Flash 9 content with audio crashing Mplayer

I've found that running flash with audio on Linux crashes
Mplayer. Has anyone else noticed issues with this?
We are running a playlist of sorts, consisting of flash
movies (animations, not flash video) and H.264 encoded Quicktime
Video. The flash runs as an embedded SWF and the video runs in
Mplayer... this is all done in firefox. As soon as a flash movie
with sound comes up, Mplayer goes away and no video is played until
the browser is re-launched.
This is a unique situation, but if anyone has any advice (or
theories) on issues with flash 9 content w/audio jacking up
Mplayer, that would be awesome.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Flash files with audio sound garbled or high pitched
Question
Flash files played in the the newest version of the Flash
Player sound garbled or have a high-pitched "chipmunk" sound to
them.
Answer
The latest release of the Flash Player (v9.0.115.0 released
on 12/03/07)) causes audio to sound garbled and/or high pitched
like a chipmunk. Our development team is looking into this issue
and working to find a fix.
To avoid this problem, you can roll back your Flash Player to
a previous release. If you have problems installing an older
release of the Flash Player please review this article and contact
Adobe for further support.
At this time, the problem is limited only to SWF files
produced with the MP3 audio codec. As a workaround, you can produce
your SWF files with the PCM audio codec or use the FLV format
instead of SWF.

Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash
Player
Issue
If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
9.0.47.0 and attempted to install version 9.0.45.0 the installation
would fail.
Reason
This issue is due to registry key settings applied by the
Flash Player security model. The restriction is to prevent users
from downgrading Flash Player minor versions. The minor version of
Flash Player is the third set of numbers in the version name. For
example, the minor version for Flash Player 9.0.47.0 would be 47.
If Flash Player 9.0.47.0 was installed and you attempted to install
9.0.45.0 (minor version 45), the installation would fail.
Solution
To resolve this, download the uninstaller for Flash Player
from "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control" (TechNote tn_14157).
Select Start.
Select Run.
Type cmd
In the command window, type the following:
uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
This will remove all entries in the system registry and
resolve this issue.
Note: The uninstall_flash_player.exe file must be saved to
the same directory that the command window is in, for example C:\.
Additional Information
If you are still having trouble installing Flash Player,
please see "Troubleshooting Adobe Flash Player installation for
Windows" (TechNote tn_19166).

Hi,
I doubt it's Safari that's changing the settings:
Why does this happen?
Some third-party audio applications may change your computer's audio output setting. In fact, if you use the third-party application again after applying the above solution, the issue might occur again.
No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)

AE CS3: Crashes on export to Adobe Flash Video (with audio)

I have a 10 second comp I'm rendering to Adobe Flash Video. The comp has a wav file on it.
I have ram previewed the comp and it plays back just fine.
When I render it to Adobe Flash Video via the render queue my comp crashes at 30 frames in everytime.
However if I remove the wave file from my comp, AE will fully render the comp to an FLV file.
I have also tried replacing the wav file with another random wav file - I get the same crash everytime at 30 frames in.
I also made a comp from scratch and tried to render it to Adobe Flash Video with a wav clip and it crashes 30 frames in every time.
Please note when it hits frame 30 on the render, a window pops up ( a dos type window ) and then the window closes along with AE right away leaving me with no error messages or even an error log. I was able to get a screen cap of the error and it's attached.
I am running Windows Vista 64-bit and this is the first problem I've had with AE CS3.
Is this a known issue and is there a workaround for this?

Replace flash content with jpg or gif

Hi
Can anyone point me towards the correct code to insert that
will replace a SWF with a static image (either GIF of JPG) if the

Blocking all flash content with Opera

Hi!
How can I block all flash content except Youtube with Opera?
Do you know any system wide methods to block flash (except youtube)?
cheers

Press F12 (or "Tools > Quick Preferences") and disable plug-ins. Then go to youtube.com, right-click and choose "Edit Site preferences". Add youtube.com (delete the www.) and enable plug-ins on the Content tab.
Not all flash content on Youtube comes from youtube.com, so you probably have to create more exceptions over time.

