Adobe Flash versus HTML 5

Hi,
I allways liked Adobe Flash for websites but I wonder if it's a good descission to use it these days. Many vendors for tablets and smartphones do not support it.
I'm currently setting up an online busines (http://multimediareviews.net) but I'm hesitating to use it.
Any advice?
Kind regards,
Benjamin

I've moved away from it in my sites, and if you ask in the Dreamweaver Forum (which is really where a question like this belongs), you'll probably hear from several others who have too. HTML5 is universally compatible and Flash isn't going to be, as smartphone manufacturers are staying away from it.

How to display html content with image in Adobe Flash and Flex mobile project?

Hi,
I have a html content with image in it. How to display it in Adobe Flash Builder and Flex mobile project? Which control needs to be used for this?

Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:

If the swc do not work in Flex4 just use its ource code which works...
...it is basically based on this:

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
Thanks

Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
     var video:Video;
     var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
     connect_nc.connect(null);
     var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
     stream_ns.client = this;
     function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {
         if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
             stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
     stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
     video = new Video();
     addChild(video);
     video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
     stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well. Place the following code in the timeline...
     fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
     function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
         fp.play();
To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page. Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash...?

Hi Everyone!
Is It possible to load Html page Inside Adobe Flash CS5.
Any help would be a great help...!
Originally, i wanted to bring in through <IFRAME> but i don't see that flash understands that.
Thanks in advance!
-yajiv

Not exactly sure how you where planning to display that HTML content in relation to the overall page, but given the limitations of Flash... that may just not be possible...
But, it would be a simple matter to display an HTML iframe over the top of or behind a Flash .swf... So while the iframe would not be a part of the .swf, it certainly could be designed to make it look as though it were.
Controling the stacking order or layering of content on a Web page is accomplished through z-indexing. Correctly positioned and z-indexed, the iframe could apear over the top of the .swf... the .swf in effect being the background... OR the iframe could appear behind the .swf and with a transparent section in the .swf, the iframe would appear through that hole. If there is navigation or links in the iframe, they will be blocked by the .swf though.

But this may be an option....

Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash Professional..?

Hi Everyone,
Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash Professional or Adobe Flex. Thanks in Advance.
-Vijay

probably not the way you are thinking.
flash textfields and their extensions have a limited number of html tags they can parse so, in general, html from most web pages will not display, as expected in flash.

Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash

hi all and adobe forum team
im download felx bulder 3 and make a new flex project ....
its ok
but when i want to run my project i take empty page with the
error code " Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This
content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
that error mean i havent flash player on my pc
but i have because it will installed by default with adobe
flex builder, and flash cs3 on my pc, and im installed it from
adobe web site, and im installed it from cd
but without any result, i have same the error when i want to
run my flext project
i take "Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This
content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
plz help me why
note: im using windows vista ulimate

I had the same problem.
After I've installed new flash player version 9.0.60.120.
I've got the same error.
I'm using Korean windows. Maybe that's the problem. I don't
know yet.
I will test on English machine tomorrow.
Anyway,
Problem is caused by version detaction javascript.
In AC_OETags.js file, there is ControlVersion() function.
Inside of that function,
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7");
this line throw error with catching but do nothing.
So, overall javascript recognize flash player as version 2.0
and something.
I testd this on firefox 2.0.0.4 and IE 7.0.5730.11.
There are all Korean version and failed.
But Safri beta version for Window works fine.
This does not have any Korean version yet. That's why I
assume maybe
that's causing the problem.
So, I guess Adobe people will do something for this, but if
you want to
run it right now without this error message.
Easiest way is just turn off that Flash player version
detection in
project properties > Flex Complier > HTML wrapper.
Uncheck Require Flash player version.
Or edit your Javascript by yourself in
html-template>AC_OETags.js.
like below;
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash");
I hope this will be solved quickly.

