Basics on using Adobe Flash Player

I'm trying to get a better understanding of some of the basics concerning Adobe Flash Player. 
I'm developing a web page with some third party software and have been provided with an HTML file to add to the site.  If I try to launch the HTML file either in the web site or stand-alone, nothing happens.  However, the person who provided me with the file sees an animation, apparently because she has Flash Player installed and I don't. 
There's a large user community who will view the site and rather than expect all users to install Flash Player, I'm looking for an alternative.  What I'm missing is how Flash Player effectively creates an animation from the HTML file that I was provided with ... HTML files are by themselves static.  I was hoping that I could somehow convert this animation into a WMV or similar file type that could run without having the site users install any software.
I'd appreciate any ideas on this.  Thanks.

Flash content on a web site is usually in the form of a SWF file.  The Flash Player browser add-on will then play its content.  That, of course, requires that Flash Player is installed on the client side.
The alternative to Flash Player is HTML5, which is supported by all modern web browsers, and does not require the installation of any browser add-on.  See http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_intro.asp

    You cannot.  Adobe does not make it for ipad.

    There is no need to add yet another thread on this very tired subject.
    Adobe has announces d that they are selling a platforms that will allow ipad users to view flash content.  This is nothing that users will have.  The developer of the video will have to do this.

  • How to successfully install and use Adobe Flash Player on an iMac?

    I have the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  It makes actually several years that I have not been able to view videos that use Adobe Flash Player.  This is true of several sports websites I like such as ATPtour.com and ESPN.com.  A few days ago I have upgraded my OS to the most current one.  And, I retried downloading Adobe Flash Player and it made no difference.  I tried to see the videos using numerous different browzers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) with no success. 
    I know Steve jobs hated Adobe Flash Player because it was so inefficient.  But, I thought one could still use it with Mac computers.  Are you guys having as much difficulty as I am?  If not what are the solutions to running Adobe Flash Player?  Thank you in advance for your information.

    I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player.  It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

    You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
    Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 why do my YouTube and other videos keep stopping

    noelenefromashford,
    I'm in the same boat. Safari 6.0.5, stalls, and stops playing video (youtube, vimeo, etc). I tried the same videos with Firefox and they play fine!

  • Why can't u use adobe flash player with iPad II ?

    I use adobe flash player a good bit on my pc but I cannot download it from my ipadII why?

    it's an Internet Browser add-on and apple doesn't allow any add-ons for the Safari Application due to security issues, certain add-ons could give potential spyware, virus, or other things to get your personal information.
    Apple computers allow add-ons because typically people aren't using their computer to make emergency phone calls and things like that like they do from the mobile devices, so the computers can afford to get errors and crash while it would be a huge liability for Apple to allow the phone's potential harm.

  • How to use adobe Flash Player offline within a webpage?

    I am connected to a network that has no internet access.  I am trying to demonstrate a product that is uses adobe flash player within the webpage. The webpage first goes to "http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf" file and then goes to the stream.  Is there anyway to download that file and store it locally to get the stream to work properly? Is there a standalone flash player that does not require GET to the swf file to start streaming the media?  What would be the best way to go about this issue?

    There IS a standalone Flash Player but is's part of Flash Professional. You'd need to purchase it (or download a 30 day trial, but I don't know if the Flash Player would keep working after the trial expires).

    I am running windows 7, firefox 4 v6, and AFP 10.1. I have tried reinstalling AFP and upgrading to the firefox beta. I first experienced this after installing ADP 10.1 and have uninstalled that program until I can resolve this issue.

    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Click Check Now to make sure the currently installed Flash plugin is up to date.
