Adobe announced death of Flash

You can check out ZDnet's story here
Why did Adobe decided to stop working on Flash is beyond me. Instead of making progress on it they stop.
These news will immediately stop people from learning this technology, 2012 will be year when Adobe officially ruined future of Flash. I wish Macromedia was it's own company.
With even small part of truth in this, people will start moving to using only and only HTML5 & JavaScript. <-- when people smell just little bit about something is going down, avalanche then happens and everyone will use something else, that's called "you signed your own death sentence".
No matter what we say with this action Adobe admitted to Apple we had ****** product and announced deah to this tool. This is good way how you want to ruin something in your company.
Adobe thinks they will be popular with tools for HTML5, there are many other tools that can do HTML5, beside we (developers) do a lot of hand coding too. I already see Adobe's stocks going down.
Nice "Job" Adobe !

Flash as technology will be over in max 2 years from now. Adobe just won't tell you that because of Stock market.

Hello,
Adobe has a very detailed roadmap for the Flash technology. Appreciate you posting your conerns, but do read the following white paper to understand more about our plans for Flash:

Please let us know if you have any questions at all.

mentioned roadmap in short: Before that Flash could do anything. From now one Flash will do only two things - games and video on demand. That's all folks. In the world where technology is worth as much as number of platforms on which it is deployable I can say, Flash is walking its Green Mile.

[TECHNOTE ANNOUNCE] Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)

All,
I've published a new technote for folks who are having trouble with the Adobe Download Manager and Flash Player.
Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51258.html
Essentially this technote links to the Windows troubleshooting technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166
However, before today the Windows troubleshooting technote only had an EXE install for the ActiveX version of Flash Player 10. I have now added a link to download the EXE version of the Flash Player Plugin installer as well.
Please point other users with integrity check errors to the first technote.

Thank you for the update & Tech Note Announcement. I do have a couple of questions, if you could please respond.
After uninstalling and ready to download; reading from the link you provided on 9/4/09, Should we follow the normal download instructions
per #2. "Flash Player download Center" and if a successful installation is not accomplished, THEN, go to "download and unzip install_Flash_Player_10_Plugin (all other windows browsers) ? Or should the latter step be done in lieu of #2 mentioned. I am assuming the download from F.P. D.L. Center would be done first and then troubleshoot by running the EXE. version of the F.P. Plugin installer.
Experience has taught me not to assume much, and if you don't know, ask!
Thanks for your hard work, but you have to admit, for the technically deprived, it is frustrating and confusing.

Correction: Adobe Labs Ideas for Flash Catalyst

Link shown in Adobe Labs Ideas for Flash Catalyst announcement above (http://idea.adobe.com/labs) is incorrect. Correct link appears to be: http://ideas.adobe.com/labs

Have you tried downloading it directly from Adobe and installing it? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Try and see if it will install. If not, reply back.

How do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?????

how do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?

I don't know if this will work; it will certainly not create a "portable" Adobe Reader.
But it may install on the flash driver, to be used only on the computer that installed it.
Download and run the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
On the Reader setup panel, click on 'Change Destination Folder' and select your flash drive.
Let us know how that goes; I am curious...

I desire to know how to install Adobe Reader on a flash drive.

My desk top computer is older & does not have internet access.
I would like to install free Adobe Reader on a flash drive while on my lap top that has internet access & then install it on my desk top.
Is this possible & if so How do I do it?
[ email address removed by forum host ]

You can download the installer file from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and copy it onto your Flash drive. Be sure to select the right version for the operating system on your desktop computer.

Source locator does not exist: com.adobe.flexbuilder.debug.sourceLookupDirector.flash

I'm using FB4 under OSX and for the longest time it refused to load and just displayed errors instead of panes. Nothing that I could find would fix it (including reinstalling). Well, it looks like that problem has been resolved in some update, because it has gone away, and I can go back to viewing projects.
The problem is now when I try to build the project I get the error:
Source locator does not exist: com.adobe.flexbuilder.debug.sourceLookupDirector.flash
Any ideas? My familiarity of eclipse is pretty limited and I don't know what a source locator is. TIA.

Hi,
Looks like those classes are missing from your Flash Builder installation.
Can you check in installdir/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.debug.xxx/com/adobe/flexbuilder/debug/
If those files are missing, do a complete uninstall and then install.

Adobe web photo gallery - flash gallery 2

I'm using the adobe web photo gallery, flash gallery 2 and I
want to slow down the time it takes for each photo to fade in. I'm
referring to the part that after the image preloader is done and
when the image is transitioning from white into the full image.
I've gone through the code but to no avail. Can someone help me
with this? Thanks!

