Browsers not working with Flash

Just in the last few days whenever I go to a site that has Flash, the browser hangs and I have to force quit. Any ideas how to fix this? I can't upgrade to the latest software because my computer is a PowerPC iBook G4. So I have 10.5.8.

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
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.
NOTE: On December 8, 2009 Adobe announced plans to drop Flash Player security support next year for Mac owners whose machines run PowerPC processors:
"Adobe will be discontinuing support of PowerPC-based G3 computers and will no longer provide security updates after the Flash Player 10.1 release," said Adobe in the same advisory that spelled out the seven patches. "This unavailability is due to performance enhancements that cannot be supported on the older PowerPC architecture."
After Flash Player 10.1, which is slated to ship in the first half of 2010, Adobe's newest software will run only on Intel-based Macs.

  • Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

    I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

    You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
    While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
    AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
    I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
    Thanks,

  • AIR SDK 17 (BETA) is not working with Flash CS6

    Hi,
    The latest AIR SDK 17 is not working with Flash CS6.
    I tried to publish and install an iOS app to my connected device via USB but I always get an error "Check if iTunes is installed".
    The latest stable AIR SDK 16 is working fine, and yes, iTunes is installed on my PC.
    DETAILS:
    - Flash CS6
    - AIR SDK 17
    - System: Windows 8,1
    - iPodTouch with iOS 8.1
    REPRODUCE:
    Open new AIR iOS template and publish/install it to a USB connected iOS 8.1 device.
    Anyone else got that error?

    I was getting this intermittently.   Not a super problem.   A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

  • I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash player on some of my favorite web sites. Is there any alternative that will work on I-pad instead of flash?

    I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash Player on some of my favorite web sites! Is there another alternative to watching these site options on my I-pad?

    Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

  • Captivate 5.5 not working with Flash 11.4?

    I had Flash 11.4 and published a module with click boxes that jump to URLs.  The click boxes don't appear in either preview or published mode.   No hand cursor, no click box, no URL, nothing.  I've double checked the settings on the click boxes three times... they are correct, and the box is the top most thing on the slide.
    Based on advice I found on this forum on other flash problems, I tried uninstalling Flash 11.4 and going back to 10.3.  Now every time I try to launch the module I immediately go to the Flash 11.4 download page, and get the message "this content requires Flash to play - download now".  So apparently you can't install an earlier version of Flash and use it with Captivate.
    Which isn't a solution anyway, because my I don't want my viewers to have to do that to take this training.  So what do I do?  How do I make these urls available?
    I won't waste my time calling Adobe support... I've made that mistake in the past.  I'm really hoping someone here can help me.  Upgrading to Captivate 6 isn't an option...it's not in the budget.   They need to make 5.5 work with Flash - it's not that old.  It's SO frustrating that every time there is a Flash upgrade I have problems with this stupid software.  If they are going to publish to Flash, they need to keep the software current.  They own both products for goodness sake - why don't they work together?   Please help!
    Thanks for your help.

    I doubt that Flash 11.4 is the cause of these issues.  Having Flash 11.4 installed on your box doesn't mean your end users will need it..  Captivate 5.5 and 6 will only publish as high as Flash 10.2.  So all your end users would need is that version or above.
    I assume when you say you have check the settings on your click boxes, you made sure you have them configured to show the hand cursor?  If this is not turned on then the normal mouse pointer is all that will be visible.  But I'm betting you've checked that already.
    What you may not realise is that sometimes Captivate will APPEAR to show your click boxes are on the top layer of the timeline when you look at it in Edit mode, but in fact they may be buried down under other objects in the layers and NOT be clickable at runtime.  This has caught me out a few times.
    To ensure that your clickboxes ARE on the top layers, select each click box in the timeline and then click the icon on the main toolbar to Bring Selected Objects to the Front.  Then publish and test again.

