Can't open flash

i can't view flash content with my safari.
i followed the window that says get flash player, i've checked my java script and tried safari help, but it still doesn't work.
it's all fine on my internet explorer though.
i'd be glad if you could help.

Make sure your third-party adblockers are disabled, such as PithHelmet. I had the same problem until I turned the blocker off. If Flash works on Firefox but not on Safari, that may be the problem.

I can't open Flash, Illustrator or Dreamweaver CS6

Hi everyone !
I have a very big problem :
I can't open Flash, Illustrator or Dreamweaver CS6.
For the two last, I think downloading the latest version (CC) would solve the problem.
But I need to keep Flash CS6 to open my client AS2 files.
It stopped working for nothing (no updates or anything new).
When I try to launch : Dreamweaver and flash icons move and then stop. And Illustrator icon won't even move. And I don't get any launch screen or anything.
I tried to download again the softwares, to restore the preferences...
I'm on Mac OSX 10.9.1.
Thanks for your help !

Hi everybody !
I uninstalled everything, cleaned preferences, everywhere I could find them, cleaned my computer, repaired permission, etc...
And then re installed the adobe softwares I need...
And still, I can't turn on flash or dreamweaver CS6 AND CC.
Fortunately, I have my old notebook that I can run everything on to make what I need for my clients but it's an old one and it's really slow
The last solution I can think of is to re-install all my computer.
I really don't understand
I'll do that this weekend, I think... it should work... hopefully...

Nastasia

Can't open Flash files on Windows XP

I have Flash Player 9 installed. I can view Flash files
online in my browsers (IE and Firefox), but when I try to open a
Flash file on my computer to just play it in Flash Player, it asks
me what I want to use to open the file. I have searched the support
documents and looked online everywhere, but can't seem to find the
problem. Basically, I can't find the actual Flash Player program
file on my machine. I know it's there, otherwise I wouldn't be able
to view Flash files in the browser, but I can't view them on my
local machine.
I have tried setting the program associated with .swf files
in folder options to the following, but none of them work. When
associating .swf files with any of these, it says an update for
Flash is available. I go through the update, reboot because it says
it's required, but when I start back up, it just does the same
thing. I cannot open Flash files (.swf) on my computer, only in the
browser and none of the paths I have tried setting .swf files to
open with are actually the Flash Player application. I need to know
where the Flash Player is on Windows XP.
HELP?!?!?!
The paths I've tried are:
C\WINDOWS\stsyem32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9b.exe
C:\i386\Flash.ocx
C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
None of them will open Flash files on my local computer. I
have searched my machine, and those are the only paths I can find
that have anything to do with the Flash Player. Even though it's an
Adobe product now instead of a Macromedia product, I can't find
anything for Flash in any Adobe directories, just Macromedia
directories.
Does anyone know how to remedy this? Has anyone else had this
same problem? Any help would be
GREATLY
appreciated!!! It seems like I started having this association
problem as soon as Flash was switched from Macromedia to Adobe.
Thanks!

I found the solution. After searching the web for what seemed
like an eternity, I found the following on a Google Groups page:

1 - How can I make my PC play a flash file on my local hard
drive?
Unless you buy Macromedia Flash (the authoring environment)
you can't play them just straight off, you have to open them with a
browser which has the Flash Player plugin installed. To do this,
either right-click on the .swf and select open with... (internet
explorer) or open IE and then go to file... open.... etc.
Then I realized that I started having the problem about the
time I got my new laptop. I didn't install Flash MX on my new
laptop because I don't really use it anymore, I use Swish, so I
didn't install it because I hate installing programs I don't use.
Anyways, I installed Flash MX on my new laptop and walla, I can
open .swf files on my machine again.
I didn't realize I had to have Flash installed (the program,
not the player) in order to be able to open .swf files on my
machine as opposed to viewing them in a browser. Guess I know now!
I thought I'd post what I found in case anyone else had the
same problem and didn't realize it.
Thanks!

Can't open flash/fla files (with CS4) - might be version issue

Hi,
I am trying to edit a website for a friend (built with Flash and XML) and i can't seem to get into any of the .Fla files.
I don't know if it is my version of Flash (CS4) or the files and not sure how i could test it. Could also just be a CS5 file hence i can't open it.
Any help or suggestions would be great. Please help i don't know what to do, haha.
Here is an upload of one of the files i am talking about
http://www.2shared.com/file/kb2NKm0i/book-verification.html
I wasn't sure which hosts were allowed so if i messed up please let me know.
Thanks
Asher

Hi Asher,
You cannot open a file which is saved in future version such as CS5 version in Flash CS4 .This is as designed .
If you need to open a CS5 file in CS4 , You need to save the file as CS4 file and then open in Flash CS4 .
Thanks

Can't Open Flash Pro CS5

I just installed the 30-day trial version of Adobe Flash Pro CS5 on my HP laptop (I'm using Windows XP Professional) and every time I try to open it it says that "Adobe Flash CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I need this for my job and I'm unsure as to why this is happening. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And if so, how did you go about fixing it?

I am facing the same problem. My OS is Win7 and Hardware is Dell Inspiron laptop.
I have installed CS5 Premium 30-day trial. All app work fine except Flash CS5. Can someone help?

This is incredably frustrating as you can imagine as it effectively means i cant work anymore, it is clearly some kind of problem with eclipse but i have no idea what.
I have tried re-installing Flash Builder twice and no luck.
Can anyone help with this???
Thanks !!!!

There is a similar thread with exact same stackstrace and problmes reported with earlier verison of FB. You can check it here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/832073. Thre is also representation of Adobe engineers on this thread. Aprarenlty there are certain updates(Eclipse / java) that FB doen't encourage, post FB is installed in stanadlone mode and workarounds are suggested on this thread to overcome this problem. If you are workign in plugin environment with FB, I guess updates are not affecting FB installtion. Please try out the solutions presented on this thread and let us know.

Can't open flash widgets on all Apple

Can't open Flash 8 files

Everytime I try to open a Flash 8 document, by
double-clicking or through Flash, I get the warning "Failed to open
document. /document_name."
I could open this document yesterday, no problem. I'm on a G5
running 10.4.6. I did upgrade J2SE 5.0 Release 4 this morning,
which I believe is an upgrade to JavaScript. And I think that's
causing the problem.
If I click on a document in the Flash 8 Start Page, I get the
message above, plus, "While executing , the following JavaScript
error(s) occurred: Cannot find file:////document_name."
Has anyone else seen or heard of this problem.
Steve

Still looking for an answer.

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help?

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

Prep your new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

How do i open sites that require adobe flash? I can't open my own website, not to mention tons of other sites. It's ridiculous.

How do i open sites that require adobe flash? I can't open my own website, not to mention tons of other sites. It's ridiculous.

Flash is not supported on the iPad and never has been supported on any iOS device - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon '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.

I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
Windows:
Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
Mac:
Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.
