Activate Flash Content in IE
Hi,
I have a flash content in my webpage, when viewed online
particularly in Internet Explorer, it prompts for User Input to
activate that flash component. I searched in the forums and there
are few Java Scripts available. Few are only IE version specific
scripts.
Is there a common script / method to markup the webpage so
that IE understands that there is a flash content that doesn't
require user input to view or interact with ?
Thanks in advance.

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
several
years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
(Flash, Quicktime
etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already
built into DW's

When exporting my indesign file to an interactive pdf i get the following problem:
I open the pdf, when there is flash content , i can set the properties for it to be visible when the page is opened, that is what i want. When i then save the pdf other user do no longer have to 'enable' the flash content so that it looks embedded in the document (because people otherwise would just miss it ).
Now I have a PDF with over 60 pages off flash content, so i have to enable page per page , and when the client asks for a little adjustment, be it 1 word, i re-save the pdf, it loses al those settings (the properties per flash in acrobat ) , so my questions is : how can i enable all this content 1 one time, in acrobat or indesign, because this is a terrible workaround.
Thank you!Windows 7
Indesign CC 2014 (latest)
Adobe acrobat XI , version 11.0.0
Flash is installed (otherwise i would not be able to activate the content i guess ? )
Thank you -
Flash content no longer playable??
I've noticed all of a sudden that QuickTime no longer plays Flash content. It did until not so long ago.
I know there was an option to activate Flash support, according to the Quicktime Help files, this is supposed to be found in System Preferences\Quicktime\Advanced. I'm quite confident it was there (I had to go and activate the switch when playback became optional, was it in QT6 or QT7?).
It's gone.
It's as if Flash playback never existed...
The weird thing is that I'm still at 7.3.1 . I've seen enough problems with 7.4 that I decided to wait out at least 7.4.1 . I seem to recall that 7.3.1 was still quite young when 7.4 came out, is it possible that the Flash issue was introduced in 7.3.1 and I just didn't notice it before?My apologies - I overlooked that IS your thread!
As for permissions:
What are permissions?
Every file and folder on a Mac OS X hard drive has a set of permissions—settings that determine which user(s) have access to each item, and exactly what that access is. For example, permissions dictate whether or not a particular user can open and edit a particular file. But permissions also determine which items the operating system—or specific parts of it—can access and modify, and which files are accessible by applications.
What does repairing permissions do?
The Repair Disk Permissions function—the process that actually performs the task of repairing permissions—examines certain files and folders on your Mac’s hard drive to see if their current permissions settings are what Mac OS X expects them to be; if discrepancies are found, the offending permissions are changed to match the expected settings.
(In Mac OS X 10.3 and later, repairing permissions also performs one other, unrelated, task: If the invisible /tmp symbolic link—which is linked to the /private/tmp directory—is missing, the link will be recreated.)
Why is it necessary to repair permissions?
If permissions on particular files are “incorrect”—i.e., not what Mac OS X expects them to be or not what they need to be for your Mac’s normal operation—you can experience problems when the operating system tries to access or modify those files. For example, you may have trouble logging in to your account, printing, launching applications, or even starting up your Mac. Similarly, if an application—from Apple or a third-party developer—needs access to a particular file or folder to function, and the permissions on that item have changed in a way that prevents such access, the application may not function properly (or at all). The Repair Disk Permissions function can fix such problems by ensuring that certain files have the correct permissions.
There’s also a security element here: Many system-level files have permissions set a particular way so that applications or users that shouldn’t be meddling with those files can’t. If the permissions on certain system-level files somehow get changed so that access to those files is no longer restricted, you’ve got the potential for a major security issue. Repairing permissions can resolve such issues by resetting permissions on those files to prevent unauthorized access.
How do I repair permissions?
The Repair Disk Permissions function is part of Apple’s Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). After launching Disk Utility, select the desired disk—generally your startup disk—in the list to the left, then click the First Aid tab. At the bottom of the First Aid panel, click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (You could instead use the Verify Disk Permissions option to preview any potential repairs before performing them, but for most users there’s little benefit from this extra step.)
Permissions can also be repaired via the shell (Terminal) by using the command sudo diskutil repairPermissions /. However, it’s unlikely that the typical user will ever need to perform the task in this manner. It’s useful if for some reason Disk Utility itself won’t launch, or for repairing permissions on a remote Mac when connected via Remote Login (SSH), but otherwise you’re just as well served using Disk Utility.
How does the Repair Disk Permissions function know what the “correct” permissions are?
When you use Apple’s Installer utility to install software (such as Mac OS X itself or an OS X update), the installation package (the .pkg file you double-click to begin installation, or that Software Update downloads in the background for an automatic installation) generally leaves behind a receipt—a smaller Mac OS X package that includes information about every file installed, including the permissions each file should have. This receipt is placed in /Library/Receipts. When you run the Repair Disk Permissions function, it examines the receipts in the /Library/Receipts directory of the disk being repaired—which means the feature works only on volumes with Mac OS X installed—and compares the information in the receipt with the actual files on your drive. If the Repair Disk Permissions function finds a file with permissions that differ from what a receipt claims they should be, that file’s permissions are reset to their receipt-specified values. (If you’re curious about the information contained in a receipt, the easiest way to view it is to use the utility Pacifist; simply drag and drop the appropriate receipt into the Pacifist window and you’ll be presented with a list of all files installed by the similarly-named installation package, along with each file’s original permissions.)
It’s worth noting here that although the function is called “Repair Disk Permissions,” what is actually happening is that files’ permissions are being reset or restored to a particular state. It’s possible—though not common—for a particular file’s permissions to differ from what a receipt claims they should be without those permissions actually being “broken.”
Are all files affected by Repair Disk Permissions?
No. As you may have inferred from the above description, only those files installed using OS X’s Installer utility and whose installation packages leave behind a proper receipt in /Library/Receipts are affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function. This means that most of the files affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function are system-level files, application files, or system add-ons—not applications installed by drag-and-drop, and not your documents or other user-level files.
If repairing permissions is useful in general, why doesn’t Apple recommend it as routine maintenance?
Apple does, quite explicitly:
It’s a good idea to repair disk permissions as a regular maintenance task after upgrading or installing new software.
That’s taken from Mac Help—in both Panther and Tiger—right on your Mac. Similar statements can be found in other Support articles, one of which is:

