Acrobat Help /  Flash Player needed link not working

I'm trying to install the flash player addon for Adobe Reader and the links found on the adobe help page are showing error messages. When I try to download the installer, they say "no file found" and are showing
"Not Found
The requested URL /pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_ax.exe was not found on this server."
when the link is opened.  Any advice?  I just need to view an audio file that was embedded in a .pdf.
My computer meets the system requirements, as well.
Thanks.

Hi Tonyae32, I thot I'd link to your other thread which may be helpful since it gives a lot of background on what has been checked.

  • Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

    I'm  using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
    For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash.  Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything.  I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
    Yup.  Nothing.  When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option.  I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
    When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
    Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
    FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
    FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
    genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
    FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
    NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
    KB931433
    FlashInstall
    Install
    Flashplayer.xpt
    When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled.  I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure.  Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled.  The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
    Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website.  I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine.  I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems.  It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
    Any ideas?

    Well, great.  I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it.  No such luck.  The video still plays, but no sound.
    All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players.  I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
    In the Flash folder, I now have:
    Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
    Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
    FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
    Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
    FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
    NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
    And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
    I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
    I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go.  The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
    Now what?  I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

    Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
    I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
    Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
    After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

  • Flash Global Security & Links Not Working?

    Hi all,
    I am absolutely near some sort of breakdown with my Flash website....I really hope someone can help!
    I am building my portfolio website; I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 (on Mac) and inserting Flash animations in the centre of a table in each Dreamweaver page. All was working fine until I built the Contact page animation on Flash last night. I linked in some external websites to my Blog, Flickr and Twitter and also need a button to launch the user's default mail client.
    When I tested the animation (CMD+ENTR) in Flash the links appeared to be working, if after a few clicks. I then inserted the Contact animation into the Contact.html page on Dreamweaver and tested it in Safari. A dialogue box came up regarding something about security settings and Flash 8 (makes no sense as I am using Flash 9); and I ended up on the Global Security Setttings panel page on the Adobe website. I selected the entire folder the website is in on my hard drive under "Trust Files in these Locations". Now the ENTIRE website's flash animations are not working. There are links to internal pages of the site (i.e. a link to the "Contact" page in the animaiton on the Home page) which are now not working either. No error messages come up when I test the movie in CS3 either. I have refreshed Safari, restarted the Mac and redone the folder on the Global Security Settings panel. Also loaded the entire website onto a PC this morning, all links not working either.
    Actionscript 3 on the Contact page looks like this:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    //---Blog Button---\\
    var getBlog: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.myblogsdomain.com");
    Blg_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick);
    function eClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getBlog, "_self");
    //---Twitter Button---\\
    var getTwitter: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.twitter.com/mydomain");
    Twt_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick1);
    function eClick1(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getTwitter, "_self");
    //---Flickr Button---\\
    var getFlickr: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.flickr.com/photos/mydomain");
    Flkr_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick2);
    function eClick2(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getFlickr, "_self");
    //---Email Button---\\
    var getMail: URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
    Eml_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick3);
    function eClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getMail, "_self");
    I'm not 100% sure if the e-mail AS3 I set up is correct, but as none of the links are working I can't test it. I cannot provide a link to the website as it isn't uploaded yet, and I don't really want to upload it not working properly.
    Any help at all would be gratefully received, I'm really, really on the brink of some sort of breakdown. Thanks.

    Thanks Samuel.Wong and Ned Murphy for the information.
    I'm not actually sure what happened but my website suddenly started working again today, I think possibly by selecting "Always Allow" on the Global Security Page as well as inserting every individual file as well as the folder under "Trusted Locations" has also done the trick.
    The external links appear to work when I test the movie in Flash CS3, but the same warning comes up once the movie is inserted into a Dreamweaver html page and tested in Safari. However I think when the links (all except the email ) appear to be working in Flash then it should be just fine once uploaded onto the server. Many thanks for your advice once again.

  • 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
    thanks!

  • After Updating to Flash Player 9 Links stopped working

    After I updated my flash plugin to 9 some of my flash links
    stopped working. Our site uses CMS to upload the flash files. I
    built them using actionscript 2. It's not all of the Swf that were
    affected just some of them, but they were all built the same. On
    release, get URL script. I tried it on a mac and a pc and neither
    worked in firefox, safari, IE, or opera. I did a uninstall and
    installed flash player 8, and everything works again. Its pretty
    random anybody have any ideas?
    Heres the page that does'nt work, but just the pant and
    jacket links, not the ones in the header at the top.
    http://www.sessions.com/snow.php?sid=3&gtype=M

    It's just a regular link.
    on (release) {
    getURL("
    http://www.sessions.com/thumbs.php?psid=204&sid=2&gtype=W",
    "_self");
    I didn' t build the site could it be something in the
    php?

