Do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently?

This question is asked as a follow up from a recent discussion, http://forums.adobe.com/message/6260447#6260447, regarding how getObjectsUnderPoint() works. The discussion was marked as correct as the answer provided by kglad was correct for the question asked.
But, the problem that led to that thread was not solved, as from the tests done, the issue was not from the method but from the runtimes. With the sample code given by kglad, the compiled swf file was working as intended by kglad. But the same code was not if compiled and packaged to AIR runtime.
Thus the question, do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently? Or again, that I simply missed out something?
*Edit: Anyone with similiar experience?

I'm also using Safari 6.0.1 and I don't have this problem, so I doubt Safari's causing the problem.
Have you tried uninstalling flash completely and then reinstall? If you haven't, here's Adobe's instructions on how to do so: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Once you've uninstalled it, try redownloading and reinstalling again: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • A mic doesn't work. Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different. Please, help!

    Hello!
    The trouble began in Google Hangouts on Air. When I'm in conference room I read that my mic doesn't work. I checked settings, chose "default" one time and my microphone name another time. Both variants don't help. On the right end of an address bar I read this message: "this page has been blocked from accessing your camera and microphone". I clicked it, chose "Allow", after reloading the problem returns. Then I went to Chrome exceptions and allowed my mic on the site.
    In Chrome exceptions menu I read this: "Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different". Though I chose "Allow" in Chrome I can't do it Fllash Player. I did all the instructions which are given to solve audio problems, but it didn’t help. I also wanted to allow excess for my mic on “Website Privacy Settings Panel”, but I can’t find https://plus.google.com in the list to allow (attach a screenshot). I’m out of ideas what else to do. Please, help!

  • Flash player is and isn't working!!

    Ok here are the specifics
    Running Windows 7 x64
    IE 9 with 10.3.181.26 (unsure whether its 32/64) &
    Firefow 5 with 10.3.181.26  (unsure whether its 32/64).
    Ok
    A while back I got the usual popup to say that there was an update and proceeded to use the updater to get it - can't remember exactly which version but believe I went from v9 to the v10. From then on It was problem after problem... I can view videos on youtube, other sites and some facebook applications work fine but other applications won't load they say I need version 10.1 or higher...
    An even stranger effect is that I can no longer get on the flash player website...!! obvioously I cen get here and also to the adobe main site but can't go:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    the link off of the main adobe website...
    To be honest I tried everything I could think off back when it happened but couldn't sort it out so just gave up - I could use it on most sites I went to and there was always the one at work for those I couldn't... I recently got a new PC and downloaded the latest flash player from work and brought it home - same result.... AAArrrggghhh
    I've done the usual... uninstall, reboot, install and reboot butit doesn't make a difference... I thinkI may have an older copy deposited somewhere in the reg and it's throwing off the system for certain websites...
    I really hope someone can help with this - It's starting to drive me round the twist - Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    This option is available when your publish target is set to AIR 3.6.
    You can download the desired AIR SDK version from Archived Adobe AIR SDK versions

  • Flex SDK and AIR runtime version in mobile

    Hi, guys.
    I'm trying to make my first Flex mobile app.
    I'm a little confused about the relationship between Flex SDK and AIR  runtime versions for mobile development.
    In the "Developing Mobile Applications with ADOBE FLEX 4.6 and ADOBE FLASH BUILDER 4.6" pdf document, it says:
    "AIR requirements
    Flex mobile projects and ActionScript mobile projects require AIR 2.6 or a higher version. You can run mobile projects on physical devices that support AIR 2.6 or a higher version of AIR.
    You can install AIR 2.6 or a higher version only on supported Android devices that run Android 2.2 or a higher version. For the complete list of supported Android devices, see Certified Devices. Also, review the minimum system requirements to run Adobe AIR on Android devices at Mobile System Requirements.
    Note: If you do not have a device that supports AIR 2.6 or a higher version of AIR, you can use Flash Builder to launch and debug mobile applications on the desktop."
    So, I go and check the Certified devices in http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flashruntimes/certified-devices.html and find that the minimun FLASH PLAYER version accepted by ALL devices is FP 10.1
    1. Does this mean that if I want to release an app to target ALL mobile devices, then I can only use Flex 4.5?
    2. Do support for Flash Player mean the same than support for Adobe AIR? Or the application will prompt the user to install whatever version of the AIR runtime and all of them would be supported by the device, even in the FLASH PLAYER support is for a lesser version?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your help, Flex harUI,
    The first impression that comes to mind is that FP version is indeed only for the web browser plugin. Then, why does the official Flex 4.6 mobile development documentation have a link to that page that only speaks about the supported FP version in mobiles under the title "AIR requirements"??
    This makes it way too confusing.
    Do you know whether there is something like an equivalent matrix/list of mobile devices with their supported AIR runtime versions?  I went a great deal in trying to keep my original app under 400kb... I didn't know that in the end it would end up weighing 9.5Mb... :S
    Thanks again,

  • How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro

    How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro that I had installed on my computer before Microsoft crashed my computer and I had to do a fresh install? I finished reinstalling Win 8.1Pro on my computer thanks to Microsoft Lvl 1 Techies corrupting my Command Structure so nothing would work. I had recently taken a picture of my installed programs (control panel, uninstall programs list) so that I would be able to reinstall everything I needed. I can't seem to find an email for the Reader which I remember paying for, the others I believe were free installs. Can anyone help me out.

