Flash and MAC OS

Hi,
I have another issue in FlashHelp. I have included a flash
file inside a topic and I have generated the flashhelp output. The
output is fine in Windows XP, but when I view the same in Mac OS,
the flash file inside the topic is gets corrupted, i.e. the links
in the flash file do not work and the bullets in the flash file are
not properly aligned. I would like to know if there is any update
that must be done in Mac OS for the flash file to work properly in
the FlashHelp output.
Anje

Hi Anje
I think the first test should be to take the topic where
things go to pot, then simply try and display the flash file all by
itself on the Mac OS. This should confirm that it is indeed the
Flash Player on the Mac and not possibly the way RoboHelp is
handling the file. Then possibly update the Flash player on the
Mac?
Cheers... Rick

Flash and Mac Power PCs..

Hi Everyone,
I am having a problem with my dual GHz G5 power PC mac and Flash. Recently, all of a sudden sites that use flash have been causing both firefox (3.6.21) and safari to crash so I decided to uninstall flash and download the most up to date version (I have up until recently been offline for a while). Obviously then I discovered that flash for power PCs is not made any more so I had to download the most recent PPC version (10.1 I believe). However, now that I have installed this, the same problem keeps happening.
Does this mean that I am unable to get the right version of flash and that my G5, which is only 6 years old, will now be largely unable to properly browse the net? I know that Macs now use intel processors but surely I have some option?!
Thanks in advance guys

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, but I have already done this but it doesn't seem to be working properly. When I click on the flash install icon a box appears with the adobe logo and two smaller boxes inside that are clickable, but that have no writing on them. There is also a smaller box to the left of the larger one that I an click on and make a tick appear, which then allows me to click on the right hand box. I am then asked to type in my password and then it takes me to a progress bar but still absolutely no text..
I have no idea whats going wrong! Any other ideas?!
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You are correct that the latest version of Flash Player no longer supports PPCs. However, you can grab the last release of Flash Player to support PPC here:

Flash and mac-lion future of conflict

hello - i realize that apple and adobe have had a bit of a feud recently.
i tried out a flash application that required a security question in the "Adobe Flash Player Settings" window, and the left-click no longer works. this is apparently a very well documented problem:
http://avchathq.com/blog/how-to-allow-access-to-webcam-in-flash-with-os-x-lion/
my question: is adobe going to address this issue anytime soon?
i am very surprised (and a little disappointed) that adobe has not been addressed yet, since lion has been out for a couple of months now!
it seems the future of flash is in question because of apple-iPad and iPhone, but i didnt think there was a problem on the desktops and laptops too!
thank you.

This was a problem with Lion and the previous version of Flash Player (which was released, iirc, before Lion was released to the public) but it was addressed for most systems with our latest 10.3.183.7 build that is available here. There is one known issue with a certain model iMac/video card combination (Model Identifier: iMac7,1/ATI,Radeon HD2600) that still exhibits this issue. We're working closely with Apple and ATI to address it as soon as possible.