Most CS3 Web Photo Gallery Templates are flash free. They use straight HTML. Even the ones the change images automatically just use HTML to refresh the page displayed and change the page to the next image. The Photoshop Web Gallery Template can be edited and customized to better suit your needs. Adobe has removed Photoshop's Photo Web Galleries from newer version of Photoshop however the Feature can be installed into the newer Photoshop versions. Adobe added an output module to the Bridge that can create Web Photo Galleries these are mostly Flash based and not easily customized like Photoshop's old Web Photo Gallery templates.
IMO there is nothing wrong with Flash Web Galleries other then mobile tablets and phone do not have flash support. I have yet to see any HTML 5 web gallery with features that match Flash Galleries. I'm not a fan of Flash web sites or Flash games. However there are many Flash web photo galleries that perform well and have great features. I do not particularly want to display my images on small web phones. If you want to see them on a tablet get a windows 8 pro tablet they should have flash support. I put large images in Web Photo galleries fitted for 1600x1200 displays and count on flash to resize them for the users browsers window.
Here is an example of a Flash web photo gallery. It contains 8 or 9 albums some with additional feature enabled. All generated in Photoshop with a custom script. http://www.mouseprints.net/albums/
Resize your browser window see the image sizes change use the menu in the bottom of the browsers window to change album and try full screen support. I only use Flash for Web Photo Galleries. I'm not selling so I do not need IOS and Android support.

Installation Media for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash without Extra Software

Is there a Installation Media format for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash which does not have McAfee, Google Chrome or Google Toolbar associated with the installation? This deployment is for a IT department. We do not want Google Chrome, Toolbar, or McAfee installed on our workstation, and we want to prevent our users from installing them when performing the upgrades to newer versions. We want installation media without the extra software for deployment. Does Adobe supply these?

Re The first Link:
Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
I have done this. I just need the refund that was mentioned on the bottom of the page that I have already cancelled on. None of the other links on that page are relevant and none mention the word "Refund"
Re; The second link, is this a UK 0800 number or a US Number? I am in the UK. Will I be on hold for 32 minutes again if I ring this number?

I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

Overlaying adobe air sdk in flash builder 4.6

After overlaying adobe air sdk in flash builder 4.6 i am getting this error in my flex mobile project "Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigatorApplication> to a component implementation.". I have followed the steps mentioned on this link "http://rubberduckygames.com/how-to-overlay-abode-air-sdk-over-flex-sdk/". Can anyone please suggest me what i need to do in order to get this work.

Finally Figure it out..
geo = new Geolocation();
geo.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE, onLocationUpdate);
has to be executed before checking if it is muted.
geo.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE, onLocationUpdate);
Is what requests permissions from the phone to use the gps.
Hope this saves someone alot of time.
Tested With Flex 4.9.0 Air 3.8 Beta.

I recently downloaded Adobe Bridge CC and Flash Professional CC on the Creative Cloud and I cannot find or access them on the computer - where did they go?

I have the creative cloud that I use for my schooling and I downloaded both Adobe Bridge CC and Flash Professional CC on the Creative Cloud and I cannot find or access them on the computer - where did they go?

Hello,
I only can answer what concerns WIN. By using a file manager I can see, that all my Adobe programs are stored there:
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC aso.

What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Will Adobe ever introduce iPhone Flash?

With the Apple SDK releasing in Feburary, I was wondering if
Adobe is working on a Flash player for the iPhone Safari Web
browser. I did a search, both on google, and on these forums and
couldn't find an official answer. Can anyone from Adobe address
this as its pretty much the only thing stopping iPhone from having
a true Internet experience.
Please Adobe, please make a flash player for iPhone/iPod
Touch.
Thanks
Aaquib

after 5 months no news from Adobe in what they will want to do

As a developer for educational software, nearly 30 percent of
our faculty has switched over to the iPhone and students out number
the faculty with iPHones and iPod Touch. This is the platform to
build for. There is no other phone that can deliver what Apple has
built. It is clear that that you are made about YouTube that Google
dropped Flash in favor of .H264.
robert
Flash hasn't been dropped from the youtube & google
platform, youtube is converting all the videos to H.264.. which can
also be viewed with Flash.
Tbh.. the Iphone Hype will go down in a few months again..
this is just a normal technology marketing hype that always happens
when something new comes out. Nokia is about to release a similar
"iPhone" clone and from what I've seen.. wow...
Btw.. I also own an iPhone, so don't think that I'm blaming
it.
Regarding the Flash Player for the iPhone, I think it's a
problem with Apple then with Adobe, Adobe has FlashLite Players
that can also play video which btw was designed for mobiles.. if
the iPhone can't use a standard technology like flash then it's
their problem.
