Anyhow, thanks for creating an easy to apply fix for the
Microsoft none

Is there a way of applying it to a whole site as a batch

Adobe Flash Player 10 Fix for WinXP and Vista, IE7, IE8, Firefox, ect.(New Fast Fix)

(This is a possible solution for most users) I have found that inside the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (WinXP Home/Pro) (Computer > C: Drive > Windows > System32 > Macromed > Flash for Vista) there should be a file named FlashUtil10b.exe (IF NOT YOU SHOULD UPDATE AS SPECIFIED!) (or FlashUtil10a.exe or for older versions something similar depending on your version), which is the update utility for flash player. Click on this and if it updates, you will have to restart your computer. This should fix any missing files, and update you to the latest version.
On a side note to all those who read this, I downloaded and installed 5 different times, the same version, from different websites, all for the "new" flash version, and they didn't work (this also included trying to update Shockwave player itself). Apparently, going directly to the website and downloading a new version of Adobe Flash Player, and installing, doesn't uninstall the older version, (though it says it does nor does the uninstaller work directly from the website) nor fixes the problem. I assume they are aware of this problem, because they included this bug fix in revision 10b. This fix should work for those of you whom cannot view/see flash images as well. There also appears to be a bug/reference problem with the installation of IE8 giving the error "Missing Shockwave Decompression XTRA", when trying to play a Shockwave/Flash file, which seems also to affect Firefox and other browsers. It doesn't recognize that the folder or files that it needs in it, exist. I never had his problem before, until IE8 was installed. I checked which version I had in the system32 folder and found this updater built in to Adobe. Version 10a does NOT automatically update, but version 10b includes this fix. I currently had version 10a when I received this error, and began digging for a solution. Doing the update as described above fixed the problem, and updated it to version 10b.
The new flash version 10b has some new features, such as volume control, auto-updating, and several rendering options for those who may have a faster or slower computer/video card.
I found this works great for XP users but unsure of the Vista users. The process is the same for Vista and the update should still work the same, as long as you run it as Administrator, I assume. I have this also posted on wwwdslreports.com at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22115254-IE-IE8-and-Adobe-Flash-Question and here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22361930-Adobe-Flash-Player-10-Fix-for-WinXP-IE 8-Firefox-ect. It appears to work for everyone so far. I have not heard of any problems from users with this problem running the RC (Release Canidate) for Windows 7 yet.
I hope this works to your benefit.
Please leave a reply to help Adobe and other users know if this fix worked for you or not. If not, please explain what you did, and the effects your seeing, including operating system, site of the flash file trying to view, browser type (ex. IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Opera, ect.), and I will try to help you as best I can.
(I would strongly recommend those not using IE8, or Firefox 3.5, get the updated versions)
If your looking for uninstallers go to this site: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
If your looking for a true full install, you can download this developer version for Windows and Mac: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flash_player_update2_flash10.zi p (44MB) (If you download this, I would recommend you still follow my instructions for the Flash Utility before restarting your computer.)

