  • Hosting old versions of Flash Player

    Is there any official word about hosting old versions of flash player?  I have a large number of .swf files that were created using Articulate Presenter 5.4 which converted them from powerpoint files.  Under the latest version of Flash player they don't play.  When using the beta version up on labs most work, but a few with box/circle in animations don't.  The only solution that doesn't break any .swf files is downgrading to 10.0.42.34.  This is totally an Articulate issue and I am talking with them about a fix; I just thought it prudent to provide some background to my question.  I am aware of http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html but it is a little ridiculous to ask them to download 157 MB to get the 1.83/1.86 MB file they need.  I'd like to host the older version so that people having a problem can choose to download it, but I am not sure as to Adobe's stance on this issue, so if anyone out there can fill me in/point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

  • For security reason, do we have to uninstall old version of Flash Player ?

    Hello,
    I actually want to deploy the last version of Flash Player (plugin and activex) on my computer network.
    After installing the latest version (v10.1), I have seen that my old .ocx files where deleted automatically from the folder "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash" but one file remains Flash10e.ocx (and I have the latest version too Flash10h.ocx).
    In my logfile, I have this :
    Delete ....
    Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10.exe"
    Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10a.exe"
    End Call Uninstallers
    File: overwriteflag=4, allowskipfilesflag=2, name="Flash10e.ocx"
    File: wrote 3981080 to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx"
    IfFileExists: file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx" exists, jumping 352
    File: overwriteflag=4, allowskipfilesflag=2, name="FlashUtil10e.exe"
    File: wrote 256280 to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10e.exe"
    End Main Section
    Is is normal that I am still having the Flash10e.ocx ? Was it because my browser was opened during the silent installation of Flash ?
    Thanks !

    Hi,
    thanks for your answer.
    It's quite difficult to deploy the new version of Flash or 5000 computers with this method .
    It's quite difficult to force users to close their browser each time I would like to update an Adobe product (moreover, not every users are online during the deployment etc...).
    I have updated my Adobe Flash while IE was opened and it seems to work (except the fact that I have one another .ocx file that I dont want).
    Thanks

  • How to get and install old (version 8) Flash player ActiveX in IE?

    I would like to install old Flash Active X controls into IE
    in order to test if our software detects the version
    properly.
    If I download and install the old players available at
    www.adobe.com
    these do not seem to install the activeX: there are no
    Flash*.ocx files
    or registry entries as indicated in
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=b0dba60b&sliceId=2
    I have searched the knowledgebase/forums and posted in the
    Flash player forum
    but did not find/get an answer...
    Bye

    Jan, having massive Flash 9 problems too. Spoke to an AOL
    tech guy and he told me download old versions of Macromedia Flash
    at the website below. He said the site is very helpful and totally
    legit. I'm trying it tonite myself. Unfortunately, they only do
    Windows versions. Visit the site, lots of stuff there. Cheers,

  • How to uninstall old versions of Flash player?

    I have the latest version of the Flash Player (9.0.28.0)
    installed.
    However when I run Secunia's software inspector (
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector/?task=load)
    it finds an old version of the Flash 7.0.19.0 and flags it as
    'Insecure'.
    This is in two places:
    C:/WINDOWS/system32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
    and
    C:/I386/Flash.ocx
    How can I uninstall the old version - I do not see Flash
    Player in Add/Remove of Windows (Win XP SP2)?
    thanks

    It's quite handy, actually, and I suspect relatively new. It
    checks your machine for outdated/unsafe applications:
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector
    And of course it's totally free.
    How can I verify what version(s) of Flash that I might have
    loaded? There's no Program Files entry or anything in Add/Remove,
    etc. OTOH, the Secunia site shows where at least part of the
    product(s) are loaded, yet it's not totally clear to me if those
    locations are in use by the current version.

    How do I uninstall the older versions of Adobe Flash Player
    and replace or uninstall the older version of Micromedia Flash
    Player??
    I searched the knowleget base but didn't see any helpful

  • How to install old version of Flash Player ActiveX

    Hello,
    I have to install Flash Player ActiveX 10.1.x or 10.3.x because it is required by my application. 11.x version I tried made issues.
    I downloaded various 10.x versions : they all told me that this version is not the newest => I can only quit the installation.
    How can I avoid that message ?
    What does Adobe care which version I want to install because I have to ????? 
    Thank you for your help !

    Please run the appropriate uninstaller linked below.  That should allow you to run older installers without receiving that error.
    Windows 32-bit: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_32bit.exe
    Windows 64-bit: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_64bit.exe

  • URL to download old versions of Flash Player?

    The current version screws up some of my games, I need to back rev but I can't find the page to download one.  Help!

