Flash content gets obscured by other tabs in Firefox

I've had this problem for a while where when I'm viewing flash content in Firefox, changing to another tab and back again causes the content to be obscured by the previous tab, like this:
(click for full size)
I'm using flashplugin 11.2.202.336-1 from the official pacman repositories and Firefox 27.0.1, also from the official pacman repositories. It doesn't happen all the time, and refreshing the page fixes it, but it's annoying especially when returning to a long video after checking another tab.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks!

Flash content has dotted border after upgrading to Firefox 6.

Since upgrading to Firefox 6 (now 6.0.2), interaction (ie: using buttons) with Flash content creates a dotted border around the movie. This does not occur with Google Chrome, Safari, or even Opera. Normally, this flash-based version of my site requires no CSS, but I did try to link the page to a stylesheet with the tag { outline: none; } , but this had no effect. I also restarted Firefox in safe mode, but the problem persists.

Flash does not appear in the plugins list. It works fine in other browsers. /Library/Internet plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt exist. I can't find the flash plugin elsewhere (profile/plugins, in the App package)
I created a new profile to test if the profile was at fault. The plugin still did not load. Firefox finds the plugin but in [profile]/pluginreg.dat it adds it under [INVALID]:
[INVALID]
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin:$

Firefox scrolling and images from videos getting stuck on other tabs

Ok lets say a youtube video is embedded on a forum or i'm on youtube.com when the video starts to play my up and down keys used for scrolling will only control the youtube players volume the page will no longer scroll (yes i know you have to click outside the video i have done that makes no difference) I have to go to a different tab and back to the page with the video in order to scroll like normal but if i have to restart the video or skip forward or backwards a little bit i have to switch tabs and back again to scroll.... Also if i close a page with a video playing or just switch tabs with the video playing whatever the video was showing last gets caught on the new tab i have to scroll up or down to clear it. So for example im watching a basketball clip showing a dunk i close the page when he is holding the rim that image goes over to the current tab that's open and i have to scroll to clear it that didn't happen before this whole scrolling issue. Main thing i want to fix is the scrolling tho..

Try to "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player and maybe in Firefox as well.

Cannot play Flash content in IE7

When I navigate IE7 to any site (including adobe.com) that
has Flash content, I get a message saying I need to enable
javascript (it is) and/or upgrade my Flash player. I am running
Vista, and this worked until sometime in the last week or so.
Flash content does run on this machine inside Firefox 3.0.1,
but IE7 appears to be dead.
The error message I get is "Error in loading DLL". It appears
to pop up when the javascript code is trying to load or access the
flash content.
I tried installing the Flash Player 9.0.124 using the web
site - no luck.
I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then installing from
the web site - no luck.
I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then used the manual
installer (Install Flash Player 9 AX) - no luck.
I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then used the manual
installer (FlashUtil9f) - no luck.
I tried running reset_minimal.cmd (per instructions) - no
luck.
I tried disabling my AV (Kaspersky) while repeating all of
the above - no luck.
I tried running sfc /scannow but it reports no errors.
I tried the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Reset to "reset"
IE to its defaults - no luck.
I am really, really stumped on this one. What should I do
next?

BWolfe, dougclutter, and others with Doug's problem:
BWolfe, I'm truly amazed that dougclutter and others have had
this very specific and real problem for so long, and Adobe hasn't
lifted a finger to cure it. I'm stunned. I've been plagued with
this thing for at least 3 months now, and have been all over the
net looking for a remedy, after finding absolutely no help from
Adobe.
Here's what my symptoms are:
IE with Flash works in all accounts but mine.
Latest Adobe Flash player (10) is properly installed. Flash
content will play on IE8 in anyone's User Account on this machine
but mine. The only way flash content will play in my user account
is if it is started as "Run As Administrator". Can actually run 2
instances of IE side by side, one started normally, the other
started as "Run as Administrator". Oprah, U Tube, etc., will run
flash content in the latter window, but won't in the former. Flash
errors (in IE7} are something to the effect, "Can't run DLL", with
line number reference, etc. No help from Adobe, HP (my machine
manufacturer) or Microsoft without paying them a bundle. Just
updated IE7 to 8, problem unchanged.
Elaboratiing:
When right clicking on where Flash Player is supposed to be,
then clicking the "about Adobe Flash... ", the browser is sent to:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
When clicking on the error message at the bottom of the
browser, the following error message is displayed. (This was
copied, which Vista gives you the opportunity to do, then pasted
here.)
Webpage error details
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT
6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0;

