Automatic updates management in Flash Player 11

Hello,
I know that with the latest 10 version the mms.cfg file is still the valid option to customize the automatic updates behavior (even if the new Control Panel applet's dedicated option is not greyed, I read the autoupdates are anyway blocked).
Is it the same with the 11 version? I have just installed it with the same mms.cfg file I used for 10, and still the Control Panel applet is not greyed...
thanks

@fabio_s
When you created the mms.cfg file, in what character encoding did you save it in?
@TalonT,
You actually have conflicting directives in the mms.cfg file.
AutoUpdateInterval=0 tells Flash Player to check for an update every time it starts.
AutoUpdateDisable=1 disables Flash Player from checking for updates.
To disable AutoUpdate, you should only have AutoUpdateDisable=1
You said previously "The packet sniffer shows the auto-update request traffic to http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/",  Can you provide the entire URL that the request is going to?
I will investigate further after receiving this information.

  • How do I get a user to update to the Flash Player Version to 10.1

    I would like to find out if there is a way for a message to pop up on my website if the user has Flash Player version lower than 10.1. If the version 10.1 or higher (in the future) no message should come up. The message should prompt a user to update to the Flash Player version 10.1.
    My entire site is in Flash and I am using AS3. So I am guessing I should implement an AS3 code on the first frame of the script layer. Does anyone know what would be this code?

    O.K. I see,
    HTML code is automatically generated by Flash program.
    I am unable to give you a short answer on this and thus attaching the code I
    see in DreamWeaver:

  • On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

    I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
    This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />
    See [[Managing the Flash plugin]] and [[Installing the Flash plugin]]
    You can check the Adobe welcome and test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    You can use this manual download link:

  • I'm getting a message to install an update to Adobe Flash player.

    I've heard that a virus can infect Macs using a phony update to Adobe Flash Player.  Right now I am getting a warning to install an update to Adobe Flash player, but my Software Update check indicates no current updates for Safari.  Yet my Safari is telling me that I need to update and it's blocking any Flash clips from use.  Can this be on the level?

    For both posters, this is the central Adobe link to the latest Flash Player installer:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Download and run the installer. Will need to quit all browsers while doing so. No need to "uninstall", the installer will get rid of the old code automatically. As of this writing (25 Aug 2012, 1200 CDT), the current Flash version for Intel Macs is 11.4.402.265
    Afterwards, you can test your functioning Flash installation by visiting:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If the cube bounces about, Flash is OK. And lastly, you can configure a bunch of Flash Player settings here:

  • I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    Model Name: iMac
      Model Identifier: iMac12,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core i5
    I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

  • Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

    I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
    Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
    When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a  small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
    My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
    We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

    Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
    Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
    I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
    I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
    Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
    We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
    If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
    Thanks,

    Since updating my adobe flash player a couple of days ago some of my web pates are acting strangely. One that is not a big deal, but is strange is that my the google logo is missing from the main google search page. Another is that I cannot login to hotmail at all. I just get a blank screen. When I check my gmail account I can only use the basic html page. When I go to the adobe flash test page it says that everything is working fine. I have the latest firefox. Is there a web page where I can go to check my current firefox to make sure it's working?