    Hello I need help with this problem quickly.  I have had this problem for the last month and it's driving me crazy.
    I am running Firefox 3.6.10 on a 32 bit on Windows Vista I have tried uninstalling and re installing nothing is working.  I have read through many post and still haven't got any luck please Help. 
    Here are some of the things listed on my system32  Macromed flash
    FLASH 10K.OCX
    FLASH INSTALL
    FLASH PLAYER.XPT
    FLASHUTIL10K_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil10_ActiveX
    FLASHUTIL10k_Plugin
    NPSWF32.DLL
    PLEASE HELP  THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Hi, Just got my Internet connection back! Without knowing what add ons/plugins/extensions you have in FF, it is difficult
    for me to say what else may be conflicting.
    Other than that, your choices are either Uninstall 3.6.10 and Install a version that wasn't giving you a problem. You could Install the FF beta.
    Mozilla has a list of many extensions that conflict with FF if you want that link to look over. One of the other links has to do with other issues that may be helpful.
    Let me know and I'll post those to you.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player installed but not working....

    had a virus 3 days ago which was resolved with assistance from Microsoft.  Now Adobe Flash does not work (when I go to Youtube, it says I do not have the latest version.  I have unistalled, restarted, installed at least 10 times.  Sites still say I need the latest version.  I do see Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X in the programs in my control panel.  I have downloaded version 10.1.102.64.  I am running IE8 (i assume 32-bit since it does not say 64-bit) on Windows Vista.  I have checked the files in my windows/system32/macromed/flash folder and it show the following files:
    Flash Player Trust folder
    Flash10I.ocx
    FlashInstall
    FlashUtil10I_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil10I_ActiveX
    install
    I had turned off my Norton AV and firewall. I have also made sure that all security has been set to medium at that java scripting shows as enabled...
    Flash player still does does not work: says I need to install latest version on websites (youtube etc.)
    HELP!!

    Hi, I see you've been on quite a few forums advocating Firefox & Chrome. All this does is give them a browser that perhaps Flash Player would be performing as it should. But it doesn't solve their issue with IE.
    And referring users to follow procedures meant for another user under different circumstances and computer configurations
    is not in their best interest.
    All you are doing is confusing the person, since the required information about their computer has not been obtained.
    You may want to rethink posting referrals, I could do that myself, since I'm on a lot of threads here.

  • Latest Flash Player Install is not working

    Hello, I need some help please. I have been through the install process at least seven times if not more, all previous versions of flash player have been deleted, and it is not working. Sites that I regularly use are still wanting me to install the software that I know I have installed. Even more frustrating is that there is no other way to contact Adobe about this unless one wants to pay $39 to speak with someone, which I refuse to do when it is their product that is not working right. PLEASE HELP ME!!

    I guess the installer from the main download page was just a downloader, and for whatever reason it didn't work for me.

    Good day all. I'm using the latest firefox 5, win xp pro sp3 and flash 10.3. Now im trying to play a game on facebook and it keeps saying Please update your flash player by clicking HERE.Now i've uninstalled flash with the uninstaller and rebooted and reinstalled. I've tried installing 11.1 beta and that didn't help. I installed both same time and that didn't help. i went to the flash site to see if flash is installed and even though it was installed it kept saying install plugin so i did. Then i had shockwave player 10.3 and flash 11.1 beta. Now i've taken everything off and only got 10.3 on. Of course it still doesn't work. I tried removing that npswf32.dll file but that just tells firefox i don't have flash.

    This is a user forum, and people try to help when they have time and specific ideas about certain problems.  Not everybody of the few regulars is available all the time.
    Posting incomplete information also slows things down considerably, and posting the same problem multiple time only wastes the volunteers' time.
    I will most certainly ignore you if you ever come back in need for help.
    Yip then my post is definitely for people like you. Funny how your reply took a day but my problem was only sorted out 4 days later. I had over 100 views of my post in a few hours. I hardly call that a "few regulars". I think you'd be annoyed if your problem wasn't sorted out either. I think only one person replied which was helpful, the other post i did another one person replied but he was trying to be clever. Multiple posts don't waste volunteers time if noone's replying, now is it? Please think before you post next time, seriously.

  • Flash Player interactive buttons not working

    I have been having this issue for months as far as I can tell. Multiple websites have this problem where I click on a button (not a link) such as a "play" or "share" button and nothing happens. These same buttons work on other computers however. I went to Apple support for help and they told me it was a Flash issue, and led me to your contact page.
    Example websites with problems:
    Searching For Sound - I cannot play the video, I click play and nothing happens
    * Cafe del Mar Chillout Mix May 2014 * by DJ.Jurag | Mixcloud - I cannot press play, share, repost, like, or add. Nothing happens when I click these buttons
    I have tried restarting my computer, reinstalling flash, changing plug-in permissions to "allow",  and trying a new browser to no avail.
    I have submitted this as a bug on your bugbase. The bug # is 3863474 which you can find here, with my computer specs: Bug#3863474 - Flash Player Play Buttons (and other buttons) unresponsive
    I own a Macbook Pro Retina which I bought this summer (2014), late 2013 model with 10.9.5, 16GB RAM, 2.6 Ghz Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB, 1TB Solid State
    Please help.

    I'm assuming you're using Safari. 
    Do you have the same issue with Google Chrome?  http://www.google.com/chrome/
    It uses a significantly different version of Flash Player from the one shared by Safari and FIrefox.  It would also be interesting to know if the issue happens both in Safari and Firefox.

  • Flash Player 11.9 not working after downloaded

    I have downloaded, removed, restarted my computer and redownloaded the latest version of Flash Player. I have cleared the cache and deleted the history. I see that adobe.com recognizes that I have the latest version but when I click on a yahoo news story or other video website it seems that Flash Player is not recognized? It tells me to download Flash Player on my computer. Also, when I search for Flash Player on my computer I can not find it unless I go to the "unistall program" section. I have tried everything I know of. Please help and thank you!!

    Also, when I search for Flash Player on my computer I can not find it unless I go to the "unistall program" section.
    That's because it's a plugin and NOT a program. You can find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed. But if it's in your programs list in the Control Panel's Uninstall a Program section, and you can find the Global Settings manager [Flash Player (32bit)] in the System and Security section of the Control Panel, it's installed.
    Yahoo is one of about a dozen MAJOR sites that have had massive problems with IE11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