  • Built in isight camera not working with flash

    My built in isight camera on my macbook works just fine in photobooth and in skype or ichat.. but just in the past week or so, it will not work when im on websites that use flash. I've seen some threads that say that I need to go into settings and make sure that the camera chosen is the USB. When i go into flash settings, the only options are Google1, Google2, or Built in isight. It doesn't work with any of them. Does anyone have any idea how I can make it work again?

    Your problem is not the same as that posted by the OP, and your system info shows you using Mac OS X (10.5.6).
    For your symptoms with this system, I suggest you do the following:
    (1) Apply the 10.5.8 Combo Update using the following process:
      • Backup your Mac and turn off Time Machine
      • Disconnect peripherals and restart Mac
      • Use Disk Utility to repair permissions
      • Download and install
       http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
      • Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that finishes the update.
      • Test whether Flash works for you now.
     (• Turn Time Machine on later when you are satisfied that the update worked.)
    (2) After applying the 10.5.8 Combo, if you are still having problems, download and install the latest Flash player compatible with your system:
      http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Also check any other third-party browser plugins or other add ons. Apply all available updates and uninstall any third-party items that are known to be incompatible with your system.

  • FireFox 3.6.16 still not working with Flash!

    Since updating to the latest version of FireFox 3.6 I have not been able to watch flash video's on YouTube and other sites, also any flash based content is blank or black.
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8 on a G5 PPC so Flash 10.1.102.64, the latest for PPC Mac's.
    I've gone through all the usual steps of disabling plug-in's and extensions with no luck.
    I'm also using the latest Safari 5 and it is still working with YouTube and other Flash sites.
    ETA - Just found something weird, if I launch the QuickTime Player (not the plug-in) after launching FireFox then Flash appears to act normally, even after quiting QT.

    @cor-el
    Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding. As i understood now it is in fact only a "DOM storage data" topic.
    Quote from betterprivacy:
    ''"Disabling DOM storage (instead of deleting the file on shutdown) causes a website script to throw an exception. This means that the execution of the script is aborted immediately, not just the DOM storage instruction is ignored. None of the following script instructions would be executed, even if those instructions have nothing to do with DOM storage. That is the reason why -with DOM storage disabled- sites like CNN.com will cease to play videos."''

  • Eventing not working with FLASH

    Hello,
    My VC application events will not work if i choose FLASH(Flex2) in the "Runtime" attribute of the Compiler settings.
    Can anybody give me a hand with this?
    thanks,
    Alejandro.

    Hi Alejandro,
    Things to check:
    1. Do you have the "Select" event coming form the table to display further info?
    2. Does it work with Web Dynpro?
    Did you know that if the compiler option is portal and on deployment you would see 2 deployed versions 1. HTML and the 2. Flex?
    Let me know.
    Good luck,

  • Youtube and BBC iPlayer are not working with Flash

    Hi there Guys,
    When I started this search I had a full head of hair :( I have read hundreds and houndreds of webpages talking about Flash and FireFox and at this point I just can't get them to work together.
    I am very reluctant to change my browser as to be honest with you I love Firefox but at this point I am in desperation. I have read webpages which they remove this plug-in and that plug-in, change databases, remove this file and delete that file, called this old and remove that. And still nothing happens it just does not work.
    The version of Firefox I am running 35.0.1
    the version of Flash I am writing is 16.0.0.305
    but every time I try to visit YouTube and/or the BBC's website nothing works HELP!!!!
    I would really just do not know what to do.
    Thank you for reading and I hope somebody can help.
    John

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

  • Websites - Export for browsers not compatible with Flash

    Hello,
    The export of websites in Flash format is great and gives the opportunity to use nice transition effects for example. But I see several downsides:
    1. It's not possible to view the site with browsers that don't support Flash.
    2. It's not possible to use the navigate by using the back and forword buttons.
    3. The referencing in search engines may not be as easy as with a non-Flash website.
    It would be a great option to be able to decide for the publishing of websites between the current option (with Flash) and second one not using Flash.

