MAC / PC flash game issues through standalone flash player

I had some flash games built for new site. They were built on a PC, and play perfectly through the latest version of flash player, but jump and loop continuously through flash player on mac. Cannot figure out the reason why this is happening. Anyone come across this before?

we have loaded shockwave Flash NP-PPC plugIn version 7.0R69
into the plug ins folder of Internet Explorer 5
We are still having the same problem which is that we cannot
view a web page which contains a flash movie with some video
embedded.
We see the rest of the animation and hear the sound on the
movie, but can't see the movie.
When I published the Flash movie I set it to play with Flash
Player 6 and up.
The flash movie (on the web page) plays fine on our other OSX
Macs and PC's.
thanks

Flash button shows through Flash Menu

I am using a third party product that has a Flash drop down menu. In DreamWeaver, I added a Flash button on the page. When I activate the drop-down menu, the Flash button shows through the Flash drop down menu. How can I fix this so that the menu covers up the button? I've tried z-index property but that did not work.

Flash rises to the top. See this article on wmode parameter

Anytime I run a Flash game, Firefox closes! I have updated all add-ons and extentions, disabled Adobe DLM and went through the suggestions to fix this issue. NOTHING WORKS! What do I do?

The game I am trying to play is on Facebook. The internet and other sites work as normal, but when I load a flash game the game begins for about 30 seconds and then freezes and firefox shuts down. I have used INTERNET EXPLORER and the games loads fine. This issue is with firefox plugins, extensions, add-ons...or whatever. I don't know what to do to get this to work properly.

Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

Flash game wont work on a Mac

I have a game that was working fine, recently the client complained that on a mac and in Safari and Firefox the game is broken, but it works fine in Windows. It's a card game, the problem is on a mac you can't drop a card. I develop on a mac, and the game worked fine for almost a year. Has anyone heard of any Mac flash player issues?
here's the link: http://www.tnt.tv/games/charmedspellcaster/
Thanks!

Hello
Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

No matter if it's a Mac or a PC, FireFox refuses to refresh Flash files. Updated Flash files are showing up as old,out dated, Flash files. Is there an issue with the Flash Player PlugIn?

I have created a simple Flash menu for use on multiple site. They all access the same flash file. My original flash file only had a few links and tabs. The new one has more links, and a "LIVE" button at the bottom. But in Fire Fox, those that saw the original can not see the updated version in FireFox. They see it if they use Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc. This issue comes up on all operating systems. This issue only occurs with FireFox. I've tried clearing FireFox's Cache but that doesn't seem to be working either.
The Flash File can be found on the left side at this link:

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this?

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this? Very new to this

The license is for the Developer not the machine it is run on However there could be soma issues with trying to develop on a public machine.
The biggest is does the library machine have or will they let you install and run Xcode and if you are developing for IOS will they let you plug in your devices?
In addition will they allow you the hours needed on the machine? Most public machines have a time limit especially if there are others waiting to use it.
All-in-all in can be done but it won;t be an easy situation.
good luck

Flash 8 issues with Mac OS?

Flash 8 and Macs? A while ago i read that Flash 8 wasnt compatible
with older Mac systems, but now I cant find any information
relating to this on Adobe. Has this issue been resolved?

Issues with clicking the edges/corners of the screen in Flash games.

Hello there.
My OS is Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit
My browser is Mozilla Firefox (Version 10.0.2)
My Adoce Flash Player version is 11.1.102.62
Quite simply, while playing nearly all Flash games, on pretty much any site (Newgrounds, Kongregate, etc), the cursor glitches out (To specify, the cursor is constantly changing between "Pointing" and the "Select" hand icons,) at the edges of the screen, and even on some of them it's the entire screen. Also, clicking stoped it most times, but it doesn't activate what I clicked on. This is especially annoying in Click-And-Drag occastions, where I will attempt to click and drag several times, finally have the item acknowledge that I've performed said action, only to have me not see it in time and release the mouse button (My own fault I know, but still aggrevateing)
I haven't attempted to uninstall/reinstall or use another browser yet... I was going to attempt to try other browsers after posting this (Because honestly, I much prefer Firefox to IE), and no where else I've looked have had any information about this issue.
Thank you in advance for any assistence redered.

Interesting that Chrome is fine. You might consider creating a new profile for Firefox. This seems to help all sorts of problems.