Flash (is it for me?), Wacom Cintiq 22HD, and Mac Mini

I have Flash as part of the CS6 Master Suite, which I purchased primarily for InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere, but as yet I haven't opened Flash. I'm hoping someone here can save me time by advising me whether Flash is suitable for my purposes. I'm not a professional, just a keen amateur, but I do want to use quality software and equipment to do the finest job I can.
Answers to a previous post in the Illustrator forum (Re: Animation – is Illustrator what I should be using?) suggested that I try Flash.
Background
I'll be using Premiere for converting my audio-visuals to HD format. Back in the 1980s I was right into three-screen slide shows. As part of the transforming, I'll be introducing a small number of video clips (hence my need for Premiere) and also short animation sequences, probably 10 seconds at most. The animation will be done by an artist friend who is keen to extend his talents into computer art. If I buy the computer (some sort of Mac), a Cintiq, load the appropriate software, and then loan it all to Steve and show him how to use it, he'll happily spend as much time as required for the animation. We're bartering: he gets to use a computer and tablet for as long as he wants, I get animation.
A typical animation might involve Steve drawing outlines at appropriate intervals, over a background, then having the software generate the in-betweens. Watercolour-style shading (i.e. not fill-type, monotone colour) would be added, probably manually for each frame, unless the tweening can competently handle watercolour-style shading. For some of Steve's doodlings on his iPad (simplified versions of what we're aiming for), check out http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj731c17co55g5w/Steve's_iPad_Work.zip
We're both new to this and recently spent an afternoon together looking at videos on Flash and the Cintiq. The combination looks like it will work for us, but I have a few questions which I'm hoping some of the experts on this forum can answer. A simple yes or no may save me hours of reading documentation only to find out that something won't work as I want. I'll also include some questions about the Cintiq and Mac Mini in case someone who uses them with Flash can provide answers. I live in a place where I have no access to these devices before I buy. I have to buy 'cold'. Thus my wariness.
Please note: I'm not an artist and Steve isn't computer literate. So some of these questions might appear pretty dumb to an experienced user of Flash/Cintiq.
Ques 1
Is Synfig Studio (as suggested at the end of my Illustrator thread) something I should consider? Or is Flash a better bet?
Ques 2
Does Flash have vector tools that mimic a watercolour paintbrush like in Photoshop? Or is that not possible as a vector, and such effects have to be done outside Flash and then imported as background (or other method)?
Ques 3
When a Flash animation is finished, how is it exported, for example, to Premier? Do you export as h.264?
Ques 4
It is not clear to Steve and I after viewing three Cintiq videos, how the Cintiq interfaces to Flash. Does the Cintiq know about Flash, and appropriates certain drawing tools automatically? Or do you have to tell Flash (or the Cintiq) that this button on the Cintiq now operates this tool in Flash?
Ques 5
Do Flash and Cintiq work well together – and easily?
Ques 6
Do I need a monitor to be able to use Flash with the Cintiq? Or would a Mac Mini be a suitable computer – with the Cintiq acting as monitor? Steve won't ever be using this setup as a computer. He'll be treating the Cintiq as a canvas on which to draw and paint.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Guy,
I thought I was the only one around who was old enough to have worked on wide screen multi-image slide shows!
Flash may be the right product for you and Steve. I use Flash with an Intuos 4 tablet and it works fine. What you want to do is to search the Flash forums for references to Cintiq. There may be some problems that interfere with your intended use, or it may work exactly as you want. The important element for working with any Wacom product is to be sure that you are using the latest drivers for the Wacom product.
If you choose to use a mac mini, get a new one, one that can use a lot of memory, you'll need it.
You can export Flash files to video in most any file type and compression is installed on the computer. So, if you're going to use a Mac, install Quicktime Pro and you should have everything that you need.
I have never heard of or used Synfig Studio, so I can't comment on that.
Flash's paint tools are different from Photoshop and more similar to Illustrator's. You will have all of the flexibility of the Cintiq to control painting effects, it will take some practice, but you should be able to get the effect that you're describing.
Hope this helps with your decision.

good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

Need to open word document from flash projector on Windows and Mac

Hello,
I'm creating a flash program that will be put on a dvd. And the dvd should function well on both windows and mac.
I'm trying to open a word document on click of a button. I used geturl but it works only on windows but on mac it only opens a blank browser.
This is urgent and would be really grateful if I get any help to resolve this problem
Thanks,
Sunira

I kind of doubt you could get Safari to open MS Office files. Short of actually getting MS Office for the Mac, the most workable option might be to get NeoOffice/J (a Mac-friendly version of OpenOffice from http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php. It won't display some Office files 100% correctly (depending on how complex they are) but it can open and save them.