Overlay Flash content with HTML

I have been working to fix a layout that uses DHTML menus and
has Flash in the middle of the page... Like many others I am having
some issues with the DHTML menu not overlaying the Flash content.
I have read this post :
Fixing
Safari's wmode flicker that looked to be the solution but in
this case it did not work all together...
Here is a
link to the site...
I had tried using an class on the <li> tags that gave
it a background image. This worked in IE 6 & 7 and FF on Mac
but it did not work on FF on Windows... I thought that might be as
close as I could get for the moment so I added in SWFobject for my
Flash detection and Alt display and now none of the above works at
all...
So my question is... What is the "Best Standard" for
accomplishing this overlay of Flash with HTML content?
If you can provide relative links to the topic for reference
that would be helpful too... I've only been able to locate a few
with one being here in the CSS Advisor beta.

Correction: This class with on the <li> tag corrected
this in all browsers except Safari... When I added the SWFobject
for detection / alt content it caused the overlay to no longer
function.

Flash content with n8

I tried one of Finnish daily news papers web content(iltalehti.fi-> web tv) but it didnt work at all even tho i think n8 should support it. It says in the requirements that you should have flash player 8 or higher and n8 specs says it supports most of 10.1 content ??.Can you adjust the browser setting somehow to see the content ?

No you cannot change your settings for Flash, the version of Flash lite 4 does support most flash content, but not all !

Flash content in PowerPoint crashes all Flash instances

Sometimes when i click on youtube link through my powerpoint presentation, flash plugin crashes in all browsers: chrome, firefox, IE. I have the updated flash downloaded. Do you know when this happens?

I've branched your post into a new topic, since it wasn't the same as the original discussion.
Since IE, Firefox, and Chrome all use different instances of the Flash Player, it's surprising that a crash in PowerPoint (which embeds an Internet Explorer window) can take out all of the instances across all of your browsers. IE makes sense, but that it takes out the others is really interesting.
Is it possible that this is a malicious powerpoint presentation? Delivering exploits via office documents was a classic vector of attack, which is why we made SWF content in Office documents click-to-play.
If not, I'd definitely like to investigate and try to reproduce it.
I'm going to need to know more about your computer and browser:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195540
The version of Office you're using, and a copy of the affected PPT file are also going to be necessary. If you don't want to share those publicly, feel free to use Adobe Send or Dropbox, and you can just send me a private message with a link. Alternatively, you're welcome to file a bug with as much detail as possible at http://bugbase.adobe.com/ and attach the files to the bug. Whatever is easier for you. If you reply here with the bug number, I'll make sure it gets investigated appropriately.
Thanks!

Unable to view flash content with Flash 10,0,22,87 as an Non Admin

We currently have an issue with in our Citrix farm with Windows 2003 Servers (x64, R2, SP1) Where Flash Flash 10,0,22,87 is installed and working fine when logged in as a Domain administrator but will not work as a normal (non administrative user) to confirm I've given a user who it did not work for Domain admin rights and it started working straight away. I'm using (and published within Citrix) the 32bit version on IE for compadibility reasons and have also tired this on a Window 2003 Server (x86 R2 SP1) and am getting the same results so I have to assume the issue is with Flash and not with my setup.
I've tried the following recommendations:
Remove with Adobe Flash removal tool and Reinstalling via website with an Domain admin login using the change user /install command
Remove with Adobe Flash removal tool and Reinstalling via install_flash_player_ax.exe installer with a domain admin account using the change user /install command
Allowing Domain users Modify Premissions (to both the Directories and Files) to the M:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\swflash.ocx & M:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash10b.ocx
Following KB article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/624/624850b5.html and applying the premission changes recommended
Following KB article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19148.html and checking the registry premissions on these items
I've enabled all ActiveX and Java related IE options in Group Policy to allow the to run for the Internet Zone
When going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ either as a Domain admin or a Regular user it confirms that "You have version 10,0,22,87 installed"
Still I cant seem to get flash components of websites to load when logged in as a non Administrative User.

this is what fixed the issuefor me:
Be sure to try this on a test machine and back it up if needed.
In the system registry
For each of the following registry keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}

Exporting to Flash - Problem with Audio

When importing a Captivate movie into Flash, I'm noticing
that the audio on each slide runs together when the forward/rewind
buttons on the control are pressed. Is this just a bug in the
import/export process, or is there a setting that needs to be
adjusted? Thanks!

Hi Bill_WA and welcome to the community
As there are no specific settings I'm aware of that would
govern this when importing into Flash, my guess is that it's simply
an artifact of importing into Flash.
Wish I had a nifty solution to offer here. Maybe one of the
Flash regulars here can offer up some insight, as I tend to use
Captivate as an applicaiton in its own right and not as a Flash
extension.
Cheers... Rick

Scrolling Flash Content With Mouse Scroll Bar

I created a custom scroll bar in AS2.0 and it works great.
But now I would like the content to scroll with the mouse scroll
wheel. Any ideas?