    Thanks for the feedback! We will put into our feature requests database.
    Thanks again for helping us shape the future of Project ROME

  • Webcams Not Working With Flash

    I'm using Windows 8 64 bit, have tried on both chrome and firefox, flash version 11.8.
    I'm trying to broadcast my webcam and audio in flash chat rooms. When I'm prompted to choose my video and audio sources the options show up but they can not be utilized properly.  There isn't an issue with my webcams or mics because they work fine when streamed through encoders or used on Skype.  The problem is specifically with flash chat rooms.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash as a program, disabled and enabled as a plugin/add on, deleted the cache.  I'm completely stumped on what the problem is please help I need to get this fixed ASAP.

  • Line-height not working with flash and css

    I'm using dynamic text in Flash with CSS, but line-height
    doesn't seem to be working with. Is it supported? If not, what is a
    work around to get my text to look they way I want?

    I believe this is due to a corrupt file in your profile. You can confirm this if you create a new temporary Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and if the problem disappears.
    To fix this problem (hopefully), do this:
    - access ''about:support'' in your location bar
    - click ''Open Containing Folder''
    - close Firefox
    - delete the file ''downloads.sqlite'' (send it to the recycle bin, if, for any reason, you want to get it back later)
    - start Firefox
    Now the problem should be solved. I believe it's simply a matter of this file having become corrupt. For whatever reason. It's really unfortunate, but I hope this fixes the issue.

  • cfselect not working with flash form

    I have searched the forum and google to find a solution -
    I've tried what's been suggested (ie - mappings of /CFIDE, adding
    /CFIDE to the site root, etc.) nothing has worked. This is only
    happening in my production boxes (two identical setups, running in
    parallel) -
    The form loads, but any options I define inside
    <cfselect> will not show.. here's the basic code:

    Same code works on my localhost (development box) - so I'm
    sure it's some setting I'm missing or messed up in the production
    servers. I have checked the IIS settings as well as the mappings in
    CF admin, both have /CFIDE defined. I've even added a mapping to
    the /CFIDE within the site root.
    I'm currently running CFMX 7.0.2 on Server 2003 with IIS 6
    Please help!!

    More info...
    When I call the page locally...

  • Webcam/incoming video not working with flash 11

    I use a chat room which uses adobe flash for webcams to video conference. I've used adobe flash for webcam purposes for years without an issue but all of a sudden my outgoing video/audio doesn't work and incoming audio/video is very choppy. My webcam freeze frames on the first image it sees, and incoming audio/video just skips like a broken CD. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling flash, uninstalling reinstall chrome, different browers...but the problem only exists in adobe flash. My webcam works fine in non-flash programs (i.e. Skype), as well as incoming audio/video. I believe this problem occured directly after the latest flash update. What can I do?
    Specs:
    2005 Dell Inspiron
    OS: Windows XP
    32 Bit
    Browser: Chrome (but tried also firefox, IE and still didnt work)
    Webcam: MS Lifecam VX-3000

    Here are the steps required to install the previous version
    1. Uninstall Flash Player using the stand alone uninstaller using these instructions
    2. Download the previous version of Flash Player here: Flash Player 11.1.102.63
    Note: This downloads a .zip file that contains all of the different releases of Flash Player for that version (ie. Windows, Mac, etc.)
    3. Extract the contents of this zip file
    4. Depending on your operating system and browser, go into either the 64 or 32 bit folders (do not use the debug folder) then double click the following filename to start the installation:
    Internet Explorer for Windows 7 64-bit: flashplayer11_1r102_63_winax_64bit.exe
    Other browsers for Windows 7 64-bit: flashplayer11_1r102_63_win_64bit.exe
    Internet Explorer for all Windows 32-bit systems: flashplayer11_1r102_63_win_32bit.exe
    Other browsers for all Windows 32-bit systems: flashplayer11_1r102_63_winax_32bit.exe