Flash content flashing and crashing mac

Hello,
Since the latest FF and Flash update (37 and 17) I can't watch any videos or flash content - like (annoying ad) banners. Everything literally FLASHES. Like a strobe light. Then videos get stuck, the cursor jumps/freezes, sound stutters and eventually mac crashes (panic). The fans are constantly hyperventilating but nothing weird is running in activity monitor.
I have:
* Uninstalled and reinstalled flash; same for Firefox; cleaned flash cache - nothing
* I only have flash, java and QuickTime plugins installed
* Downgraded flash to previous version (16) - better, no flashes, but still stutters and crashes after watching video for 10-15 minutes most (sometimes not even that)
* Tried to watch using VPN but after a while graphics and sound go crazy
* Decided to upgrade again to flash 17. Now it flashes again and I can't watch videos for even 1 minute.
* Tried the about:config media.mediasource.enabled (change to true); dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode (change to false); Firefox "get info" open with 32-bit mode; - nothing worked
What can I do? Any idea?
Thanks

mms.cfg = Flash Player
Go to your plugins page. Set everything video to '''Ask.'''
You could try disabling Flash plugin's protected mode. The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. There is a new hidden setting for this:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste flash and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode preference to switch its value from false to true.
This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.
1) Enter the config by typing about:config in the address bar.
2) Enter media.mediasource.webm.enabled and press enter.
3) Right click on it and change to true, for some reason it is set as "false" which makes MSE & WebM VP9 not work properly.
4) Visit: https://www.youtube.com/html5 and check that everything is OK.
5) Try to watch a video. It should work now.

As of late i have been unable to run fwd email u tube videos my mac tells me i need adobe flash got it still neg = and now my bakn statement is in pdf and mac tells me i need adobe reader got still neg why can't i run these things on safari?

Hi...
For videos. Uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Try a video.
All online bank statments are in PDF format.
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
Now try a bank statement.

Where can I find Flash and Acrobat Install packages for Mac OS X?

I'm managing over 200 Macs, and I need the Package Installs for Flash and Acrobat, and I need them everytime you decide to release an update.
Our Department has licenses for 50 copies CS 6 Design & Web Premium, but the Adobe Manager doesn't manage Flash or Acrobat updates.
Do you have Mac OS X Packages for these Apps?

Flash and Intel Macs

Hi there everyone,
I've got a site that has a flash game in which users need to answer math questions by typing in numbers and hitting enter. I recently heard from a user who just switched from a PC to an Intel Mac. The game worked fine on the PC, but now, when he's playing the game, it won't register him typing in the numbers. The keyboard works fine all other times he clicks the numbers, just not in the game.
I figure this is a flash plugin problem, but I figured I'd check here and see if anyone's heard of any general Flash + Intel Mac issues like this.
Thanks,
Dan P.

Nevermind... it's appartenly working on user's computer. Sorry for the forum clutter.

While typing on Mac Air the screen went blank, was seen only cell for password. i closed the devise adn after openning it if flashed and now its working. Does it need a tecnical repairing or its fine?

While typing on my macbooc air suddenly the screen ent almost blank, pale. After closing the device and openning it again it flashed and started working normally. Is it dangerous or its fine?

Hello,
According to your user agent, you are on Firefox 32. If you planned to use Firefox 31 ESR, you can grab a copy here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
Out of curiosity, when it turns transparent, is there a "(Not Responding)" appended to the end of the window title? If you don't have the Window title being shown, it might show up if you have window titles shown on your taskbar, or in the task manager (right click on your taskbar and select "Start Task Manager"). If you do see a Not Responding, it could be a slow script on one of the pages you are viewing.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

How to connect a 23" Cinema display and mac mini to an AV Receiver?

I am trying to get my 23" Cinema display and Mac Mini to a Yamaha RX-2700 AV Receiver. I am on first name terms with the guy in Maplins because I tried to get an Xbox 360 working with this display before and gave up in the end. The AV receiver has upscaling capability so I thought I'd try again. I tried connecting a HDMI - DVI adapter to the HDMI Out on the receiver and a HMDI to DVI cable from the Mac Mini to the HDMI in with a optical cable for the sound. The sound works fine but I get no display - the LED on the monitor flashes three times with a blank screen so it can't read the signal. Another option suggested was to use a VGA Converter connected to a VGA - HDMI cable but I would like to find out if that would work before going down that route?
I am looking for some advice about whether this type of configuation is possible with the 23" ACD and if so what do I need to buy to make it work? I love the quality of my ACD to avoid having to replace it with a TV to get my multi media life in order.
Many thanks