"Allow Third-Party Flash Content to Store" possible as a Linux user?
Hello,
is it possible to activative the option "Allow Third-Party
Flash Content to Store" on the "Global Storage Settings" panel if
you are starting a webbrowser as a normal user under Linux? At the
moment it is only possible for me if I start my Firefox (or Opera,
Konqueror) with root priviileges. Do I have to change the rights of
a certain folder or something like that?
The reason why I ask is that I noticed that you can activate
sound in YouTube Videos only if you activate Flash Cookies.
My Flash Player version is the current one, version 9. I use
Kubuntu 7.10, if it is of any importance.
Thanks for any help
UltraBreytenOK, I solved it. There is a hidden .macromedia folder in the
home folder, where the youtube sound settings are stored.
Everything in the macromedia folder was set as root. I simply
deleted the .macromedia folder, it was recreated with user rights
when I came back to youtube. -
Accordion flickers with Flash content
I think this is a known bug for accordion but I haven't seen
any solution for this yet.
The problem is accordion flickers if you have Flash content
inside the div, if it's just text, then it is ok. This happens on
all major browser including Firefox, IE, Safari...i had a similar problem - not the same.
it was solved magically when i added a JS file to solve a
completely different problem.
the script i added terminates the annoying 'click to activate
this control' on MS IE for flash content. you can find sciprts like
that on the web.
maybe you should try this to see if it works for you. -
Same issue for a year now with watching Flash content, nothing has changed
One of my main gripes about Safari, is that while I am watching a flash movie in one safari window and have another safari window open typing, doing work etc., the flash video stutters in the first window (looks like it is evenly dropping frames incrementally) . Sound is fine, no prob there.
It doesn't matter what flash video it is, from whatever site, it will always do this... and it is very annoying. When using Safari, do I really have to be using one open window, while watching the Falsh content so it is smooth like it was designed to be?
Now on the other hand i do not have this problem in Firefox. I can have two windows open, one playing flash content and I will have it sized down in the left hand corner of my screen, and have another window open which I am typing in, and have no reduciton in quality...whatsoever.
I have tried everything possible, I am not a new mac user , and I am familiar with every suggestion one would suggest here as a starting point. Regarding, Permissions, trashing folders, resarting, re-installing combo updates, un-installing flash, re-installing flash; etc, etc.
ThanksThanks for the the speedy reply. And thank you for all your suggestions about standard plugins and the current plugins now available to the user. I am familiar with them, etc. i have also restarted,
"repaired premissions" etc. Yes, I am current in OS, Flash, all plugins you speak of, etc. Combo update has been re-applied, flash un-installed, then re-installed...etc, etc..
I have attemped everything you speak of, and everything I can come up with, but there is no change in my problem.
Can you do something for me? I want you to go onto the youtube website, pick a video to watch and and with only one safari window open, I want you to leave some room on top of browser window so you can see your desktop. Now move your cursor over your desktop, and click on the desktop - which will activate the finder, and Safari will no longer be the chosen app. Do you see the difference in picture quality in the safari window hosting the flash video?
Try it again. Click on the Safari window, then back to the desktop. Vice versa. Everyone I know I have showed this too , sees the obvious difference. My mother says, well I can see what you are talking about, but it doesn't bother me...well, my mother is pretty old, so she doesn't count.
Well, for me The picture quality starts to drop frames evenly through the whole entire video.
Firefox does not do this.
Can anybody else try this,
my system cannot be the casue,
for I have recently re-installed this OS,
and the problem still exists. I am very familiar with updates,
and the like. All the usual suggestions have been applied.
And, If this is just the way it is in Safari, I can live with that...I mean, i live with the memory leaks that it has, and other quirks about it. But, If this is a unique problem , then ..well, I have a problem -
Why is my flash content not working on my dreamweaver created html site?
This is a problem that's happening on my website I'm creating. I created a quick test website to show you the problem on the fourm. It's the same problem, and if you can provide the solution to this test website I can apply it to my main website.
Test website on server:
test331754952.net23.net
What I did:
-launched flash
-typed "test" and made it spin 360 degrees
-published swf
-launched dreamweaver
-created a site
-moved swf to site folder
-saved a html file to the site folder
-in dreamweaver, went to insert, media, swf, then selected the swf I made
-it inserted the swf, creating a gray placeholder for it
-re-saved the html document, at which point dreamweaver created a folder named script and 2 files, an swf, and a javascript file
Site Directory:
Scripts Sub-Directory:
What happens:
-when I launch the swf on my machine, it plays fine
-when I open the swf directly on the test website on the server, it plays fine
-when I open the html with the embended swf on the test website on the server, it shows a gray box, then goes white
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in browser and choose internet explorer, it tells me I don't have new flashplayer(I do: flashplayer 11)
Ie also pokes up a box at the bottom that says its not allowing content. When I click allow content, it creates a gray box
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in borwser and choose google chrome, it tells me flash player has stopped a potentionally unsafe operation. When I close this dialog box, it gives me a gray box where my swf should be embeded.
-I've tried changing global flash secuirty setting and it does nothing
-I've tried visiting the test website on multiple computers in my household to no avail
-I've tried having friends visit the site on their computer at their house to no avail
-I did't touch the code on this test website-the code is exactly what dreamweaver generated

