Flash 8 security problem???

Hey all! I have spent the best part of the last two days
trying to discover what I'm doing wrong. I recently started
designing a new website with flash content, but for some 'security'
reason I cant seem to get anything to work properly.
I'm simply trying to create a button that opens a html file
in an iframe, (a task that should have taken 2 minutes to do!) but
It just isnt happening. I read some stuff on this site that says
there are some new security measures in place which seem to be
stopping me from doing what I want to do!
I tried the site on-line as well as off, but there is still a
problem. Could someone please give me som advice as to what I need
to do. I dont want to have to explain to every user that uses my
site, that they cant untill the go change a whole load of strange
options.
Please please help, im at the end of my tether..
Cheers.

Hi Lisa;
I just had something similar to the problem you are having.
The Solution was eluding me for about half-an-hour. Then I realized
that the preloader I made earlier was published for flash 6. While
I was editing the site, I had to use an option available in flash 8
publish settings. Once I saved the site in Flash 8 settings I was
having errors with the action script. I didn't make any changes at
all to the preloader actions script in my editing but it was now
showing an error. I got lucky and attempted to re-publish the site
back to Flash 6 Publish settings.....It worked. Also the flash 8
feature that I added still worked. So simply try and "Go back to
the future" and change your publish settings back to Flash 6
settings. No guarantees, but it worked for me.
Good Luck,
Rod

About the recent Adobe Flash security problem . . .

Okay, Flash was trashed and I get along without, using Google instead of
Safari when necessary. Still, a lot of sites do use Flash.
Somewhere I got the idea that Adobe has fixed that problem. I'd like to reload Flash but on their site there's no mention of it and I don't see anything elsewhere, so please, what's the present situation?

Harden your Mac against malware attacks

I have FoxIt. If Firefox has security problems, work it out for FoxIt. There are no circumstances I will accept Abode "bloatware" in my laptop or my eeePC netbook.

My computer regularly crashes, because it has limited resources. Today, it had crashed overnight because of a power outage and extremely low battery. It had nothing whatsoever to do with "security problems due to not updating Adobe PDF Reader".
I have FoxIt PDF Reader.
If Mozilla thinks Firefox has security problems, fix it. Make Firefox work better with FoxIt. But don't tell me I need Adobe "bloatware" in my limited resources older laptop or my EeePC netbook. There are no circumstances I will accept Adobe products in a computer in my control.
== Today.

I posted above as '''Anonymous''' because I cannot Login. This site reports ConnieD is an invalid user name.
I don't have an answer: If I delete Adobe Flash in Add/Remove Programs in Vista, Firefox browser will still function minus Adobe Flash?
I rely on my computer for communication, not for "entertainment" or intrusive advertising.
I have moved my bookmarks off Firefox.
If I don't have an answer, I will '''delete Firefox''' to get rid of Adobe Flash and Adobe Flash security problem's "notices".
Firefox isn't different enough from other browsers to have to keep Adobe Flash. I think I only dislike "pop-ups" more than Adobe bloat, Adobe intrusiveness into privacy, and Adobe Flash bandwidth hogs and "refreshes".

Problems with Captivate Redirects, possibly Flash Security and XML

Hello fellow Captivarians,
First a little backstory, earlier in the year we developed a course that heavily used external image files, which were gathered and organised through an XML file, then placed into Captivate 4 through a widget. This was all developed in Actionscript 3 and was designed to be accessed locally, on the user's computer from a CD Drive.
We had a whole deal of issues with Captivate and Flash security issues, finding that we could not get the importing to work correctly in Internet Explorer as it outright refused to import the XML file (Presumably because of security issues). However, Firefox would work fine. Eventually we got it working via a bandaid solution by prepackaging the course with a firefox portable install.
Now many months later, we have discovered our previous solution still works, but it now outright denies any redirects from HTML page to HTML page, regardless if the content is on the CD or if it's on the harddrive. Buttons that link to external sources will not work, (even if it's just a local page in the same directory).Flash player simply refuses to redirect between HTML pages. We tried some older projects that were developed in AS2 - and this wasn't an issue.
The odd thing is however, on my computer it still works fine. However, on everyone elses in our office, it will not redirect at all. We are all running the same version of Flash Player, and the same version of Firefox...
Any ideas? Could it have been a recent update with the Flash Player that prevents this sort of interaction?
Cheers.

Hi there
Have you tried configuring the Flash Security Settings? That's my guess.
Click here for a tutorial on how to configure
If this will be on CD-ROM or DVD, you may need to consider adding a light version of a Web Server to the media and launching via that.