Anyone know how to fix this on Mac Osx, it works in preview
but not in safari. Any pointers?
var mouseListener:Object = new Object ();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function (delta)
//contentMain._y += delta;
scrollFace._y -= delta;
if (scrollFace._y >= bottom)
scrollFace._y = bottom;
if (scrollFace._y <= top)
scrollFace._y = top;
updateContentPos ();
Mouse.addListener (mouseListener);
function updateContentPos ()
var onePercent = (bottom - top) / 100;
var scrollPerc = Math.floor ((scrollFace._y / onePercent) -
37);
var contentNewY = (contentMain._height * scrollPerc) / 100;
//trace (scrollPerc + " " + contentNewY)
contentMain._y = -contentNewY;
}

Downloading flash content with Safari?

Now that the Activity Window has gone away, I'm looking for a way to simply download flash video from within Safari (not interested in a standalone application).
I know about Click To Flash, but I would like a way to simply get the .flv file - I'm not looking to convert (Click To Flash does not appear to have this option, unless I'm missing something).
Any suggestions?

I have noticed that some videos on YouTube allow a right mouse button or trackpad click that pops up a menu with a download entry. This will download a .mp4 copy of the current video. You might also google Mactubes. Latest version is 3.1.4 and works on ML. Can you live with the mp4 format or do you still want the .flv format?

Quicktime logo with question mark appears instead of flash content

since updating my system yesterday to OS x 10.4.11 i have been unable to view flash content with _all browsers_. *Quicktime logo with question mark* appears instead. Spent 4 hours trying every fix suggested by Mac forums worldwide - with no result. Took the computer to the apple store where they actually took 60 euros off me for NOT fixing the problem. Still cannot view any flash content. Any help would be appreciated

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!

High CPU usage on sites with flash content

I have a 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM, Windows XP Pro SP2 machine.
When I visit sites with alot of flash content with Firefox 3
or IE or Chrome my CPU goes to 80-90% and stays there.
I uninstalled flash player and reinstalled the latest
version, but with no fix to the problem. Don't seem to have any
virus/spyware on my system.
Uninstalling Flash player on each of the different browsers
seems to fix the problem - visiting the same sites, I don't get
huge CPU usage.
Any ideas what underlying thing might be causing excessive
CPU usage in all my browsers when visiting flash sites?

To make clarifications for my previous post (some people emailed me saying that the link says nothing about cpu hogging or excessive cpu usage), you may not visit the LINK previously provided and instead follow the steps given below.
I would also like to point out my kind of problem that these steps successfully solved. The problem was this:
The first time I start up a browser (IE, FF, Opera, or Chrome) and visits a website with flash player files running on it, the performance of my
computer is smooth and fast for the first 2 or 3 minutes. But afterwards, the CPU usage meter just suddenly shoots up from below 10% to a shocking
100%! And there was not other program opened, except the browser; and I was only visiting one website ( e.g., Youtube).
It then clearly indicates that flash player is the culprit, since I have already run windows updating, spyware and antivirus scanning, defragmenting,
browser cookies and cache clearing, junk cleaning, and drive checking. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash players, which was actually
a good thing except that during that time I have not yet known about the next 4 steps (given below).
If you have the same problem, you might try th following:
NOTE: Close your browsers and any other running programs and opened windows first.
STEP 1: Navigate your way to this folder: Computer > C: Drive > Windows > System32 > Macromed > Flash
STEP 2: Right-click over the file ‘Flash10a.ocx’ and choose ‘PROPERTIES’.
STEP 3: In PROPERTIES, choose the ’SECURITY’ tab > Click on the ‘EVERYONE’ account or your own Windows account profile, and the button called 'EDIT’ and then tick the box called ‘ALLOW FULL CONTROL’ and also choose your own Windows local account name to have full control.
STEP 4: Repeat this process for the file ‘FlashUtil10a’.
Open a browser and check the performance of your CPU.
PS:
The example here indicates that the flash player version is 10; however, you can still use the steps for lower versions. For instance,
if the version of your flash player is 9, look for all files named FlashUtil9a (disregard the extensions).
Also, the Folder Directory is applicable for Vista users. The file directory structure of your drive C:\ may be different if you are using other windows OS version. You just have to search the location of your Flashplayer.
To:
montian and franky --- i'm so glad this procedure helps you with your prob!