I would recommend all users having problems try the above solution first.
I have posted this on a couple of websites, and so far it has fixed everyones problems.
Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 has Adobe Flash Player coding built into the browser so that it not only loads faster but works better.
You still need to have the Adobe ActiveX plug-in and Adobe Flash Player for both browsers.
I would also recommend you download Shockwave Player 11.
IE8 has tried this as well, but it still has a couple bugs in it.
If you have IE8 or FireFox 3.5 Beta 4, and you are still having problems, then I recommend that you go to www.windowsupdate.com and get all of the latest updates (including SP3), then try this fix again.
Your auto-updater built into windows (If you even have it on) doesn't always pull down every update available for your computer. It only pulls down the manditory ones.
Sometimes you HAVE to go to the website and manually get them yourself. I recommend when you go to the website, you click on custom install and pick every last one of them to install, which includes, hardware and software fixes for your computer.
What a lot of people don't know is that when you have installed and tried all of the recommended fixes that Adobe gives you, and it still doesn't work, is that you are having registry conflicts within your Operating System (OS ex. WinXP, Vista, Linux, ect.), and that it is not the Adobe software at all.
Those are usually repaired by making sure your computer stays up to date.
The fact is the computer world is changing so rapidly that everyone can't keep up. You have to check for updates weekly.
If you fall behind on those updates, then you start having problems with your computer and/or software.
One problem then can turn into many and people get frustrated when something all the sudden just quits working.
Take a day or two at least once a month, and make sure you update and maintain your computer.
This includes disk defragmenting, disk cleanup, and making sure you have all the lastest updates.
You can get to Disk Defrag, and Disk Cleanup by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, then to System Tools.
I would do Disk Cleanup first, then Defrag.
I hope you take this advise into consideration, and that it is very helpful for you.
If you find this useful, please come back and reply to this forum, and let everyone know so that others will be encouraged to do this.
Thanks and goodluck, from another user like you.

Compatibility problem with macro media flash active control

I am getting a message on my screen "compatibility problem with macro media flash active control, it isnt compatible with my version of windows (vista). How can this be fixed? why am I suddenly getting it now? I have the latest Adobe flash player installed.
Trisha

the latest flash is probably the problem... it's seems that the latest flash has been causing a boat load of issues. i did a system restore to undo the flash and mozilla upgrades and it's still crashing but not as bad as it was with the upgrades.

Adobe Flash Player 10 Fix for Vista & XP

A possible fix for users wanting to get Flash Player 10 fixed
and running on Windows XP and Vista.

Using manual JS Active Content Fix, but now how do I append the *.swf?

Hi all I am using this method to fix the Active Content
issue,
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html#multipleoccurrences
but now I have come across a situation when I have to append
the end of the .swf.
EG: Active content fix script. It does not use the extension
.swf
<script type="text/javascript" >

'movie', 'images/footer_graphic_1_about',
'salign', ''
); //end AC code
</script>
I need to add .swf?<%response.write qs%>" to the
images/footer_graphic_1_about, because I am passing a variable
through the .swf.
Eg: images/footer_graphic_1_about.swf?intro=no
Any help would be great.

What a Shame. Flash could have been left in. Many older sites use it and will not be updated anytime soon if ever. Now we have to hack around to get it working ourselves.

How I got Flash Player 9 fixed

I got Flash Player 9 fixed after trying all kinds of things
in these posts..
I had the problem where I would see the quote mark " instated
of the content at the download installation page
I'm running Windows XP media edition
Here is what I did to get it working on my system.
I'm not sure if each of these steps are essential
but this is what I did that worked for me.
It's a combination of things I found in different forums.
1. I used the uninstaller at Adobe's Web site following the
instructions given here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157
2. I went to this link and installed the latest FlashPlayer
version 9 from Adobe's web site here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
I tested it and it failed to work at this point.
3. I downloaded and ran this installer
"install_flash_player_active_x.msi" save it you'll need to run it
twice
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_playe r_active_x.msi
running this will close all browser windows so save this link
or print this out first.
when I ran this I got an error message it said something
about Flash9.ocx failed to install or register.
so I did a search for it and found it in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\flash I copied it and pasted it to
C:\WINDOWS\system32
I tested it and it failed to work at this point.
4. I opened regedit............ click start.. click run..
type in regedit.. click OK
Then went to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\
and went down the list to each of the following and for each
one I allowed full control to administrator
to do this locate it, right click on it, left click
permissions, make sure administrators in highlighted,
put a check in the box under Allow for full control, choose
apply then choose OK.
I read in the forum that some of these might not be there no
worries if they are not.
.mfp
.sol
.sor
.spl
.swf
FlashFactory.FlashFactory
FlashFactory.FlashFactory.1
FlashProp.FlashProp
FlashProp.FlashProp.1
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.1
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.3
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.4
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.5
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.6
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.8
Then I went to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
and did the same for these
{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}
{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}\InprocServer32
I tested it and it failed to work at this point.
5. I ran "install_flash_player_active_x.msi" again and this
time it gave me an option to Repair or Fix
a previous installation and I chose that. It ran fine with no
error message.
I ran regedit again and checked to see if it changed the
permissions and found a couple of them had
changed and so I set them back again.
Then I tested it and it worked fine!!!
Now I'm happy I can play backgammon on Windows Live Messenger
with my friends...