OfficeLivePatch.0.0; .NET CLR 3.0.30618)

Message: Error in loading DLL
Line: 182
Char: 4

URI:
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/lib/com.adobe/swfobject.js
Flash content DOES play with Adobe Flash 10 in my user
account with Apple Safari browser when started normally, just not
with IE8 browser. However, the IE8 browser does play Flash content
in any and every other user account.
BWolfe, instead of telling us about proper Adobe procedures
for reporting and troubleshooting these things, how about you
forward this to someone who can tell us how to fix this thing! I,
like dougclutter and others, have been thru the entire Adobe Flash
Player troubleshooting guide, carried out every suggestion there
exactly, to no avail. I can show you at least 3 other instances of
different folks with this same problem. And, as I think I've seen
elsewhere in this thread, and tried myself, Adobe certainly doesn't
make it easy to report non-paying customer problems, as with Flash
Player.
It's high time Adobe gets with at least one of us to help
diagnose and cure this problem, and then adds the info to their
troubleshooting guide, or else fix it in the application if
possible. Whether the problem is in the app, or do to interaction
with Vista and possibly XP, you guys need to look into this thing.
I, for one, would be more than happy to help you 'shoot this thing,
I am and engineer and have been computing since the DOS days.
Bewildered,
Dave

PowerPoint 2003 SP3 won't play Flash content

One of our company's products requires the distribution of a Flash file embedded in a PowerPoint slide. This works fine on most machines, except for those with Office/PowerPoint 2003 Service Pack 3 installed. After much hunting, I think I have finally narrowed the issue down to the way in which SP3 deals with add-ins, ActiveX controls and COM add-ins. This Microsoft support page has more information on the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938814/
Essentially, SP3 introduces an additional security check that the Flash content fails. Surely others must have had similar problems with Flash in Office 2003 SP3? And, surely, there must be an easier way of getting around this issue that doesn't require me to remotely login into every client's machine and edit their registry for them?
Does anyone know of a patch for either Flash (making it compliant with Microsoft's security requirements as detailed in the above link) or Office 2003?
I'm at my wits end here, so any insight would be VERY much appreciated.
Thanks!

All I can recommend is to file a bug report at http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to have the issue addressed by Adobe.
Hopefully someone else has a solution for you that addresses the immediate problem for you.

Flash content distorts when scrolling and switching tabs.. since FF 13.0.1..

Before describing the issue
Please note from the System Details pane to this post that I have the latest flash, etc.
And Windows updates,are up to date.
==================================================
Issue: Scrolling distorts flash player window (Youtube, hulu, etc.)
Since: FF 13.0.1 update in June. (I posted on the issue under "badly scrambled images".)
Problem is still there with FF 14.0.1
This distortion happens:
# even with just starting the browser (so no bloated cache)
# even with just only one or two tabs open.
And since last week's update to FF 14.01, I have also detected:
Switching to the the tab with flash content will "imprint" the image from the my previous tab on to the flash player. I have to scroll or refresh to get the flash player to show its content.
FYI, none of these flash player problems occur with IE9.
The advise from a regular contributor was to turn off hardware acceleration, but these did not solve this issue.:(
Solutions suggesting disabling all the plugins etc. have not solved the problem either.
So if you can tell me some other way to solve this, I will appreciate it.
Thanks.