I agree with you, I tried different SOL editor and it work
when i tried.
I believe what I used was more than SOL explorer/reader
rather then editor
even tho it has this option is seem the file stop working and
hence the
problem I was claiming about the files not work properly.
Perhaps it was changing something and flash did not like
these changes.
Anyhow, I did try another tool and did manage to work.
Thanks

You Tube Widget - Flash Security Settings

Hello,
I managed to embed sucessfully a You Tube video by using flash factor widget. It works when published to a web server no problem. However it looks like anybody else who views it has to adjust their flash security settings.
Is there away around this issue?
Help would be greatly appreciated
Thankyou
Alison

Hi all
One way past this would be to include and install a light web server known as "Server2Go". It's pretty simple to install and it tricks the Flash Player into thinking the content is running from a server.
Site to obtain Server2Go:

Instructions for using it with Captivate:

Loading local content security problem

var playlistlink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("playlist.xml");
var playlistloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
try {
playlistloader.load(playlistlink);
}catch (e:Error){
addError("error:loading xml");
both swf and playlist.xml put into same domain. When I run
the flash there's no problem.
However, it seems not working when I embed the swf into a
html which in another domain, then there's a security problem. When
I embed swf into some blog post it even seems not running!
Anyone have any thought on that?

You'll need to have a crossdomain.xml file in domain you are
loading the playlist.xml file from.
A corssdomain.xml file might look like this. Note: This file
allows all other domains, which is probably not what you should
have in production.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>

Encore CS6 Flash Export problem, Grey screens

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports, they are not behaving as expected online (seems to be like a loading issue).
I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same. The same project exported from CS5.5 does not produce this undesirable
problem. It may be important to say that the project was started in CS5.5.
I have a button that links to another menu, and I am using videos as 'transitions'. The videos are dynamic after effects compositions.
When it's online, and you press the button it fills the canvas with a 'grey screen' before starting the video transition. This totally breaks
the experience and feels like an authoring error. It would be important to note, that this screens only appear the first time you see the flash.
Somehow the next time you press it doesnt show it.
I would happily go back to CS5.5 but I started using auto-activate buttons that are only available on CS6 flash exports.
Any ideas what has changed between this versions flash exports?
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
Cris

Encore CS6 6.0.2.004, IE9, Win7
Simple project, DVD NTSC, One menu with one button. One timeline. Menu first play, button linked to timeline.
Output flash with flv (and again with f4v - same results), No template, keep with flash swf rather than streaming.
Open index.html locally, must manually enable active content. Menu opens, movie plays. No grey screen.
Copy entire folder to USB, same result; USB plays on a different PC also.
Upload to web site; same result.
Am I doing soething differently from either of you? Are you using templates?
Factors related to flash security (for local and probably USB playback) can be problems. Various server settings can be problems for on line.

Problem is:
Flash Player for IE11 (which is the worst browser ever developed - BAR NONE) is a Microsoft product, when it comes right down to it.
Adobe writes the base code and yes, they do collaborate on updates for it, but the gang in Redmond alter the plug-in and add "proprietary" code before embedding it, and at that point it's "their baby".
There are two (2) registry keys - 1 for 32 bit IE and the other for 64 bit IE, as well as a KB patch that prevent all but the most experienced Windows users from ever touching the Flash Player plug-in for IE. So there's NO WAY you could have done a clean install of the ActiveX plug-in in Windows 8. Unless you're an uber-geek, you can only update it through Windows Update.
WIn 8 is an abomination and IE11 made it worse. IE has always been the "problem child" of browsers, failing to handle CSS, Javascript, some PHP and most design "tweaks" that good webmasters can use with other browsers, trouble free.
I have IE8 on XP, 9 on VIsta, 11 on 7, 10 on 8 and 11 on 8.1... but they're all for testing only. I'd have to be out of my mind to ever think of using IE as my primary browser. ActiveX controls have to be disabled formost stuff and that opens millions of security holes in IE.
You've got a good video card and a decent sound card. It's a shame to waste them on a pile of garbage like IE, just because it came with Windows.

Flash Font Problems

I'm using Flash CS4 and have wasted--over the course of the past 18 months--at least three days of work time trying, in vain, to make Flash fonts work completely consistently.
Problems: 1) Fonts don't appear after FontAgent activation (must copy to Adobe/Fonts folder), 2) Bits of styled type totally disappear on compile (haven't figured this one out and try to avoid certain faces), 3) and most recently, totally bizarre font display (looks like egg thrown against the wall), which, despite verifying the fonts, replacing them (even though they checked out fine), cleaning the font caches (with Font Finagler, nee Font Cache Cleaner), doing a million restarts and praying, are still screwed up.
One possible common thread is that these seems to be OpenType fonts. But the errors are totally inconsistent -- for example, the font with #3 above had worked fine for nearly a year before becoming hopelessly destroyed in the past five hours, and only *some* characters in #2 disappear.
I'm posting here mostly out of frustration, since previous posts on similar issues haven't yielded decent (working) solutions and Googling these problems (ad nauseam) mostly shows people using either different font managers (or none at all) or working with dynamic text. (Mine is static text.)
But perhaps someone has a definitive resource/recipe for troubleshooting and solving these font problems?
Or perhaps someone could shed some light on why Adobe uses separate font folders and caches?

OK, well! It seems that I'm **not** crazy. I just read in TidBITS today that what I saw last week was related to a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.7, which apparently fixed some font security problems, but broke something having to do with OpenType fonts. I guess I made the mistake of being on the bleeding edge.
http://db.tidbits.com/article/12078
I stick by my general complaint, however. Adobe or some good member of the community should create a definitive resource for understanding and solving font problems in Flash. I've spent a lot of time looking for answers to my questions in Adobe help docs, in questions posted on these forums, and Googling for solutions -- and have seen many, many others expressing my same frustration of wasted time and so-so answers. Since fonts are critical to pretty much every Flash project, this should be information that is **easy** to find.