I might add more info about the original problem.
So you can tell if it's the problem your lookin for a fix for
Whenever I installed FP9 it was as if I had not done it.
I would see the quote mark instead of the content.
the next time I would Go to a site that required it
it would just ask me to install it again
I could find it in Add Remove programs I could not un install
it from there
I needed the un installer program to do so.
I spent a lot of time trying till I got it fixed I hope this
helps someone

Flash Active Content Update extension

I am using flash for advertising, and I usually link to the
customers page by this:
on (release) {
getURL(clickTag, "blank");
and in the script to publish the flash is this:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="
http://www.somesite.no/flash.swf?clickTag=http://www.customersite.no">
Question:
How do I do that with the new Flash Active Content Update
script?

I found out myself, and here are the solution:
In the long list you have to add the url like this:
'movie', 'flash?clickTag=http://www.customersite.no',

Active Content Fix gone?

Hello,
Just began playing around with DW CS4, and have run into a
problem with .swf files. The Active Content fix for IE is no longer
there. The new files it creates in a Script folder do not seem to
solve that problem. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?
DW now installs swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf
in a script folder. I imagine this is supposed to take care of the
situation, but it doesn't. One must first click to the .swf on a
webpage, in order to interact with it. Any help would be
appreciated.

Recent versions of Internet Explorer don't need the Active
Content fix,
so it has been replaced by a different script that validates
and works
cross-browser.

I created a large Flash Pro file which includes buttons and I want to share it with others

I created a large Flash Pro file which includes buttons and I want to share it with others. It's too big for e-mail and youtube and dropbox don't support fla files. I'm new to Flash and I would appreciate a simple solution!
Thank you!

Thank you! But based on the link you gave me it seems like I should only have to do step 1 since I am not trying to embed my file into a web page. After I uploaded the SWF file to the Google Drive it still will not play. It keeps opening in Adobe Device Central and won't play anything. Should I go ahead and do step 2?
I really just want the video available to share with others. It seems like this shouldn't be very difficult.
Thanks!

Flash Active X Support for RMA?

Has Adobe made any announcements, or does anyone have any insights, regarding whether Adobe will be extending the RMA to support the Flash Active X plugin in addition to the NPAPI player? With the unbundling of Flash and Acrobat in 9.5.1 this has created a major problem for us, as Internet Explorer is the only browser allowed by policy for most of my users. I am currently being forced to use a Legacy Media object (since that works with the Active X flash plugin) and force users to trust every document they open. My users aren't excited about this, but even more concerning is that they are now being desensitized to to Security Warnings in Reader...
I also am under the assumption that Flash and Acrobat will be unbundled in 10.x at some point - is that correct?

Users are strongly advised to stay on the update route for Adobe Reader unless there is an overriding reason not to (e.g. third party plugins). As of right now Adobe Reader X contains the embedded Flash Player runtime and so will play RMAs just fine inside any supported desktop browser. There is no reason not to require your users to update to Reader X, just as the introduction of RMAs required updates to Reader 9 a couple of years ago. Legacy media in an untrusted PDF is never a good idea; users should not be trained (intentionally or otherwise) into routinely dismissing the security DMB.
No announcements have been made as to Flash Player's presence (or lack thereof) in future releases of Acrobat and Reader. Those with insights are not allowed to reveal the roadmap of Adobe software, but obviously it would be sensible for any software vendor to make their code as browser-agnostic as possible.
