E-Mail Notification for new versions of Flash Player?

I work in a internal IT department with just under 500 PCs. I dot not have my user base setup with admin rights. So when a new version of Adobe Flash Player comes out, I have to have it tested. Then push it to a beta group and then deploy to the rest of the company. My question is that I would like to receive a notice via email that there is a new version out there that I should get started on my testing. Right now, my user base quite often find out before me or as soon as I do.
Any Ideas?

I currently use a free web service called FollowThatPage.com which sends me an email anytime a webpage changes.
You could setup a watch pointed at the flash player versions page:  Archived Flash Player versions
And you'll get an email anytime the page is updated.  There are advanced options for filtering out changes only to the content you care about.
Best,
-Jeff

  • DW keeps asking for new version Adobe Flash Player

    Hello There,
    I try to show a Flash-10 animation in DW CS4 and I get the messageVoor het weergeven van de inhoud op deze pagina is een nieuwe versie van Adobe Flash Player vereist.
    In English: for representing the content of this page you need the new version of Adobe Flash Player.
    I download the new version (two times: In IE 8 and Firefox) and I still get the same message. How come?
    When I try-out in Flash everything is OK and the HTML-page is also OK in every browser there is.
    Can anybody help me out this mess?
    Thanks in advance,
    Robert

    Hello Waterdad,
    Thanks for your reply, but it didnot solve the problem yet. I have the following remarks to your answer:
    Yes, I am running Windows, but I have no firewall active. I do use Norton, but that should not be the problem.
    How is it possible that directly from Flash everything works perfectly in publishing (Flash, HTML, etc.) and when I export the file to DW and make a blank page with only the flash-item it fails. For clarity: live view is also working perfectly.
    The browser effect is then that IE8 does not react at all, Safari shows a blank page and Firefox comes with the announcement of the new version as noted above. So in one way or another the browsers recognize my brand new Flash version as an older one.
    When I make a video in Flash, the f4v-extension does not work either, the flv-extension works perfect. Seems to be the same problem.
    I hope you can say some more about a possible solution.
    Robert

  • How do i download a newer version of Flash player.  I have tried 10 times, it says complete..however

    How do I download a new version of flash player.  I have tried 10 times, each time it says complete.  However when I need it on a site, it says I don't have it????????   Thank you

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem than sam6sam had except that I'm on Safari. After the Mountain Lion security update I did last Friday, I had to update Flash. I installed .149, deinstalled, restarted, reinstalled .149 about 2 dozens times and it didn't work. Yesterday I saw that you had .167 and thought "finally they will have fixed this issue". After doing the same deinstall restart and install routine another dozen time, I give up! 
    I've followed all the instructions on this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html 
    and this page:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5067997#5067997
    and this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    and still nothing.
    It looks like it's installed. When I go into System Preference Flash Player shows "Plug-in version 11.6.602.167 is installed.", yet when I want to see a flash video it tells me that I don't have the software and need to install it. My Safari Preferences allow for Pop-up and Enable Plug-in. My "open 'safe' files after downloading" is clicked.
    I've search all of Adobe, Apple and other geeky website's "help" area, and nothing I tried worked, including the "sudo" commands in the terminal (the answer to this one is "command not found").
    I'm really frustrated by this. There is certainly something that I overlooked, but I cannot figure it out. Help!

  • Should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player ?

    should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player to benefit of any new optimization bugs and new features ? I saw that the version of flash player will increase every 3 months.
    is CC is able to offer publish settings with every 3 months new version ?
    thanks

    Its simple: any advanced feature that would improve the performance has to be adressed by the code you write to be useful.
    So say in Flash 12 Adobe Introduces Stage4D, simply publishing your existing Flash 11 work that uses Stage3D will not use the Stage4D Features present in Flash 12,
    you would have very likely to rewrite some of your code to profit from the benefits.
    So recompiling on its own, will do nothing useful for you.

  • How to avoid installing newer version of flash player

    Hey,
    After installing the newer version of flash player it caused troubles to me, and I don't see any way but to install an older version of Flash Player, however after I have installed it the game forces me to Install the newest version of Flash Player, otherwise it cannot run. So here is my question. How can I use an older version of Flash Player I had before without installing the newer version of it?
    - Dan

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
    Hope that helps,

  • The new versions of Flash Player for Android are still not in the Archive page!

    I feel like something is missing in the Flash Player Archive page.  Yesterday, I read that the new Flash Player version for Android 2.x/3.x is now version 11.1.111.73, and that the new Flash Player version for Android 4.x is now 11.1.115.81, but instead, all I see are previous versions of Flash Player for Android 4.x, 3.x, and 2.x!  When will the newest Flash Player versions for Android be available to the archive page?  Here's a link for the Archive Page:  http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html 

    Ok, we're fixing it and it should be resolved by tomorrow.  Please let me know if you can't find it by tomorrow evening.
    Thanks again for letting us know!