Beware Flash Security Update

I received a request from Adobe upon booting to install a Flash security update. I did and when I went to a media website, it said I did not have Flash and needed to download. I then went to Adobe.com and tried to download Flash but it kept freezing at the ActiveX point. I re-opened my browser, and even rebooted, but still the same problem. Thinking the problem was the secutiry install, I performed a System Restore. Upon rebotting, I received the same Flash Security installation request but declined.
Upshot is no more problems. My current Flash works.
Why is Adobe sending out a Secuity patch that wipes out Flash and prevents downloading their product? Or is it a virus sent out that looks like it's from Adobe? My
McCafee didn't catch it if it's a virus?
Anyone else have this problem recently?

Dear Rudolfherrn,
I'm thankful for your information about difficulties with the Security patch update for Adobe Flash player. Distrustfull as I am I've tried first to get some information from Adobe about this update. I tried completely in vain. Then I happened to meet your contribution "Beware..."
I now think that we (and probably many others) got there a rather bad Christmas parcel.
May your holidays nevertheless be happy

Adobe flash security setting panel error

Issue is the following page no longer works as of today flash security setting https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.ht ml so went to instead https://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html however this does not function properly either, when I select the edit location and folder or files it closes and can't therefore set the setting. We use flash for a important application and users are currently affected as they can't get on as it doesn't work and can't get past this issue. Urgent issue.

Hi, I guess this is (almost) the same for Windows 2000 users? I have several folders with older Adobe/Shockwave appdata in my German Windows 2000 installation, e.g. C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Hans-Jürgen Bardenha\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe\Flash Player and/or C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Hans-Jürgen Bardenha\Application Data\Adobe\Shockwave Player 11, created on the date or shortly after OS installation. So it's safe to simply delete them with all their content if you have this issue of a freezing Adobe Flash setting panel?
By the way, I'm asking because I also experience freezing problems now with Flash content on sites that worked fine before the update to the latest plugin. Disabling hardware acceleration in v10.1. didn't help either, I'm using the newest Opera 10.60 final, but on a very old computer.

Opening and closing a frame from an applet security problem

can I open a frame or a window from an applet and close the frame by using
System.exit(0) for the frame or will it throw a security problem.

I am using system.exit(0) to exit the JVM.
dispose()
Releases all of the native screen resources used by this Window, its subcomponents, and all of its owned children. That is, the resources for these Components will be destroyed, any memory they consume will be returned to the OS, and they will be marked as undisplayable.
If this frame have to be close and open again don't use dispose.
there is no check whether a frame is active? what you can do is set the the new frame to null (frame = null) and also when you dispose it, this will let you know if the frame is active or not.

I got this warning when i open a specific page on my website in IE : MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:Error: A security problem occurred.

Hi,
I found out when i'm in IE and go to the page 'Artists'
and i click on a name, for example: 'Abel Equipe ELA/I Gomes'
I get this warning :
MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:Error: A security problem occurred.
This is only in IE, not when i use Safari or Chrome
this is the website link
Any ideas how to solve this problem?

There's an invalid hyperlink on the Abel Equipe ELA/I Gomes page on a bit of text that reads "with your input." You need to find this text within Muse, clear the hyperlink and enter a valid one.

Flash security settings not coming up in Firefox 17.0

Hi I have been successfully running my web project on Firefox browser till now.
I am using adobe flash 11.5 version in my project and i am using the same for recording audio and video from webcam and the headsets.
Before today everything was working quite good ,until..
I updated my firefox browser to version 17.0 and found that my flash security settings just vanished in the thin air.
I mean my flash used to show security settings(if the settings are set to deny or ask me mode),but after the update of firefox 17.0 ,i am not getting any security settings windows from flash.
I am manually changing the settings using control panel.I cant ask my users to do this.
So please look into this and provide a fix as soon as possible.
Thanks

can we get a link to see for ourselves? Or paste the HTML
code up here (specifically that which embeds the flash in the
page)

Flash security settings in javascript

hello all - (newbie here)
is there a way i can read the flash player camera/microphone security settings from javascript?
i need to be able to determine from jscript if somebody selected "allow" or "deny" for the camera/microphone.
also, is there a way in jscript i can determine when somebody hits the "close" button in the security question popup?
i am playing around with the html object-map-coords tags but that does not seem to be working.
or even better: can i determine via javascript when somebody hits the "close" button after answering the security questions?
NOTE: i dont have any access to the action-script.
thank you!

I don't kknow of any easy/automatic way to do it, but It can
be faked...
You can put the javascript on the html page calling on the
flash file. Inside the flash file use a preloader to determine when
the page is fully loaded. Then instead of just playing the movie
put in a
getURL("javascript:name();");
function to call the javascript once the page is fully
loaded.
This will do what you want. However thanks to new flash
security it probably will not work until you publish the file to a
server. There may be an easier way but I don't know it.
