Adobe Flash crashes and other questions about Flash

There have been several instances of Adobe Flash crashes whether I am using Firefox, IE or Google Chrome browsers - and simply reloading the page corrects this BUT recurs again and again.
I'm running Windows 8.1 64bit in which the Flash program apparently comes embedded in the OS as a 32/64 bit hybrid. When I inspect the Flash version add-on in Firefox, and run an update check, Adobe reports, correctly, that my system is Windows 64bit , English, Firefox. Then, when I do the same in Windows Internet Explorer by checking the embedded version, I get a message that KB2999249 is available for download to correct Flash issues in IE. Since that install, Flash hasn't crashed in IE [yet].
So, my question is: How can I be certain that when Firefox reports that Flash is "up-to-date" that it is indeed a 64bit compatible version? Note that the Adobe download site only identifies one available version for Firefox, IE and Google - the current version being 15.0.0.152 file: NPSWF32_15_0_0_152.
Does the "32" part of the file name suggest that it is a 32bit application and, if so, where can I find NPSWF64_15_o_o_152 [if it exists]?
''edited the title of this thread to reflect the questions asked''

I now understand the version nuances between the browsers and thanks for the response. Now what, if anything, can I do to address the continuum of Flash crashes since I find it difficult to believe that I'm the only user experiencing this anomaly?

  • TrackControl, Change Track, and others questions about AvTransmit

    Hi there,
    I've got multiples questions about JMF and AvTransmit, hope you will help
    For a small student project, i'm developing a streaming server using JMF, i have used the AvTransmit example.
    Streaming, etc... everything work fine, i stream music over web
    But i need help with "playlist" :
    // Get the tracks from the processor
    TrackControl[] tracks = processor.getTrackControls();
    First Question :
    The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
    At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.
    I'm using a simple class as Playlist (a File[]), and, when i want to change song, i stop the thread, change the MediaLocator with another file, and restart the thread.
    It works on a Lan, but on Internet, Player (I use VLC for my test) lost the connection, i need to restart VLC to get audio again.
    Second Question
    Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?
    Last Question
    I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
    I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
    If someone knows information about this...
    That's all ;)
    Thanks !
    Tommy, french student (sorry for the english)

    First Question :
    The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
    At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.No. The processor uses a MediaLocator to get one file. Files (can) contain multiple tracks.
    You can, in fact, combine the tracks of multiple files together, but, there's no need to do that with your application. AVTransmit2 sends each track as a separate RTP stream, so you'd just be sticking them together just to pull them apart again.
    In general, you want to keep your architecture as one processor per file, one RTP stream per track.
    Second Question
    Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?Yes. It's what I refer to as a jukebox DataSource. I discuss it / explain the concept on this previous thread.
    [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=28&threadID=5400318]
    What you're essentially doing when you change the MediaLocator is starting over from scratch. You end up with a whole new DataSource, whole new Processor, whole new RTP session. On the LAN, this isn't an issue because it looks like you paused the RTP session (because the IP/PORTs don't change).
    Over the internet, though, when you stop sending and restart, you're very likely going to get a new public NAT port. And so when your stream gets to the client, it's going to look like it's from a different person than the original.
    The solution is to use the jukebox datasource to change the media without restarting the Processor or the RTP streams. That'll ensure that your stream won't move between files from the perspective of the client...
    Last Question
    I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
    I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
    If someone knows information about this...Ummmm, your "Playlist" object should just be a Jukebox datasource, so follow the link and figure out how that's supposed to work. If you have questions about it, just ask 'em here (rather than on the older thread)...