Can someone please help! I've looked and tried prety much everything. If you can provide a solution I would GREATLY apreciate it!There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).

Flash contents not being displayed on the published Apex application URL
I've had to publish one of my apex application through an bluecoat proxy to reach my Oracle HTTP server. It works fantastic for everything - except my flash charts. Flash contents are not getting loaded.Issue is only in the published application URL,the same application is working fine internally without proxy.
Does anyone have any idea why this is failing and how I might fix this?.The bluecoat support enginner is having the following findings
I am seeing some strange behavior when the browser goes through the
proxy vs when it does not.
When the browser uses the proxy the last thing it requests is the
following(packet 354):
GET /i/themes/theme_20/btn-bg.gif HTTP/1.1 Via: 1.1 GITS6ISA Cookie:

That is the browser requests
http://ithelpdesk.anupcomp.ae/i/themes/theme_20/btn-bg.gif and gets a
200 ok from the proxy/server.
When the browser does not use the proxy I see the following
behavior(packet 2783):
The browser requests
http://anupserver:7777/i/themes/theme_20/btn-bg.gif 2 times, each time
the server responds with a 304 not modified status, this means the
browser has the most recent copy of the .gif file. The browser finally
does a post to http://anupserver:7777/pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept. Given
that the browser gets a 200 ok response from the proxy when requesting
http://ithelpdesk.anupcomp.ae/i/themes/theme_20/btn-bg.gif and then
stops requesting data, we need to understand why the browser is behaving
differently without the proxy(i.e. why does it request the content 2
times and why is it doing the post). The interaction between the
browser and the proxy appears normal, a 200 ok response with content is
normal, why does the browser stop requesting content?

Problem with Left Click (mighty mouse) and flash content
Hi, first sorry for my bad english...
Well I have an issue with the left click (i have mighty mouse) and flash content in Firefox:
if i'm using Firefox and then change to any other app, when i get back to firefox i have no left click anymore...
So i have to open the mouse setting panel and everything works fine again...
I don't want to open the mouse panel over and over again to fix that, so what i can do?
THANKS in advance =)
I uploaded a video to show the issue:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROWSod5fUjk
Mighty mouse Settings:
Left Click + Right Click
Firefox ver: 3.5.5
Snow Leopard: 10.6.2
iMac 24" (iMac9,1)
Message was edited by: MaLk GopherHi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there... -
Flash content distorts when scrolling and switching tabs.. since FF 13.0.1..
Before describing the issue
Please note from the System Details pane to this post that I have the latest flash, etc.
And Windows updates,are up to date.
==================================================
Issue: Scrolling distorts flash player window (Youtube, hulu, etc.)
Since: FF 13.0.1 update in June. (I posted on the issue under "badly scrambled images".)
Problem is still there with FF 14.0.1
This distortion happens:
# even with just starting the browser (so no bloated cache)
# even with just only one or two tabs open.
And since last week's update to FF 14.01, I have also detected:
Switching to the the tab with flash content will "imprint" the image from the my previous tab on to the flash player. I have to scroll or refresh to get the flash player to show its content.
FYI, none of these flash player problems occur with IE9.
The advise from a regular contributor was to turn off hardware acceleration, but these did not solve this issue.:(
Solutions suggesting disabling all the plugins etc. have not solved the problem either.
So if you can tell me some other way to solve this, I will appreciate it.
Thanks.

(Please refer to sidebar on the original post for system details.)
