Dreamweaver insists on latest version of Flash

If I insert an SWF file into a Dreamweaver page the browser comes up with a message saying my Flash player isn't up to date and I have to download a new version of the player.
But if I dial up the SWF file itself, it plays perfectly.
I tried cutting out the bits of code in Dreamweaver that refer to the current version of Flash, but the page simply stopped working.
Is there anything wrong with just pointing viewers to the raw SWF file directly, without having it placed on a page? Or is there anyway to stop Dreamweaver from insisting on the latest Flash version?
Here's the code automatically generated by Dreamweaver:
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="774" height="594">

Do these two lines make you go "Hmmmm..."?

  • I downloaded the latest version of flash player, not working?

    I just got my computer back from being fixed and I'm redownloading everything I need.
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 and i downloaded the latest version of flash player for it. It appears to be installed because there's a window opens up saying "Thank you, enjoy flash player." or something like that after I have downloaded the flash player.
    I've tried several times and I STILL can't watch videos or do things that require flash player.
    I went to my system preferences, clicked on Flash Player and went to the advanced bar, and it says "Plug-in version 11.9.900.117 is installed."
    However, when i go to this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
    And I click the "Check Now" button to see if flash player has been installed onto my computer, it says:
    "Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled.
    Please go to step 2."
    And so I did and downloaded it AGAIN. I only saw the same thing after i reloaded the page and tried again.
    I do not have an anti-virus program, so it can't be that.
    Is the flash player enabled?
    How do I check if it's enabled/enable it?

    It's usually in your browser's Tools section.

  • For the past week, I am unable to view videos. The page comes up with this comment: "Blocked plug-in" and it suggests that I download the latest version of Flash player. I have downloaded that and still get the same comment. Please help.

    I have an iMac11.2 and am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I have not had a problem viewing videos until the past week or so. Now I cannot view videos on my news, facebook or in email messages at all. A message pops up in the window that says "Blocked plug-in". I have downloaded the latest version of Flash Player for which it asks and still no luck. Can anyone here help me with this? Thank you. Grace

    TThere have been 3 updates to flash player ink the past month.
    download and install the latest.
    this warning seems to be a part of the newer security updates.

  • I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon in the trash now? (I am on a Mac) Thank you!

    I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player, as recommended by Firefox. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon that appears on my desktop, in the trash now? I am on a Mac and I am not technically inclined.
    Thank you!

    Your list of plugins shows that you have installed Flash 10.2 r152 which is the current release version.
    You can also confirm that Flash is installed by visiting this link - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about

  • Why can't I download the latest version of Flash player?

    My system recently updated from Windows Explorer 9 to Windows Explorer 10. But I was encountering issues with trying to update to the latest version of Flash even prior to that.  I keep getting the prompt that an update is available, but when I follow the steps, I get to Step 1, and click on the "Install now" button, and the screen changes to Step 2 but nothing else happens.  For a moment it says "Initializing..." and then it says "If you encounter any issues downloading Adobe Flash Player, click here."  But nothing else happens.  If I click on the "Click here" button, it just tells me that when the File Download box appears I should click "Run" and when the User Account Control box appears I should click "Yes."  But neither of these boxes ever appears!  Very frustrating!  (My current Adobe Flash version is 11.9.900.170 and my security program is Norton 360).  Thanks.

    Download and run these installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Trying to install latest version of Flash for Firefox on WinXP, get Internet Explorer Script Error

    I'm trying to install the latest version of Flash (filename install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe), browser = Firefox 14 (current), OS = Windows XP.  I've tried multiple times, making sure to disable Norton Antivirus Autoprotect first.
    At some point along the process - either during download or during installation - I get the following error message:
    Internet Explorer Script Error
    Line: 1
    Char: 10010
    Error: 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is undefined
    Code: 0
    URL: http://127.0.0.1:1174/app/_js/adobe.js
    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? [yes] [no]
    Whether I answer [yes] or [no] the result is the same - the program hangs. It does not close, and when I close it manually it asks if I really want to stop it. But if I leave it there, nothing happens.
    Per advice of the website, I uninstalled Flash in order to start over fresh. What that means is that, instead of having an outdated version of Flash, I now have none.
    I've tried to RTFM but searches for this error come up empty.  I'm curious why Internet Explorer is being involved in this to begin with. But mostly, I'm just curious how to get this thing to work.
    Thanks for whatever help you can give me.
    Dave

    We're investigating this issue and we'd like to get some additional details.  I'd appreciate if anyone experiencing these errors could do the following steps:
    Download the Flash Player installer
    Open a command prompt and navigate to the installer location (eg. "cd c:\users\username\downloads\")
    Run the installer, using a “/debug”.argument  (eg. “install_flashplayer11x32ax_chrd_aih.exe /debug”)
    Once the installer runs and the error is reproduced, a file named “host.developer.log” will be created in your system’s temp folder.
    You can quickly access the temp folder by clicking on Start > Run, then type "%temp%". 
    Locate the "host.developer.log" file and either post the contents in a reply or send directly to [email protected]
    Along with the debug log, please include the following info:
    Operating System (if you're on XP, what service pack do you have installed)
    Browser
    Network proxy setup (if applicable)
    Thanks!

  • Latest Version of Flash will not work in Opera or Safari

    My windows pc has been updated to internet explorer 11 with the latest version of Flash. Flash works fine in this browser but now I cannot get it running in my Safari or Opera browser on the same pc. The plug ins are enabled in IE11. I have tried to reinstall Flash several times but it still won't work. Does anyone have a solution and why can't the flash control panel be accessed ?

    When you download with IE, there is javascript that detects the OS and browser and will "push" the ActiveX plugin, which is ONLY good for IE.
    There are two different pluigns for WIndows.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Make sure you've installed them BOTH.

  • Hi, My macbook air doesn't supporting latest version of flash-player. I can't watch videos on youtube

    Whenever I click on any vedio on youtube it always ask me to get the latest version of flash player. Link for latest version also provided in vedio screen. several times I tried after remoing and reinstalling of latest version of flash player but it doesn't work so far.

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    5. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    6. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Latest Version of Flash Installation Help

    When I go to install the plugin in, firefox it always gives
    me an error saying the download was unsuccessful. So I go and
    download flash manually and install it. It says the installation
    was complete/successful yet when I launch Firefox or Safari they
    both tell me to get the latest version of flash, which I can't do
    since no installation of any kind seems to be unsuccessful. Help is
    much appreciated.

    Please refer to Dec 17 posting for possible fix.

  • Can't download and install latest version of Flash...

    I have tried several times to download and install the latest version of Flash player. It says it's downloaded, shows me that it's installing, then, when I click "Finish", it takes me to a website that says "Step 3 of 3", but is otherwise blank. I continue to see an error message on websites that require Flash; the error message tells me that Flash is out of date. Not sure how that's possible, since I just (supposedly) downloaded and installed the latest version from the website. I have walked through all of the troubleshooting steps on the Adobe site, with no luck. It's quite frustrating. What else can I do?

  • Firefox won't use latest version of flash.

    I've downloaded and installed the latest version of flash. The problem is that Firefox refuses to use it, and instead decides to tell me to upgrade every time I go to a site that uses flash. It uses an outdated version...

    You show Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 as being installed for Firefox. Un-install that through the Control Panel.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here, to get the one for Firefox: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
    See this: <br />
