Does Flash Player only work with web content?

Thought I'd better start a new thread on this, as my previous
question has shifted emphasis.
Does the free Flash Player download only provide Flash
capability within the web browser? Or can it play local SWFs? If
not, do I need the whole Flash product to just play?

yes, yes, and no
YES: The player you download is the activex control and
Netscape plug-in
that browsers use .. not a separate program. So yes it is
effectively for
use in the browser only.
YES: You can fire local SWFs using it by opening them within
your browser.
It is only for web content.
NO: You do not need a stand-alone flash player (that comes
with the Flash
product) to view SWF content (local or on the web)

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Adobe flash player only works with a few flv file.

    When I installed Firefox 4.0b10 I can only play half of the flv files on the upgrade. I've reinstalled adobe flash player now I get sound but no video.

    Chrome has its own Flash Player built in by Google. It functions independently of the ActiveX plug-in for IE.
    See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448  and  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968  to be sure it's properly enabled and the ActiveX filtering isn't blocking Flash.

  • Why does Flash Player not work with Firefox 16?

    I am posting this question on behalf of wdanh, whose comment on Adobe Flash Professional FAQs was deleted.

    what is the exact issue?  flash content not loading or plugin not initializing or other?  post platform information also.  thanks...

  • Why does Flash player not work on samsung galaxy tablets?

    Hello, I am wondering why they do not have flash player for samsung galaxy tab 3? I just recently got the 8.0 sized one and it has great features,but no flash player? To have an up to date electronic device,and older electronic devices carry it,but you won't put it on new devices? Is there a way to get it to work or download it? It has stopped me from viewing many different things on my tablet unfortunately and this may cause me to return it.

    Android dropped all support for Flash last year (June 2012).
    Going back to 2006, when Apple released the first iPhone and iOS 1, Steve Jobs was insistent that it be made incompatible with Flash Player because (in his words) playing Flash content is processor consumptive and kills batteries, and well as shortening battery life in mobile devices. Android came along a little while later, but their reason for droppiong Flash last year was the same.
    Adobe continued developing "security updates" for the Flash Player that worked with older versions of Android, but even that ended in September of this year. Adobe will not continue development of a product for an incompatible format.
    Android recommends either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" browser from the GooglePlay store (both are free). They use "server side" technology to play Flash content without taxing your tablet or phone's processor.

  • Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it

    I downloaded flash player and did not specify any special preferences, however, it doesn't work for the 2 other accounts on the computer.  It only runs for the Administrator account from which i downloaded it. I'm running XP professional. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

    hi, i had already deleted cookies, temp internet files, etc;
    i only have the IE pop up blocker and blocking level set at Medium;
    it's the latest version of FP 10.0.45.2.
    I installed this version a couple of weeks ago and it worked ok for all accounts (the other 2 accounts are not admin) for a week. Then, it stopped working for all accounts, i reinstalled it (some trial and error involved), then when it finally reinstalled, only works for the one account. i just tried to reinstall from one of the other accounts and error mssg said  "failed to register"

    Hi ol, I would go to Tools, click on Internet Options and clear the Temp files. Delete Cookies, Delete Files, including the off line content. I would do this using all accounts. Also check the history files while you are there and delete those also unless you have done so recently.
    What version of Flash Player do you have Installed?
    Do you use any adblock or pop up blocker software?
    Thanks,

    Does ipod touch only work with wi-fi? Can I download games through home mac?

    iPod touch is Wi-Fi only, yes. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by games from home Mac, but you can purchase game apps in iTunes and sync them to your iPod.

  • Does T400 can only work with up to 4GB RAM?

    Does T400 can only work with up to 4GB RAM?
    Here (http://support.lenovo.com/en_NO/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD005598), it says 512 MB, 1 GB, 2GB, or 4GB memory.
    So if more than 4GB RAM, will it do harm to the hardware of T400? Or just only 4GB will be used, and no any harm?

    That doc was probably written when there were not 4GB DIMMs available, or at least being commonly used. T400 will work with any combination of 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DIMMs, up to 8GB total. I tried single 8GB DIMM and it didn't work

  • Flash player only works in administrator account. In the user account safari can't play flash videos (youtube or others) while firefox can. OSX 10.5.8 safari 5.0.5 / latest flash player. I have tried almost everything! Any help?

    Flash player only works in administrator account. In other accounts safari can't play flash videos (youtube or others) while firefox can. OSX 10.5.8 safari 5.0.5 / latest flash player. I have tried almost everything. Reinstall safari and flash player, repair permissions.... Any help?

    Repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    If that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.

  • Does Flash Media Server work with Wirecast?

    Does Flash Media Server work with the encoding software, Wirecast?
    Do any of you have experience integrating the two? Good or bad ?
    I'm currently using Red5, which doesn't work with Wirecast, but I'd like to be able to use Wirecast.
    Any advice would be appreciated!
    Best wishes.

    Thanks again for your help on this!
    I'm very new at this and don't really understand :
    if you've enabled SWF verification on the FMS side, and made an exception for the FMLe user-agent,
    I haven't done anything as far as setting other verifications, etc. This is just a default install of the FMS 3.5 Developers version.
    But I have tried all 3 user agents, still, none can connect. I still keep getting the "Can't publish stream... check credentials/tokens" error message 4020.
    Any other thoughts/ideas?
    Best wishes.

  • Does ws adapter only work with asynchronous web service?

    Hi all,
    can you please confirm whether or not ws adapter (PI 7.1) only works with asynchronous web service?
    I have created an async. outbound service interface in PI 7.1, generated the client proxy in ECC, created an web service based on the proxy, wrote a test program to call the web service (PI scenario uses ws adapter in the sender CC). Everything works fine.
    Then I did the same thing with sync. outbound service interface. I got exception while calling the web service in ECC.
    I've heard that ws adapter is designed for async. communication. Does it mean that it won't work with sync. web service?
    I haven't seen any official SAP document saying taht ws adapter only works for async. web service. If you have any, can you please share it?
    Thanks
    Jayson

    Thank you all for your information.
    The error I got when calling the proxy with logical port (web service) is:
    SOAP:1,007 SRT: Unsupported xstream found: ("HTTP Code 404  : Not Found") 
    I will debug it to see what exactly happens. And will keep you guys updated.
    Just debugged, the error is because the http header's content type is text/html while it should be test/xml. However this type is set by the ws runtime, not by the application. Anybody has an idea about this?