Adobe Flash Player settings inside mx:HTML

Hi,
I have been struggleling for 2 days trying to find a solution to this problem. I have an mx:HTML inside an AIR application and isinde this HTML is an address to my server which has a normal php page with the Twilio client for receiving phone calls. Whenever a call comes in, the "Adobe Flash Player Settings" panel pops up asking for authorization for the app to use the microphone.
The problem is that there is no way to click on "allow" or "Remember" or "Advanced" or nothing except the "Close" button which of course denies the usage of the microphone and stops me on my tracks.
I am trying this from an iMac. Can anyone please tell me if there is some Air Application setting or mx:HTML setting that can help me with this issue?
Any other way to achieve this?

Hi,
Sorry to hear that.
The Settings window might pop-up due to insufficient memory allocation, camera/mic adjustments etc.
Can you please look at this page: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html ?
Changing the setting might help you.
With regards,
Prabhu

Adobe Flash Player does not work in Internet Explorer 10 on Microsoft Windows 8

I understand that Google Chrome and IE10 have their own automatic update system, however, any site requiring me to use adobe flash player to view videos does not work no matter what I try. I have:
Used the desktop version of IE versus that Start version and both provide me with the same message.
Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling but I receive an error message stating that Flash player is already installed and I know that it is not because I have unistalled it. I received this message: Installer encountered an error: 0x80248000
I even used Ccleaner to hopefully remove any files that were left behind.
I have gone to Tools, then compatibility settings, unchecked automatic update list from Microsoft. there are no websites on that list t remove.
I have double-checked that the flash player add-on is enabled.
I have also checked security settings and enabled Scripting for Java
I have also made sure that I disabled ActiveXFiltering.
Basically, I have tried to use Adobe's websites to figure out the issue at the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html#main-pars_header _1
None of the tips fixed my issue.
I have Windows 8, recently upgraded from Windows 7. I have a 64-bit machine, when I tried, just in case I was wrong, to install 32-bit, I receive an error. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone may provide. Is there a customer service number by any chance for software we have not paid for but instead it comes with our computers? I really need to be able to use discussions and watch Teachertube, youtube, and other videos to complete grad schools assignments.
Please help me!
I

It sounds like you might have additional software on your system that is interfering with Flash Player. You mentioned that this is happening for both Chrome and Internet Explorer, correct? I've got a similar system (Win 8 upgraded from 7, 64bit) and I've never had any problems.
I'd recommend trying to temporarily disable any security, antivirus, firewall software that you have running. You might also want to try starting in Safe Mode with Networking enabled (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode) to see if Flash works once all utilities and services have been disabled.
Finally, do either of these links play video back?
HTML5 video
Non-HTML5 video
Thanks,

