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.

  • HAL mounts USB flash devices without support for non-latin characters

    Hey folks!
    How can I make HAL mount USB flash devices with support for German characters such as ä, ö, ü, ß, etc? At the moment there's only a silly question mark instead: http://www12.file-upload.net/20.08.08/3cpcpx.png .
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks.

    I think it's a bug in KDE4, because no other window manager or desktop environment has such problems. I had it as well, when I used KDE4.0.* for testing and seems like this remained. Do you have a completely german KDE4? Check the system settings!
    A thing comes to my mind, did you check it with konqueror? I guess this bug appears in dolphin, richtig? I schätz mal schon Try it with konqueror, if it doesn't appear there, it's a dolphin thing

  • Does Active directory support for linux/mac/ubuntu clients?

    Hello everyone,
    I am pretty new to Active directory and my company has few requirements which he need to achieve by implementing Microsoft Active directory. I tried reading some blogs/documents on google but was not able to get the clear understanding. So would request
    you all to please help me in getting the correct answers.
    1) Does AD supports linux/mac/ubuntu clients getting authenticated from it?
    2) Does AD supports root/non-root privilege login which is like admin/non-admin rights in windows for linux/mac/ubuntu?
    3) Does Password policy works well on linux/mac/ubuntu cleints?
    4) Does AD support auto-loading application after successful login in linux/mac/ubuntu clients? For eg: Logging into jabber client as soon as user logins IN.
    5) Can AD trace and log the authentication information for linux/mac/ubuntu clients?
    6) Does AD support rules based login for linux/mac/ubuntu clients?
    7) Do we have high availability in AD runing Active-Active?
    8) can we push patched/security policies via AD on linux/mac/ubuntu clients?
    9) Can we schedule crons for linux/mac/ubuntu clients via AD like we have task schedules set-up in Windows?
    10) Can linux/mac/ubuntu cleints be included part of GPO?
    11) Auto-backups or auto mapping of shared drives by AD on widnows/linux/mac/ubuntu cleints?
    12) Can we capture licenses etc(Server management) thing in AD.
    13) Does AD support communication over SSL.
    14) Does AD supports SSO authentication for linux/mac/ubuntu clients?
    Thanks guys in advance
    Regards
    Sam

    While I cannot speak for mac clients, there is a labour intensive method that allows linux distros to be able to connect to AD in a windows environment.  Take a look at 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.12.linux.aspx
    for tips.  Please note, it was designed with the Fedora/Red Hat Core in mind, but ubuntu distro's will also work, you just need the appropriate packages.

  • DRM support for Home media sharing (e.g.Chromecast)

    Hi,
    Hopefully a simple question. I know Flash DRM has support for HDCP and analog counterpart for policy management in order to restrict streaming on external screen. However, what about home media sharing such as Chromecast. Can I implement policies that will allow/prevent streaming for Chromecase for instance?
    Thanks,
    Alain

    Hi Alain,
    Chromecast will ONLY stream video to displays where it can detect that HDCP is engaged.  So in essence, it doesn't matter what Output Protection restriction is specified in the Adobe Access DRM Policy, the stream will only be played with Output Protection engaged.
    That was the "allow streaming" use case.
    Regarding the opposite use case, "don't allow streaming to chromecast", Adobe Access DRM currently does not have any mechanism to detect and disable streaming to a Chromecast device.
    cheers,
    /Eric.

  • My iTunes card won't redeem and when I try to it comes up with this "The gift certificate or prepaid card code you entered has not been properly activated. Please contact iTunes Store costumer support for assistance" can anyone help me?

    My iTunes card won't redeem and when I try to it comes up with this "The gift certificate or prepaid card code you entered has not been properly activated. Please contact iTunes Store costumer support for assistance" can anyone help me?

    Is the store that you bought the card from nearby so that you can try going back and asking if they can activate the card properly ? If it's not, or if they can't/won't activate, then you will need to do as the message says and contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt)

  • Flash player support for video playback in Lumia 8...

    When will  Nokia/MS support Adobe Flash player for Lumia 800 like they have for Android?
    Also I should be able to download a browser of my choice on Lumia as well. Any clarifications from Nokia most welcome!

    Adobe has announced that it has ceased development of Flash for mobile phones (in favour of HTML5, and due to the opposition of both Apple and Microsoft to allow support of Flash for their mobile operating systems), so from that direction neither Microsoft nor Nokia is going to get any help.
    If the Adobe Flash Video format specification is publicly available to use or to license (I don't know if it is), then at least Microsoft could implement support for it, if they wanted to (Nokia might not have sufficient rights from Microsoft to add new codecs to Windows Phone).
    So, you might direct your question primarily to Microsoft, rather than Nokia (of course, a Microsoft representative will probably read this, too, but whether they'll response or not is another matter).

  • How do I get Active X control for flash player registered?

    I have been having problems with flashplayer.  I continue to get different messages when I try to download.  The latest message is:  Active X control for flash player could not be registered.  What do I do to get the system working?

    Looks to be a permission issue.  Do you have administrator priveleges on the machine?

  • When Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP is released will it support AIR 3.2 ???