  • Verizon iPhone - mobile hotspot and other questions about the data options

    I just ordered the Verizon iPhone. Can anyone explain the options here:
    1) Unlimited corporate email & Web (business and personal email) vs. Unlimited email and web for smartphones (personal email) - what's the difference?
    2) "3G Mobile Hotspot 2GB" - does this mean that there's no way I can share my 3G connection via wifi without paying the extra $20/month?? How about tethering to a single computer (USB, BT, or WiFi) - does that also require this extra option?
    3) equipment protection - what's the difference between Extended Warranty, Asurion Wireless Phone Protection, and Total Equipment Coverage?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Hi
    Regarding your #2 question; yes, you must pay $20/mo to use the 3G Hotspot aspect of the iPhone, same as with any of Verizon's phones that offer this feature such as the Droid X, HTC phones, etc. And, there is NO additional charge to tether it to your computer; it's $20/mo regardless. You can still use the iPhone's WiFi feature to search the web which is part of the regular data plan. We're only talking about paying the $20/mo for the "up to 5 devices" jumping on your phone as a hot spot.
    I'm an Apple fan, have my MacBook Pro, but my phone is a Droid X. I've been a Verizon member since a year before they became Verizon. Additionally, I am part of the Verizon & Motorola test forum; testing new software updates as they come along.
    Something you should know about Verizon's 3G Hot Spot feature; it has issues. Those of us in the Motorola & HTC forums have experienced identical issues with regard to the 3G Hot Spot feature; it disconnects every 2 minutes, even when you are actively surfing the net. Verizon & Motorola Support have been very helpful to provide what they believe are fixes, including: changing the channel, hard resets, clearing cache, etc. It does not work. Most of us believe, this is NOT a Verizon issue, but a phone maker issue.
    I also have Verizon's MiFi 2200. It costs $59/mo and is purely a hot spot device; again up to 5 devices. I use it at home, for my lap top and for those who need connectivity. It outperforms the 3G hot spot feature of the Motorola & HTC phones by leaps & bounds, and I suspect it will out perform the 3G hot spot feature on the iPhone. Additionally, you get 5GB of download with the MiFi which Verizon is planning on offering increases to 8GB & 10GB. There is NO plan to increase the 2GB download limitation on the 3G Hot spot of the iPhone & other phones, and anyone who does basic software downloads & pics, knows 2GBS is not a lot space.
    So, I would recommend not paying the $20 until this is resolved. If you do, you could pay $39 more for a total of $59/mo for the MiFi, download the software to you home computer & notebook, and end up canceling your home internet service. I did this and have saved $70/mo in my total utilities.
    One other important note: Verizon's VZManager Software for their phones & MiFi. If you did pay the $20/mo for the iPhone and decided to tether to your USB port (for power while using) and you were to use the 3G hot spot feature, it will NOT work on 64 Bit computers, regardless if you are using the WiFi feature or directly using VZManager. The MiFi has this same issue. It will only work on 32 Bit when tethered. So, you'd have to reboot your computer to 32 Bit, if you have that ability. On a Macbook Pro, simply restart holding down the "3" & "2" keys.
    I have no idea why Verizon can't simply upgrade the firmware, even recent firmware upgrades have not resolved this. Most new computers are 64 Bit now.
    Despite this, I use my MiFi 100% untethered and carry my charge cord in my bag as it also works on my Droid, and I presume they may do the same for the iPhone; reduces the need for multiple power cords.
    I really looked forward to the 3G feature of the Motorola & HTC phones, but honestly, it's just not there yet; mine was slower than Dial Up, and I'm not kidding.

  • Default values and other questions about MIO-PCI-16E-1

    Hi, I have a few questions involving the above mentioned board.
    First: When doing a data acquisition using an external digital trigger and an external clock, which edge of the clock signal is read by default?
    What is the delay between a STARTSCAN signal being received and a CONVERT signal being generated (signifying an ADC convertion taking place?)
    Finally, what exactly is the sample interval counter? What does it do? This is mentioned on page 4-32 in the E Series DAQ user manual.
    Hopefully these questions aren't too stupid We're designing some custom circuitry to work with the DAQ, and for things to work the timing must be precise. We need ALL the timing details about a single data acquisition t
    hat we can get.
    The system we're running on has Labview 6.0.2, and we are only acquiring data from one analog input.
    Thanks a ton!
    --Randall Cameron

    Hey Randall,
    The internal Scan Clock is a rising edge clock, if you are interested in having the rising edge clock output as high until a scan is complete, please refer here. The internal Convert Clock is always falling edge clock.
    If you are using an external signal, you can specify the polarity of the signal by selecting PFI pin, high to low, or low to high, if you are using the Clock Config VI. The method for setting the polarity changes based on the method of programming the card. And again, I do not know what the digital trigger defaults to, but you can select either polarity.
    The delay between a Scan and a Convert is based on the Convert Clock.
    Ideally, the delay is in the nanosecond range, and then the Convert Clock determines the spacing between any further samples.
    As for the sample interval counter, the following is pasted from page 4-35.
    �The sample interval counter on the PCI E Series device normally generates
    the CONVERT* signal unless you select some external source. The counter
    is started by the STARTSCAN signal and continues to count down and
    reload itself until the scan is finished. It then reloads itself in preparation for
    the next STARTSCAN pulse.�
    So just let us know if you have any questions on getting the polarity set up, or if anything is not fully explained.
    Best regards,
    Justin T.

  • My laptop won't turn on and other questions about it...

    This isn't a problem that is mostly described in imediate forum discussions. My laptop is 5 years old this summer and since day 1 I have had issues with it, especially with the over heating.... Well starting very recently, my computer has decided that whenever its doing work to stop working and freeze up which requires me to force restart it... but now it just stays at the screen.. im sure its a HD problem or something because when i go to the cmd+s screen and attempt to repair it, it says that it's unable to repair. im trying my hardest not to take it into the store. what should i do. ive been told i should just get a new laptop because the generation of mine was infested with system problems with heating up and starting up.

