Can't input in Flash applets

Hello, I'm running Fedora Core 8 on my laptop with Adobe
Flash Plugin 9.0.115.0 installed. Whenever I access flash applets,
like games or Pandora, I can't input text into these. I can copy
text and paste it into fields, but for games I can't control
anything that involves letters... I can move using arrows and
enter, but text isn't recognized. Has anyone encountered this
problem before? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem. Simply download and install [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash Player], and you'll be able to type in Flash input boxes again.

Who has to fix this? mac sound inputs to flash browser plugin.

Hi there,
hope someone can answer some simple questions.
I have the problem that i can not use all of my soundcards inputs on mac in order to stream with a flash applet.
On windows everything is fine and all channels are choosable:
http://www.serverman.de/files/motu-win.png
On mac only the device is choosable:
http://www.serverman.de/files/motu-mac.png
Selecting the channels in the drivers or system panel does not work. I contacted the soundcard vendor and
they say its adobes turn to fix this. I also contacted bambuser and they also said they can not help. Also
other flash applets like ustream.tv´s applets do only work on Windows...
So who can help?
Can someone answer this or poing me to a person that can verify this?
Thank you.
Tom

Thank you for your answer.
Yes that is the conclusion of what came out after contact with the vendor.
You can select what you want in the system or soundcard panel only channel 1 and 2 work.

A function can not be used in Applet.what's wrong?

Don't you think it would be a bit of a security risk if any applet you downloaded from the web (unknowingly) could read/write to your file system....
Applets have strict security applied to them, and file i/o is one of the restrictions. There are ways around it, but for the moment I'd suggest you build a bridge and get over it.

How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of all other windows?

Hi All,
I'm new to action script, and I just need this one script
> How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of

Basically what i want to do is have a flash-created
step-by-step instructional movie, but for the movie to remain on
top of all windows so the instructee is able to follow the
instructions on-screen...
It would be preferable to not have to buy another product
just to do this... as I said, this is the only scripting I need.
Thanks in advance

Firefox+Flash: Some flash applets' content doesn't get updated

Hello community,
I stumbled upon a very strange problem with Firefox and Flash. Some flash applets (example: http://www.kenken.com/game) show only a plain white rectangle. For a long time I thought that it is a problem with Flashblock and/or NoScript. Today, however, I tried to get rid of the problem and made following observations:
1. The problem persists in safe mode (with deactivated extensions).
2. The problem persists after disabling hardware acceleration in the Firefox settings.
3. The problem does NOT occur in Chromium&Pepper Flash. But I'd like to stick to Firefox for many reasons.
4. The problem does NOT occur on my laptop running Manjaro (however, the setups are not really comparable).
5. Initially I thought that the flash applets aren't initialized at all, however, now I observed that if I switch to a different tab and then back to the tab with the flash applet, it gets updated. I can also interact with the applet, however, the changes are only visible after I do the tab switching.
Any help or hint how to find the cause of the problem is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
PhotonX

A new finding: I tried to install an older version of Firefox and downloaded a binary from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org … /releases/. The older binary worked so I tried newer ones and finally arrived at the very same version as the one installed through the package management. The result is: The 33.0.2 binary downloaded from Mozilla works, the 33.0.2 installed through the package management doesn't! All extensions installed on my machine are available in the downloaded binary, so I assume that it knows about ~/.mozilla. What could be the cause of the problem then? Will try to start Firefox with a completely clean home folder (new user) and report back.

Flash & Applets

I do not know if this question has been asked before, but can Applets reach the kind of graphics Flash does.
I mean Flash is somehow more attractive then applets, and there are so many nice things that can be done with Flash. However I can not stop from saying that Action Script 2.0 (in which you code flash) is very look a like of Java Script and Java code.
So can Java Applets come to look like Flash, and would there be a very big performance issue of so?

I do not know if this question has been asked before,

I mean Flash is somehow more attractive then applets,That's not true at all. It depends on what you want to do
and there are so many nice things that can be done
with Flash. However I can not stop from saying that
Action Script 2.0 (in which you code flash) is very
look a like of Java Script and Java code.
So can Java Applets come to look like Flash, and
would there be a very big performance issue of so?Flash is a tool for the artist. Flash is great because it provides rapid development tools for building presentations (i.e. graphics & animation). Applets are Java programs (which are not written by artists), which can do ANYTHING allowed by the Java API, and more. So I don't see that the two can be compared easily. But as far as graphics go, of course Java is going to be more capable, but Flash allows you to build things quickly without writing code.
For example, say you wanted to make a simple 2D game. You'd do it in Flash, quick & easy. But what if you wanted a full-featured game? In that case, you'd have no choice but to use Java.
Regarding performance, this has a bit to do with the implementation and use of API's and stuff. But yes, Java utilizes 2D and 3D hardware acceleration and is thus faster and more capable.

10.4.7: broken safari menus over flash applets

It seems after the 10.4.7 safari update: 2.0.4 (419.3), javascript menu dropdowns that hover over flash do not work properly. This can be viewed at http://www.bestbuy.com. Try to use the menu(s) above the main flash applet and you'll see what I mean. I also use the Nightly WebKit and this issue is not present (build 15091).
Power Mac G5 Dual 2Ghz/iBook G4 1.42Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.5 Gig, Rad 9800 Pro 256M

Hello,
Thanks very much for the look,
You're quite welcome. Always glad to help out.
I upgraded my G5 and
the iBook so I had no way of checking the site after
the fact. The latest webkit seems to have this fixed
so maybe in a futre release when the webkit merges
with safari, it will be fixed.
Which webkit is that? Are you talking about some of the developer software through Apple's Developer Connection?
Or, are you talking about some 3rd-party updates, or nightly builds of the Flash program?
I wasn't aware that Safari had a nightly build update like some of the other Open Source projects.
Perhaps I am just misunderstanding your statement.

Not in Java proper, since there is no platform-independent way to do it. You can use the java.awt.Window.toFront() method, but it's probably not what you were thinking.

HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info.

Can I use a flash drive to back up my iTunes?

Did a search on backing up my iTunes, and only get the option of backing up to a disc (Which is what I've done over the past 3 years. I now have 6 discs accumulated).
Can I use a flash drive to back up my apps, music, and videos?
I only have a total of 1.6 GB of apps, music, & video.
If so, would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
Thanks for any advice or help.

The backup built into iTunes works only with CDs and DVDs, but you can back up onto a flash drive or hard drive manually. Just drag the entire iTunes folder (normally in your user's Music folder) onto the backup device.
would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
Yes. If you back up the entire iTunes folder, you should be able to just copy it back to the new drive in the same location (user -> Music folder).

You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.