  • Is the new version of Flash player compatible with FF 3.6.17?

    I updated to the new version of Flash - 10.3.181.26 - because of some sort of problem with the old version. Now FF does not recognize Flash as being installed. I have both versions in .mozilla/plugins. I use .new and .old as the extension for the one I am not using. Version 10.3.d162 works when it is .so. 10.3.181 does not.

    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
    - Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
    - Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
    Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

  • Help with downloading new version of flash player not accepting password

    I am having trouble downloading the new flash player version.  Adobe is not excepting my password even with changing it several times.  Need help with downloading the new version.

    It's NOT an Adobe password. It's your Operating System (admin) password.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player (Mac OS X)

  • Their is a newer version of Flash Player already installed

    Flash Player automatically updates.  Today I tried to use Facebook to upload some photos.  Facebook gave me a warning that said I needed the latest update to Flash Player.  I went to the Adobe website to try to update the Adobe Flash Player.  When I try to run the installer, it gets as far as "Installing" and then stops saying Note: Newer version already installed.  The Troubleshooting page on the Flash Player support site says I have Flash Player 14.0.0.101 and the newest version is 13.0.0.  I have not manually installed or updated anything, except for trying to install the update after receiving the original error messages.

    This means you have a beta version of Flash Player installed.  Uninstall it with http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/flashplayer14_uninstall_m ac.dmg
    then download and install the release version http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_13_osx.dmg

  • Help - swf only displays as white box or "download new version of flash player"

    I've installed a swf banner on my site but only get either a white box that's the same dimensions as the swf should be or this
    Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

    I've tried setting the flash properties to transparent and that hasn't helped. I'm really stumped here.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thank you! I finally figured it out a solution!! I saved the swf as a flash 10.1 document rather than the pre-set 10.2 and am happy to report that it worked. I've been able to view it on an imac and a windows device but it still doesn't work on an ipad. The only solution I can think of for this is to have a link at the top of my page that says " ipad and i phone users click here" --- and the link would be www.mysite.com/idevice"
    where there would be an exact replica of my page minus the annimated banner OR with a version that would be viewable on an I pad/phone.

  • I have  a newer version of flash player installed then what is listed as the most recent version??

    Hello,
    I am checking the version i have installed of flash player via the adobe version check option at the site and i have version 11.8.800.94 and when i check the list of the latest versions of Adobe, i see 11.7.700.169 listed as being the latest vversion. How can i have a version installed that's above that? I haven't installed a beta version, never signed up for beta testing and all i did was install the latest version of flash player via the website.
    I am wondering what this is cause recently when viewing videos on youtube, my videos tend to hang up or end halfway through and think the video ended when it's not. My guess now is that i have sumhow obtained a version of flash player that's not correct and thus why the videos go haywire now. Re-installing flash player sets it back to the 11.8 version again, so that didn't work.
    Any information any1 might have that can solve this is much appreciated.

    11.8.800.94 is the latest version for Windows and Mac. 11.8.800.115 is the latest beta version. http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_118_air_38_release_notes.html

  • When I try to install the new version of Flash Player on my iMac, Adobe installer rejects apple ID

    Adobe installer claims my Apple ID is incorrect when I try to install the new Flash Player.  iMac + OS Mavericks.  I have tried it many times.  Same ID works on two iPads, iTunes, etc. and on the iMac whenever it is asked for, other than with Flash Player installer.  Aggro+++++++

    OK, thanks for answering, but after reading all the instructions and help on Adobe website, it was clear that it was my OS user ID that was wanted, but that kept being rejected, too.  So today I contacted Apple support and it took a half hour to correct the problem, which was with the original ID——everything had to be reset, e.g. new ID, keychain reset, etc. and then I was able to get the new Flash Player.  It is still STRANGE to me that nowhere else did I have a problem, but it seems it was a glitch with Mavericks and my computer.
    Good to know it was not Adobe…….
    Thank you,
    Patricia

  • After installing the newer version of flash player 10.3.181.14, My firefox 4 started crashing.

    I used to get Flash player plugin crashed but my Firefox never crashed, and that problem was easily resolved by just refreshing that page. But now my Firefox crashes and i have to restart it. which is really frustrating.
    I have tried FF3, FF5 beta and the older version of flash player (10,2,159,1) and now i am used this old version but my firefox is still crashing regularly.

    And it happens alot in Facebook.