Adobe Flash & Javascript don't work even though Enabled

Ever since what I think was either a Firefox upgrade (I don't know which one) or installation of Quicktime, my Adobe Flash Plugin is perpetually crashed and I cannot play any Flash content on any website. All that displays in place of the video is a gray screen with the sad-face Lego icon and the message: “The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed. Please reload the page to try again.” (See attached image.) But it will not resolve when reloaded.
No Flash videos on any sites work. HTML5 videos work on YouTube when tested, but non-HTML5 videos won't work.
Also, my Javascript does not seem to be working since at least some displays requiring javascript don't work. Sometimes the display just doesn't work, and sometimes I get a message that javascript is disabled and must be enabled, but it is already enabled (set to “true” in about:config).
I have spent days scouring every help forum entry I can find on troubleshooting Flash Player and Javascript. Everything on my end seems to be in order and I cannot find or fix either problem. I think it is possible the issue could have its roots in the fact that Javascript seems to not be working which may be preventing Flash Player content from working...??
Also, Flash content does work in I.E. but not in Firefox (I do not have Chrome installed so did not test in Chrome). I have too many window tabs open in Firefox and can't switch to I.E. (nor do I like to use I.E.).
PLEASE HELP as this is crippling for very important work deadlines I have.
This is what else I know and have tried:
I have a Toshiba Satellite C75D-A Laptop;
Processor: AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics; x64; 2.00 Ghz;
RAM: 8 MB;
OS: 64-bit system; Windows 8.1 (but some auto-check utilities detect it as 8.0 because it was upgraded.);
Graphics Card: “Desktop Graphics” System – AMD Radeon HD 8400 (0x9830);
Installed Graphics Driver Version: AMD 13.352.1004.1007 (Driver Date: 4/22/2014)
My Device Manager graphics driver updater states: “driver software is up to date.”
From the AMD website: the graphics driver auto-detect utility recommended the AMD Catalyst Driver (amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-without-dotnet45-win8.1-64bit.exe) I tried installing this driver, but it won't install. After trying to install, I got a message stating: “We are unable to find a driver for your system.” But Device Manager states I have a current driver, and my graphics card & driver seem to be working fine, so I do not believe this is part of the issue.
I am using Latest Firefox version 35.0.1; and
Using Latest Flash Player: 32-bit NPAPI Plug-in Version: 16.0.0.296; designated: “always activate” (Downloaded new update several times, including fresh install after uninstall; system & web address icons indicate Flash is enabled).
I turned off hardware acceleration in FF Tools>Options>Advanced>General
I disabled WebGL as explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
I am using Ad-Block Plus which has never affected things in the past. I have not tried starting FF in Safe Mode because I believe I will lose all open tabs and not be able to recover them (I may have over 200 open). But disabling add-ons has no effect (I disabled all except for Sessions Manager in case of a crash). (My No-Script has been disabled for at least six months.)
I have Windows Media Player and Quicktime installed.
Quicktime is most recent upgrade (7.7.6) so should not be a problem according to:
“QuickTime plugin takes over Flash” at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here)
Disabling Quicktime had no effect in the prior version of FF (ver. 35.0), but in latest FF ver. 35.0.1, Flash videos only display a plain (blank) gray screen instead of the sad-faced icon and crash message.
(I tried to uninstall Quicktime altogether, but was not able to due to Error codes 2502 & 2503. I tried troubleshooting that as well with no luck using methods successful for other programs, including here:
http://www.fixkb.com/2014/01/error-2503-and-2502-when-uninstalling-on-windows-8.html;
& here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-winapps/re-internal-error-codes-2502-and-2503-for/ba5f2145-aa6e-4cc0-81a7-e4346f43b698.)
Disabling my FF theme and using the default brought back the sad-faced icon and crash message in the place of videos on some YouTube pages, but not other YouTube pages (where video was still blank gray screen). It also enabled a still Flash image (an ad) to display on a different website page that previously had a Flash Plugin crash message. I have been using this same theme for a couple of years without previous issue. While turning it off did generate an effect on some still imagery, it didn't fix the video problem.
I tried Disabling Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 as explained here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here).
It did not solve the issue.
I also deleted all storage & data in Flash Player as advised. This had no effect either.
I've tried all solutions I've been able to find and am at a loss for what to try next. Please help and advise ASAP. Thank you!!

For it not installing, you need to follow these instructions to install them: see the comments: [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/windows-10-atiamd-display-drivers/50944d10-dde3-4e08-8244-d54eb2b1e7de] --> take warning though it looks like it has caused issues for others as well.
Since it was working for some youtube videos and not others, there might be an issue with a particular video codec. DO you have OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. plugin?
Is it possible to try Safe Mode after saving your session with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager Addon]? IT would test hardware acceleration in Firefox.
</blockquote>
Thank you, guigs2! Sorry for my delayed reply...I didn't realize I hadn't gotten back to you. Update is that I did try a whole slew of other troubleshooting steps including starting FF in safe mode, to no avail. However, I was FINALLY (after months) able to solve this problem just today by pure chance!
The problem was that hardware acceleration was enabled in the Flash settings. I had not been able to turn it off because I didn't have access to the Flash Player settings as long as the crash error message was visible, which was all the time! Today, by a sheer fluke, I saw a static picture in place of the crash message on a Flash video. I snagged the opportunity to call up the settings and turn off hardware acceleration, and it fixed the problem for my whole browser! This has been a frustrating issue because I did not have access to the settings utility as long as I had the crash message, which was always, so my Flash was crippled without the ability for me to fix it until pure luck gave me this window of opportunity.
Does anyone know another way to access the settings utility if this ever happens again in the future? I could not find a way. (Incidentally, I had tried disabling hardware acceleration via my graphics driver settings, but it didn't fix the problem.) We need Adobe to allow some other way to access the Flash Player settings utility when this problem arises since they aren't accessible when there is a static crash message.
Thanks again!