Issues with Adobe Flash on a Mac

I got my Mac back in November. I downloaded Flash Player right away so that I could watch videos. Everything has gone smoothly until about a week ago, when my youtube videos started playing severely choppy. The sound is off and you can't even really watch the videos because everything is moving so slowly and is so off. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, and that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

G505s: Adobe Flash Games Running Laggy & How to Enable Dual Mode?

I keep hearing about how the G505s has a dual graphics mode.
What confuses me is that when I am playing some adobe flash games online, I am noticing considerable lag, while some Win8 App games and MMOs run perfectly fine along with having quality graphics, there is no lag.
Why would certain flash games online, (I can give you the links, if you would like), gives noticeable lag while other high end MMO games run ok?
Also, I'm confused on how to access/enable dual graphics mode. What I am thinking is that my computer is using the basic video card, and I would like to switch to the advanced/2nd video card.
Is there a fix for this, or is it normal for some games to lag on the G505s?

hi
This Settings I found on Microsoft Site.
Click Start, and then click Internet Explorer.
Click the Tools icon in the upper-right corner, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab, and then under Accelerated graphics, select the Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering check box.
Try this and see if that works,
The Drivers from Lenovo Site I think has not yet been updated, you can still update the two GPU device through the AMD Site. While the Lenovo site gets updated.
Let me know what happened with the steps below,
Best regards

Building complex flash game in Flash Builder 4 - Workflow/Best Practices

I'm investigating switching to Flash Builder 4 for building a complex game that currently lives purely inside Flash CS4. CS4 is a pretty terrible source code editor and debugger. It's also quite unstable. Many crashes caused by bad behavior in the SWF will take out the entire IDE so are almost impossible to debug. And I've heard other horror stories. To be clear, for this project I'm not interested in the Flex API, just the IDE.
Surprisingly, it seems Flash Builder 4 isn't really set up for this type of development. I was hoping for an "Import FLA" option that would import my Document Class, set it as the main entry point, and figure out where other assets live and construct a new project. What is the best workflow for developing a project like this?
What I tried:
-Create a new Actionscript Project in the same directory where my CS4 lives
-Set the primary source file to match the original project's source file and location
-Set my main FLA as "export to SWC", and added "SWC PATH" to my flash builder 4 project.
-Compile and run.. received many errors due to references to stage instance. I changed these to GetChildByName("stagename"). Instead, should I declare them as members of the main class? (this would mimic what flash CS4 does).
-My project already streams in several external SWF's. I set these to "Export SWC" to get compile-time access to classes and varaibles. This works fine in cs4, the loaded SWF's behave as if they were in the native project. Is the same recommended with FB4?
-Should I also be setting the primary FLA as "export to swc"? If not, how do I reference it from flex, and how does flex know which fla it should construct the main stage with?
Problems:
-I'm getting a crash inside a class that is compiled in one of the external SWF's (with SWC). I cannot see source code for the stack inside this class at all. I CAN see member variables of the class, so symbol information exists. And I do see the stack with correct function names. I even see local variables and function parameters in the watch window! But no source. Is this a known bug, or "by design"? Is there a workaround? The class is compiled into the main project, but I still cannot see source. If FLEX doesn't support source level debugging of SWC's, then it's pretty useless to me. The project cannot live as a single SWF. It needs to be streaming and modular for performance and also work flow. I can see source just fine when debugging the exact same SWC/SWF through CS4.
-What is the expected workflow with artists/designers working on the project? Currently they just have access to all the latest source, and to test changes they run right through flash. Will they be required to license Flash Builder as well so they can test changes? Or should I be distributing the main "engine" as a SWF, and having it reference other SWF files that artists can work on? They they compile their SWF in CS4, and to test the game, they can load the SWF I distribute.
A whitepaper on this would be awesome, since I think a lot of folks are trying to go this direction. I spent a long time searching the web and there is quite a bit of confusion on this issue, and various hacks/tricks to make things work. Most of the information is stale from old releases (AS2!).
If a clean workflow I would happily adopt Flash Builder 4 as the new development tool for all the programmers. It's a really impressive IDE with solid performance, functional intellisense, a rich and configurable interface, a responsive debugger..I could go on and on. One request is shipping with "visual studio keyboard layout" for us C++ nerds.
Thanks very much for reading this novel!