    The Insert Hyperlink function in the forum editor has the nasty habit of appending another http: to the link; the correct URL is

  • The new versions of Flash Player for Android are still not in the Archive page!

    I feel like something is missing in the Flash Player Archive page.  Yesterday, I read that the new Flash Player version for Android 2.x/3.x is now version 11.1.111.73, and that the new Flash Player version for Android 4.x is now 11.1.115.81, but instead, all I see are previous versions of Flash Player for Android 4.x, 3.x, and 2.x!  When will the newest Flash Player versions for Android be available to the archive page?  Here's a link for the Archive Page:  http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html 

    Ok, we're fixing it and it should be resolved by tomorrow.  Please let me know if you can't find it by tomorrow evening.
    Thanks again for letting us know!

  • Unable to install latest version of Flash Player

  • Uninstall older versions of Flash Player?

    I just installed the latest update for Flash Player...can I now uninstall older versions?

    Yes, you can.
    It is best to use the uninstaller from Adobe. It is on this page:
    http://http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Follow the instructions.
    Because I am having problems with getting Flash Player that works on my pc, I have saved the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller to my desktop. It is helpful not having to go back to the Adobe page to get it when I need it.
    After uninstalling old versions of Flash Player, remember to check that the new version you keep is installed correcly and working properly, go to the Adobe "Find Version" page and follow the instructions there.
    Here:

  • Do IE and Firefox have their own versions of Flash Player

    I have a very basic question. I have IE and Firefox. It looks like you need two versions of Flash Player, one for IE and another for Firefox. Is this true. If it is true, will the Firefox version overwrite the IE version or visa versa, when you install the Flash Player versions? In other words will they automatically coexist without messing each other? Thank you.

    There are two versions of Flash Player
    ActiveX for Internet Explorer
    plugin for all other browsers
    The two versions can coexist (there are different files for the two versions: Flashxx.ocx for IE, NPSWFxx.dll for other browsers).

  • Will there be a 'Pepper' Linux Flash Player available from Google for versions after 11.2?

    Adobe has stated that:
    "For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the “Pepper” API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. "
    To me this sounds like going forward, after 11.2,  all Linux Flash Players will be released by Google as part of Chrome using Pepper and not by Adobe - but that there will be Linux Flash Players after 11.2, its just that they are only available in Chrome. However most people in the community seem to have interpreted this to mean 11.2 is the last Linux Flash Player ever other than 5 years of security updates from Adobe. Could an Adobe employee please clarify? Will there be Linux Flash Players, via Pepper and Chrome, for 11.3, 11.4. ...12 and so on? This is crutially important for those using the Flash Player within the embeded Linux market.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

  • Is my PC too old/slow for the latest version of Flash player?

    Hello there guys.
    I wish I had noted down which version of flash player I was using before I updated to the new one, as I had not updated for a year or two and the old version worked fine but the new one does not. The symptoms of the new one I would describe in youtube videos or live streaming, the video quality is in slow motion and skips as if trying to catch up with the audio every 6 seconds or so.
    I have tried all the steps such as turning off hardware accelration, deleting excess plug-ins, only running one program at a time, ensuring its the latest version of flash, deleting flash browser data and cache and increasing storage limit.
    My PC specifications are as follows:
    AMD Athlon(tm) XP
    1.05GHz, 1.00 of RAM
    128 Mb of graphic memory
    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3
    I am using Mozilla Firefox, the latest version as it updates itself automatically
    I tried watching HTML5 and non-HTML5 video's and both were laggy.
    I have checked the system requirements for the flash version I am having trouble with (Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.202) and it says it requires  2.33Ghz or faster to run so is it just a case of my PC is too old and slow processor to run the latest flash?
    If this is the case could someone recommend an archived version that will work for my system and using firefox.
    Many thanks,
    Simon.

    I just checked to see if it is the device driver that needs updating on NVIDIA website and got this report:
    Product
    Current
    Installed Driver
    Recommended
    Update
    GeForce FX 5200
    175.19
    Your PC currently has the latest driver installed for your GPU.  No driver update is necessary at this time.

  • Could you please let me know if Flash Player will inform a user that his system requirements are insufficient when trying to use a given version of Flash Player?

    Hi,
    Could you please let me know if Flash Player will inform a user that his system requirements are insufficient when trying to use a given version of Flash Player?
    Regards

    It depends, but in general, no. 
    The guidance on minimum system requirements is mostly about what we will and won't fix bugs for.  Flash Player probably works on Windows Server 2000, and we're not going to intentionally break it or prevent you from installing it, but we're also not going to fix it if it breaks.  In instances where it's going to crash on launch or have some other horrendous out-of-box experience, like attempting to install on a PowerPC Mac, then we'll prevent the installation outright.