    The problem is that Google has an onmousedown attribute added to the links that modify a link if you click or right-click a result link to make the link point to a safe browsing check on the Google server.<br />
    You can see that if you hover a link and you will notice that after you have (right) click a link the the URL changes to www.google.com/url?xxxxx.
    You can use this bookmarklet to remove the onmousedown attributes.
    <pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('*[id="search"] a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

    Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

  • Flash Player Uninstalled and clean install but will NOT work

    Yesterday my Flash Player stopped working.  I tried to update and it crashed.  I uninstalled all of the Flash Player info and then did several clean installs.  I tried previous verisons and it still won't work.   I have Windows 7, I use Mozilla Firefox and not sure what else you need to know to help me fix this before I lose my freakin' mind. 

    OK, I will try, but I really don't know. I don't have any other recommendations of places to go and just use Flash like you do. You say it just quit working in Win7. Since you mention Firefox, I am assuming you are using Flash as a plugin for Firefox. Usually when such a problem occurs, something has updated. It may be that the flash plugin in Firefox is disabled.
    Did something else update when Flash quit working. When you say it quit working, what are the symptoms. I went to the samples I listed below to check operation -- what did you do?
    I just updated both Firefox and Flash. I then went http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/samples.html and played a movie sample. No problems.
    All I can do is try to help you troubleshoot and see if I can replicate your problem. After the update of flash, I tried the same sample in SeaMonkey and IE (Ugh). Both worked. I am running Win7, 32-bit for this test. Acrobat version is not relevant for the problem.
    If this does not point to something for you, then more information on what you are defining as working may be needed. At this point, I see no issues on my end and can not replicate a fault. Firefox is now at 18.0.2 and Flash is at 11.6. It is interesting that it is listed as Shockwave Flash from Adobe in the plugins list. If you search for Shockwave Flash, Adobe indicates a version at 12.0. I am not sure about the difference.
    Maybe some of this will help.

  • Capabilities.version returns the flash player version within AIR?

    Capabilities.version returns my flash player version, "WIN 10,1,53,64", and not the AIR version within my air app. The Flex 4 reference states, "Specifies the Flash Player or Adobe® AIR® platform and version information". I assume this behavior is a bug, then. How can I obtain the version of AIR programmatically within AIR?
    My version of AIR is 2.5.1.17730.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    To get the AIR runtime version please try:
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.runtimeVersion
    I'll ask around about the docs, it does appear to be misleading.

    Hello I have a Dell inspiron 6400 computer with window's home vista and with the latest standard Internet explorer. i was enjoying the fact that i could watch Youtube and other such sites until i was prompt to downlaod the latest version (10.1) flash player. which like anyone else I did, but not the mcfee anti virious as it would be inconflicsion with Norton anti virious.

  • Flash player 10.1 still not working (more information).

    A few months back, I made a thread concerning my situation of specific flash content not being played.
    I have returned, with hopes that my trials and tribulations may provide more insight into my problem.
    Basics
    Windows XP 32bit (v2002) - Media Center
    Service Pack 3
    Audio and Visual drivers up-to-date.
    Web Browsers
    IE8
    Google Chrome (6.0.472.62)
    Mozilla Firefox (3.6.8)
    All of these are running on the latest Shockwave and Flash players.
    The Problem
    Various types of Flash content cannot be played. This is what I have been working on for the past few months.
    1. YouTube works fine.
    2. ShockwaveFlash objects that are located on my hard-drive play fine.
    3. Embedded Players  (most commonly MySpace and JWplayer) will often freeze upon page loading, or will never load (progress circle spins forever).
    These issues, however, were avoided upon using Firefox to view the pages (I was originally using Chrome). An new version of chrome was just released, and it APPEARS to only have problems with the MySpace player. Haven't tested this yet, though.
    Video streams are completely out as well (except YouTube streams).
    These embedded videos on the video-indexing sites I visit may never load depending on their type, but they will often work normally when viewed on the site that owns the player.
    4. Embedded Objects (such as flash games) will vary in playability from site to site (an embedded version might not work on one site, but another site which hosts it as an executed file by itself will).
    The flash games will play through intros, but freeze (right-click "play" box becomes unchecked) upon reaching an interactive menu, or any sort of interface.
    5. I have tried fixing the Global/Local Settings and all the stuff there. I have tried changing the amount of data storage allowed for sites, but the flash games WILL NOT set any data. This makes sense, since they are not even running...

    Shockwave Flash Object - Check
    get_atlcom Class - huh?
    Shockwave ActiveX Control - Check
    Did not find Flach10h.ocx          I guess this is where a warning light should go off in our heads.
    Older Versions
    Since this all started when Flash 10.1 came out, a logical assumption would be that downgrading my version number would solve the problem.
    It did not. I tried a good half-dozen of the archived versions (none below 9.0 or not for my OS) and nothing happened. Really, nothing. Same old problems.
    Other Stuff?
    Disabling hardware-acceleration did nothing. just putting that out there.

    Hi, Norton normally just Disables the Windows Firewall and runs their own; first I've heard they gave a choice.
    So are you running the Norton Firewall or the Windows?
    Several things are going on, having your Internet Security set to Medium-High blocks ActiveX Controls from working. Guess what the Shockwave Flash Object is? It is the ActiveX Control in your browser that works with your Flash Player files and the websites so you can view Flash Content & Videos.
    Then the Norton Toolbar, the Intrusion Prevention and the NCO BHO conflicts with the browser and FP. Now the ControlInstaller Class and the PSFactoryBuffer must be new browser add ons from Norton. I'll research them and see what they are about.
    Your Norton add ons, Norton Firewall, the RP add ons and your Security Setting for the Internet Zone are all conflicting and blocking Flash Player Content and Videos from the Websites.
    In other words Flash Player is trying to work for you and all of those just mentioned are saying, no way!!
    So I guess you'll need to decide if you want to use Flash Player or be extra extra secure.
    Let me know,
    Thanks,