I have reset the profile and updated the Nvidia driver. The version of FF is 14.0.1. But it still scrambles the pictures.
On top of scrambling the flash content when scrolling, it has additional problems:
As you can see from the attached image, another tab's content is showing on the youtube flash player. This happens when I have paused the video even for a short time.
I have a suspicion that the combination of Flash and Firefox does some weird things to graphic processing and memory.
(I realize that IE implements Flash differently, but they seem to have this right.)
I might just have to say goodbye to Firefox for a while.
Thanks. -
Web Part with Flash Content is not working in IE only
Hi All,
I have created on Visual WebPart its contain a flash embed object i am trying load this flash component inside the Iframe.
unfortunatly its not working in IE 11 version but its working fine with other browser like Mozila and Chorme.
I referred the other links like but its not helped me to solve this issue. i have tried without iframe alos its not working if its a standalone web page out side the shrepoint working fine.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/c88466ba-bd00-4cd3-a7cf-3a9a7eee7f51/flash-content-not-working-in-ie-11?forum=ieitprocurrentver
Thanks
SUJIL KUMAR T
Software developerHi,
As the custom web part works well in other browsers, the issue may be related to the IE itself.
Have you tried the methods below?
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works.
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites->add the site into the zone
What’s more, you can also switch the Document mode to IE 10 or lower to check whether it works.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Upgraded to Flash 9 on OS 10.4.11 -- cannot view flash content
Hi All! I recently upgraded Flash to v. 9 and can no longer
view any Flash content online. No error messages - just blank space
where video clip would normally be. Shortly before I noticed these
problems, I also upgraded Quicktime. I've seen comments online
about going into System Preferences > Quicktime > Advanced
> MIME Settings > Miscelaneous. I was told to uncheck the
Flash in the list, but don't see Flash listed there. I'm not sure
if there is some conflict with Quicktime or if that upgrade is
unrelated? Any advice would be appreciated! SueI am having the same problem. When I installed The new Flash
Player it said it was installed successfully. But I don't see the
movie, just the (F) flash logo. When I go to pbskids.org to run
flash content, it says I need the Flash Player?? -
Flash Content on the BBC in Safari 5.0.6
This question applies to my G5 2.5 gHz Tower running Safari 5.0.6. and an issue with Flash content on the BBC News website.
I often the BBC News website, and until a few months ago was able to play all of their video content. For some inexplicable reason their website now tells me I do not have the minimum Flash version (10.1.0) for playback. However, I do have the minimum Flash installation (v.10.1.102.64) as confirmed by the Adobe web site, and, seconded by the simple fact that Firefox 3.6.25 on the very same computer does play all the content at the BBC News web site and fails to generate any warnings.
So, Mac gurus and assorted experts who have earned my depest respect... what's going on? I have written to those in charge of the BBC News web site and indications are they probably didn't read my message past the subject line as they proceeded to ask me all the questions they'd have had answers to by reading my message in the first place. In short, they asked me to upgrade to Flash 10.1.0... so that route is not going solve my problem.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks...BBC iPlayer relies on Adobe Air. AIR 1.5.3 is the last version of AIR that supports Mac PowerPC and Windows 2000. AIR applications that require AIR 2 or later cannot be installed or used on a Macintosh PowerPC or a computer running the Windows 2000 operating system.

