Does allowing adobe flash player plug in on safari give access to websites the ability to upload and transfer documents and files(on the computer) without permission?

Does allowing adobe flash player plug in on safari give access to websites the ability to upload and transfer documents and files(on the computer) without permission? Perhaps to their online server or somewhere where they designated them to transfer to?

It depends a bit on which version of Captivate you used to develop your modules and also which version of Flash Player you targeted when publishing your modules from Captivate. Say for example you use Captivate 5 and publish to Flash Player 10. Then your end user would need to have Flash Player 10 on their computer. It shouldn't matter if their version is 10.0.0 or 10.1.0 or 10.1.3 - just as long as it's a 10. If they only have Flash Player 9 then they will need to upgrade.
The "Access to Adobe.com is restricted" is most likely because the HTML that launches the Captivate SWF sees that you have targeted FP10 and the user only have FP9. Then it tries to direct a call to Adobe in order to present an "Upgrade to latest version of Flash" dialog for the user. This traffic is most likely denied by your IT department.
The first step is to find out which version of Flash Player is the most prevalent in your organization. If it is Flash Player 9 then simply select that when publishing from Captivate 5. If Flash Player 8 is the most used in your organization and you have CP5 or CP5.5 then you are in big trouble since FP8 is not supported from CP5 and CP5.5.

    You can control your exposure to Flash by installing the ClickToFlash or ClickToPlugin Safari extension.

  • Ubuntu 10 (Linux) & Firefox 3.6 ~ How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in & ActiveX control

    Ubuntu 10.045 (Linux) and Firefox 3.6.3  ~  How to uninstall the Adobe  Flash Player plug-in & ActiveX control
    In general Adobe needs to offer Ubuntu (Linux) support.  I don't use Windows anymore and will go with whatever company provides me the Plug In's I need to function.  In this case at the current time, I can't use Adobe flash Player to view You Tube video's.  I followed the link that helps a user fix the problem:
    Solve a Problem: The video won't play:
    http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=56115
    I then saw that you suggested that I first needed to uninstall any older versions of the Flash Player and then install the latest version of the Flash player.  I clicked on the link find out how to uninstall it here:

    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    They didn't offer any help with Ubuntu 10.045 (Linux).  Please offer the instructions and automatic (non-terminal) uninstaller.  Also, I want an automatic installer for Ubuntu 10 (Linux) & Firefox 3.6 that is easy like like you have for Windows and like Sun's Java has for Linux.

    You should go to this site to see what versions of Flash Player and Shockwave Player you have installed.
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
    The versions you are listing (10.0 r12, 10.0 r2) appear to be Shockwave Plauer versions, not Flash Player.
    If you want to uninstall Flash Player, there should be an uninstaller in the install directory.  I do not know where that is on Linux.

  • I want an alternative to Adobe flash player plug-in for my Windows 8 computer 64 bit

    I am so sick of Adobe flash player plug-in not being responsive with Firefox
    can you recommend an alternative to Adobe flash player plug-in for my Windows 8 computer 64 bit
    thanks

    Mozilla is currently developing an open standards-based Flash renderer called Shumway.
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Shumway
    Available as an extension [http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/extension/firefox/shumway.xpi here]. ''< click to launch the add-on installer.''
    ''It seems to work fine on YouTube videos in the Firefox 31 release version, although it is somewhat CPU intensive.''
    And also available in the Nightly development versions.
    http://nightly.mozilla.org/
    Feel free to try it out, but make sure you install it into its' own Program Files folderset and make sure you create a unique Profile for use only with Nightly. If the same Profile is used with both Release and pre-release versions problems sometimes arise after switching back and forth between different versions of Firefox. Basically, Nightly is like 18 weeks ''(at a minimum)'' removed from becoming a release version, but some projects stay on Nightly for a longer time as they are being developed. That happens to provide as many user / testers as possible, by not resorting to a separate development trunk version.

  • Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem

    Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem ,I do not know why Apple is so Popular

    but Adobe is, in fact, continuing to update Flash for Android.
    Only essential bug and security fixes. No new feature updates have been released for 2 years.
    Of course we have those who wish fervently that the lack of Flash supprt will damage Apple severely and obsess about it all the time.
    I thought they'd realised it was a lost cause ages ago... they mostly seem to have disappeared from this forum, at least...

  • How to permanently disable this message: "Press Esc to exit full screen." (by Adobe Flash Player) in Mac's Safari Browser?

    Hello everyone,
    I have been searching for sometime (without any success) for a solution to permanently remove this annoying message: "Press Esc to exit full screen."
    Whenever I go to full screen mode, watching any video on YouTube, BBC, CNN (or many other websites which use Adobe Flash Player for streaming video) I have to bare seeing this message for several seconds until it fades away. Seeing this message once or twice would have been okay, but as we all watch many videos on a daily basis on internet, after weeks, months and now years seeing this message over and over again many times every day, it becomes very annoying, and I find myself rewinding many videos to their beginning after this message fades away to be able to watch it from the beginning without anything obstructing it!
    Does anyone know how to "permanently" disable this message from appearing?
    I am using the latest version of Safari 6.0 on the latest version of OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8.1), and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Plug-in version 11.4.402.265) installed on my new MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.
    Thanks,
    Ally

    Thanks Carolyn,
    I am attaching a screenshot here for you to see that this setting was already set to what you suggested. I didn't need to change it as it was like this even before I post this message.
    So the problem still presists and unfortunately your suggestion is not a solution to this probelm.
    Last night I did more reseach and found a discussion in Adobe website, it seems a lot of other people have the same issue, and even started a discussion in Adobe website about it. But unfortunately Adobe refuses to address it and enable the end user at least to have an option to turn this message off from displaying permanently on his/her computer.
    I am writing down the url links for the two posts regarding this issue on Adobe's website:
    Link #1: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921270
    Link #2: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3058752
    Hopefully more people will get involved and ultimately we will either get Adobe's attention, or someone will find a "hack" and post it here for all of us. I have found some suggested "hacks" for Windows environment (you can simply google it, I am sure you will find them too). But so far I haven't seen anything for Mac's Safari browser.
    Cheers,

  • Flash player plug-in causing safari to crash

    Hello,
    I have been having a lot of problems lately with the flash player plug-in causing safari to lockup and at times crash. I have gone to the adobe website and reinstalled the flash player, but it still is happening. Is any one else having this problem? It happens on a wide variety of sites, and not just one. Any ideas why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Thanks for the files, that was really helpful.  Google Image Search doesn't use Flash, but we're investigating a couple issues specific to this Intel 4000 chipset that have been reported on both Mac (Yosemite specifically) and Windows over the last couple weeks. 
    It's unlikely that Flash is causing this, just because we're interacting with the GPU at a pretty high level of abstraction.  My suspicion is that this is a graphics driver bug. 
    My guess is that if you disable Hardware Acceleration in Flash and/or Safari, that this will go away.  It's not an optimal solution, but it should give you a temporary workaround and confirm that we're looking in the right place.
    The video troubleshooting guide includes instructions on disabling hardware acceleration in Flash:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
    I don't see an easy option in Safari 8 for disabling hardware acceleration, so let's start with that.

    TL;DR, Adobe doesn't make flash for the iPad, and they never will. If you want to view or play flash content, do it on a computer.
    Hopefully, this is the END of this thread.

  • How to install Adobe Flash Player plug in on my new computer with Windows 8.

    How can I install Adobe Flash Player which does not have a plug in on my new computer with Windows 8.  The instructions tell me that Flash Player is embedded in my Internet Explorer but all my choices for playig videos say no plug in is installed.

    See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448
    If that fails,
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