    Hi T,
    No easy way out of that, my friend, sorry. We have other attempts to do.
    It's spread the word that bad super blocks can be repaired with DiskWarrior (http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html).
    But before you do that you can try to connect your friend's mac to yours using a firewire cable and startup your machine in target mode - I think it's done pressing T key after Power button. Once you do this use his Disk Utility to repair you HDD. Other hardly successful attempt that would be really hardly successful even if you are truly lucky for having your machine and your friend's one with the exactly same hardware configuration is carbon copying his HD in a USB external disk, if you can get to this point then connect your usb disk, press and hold OPTION and then press Power button, choose USB happy disk and cross your fingers (I am already feeling bad writing this down, it's a bit sin, all bits concatenated will be in horror) - if you get somewhere from here I must congratulate you.
    And after this nonsense the good advice is for you to buy DiskWarrior and a Snow Leopard, if you can not recover your HDD with that you'll have to take it to repair as a last resource before buying another one.
    Good luck.

  • How, where, and other questions about BC 2.1

    I was in MacOS 10.5.2 and ran software update. It did not tell me of the "new" Bootcamp 2.1 that will make SP3 work on the intel-Mac. So I started up in XP mode and ran Apple Software update, still no mention of the 2.1 update. So then I went to the Apple download page and downloaded the 2.1 update. It is an .exe file. I clicked "RUN" and nothing happened while in XP mode. So what is it. Did it not work for me, or do I not need it because I already had it?
    Apple //GS

    OK that explains why boot camp 2.1 didn't load. It needs Boot Camp 2.0 to pre-exist before it installs.
    You probably installed/upgraded to Leopard on the Mac side however did not update your boot camp drivers on your Windows side. First, you will need to upgrade your 1.4 (beta drivers). Just BOOT IN WINDOWS and insert your Leopard Installation disk in the drive. This should automatically begin to install all the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers.
    Once that is completed then you can run Apple Software Update and it will install the boot camp 2.1 drivers.

  • I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM... I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM? Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?

    I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM...
    I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM?
    Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?
    I've learned  by reading other topics that I can't upgrade my graphics card on my Macbook Pro because it's soldered into the motherboard or somthing like that, but please tell me if there is any way to get more video ram by chaning some setting or upgrading something else. I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
    So the two questions are...
    Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
    Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?
    Other Info:
    I have a quad core i7 Processor.
    My graphcics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
    I am also trying to play games on my BOOTCAMPed side of my mac, or my Windows 7 Professional side.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,
    Dylan

    The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included).  You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
    If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC.  They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.

  • I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

    I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

    If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at  the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade.  Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
    If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
    The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
    Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
    If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
    Just some thoughts.

  • When i use google earth or somebody sends me a message or just simply opening a new tab, it crashes and it takes about 30 seconds to start working again, its not my computer as it is new and it has high spec, any help? thanks

    When i use google earth or somebody sends me a message or just simply opening a new tab, it crashes and it takes about 30 seconds to start working again, its not my computer as it is new and it has high spec, any help? thanks

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • Adobe Ideas Crashes and no Adobe Draw for Iphone...

    Adobe Ideas Crashes and no Adobe Draw for Iphone...I just receive a email stating there will no longer be any support for Adobe Ideas which is fine if you have an alternative which would be Adobe Draw. Now problem number 1 Adobe Ideas is crashing so with that being said we can not use it even if we wanted to being that is the only vector app you offer for the iphone. Adobe is giving a deadline of November 21st. I think Adobe should at-least fix the issue before stating a deadline with adobe ideas or release us a version of Adobe Draw for the iphone this is very frustrating for a long time Adobe users of the apps and programs..you drop the ball on this one ADOBE. very disappointed.

    Wish I could help offhand but I'm on Android (which doesn't have Ideas anymore). Ideas produces vector files, no? Someone at the App Store site mentioned you can open the files produced in Ideas in something like SketchBook Pro (which can, in turn, produce raster file formats like PNG, JPEG and PSD).

  • I have a question about flash website design and google indexing!

    first off i want to say I hate HTML (call it HTM HELL) I love Flash.Im a big propononent of flash.OK about a month ago I built a 100% flash site,told google to crawl it,then come to find out they cant see any text inside images.So I did what i didnt want to do,I took all my hard work down and had to work even harder and created a fully 100% HTM hell site.and just under 4 weeks later google still has my flash site in its cache.the question im trying to get at is if google cant read 100% flash sites whats the point in creating flash sites(mine's a business site.)I want to get into creating flash sites for other people too but if google cant read them how would a person be able to do a search for say what i do:pc repair in google & then my flash site would come up in googles search results.This is potentially costing me lots of money.I dont like "coding" HTML i want to design in flash.HEEEeeelllppp!

    Google can crawl Flash, though I'm not sure how well, but either way nothing can read text that is not text - ie an image. The workaround - and still relevant for all other search engines, is to put all your content inside the div tag that your Flash is written into. The alternate content that one would see if they didn't have Flash, or didn't have JavaScript enabled.
    There is a good tutorial on SEO with Flash on the SWFObject site: http://blog.deconcept.com/2006/03/13/modern-approach-flash-seo/
    You can also just Google 'Flash SEO' and get a good deal of info.