    We've all been waiting a long time since last November's Private Beta of Flash Builder 4.6 which was released shortly thereafter, for the Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP version.
    However, Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP (The one with Zend Studio included in it) is scheduled for 2012 - Q1 release, meaning?
    I guess, at the latest March 31st.
    This is significant, because AIR 3.2 is Great, but it will Live or Die based on what happens, I believe, in the next year, the new demo with the 2 geniuses at Adobe, Lee Brimelow and Thibault Imbert, which essentially ARE the driving intellectual force behind AIR, make me feel more comfortable than the management at Adobe,
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/hardware-accelerated-graphics-for-mobile-games-with -adobe-air-32/
    So, when FB 4.6 for PHP is released, will it support AIR 3.2?
    There's another thing, there are a ton of job offerings for iOS 5 or Android Java, but no AIR (very few and the damage control fromthe eff'ed up press release is still meandering).
    Adobe needs to compliment its consumer base and developer base, with a Developer Network for Corporate integration so there are contracts out there for us who live between our dream ideas and meals, by doing contracting work, and it'd be nice to do it in Flash Builder 4.6 instead of taking on an iOS 5 or Android Java or PhoneGap project.  At least for Gamers.
    REPORTS: Social Gaming will be a $5B industry by 2015. The total mobile market will be a $15B industry by 2015.
    I'm shooting for the Social Gaming, and I like what I see in the above video.
    But again, people have to pay bills, why doesn't Adobe reach our to Corporations for certified developers like Mickysoft and Apple?

    I worked it out in the end - I had to uninstall FB4.5 and reboot. Why couldn't the installation say so instead of just crashing? I found this out, by the way, by trying to run the installer created under c:\program files(x86)\adobe\adobe flash builder 4.6. That one told me at least that I had to uninstall a previous version, though even then it was coy about which one

  • IOS support for Flash Builder 4.5.1

    I am getting the following message when I try to export a releae build to iOS using Flash Builder 4.5.1:
         This platform is not currently supported for Flex Mobile projects
    I have tried running the update again and gives me the update was successful message, but I still don't have iOS support.
    I did update using the Eclipse updater and was unable to open Flash Builder, but since resolved that issue. I wonder if I need to reinstall Flash Builder and reapply the update or if there is an easier fix.

    I just created a project with Adobe Launchpad (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/airlaunchpad/), and it looked like I setup all the options for iOS, but when I go to run configurations and try and deploy to an iOS device I'm getting the same problem: "This platform is not currently supported for Flex Mobile projects"
    Anyone know why?

  • Since Flash CS6 Is not supported for OSX 10.8, can cloud members have Flash CS5?

    Since Flash CS6 Is not supported for OSX 10.8, can cloud members have Flash CS5?
    I see that Flash CS6 is not supported (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/mountain-lion-support-flash-professional.html ) . My coworkers and I are not able to see some fonts and the colorpickers are not working properly as mentioned at the URL.
    Can you make the previous version of Flash available for download and use with cloud membership just for this OS X 10.8 issue.
    It'd be more of a hassle for us to revert back to an older OS then to just get an extra older version of Flash on our system.

    Can you tell me where you saw '2013'?  I looked on Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe, Adobe - Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution License Agreement, and Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution Agreement, and I'm not seeing '2013'.  Once I find out exactly where this is at, I can forward it to the appropriate folks to update.

  • Korean Support for Adobe Flash Player?

    I have to go to Korean websites a good amount; however, there are some times when Korean is not being displayed well at all. It took me a while to figure out why certain Korean test was displayed well, but others were not.
    I have finally found the culprit, and it is that I don't have Korean support in Adobe Flash Player. I tried researching how to enable Korean support, and how to download a package to add Korean support; however, I have not been able to do that.
    How can I add Korean support to Adobe Flash Player?
    For pictures of the issue plus more information, I have a StackExchange question on SuperUser here: http://superuser.com/questions/810427/korean-support-for-adobe-flash

    Just for more information.
    I work at a Korean company and have both Korean and non-Korean coworkers.
    All the laptops of the Korean workers DONT have this issue. Their laptops display the Korean text in the flash player correctly!
    All the laptops of the Non-Korean workers DO have this issue.
    This issue is browser-agnostic. It occurs on all browsers!
    All Non-Korean workers have Windows 8 or 8.1
    All Korean workers have Windows 7 through Windows 8.1
    I think this issue is for all users that don't have a Korean laptop. I will try double-checking the one Non-Korean coworker that DID buy a Korean laptop here in Korea. Maybe this is not an issue for said coworker??
    You won't have access to my company's site however, I have seen some websites that DO and DONT display Korean text, and they are from the exact same .swf file
    (ie. here --> http://img.kbs.co.kr/cms/drama/marryme/images/sub_menu.swf?hn=1&mn=3) and the webpage this .swf file is from is here --> 등장인물 | [화면해설] 결혼해주세요 | KBS 2TV
    I cannot verify if this issue is related to the older text facilities that pre-date multi-byte text support; however, I can provide some images of the issue.
    If you need more information, then please let me know what you will need.
    this bottom image is in the link I provided above! Along with the website it is in