Flash builder debugging is a go! Boy, I feel a bit stupid, you nailed the problem Jason - I didn't have "Permit Debugging set". I didn't catch it because debugging worked fine in CS4 because, well, CS4 doesn't obey this flag, even for externally loaded SWF files (I think as long as it has direct access to the SWC). Ugh.
I can now run my entire, multi SWF, complex project through FB with minimal changes. One question I do have:
In order to instantiate stage instances and call the constructor of the document class, I currently load the SWF file with LoaderContext. I'm not even exporting an SWC for the main FLA (though I may, to get better intellisense). Is this the correct way of doing it? Or should I be using , or some other method to pull it into flex? They seem to do the same thing.
The one awful part about this workflow is that since almost all of my code is currently tied to symbols, and lives in the SWF, any change i make to code must first be recompiled in CS4, then I have to switch back to FB. I'm going to over time restructure the whole code base to remove the dependency of having library symbols derive from my own custom classes. It's just a terrible work flow for both programmers and artists alike. CS5 will make this better, but still not great. Having a clean code base and abstracted away assets that hold no dependencies on the code seems like the way to go with flash. Realistically, in a complex project, artists/designers don't know how to correctly set up symbols to drive from classes anyway, it must be done by a programmer. This will allow for tighter error checking and less guess work. Any thoughts on this?
Would love to beta test CS5 FYI seeing as it solves some of these issues.

How are you launching the debug session from Flash Builder? Which SWF are you pointing to?
Here's what I did:
1) I imported your project (File > Import > General > Existing project...)
2) Create a launch configuration (Run > Debug Configuration) as a Web Application pointing to the FlexSwcBug project
3) In the launch config, under "URL or path to launch" I unchecked "use default" and selected the SWF you built (I assume from Flash Pro C:\Users\labuser\Documents\FLAs\FlexSwcBug\FlexSwcBugCopy\src\AdobeBugExample_M ain.swf)
4) Running that SWF, I get a warning "SWF Not Compiled for Debugging"
5) No problem here. I opened Flash Professional to re-publish the SWF with "Permit debugging" on
6) Back In Flash Builder, I re-ran my launch configuration and I hit the breakpoint just fine
It's possible that you launched the wrong SWF here. It looks like you setup DocumentClass as a runnable application. This creates a DocumentClass.swf in the bin-debug folder and by default, that's what Flash Builder will create a run config for. That's not the SWF you want.
In AdobeBugExample_Main.swc, I don't see where classCrashExternal is defined. I see that classCrashMainExample is the class and symbol name for the blue pentagon. Flash Builder reads the SWC fine for me. I'm able to get code hinting for both classes in the SWC.

Do you have to pay royalty fees to use mp3 files in a Flash game?

I'm looking at developing a Flash game but I am aware there are licensing fees involved with using mp3 files, and we seem to only be able to use mp3 files through Actionscript and Flashpunk. So my question is, will we have to pay any royalty fees, or does Adobe have that covered?

Regarding i-tunes match, a lot of music in my library is burned CDs (mostly imports) some "well most" are not available on i-Tunes U.S. So, if I use this service, I am thinking the majority of my library will not be available to sync on all my devices. Is this a proper assumption.
No. The idea of iTunes Match is that everything in your library is available to sync.
If it does match, the song in iTunes store is used.
If it does not match, the song on your computer is used and that is uploaded to the cloud to sync to yoru devices.
iCloud is not available for Mac OS previous to Lion.
Which Mac/OS do you currently have?

Possible hacks in flash game

I've been working on a flash game and it is live on
http://www.3days2go.nl
The problem is, that somehow, a few people seem to be able to
get impossible scores.
We have tested on various machines with various browsers but
can't seem to find the loophole some of our players have found.
Please try to hack/cheat this game. And if you succeed to get
a score close to 2900 points, please let me know how you achieved
it.
Some standard measures we have taken to make the game secure
is:
- test if the game is run from the original domain
- test if the game is run locally or in the browser
- check start and stop time of the game, against the total
play time (they are seperately measured)
- internally test the achieved score with a control number
before sending it to the server, to make sure it isn't tampered
with.
- send all data to the server through ghostwire
- encrypt the score before sending with ghostwire
I suspect the problem coming from some timing differences
between PC/Browser/Plug-in configurations.
Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas.
Gert-Jan Brok

it seems that difference in framerate accuracy on different
platforms with different Flash Player versions is the problem.
Fluctuations in internal Flash timers are at the core of the
problem.