I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine. -
Windows 8 freezes while I try to watch online Flash content and running Audition CS6
I recently bought a online introduction course to Auditon CS6 on Vimeo.com
While I have a setup where I put the lecture on one screen and the program on the other I like to follow tutorials and learn how to use software.
However this proves to be impossible for me in Audition, because for some reason my computer gets completely unresponsive after a little while of watching the lectures with Audition running.
It never happens when Audition hasn't been launched, and I'm kind of suspecting a driver conflict, but I don't have a fancy audio card in my computer, (just built in Realtek,) and find it a bit
odd that it wouldn't be supported as it is some of the most common audio setups around. As far as I know the system runs stable with Audition running and no Flash content started as well.
This has happened for the last couple of months and I've updated Flash and drivers as they roll out. Audition CS6 is downloaded with the Creative Cloud application Manager.
Here is some general info on my computer:
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.
Motherboard: eVGA x58 Classified (Tried with stock BIOS and also updated to new BIOS)
Audio Card: Realtek (on motherboard)
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti
The system storage device is a SSD (Firmware recently updated due to BSODs apearing, and seems to be resolved.)
I do believe that this might not be a Audition issue, but rather a issue with Flash. However Audition + Flash reproduces this problem faster than anything else I can remember this happening while
using other 3rd party software while playing Flash. (Not exactly the type of software.) I have a suspicion that it is something that occurs if Flash and other programs is paging/wiring/reading the SSD...
I can't remember this happening with Photoshop or other Adobe software, and so I'm also curious to how different Audition runs "under the hood" so to speak. What is it constantly checking
that could lead to a hardware conflict.A month ago I uninstalled AVG Internet security from my computer making it a lot less potent to BSODs in general, (can't reacall having any.) So today I thought I'd try to learn some more Audition. I could Sit with it for a good while just playing around with recordings and settings and my system didn't react weirdly at all. So the next step was of course to try and load some of the Udemy lectures I had waiting.
As the video was buffering I turned away from the computer for a while, but when I came back it had completely froze up again... I don't think I've ever had a BSOD in this context either, instead of going into BSOD the computer just stops responding completely.
(I'm using the latest version of Flash, tried with both Firefox and Chrome.)
I'm thinking this is a very niche bug and I can't seem to se that it can be anything but a conflict with Flash. Weither it's a memory leek or what ever it is.
I can use Audition fine on my computer it seems, as long as I never start a browser in risk of loading a Flash application, (which would be fine if I was avid, but I need some lectures to get started.)
Nothing really seems to be overloaded (RAM/CPU) before the freeze ocurs either.
I don't really know where or how to adress this to the Flash Player forum/community, (or if there is one.)
Thanks.
