.
    You can fix this by going to the function "getFlashVersion()" in the "flashobject.js" file and replacing the following line:
         flashversion = y.charAt(y.indexOf('.')-1);
    with this line:
         flashversion = parseInt( y.substr( y.indexOf('.')-2,2) );
    You will have to do this with each copy of the Web Photo Gallery you are using as well as with the copies of "flashobject.js" that are buried in your program files for Photoshop (assuming you use Photoshop to create your Galleries as I do).
    WARNING: Use this fix at your own risk. I am not a Flash developer, I just know something about JavaScript. I did test this with a Flash 9 and a Flash 10 player but not as extensively as Adobe would if they released this patch. If it doesn't work for you that is your problem.

  • Flash Player question, Whats Apples opinion?

    I just got a window suggesting I install Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94
    What is Apple recommending about flash player I seem to recall it wasn't too happy with it, about a year or 2 ago?

    It has got a lot of security problems that may put your iMac in risk. Moreover, most of the Flash updates are released to fix security issues, so if you can, it's better not to use it. The same happens with Java
    OS X Mountain Lion now allows you to choose in which websites you want to use Flash. If you are using OS X 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5, open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Security, and you will be able to choose the websites you want to use Safari in

  • Flash Player question involving Dreamweaver

    After successfully installing the Adobe Flash Player, version 10,3,181,26 on my 32-bit Windows Vista with Internet Explorer 9 (also a 32-bit version), I am still getting this message when I open up any HTML document in my trial version of Dreamweaver CS5.5; "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View, install the Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com" Why? Did I need to select (or deselect something in Internet Options before I installed the Flash Player? Or am I getting this message simply because I have the "trial" version of Dreamweaver CS5.5? Any advice is greatly appreciated.                        

    My apologies, I assumed from your first email mentioning you needed to install the "Firefox Plugin" that you already had Firefox installed on your system.
    Depending on which browser you use when you visit the Flash Player download page, it will present you with the appropriate installer. If you want to install a different version, you can simply use that other browser when you go to the download page, or you can manually specify a different version to download.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    This page will let you select the OS and Player version. You should select "Flash Player 10.3 for Windows - Other Browsers" to install the Plugin version.
    Sorry for the confusion.

  • Down flash player questions

    I am running  windows 8.   I  am not at all familiar with  the new system.  I  cannot  download the latest version of flash player.  How do I do that?

    What exactly means "cannot"?  What browser are you using?  Internet Explorer 10 comes with Flash Player preinstalled; use Windows Update to update Flash Player.

  • About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working

    After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
    I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
    I have updated my devices drivers.  I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
    Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
    I have checked this too and
    *Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
    * Yes at medium now (was at med high)
    * have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
    * C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
    * No error messages - was told it was installed successfully

  • ADOBE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALL ISSUE- FEB 2015

    POSTED FEB 2 2015
    hello fellow mac users -  I have an adobe flash player question...
    I am sure everyone is aware of the adobe flash player vulnerability that came out late January 2015.   Initially when I saw that, I promptly removed flash player on my machine and installed the new version 16.0.0.287.    A day later when I started my machine,  I saw a Flash Player message indicating I have to download again.  I googled and found out Adobe actually only partially fixed the vulnerability.
    Exasperated, I decided to say bye-bye to Adobe Flash for good by uninstalling Flash Player.   After uninstalling, I went to Youtube and played a video - it shows that its using HTML5 codec to play the video - so far, so good.
    The issue I am having is that since I uninstalled the Flash Player, whenever I start up my machine I am getting this "Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller" pop up window.  
    The first time I saw it, I clicked on UNINSTALL button and it will say "Adobe Flash Player was removed".   But every day when I start up my machine, it still shows this pop up message and its driving me bonkers.
    is there a way to remove or prevent this pop-up from showing up?   BTW I checked my machine's preferences and Adobe Flash Player is no longer listed.
    BTW I have a iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011), Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Thanks for your input in advance.  

    RESOLVED - Feb 3 2015
    I believe I have found the issue and resolution on that pesky Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller - thought i'd share in case this would help someone.
    Since that f***ing  Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller pops up each time I start up the machine, I thought I should check the "startup" items in my Mac machine.  So I did my research and I did the following steps:
    1. Click on Mac > System Preferences
    2. Select Users and Groups
    3. User and Groups window pops up - On the right pane you'll see "Password" and "Login Items" items - click on "Login Items".
    On the Login items - I did see 'Adobe Flash Player Installer' - apparently this triggers the Uninstaller instead of Installer - but whatever - I have banned Flash Player from my Mac so I highlight this item on the Login Items list, and click on the minus sign button - it removed the Adobe Flash Player Installer from the Login Items list.    Then I restarted my machine - and voila -  NO MORE PESKY Adobe Flash Player uninstaller pop-ups!!!! Hurrah!!!
    Again this might help specifically for those who want to BAN Adobe Flash Player from their machines and are seeing the Adobe Flash Player Installer / Uninstaller every time they start up their machine.  Apparently this is not a widespread problem but it still does happen.  Good luck y'all and say goodbye to Adobe Flash Player (sorry Adobe, but I do still love your core products like Lightroom and Photoshop).  Adobe should not have bought Macromedia (who originally developed Flash and Shockwave) years back but who would have known Flash would be such a headache (no thanks to cybercriminals)...

  • New Naming Convention for Flash Player Installers

    My operating system is Win7 64-bit.
    After updating the Flash Players to 10.1.53.64 (for Flash Pro CS5), I noticed the names for the plugin installers have changed from "Install Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe" and "Install Flash Player 10 Plugin.exe" to:
    "InstallAX.exe" and "InstallPlugin.exe".
    Can these new installers also replace the old ones in Flash Catalyst CS5 (as in copy/paste then delete the ones with the old names)?

    Since this is not really a standard Flash Player question / issue, perhaps you should ask in the appropriate Flash forum?

  • Help for PowerPoint 2007 crash when running embedded SWF file with latest Flash Player?

    I have developed in Xcelsius 2008 SP4 a dashboard with only Excel as the source. I output to PowerPoint and then save it as a PowerPoint 2003 PPS file. On more than a few machines that have PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint crashes when I attempt to run the presentation. This happens only with later versions of Flash Player. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the latest Flash Player but it still crashes. However, when I revert back to Flash Player 10.1.159..., in PP 2007 the presentation runs perfectly.
    With regard to the error I receive in PowerPoint 2007, it is as follows:
    Error Signature:
    AppName: powerpnt.exe AppVer: 12.0.6500.5000 AppStamp:49a68f9d
    ModName: flash10u.ocx ModVer: 10.3.181.34 ModStamp:4e011a1d
    fDebug: 0 Offset: 003a893c
    Of note is that this behavior does not happen in PowerPoint 2003 nor does it happen when the file is saved as a SWF and launched directly in the browser on the problem machines.
    I have to assume that this has happened to others so any help you could provide would be VERY appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hello,
    on the first glance I see these: data="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/user/Documents/Website/Working.swf", what means the path to your swf file is pointing to your local hard drive which nobody can see except you. Please replace all thes pathes with the correct ones and load up your file(s) again.
    If the problem remains, please send a link to your website in question, no matter how it looks like..

  • Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

    How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
    If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
    Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
    Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
    Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
    Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains.  You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
    Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
    The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
    What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
    When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
    After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
    Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
    Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
    If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
    Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
    Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
    What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
    You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
    or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
    Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
    If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
    If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
    Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
    For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

    Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
    If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
    I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
    After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
    I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.