Sorry, it took me a while to give feedback for the suggestions you have given here.
(Please refer to sidebar on the original post for system details.)
I have reset the profile and updated the Nvidia driver. The version of FF is 14.0.1. But it still scrambles the pictures.
On top of scrambling the flash content when scrolling, it has additional problems:
As you can see from the attached image, another tab's content is showing on the youtube flash player. This happens when I have paused the video even for a short time.
I have a suspicion that the combination of Flash and Firefox does some weird things to graphic processing and memory.
(I realize that IE implements Flash differently, but they seem to have this right.)
I might just have to say goodbye to Firefox for a while.
Thanks.

CDESK: How to get a customized content in the document list tab

I try to get a specific list of document info records (DIR's) in the document list tab of the CDESK - similar to the document search result.
I use the Addin-BADI and the ~PROCESS_NEW_FUNCTIONS/~ADD_NEW_FUNCTIONS methods to start a costumer specific selection of DIR's.
For instance I want to select all documents with contain the digits 99.
Then I want to show the selection result as the content of the document list tab to proceed with further steps like ckeck-out and so on.
I followed an example which I found in this forum, see thread "CDESK: Start userdefined search program and recieve DIRs".
My coding is:
method if_ex_cdesk_tbm_addin~process_new_functions.
    when 'ZFCODE_ARBVOR'.
      data lt_draw type table of draw.
      select * from draw into table lt_draw
        where dokar = 'TKD'
          and doknr = '99'.
      sort lt_draw stable by dokar doknr doktl dokvr ascending.
      delete adjacent duplicates from lt_draw comparing dokar doknr doktl dokvr.
      PERFORM refresh_sap_list IN PROGRAM saplcdesk TABLES lt_draw USING 'X'.
But nothing happens with the document list when executing this customer function.
I assume it is not possible to update the document list out of a BADI in that way.
Does anyone has some hints?
Kind regards,
Matthias Fischer

Hi Khaled,
There is an standard RFC RFC_READ_TABLE which can read any table in R/3. But the data returned will be unformatted hence you need to parse it. This FM has few limitations aswell.
RFC_READ_TABLE is an RFC that allows users to read a table remotely. This is important particularly to Java developers using JCO to communicate with an ABAP back-end. Unfortunately, RFC_READ_TABLE has size limitations; it also incorrectly reads binary data. Also no authorization checking takes place.
Also refer the link below
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/portal-content/simplified queries of sap tables from java
hope this helps..
Regards

Dreamweaver Panels - Only one panel visible at a time, others get obscured even with Always On Top.

I have a problem with my Dreamweaver MX, and it is that I can only see one panel at a time, any other open panels get obscured. For example, with the work space maximized, and having the properties and behaviors panels open, I can only see one of the panels at the same time. If I click on any area of the work space each open panel will display and with the next click the other will display. If I make the work space smaller then the whole area of my screen, and move any open panels outside of the Dreamweaver work space, only then they will stay visible. I know this is not normal behavior, because I used to be able to see all the open panels simultaneously, with the work space maximized to use all the screen area. I went to Preferences> Panels> Always On Top, and all the checkmarks are still set, so as to keep all panels on top at all times, but this does no longer be the case. Can someone tell me what happened here, and how I can get back to being able to see all the open panels? BTW, I tried installing older version of Dreamweaver 4, and the same thing happens to both installed versions. This is extremely annoying!
Thanks. -Al.

Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

Firefox hangs and will not allow me to access other programs running when I resize a pop up window, move a pop up window, accidentally right click flash content.

== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Not sure when it statrted

Hi.
When this happens, please press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and see how much RAM and CPU Firefox is using. If they're sky high, then... Well, that kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix you issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.

Get IE8 to display Flash content

Does anyone have a bullet proof method for embedding Flash content so that it shows in all flavors of IE8 WITHOUT having the user change settings on their machine?
I'm working on a project that was tested by a couple of people who could see the content then click on a link in the Flash content which loads a URL in the same page THEN when they hit the back button in their IE browser the Flash content doesn't show.
I was using SWFObject to embed but have switched to a simple method shown below:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="cdbwidget" data="CDBabyStore_widget.swf?customerID=xhWv7J5EP8fi22rByrPcVg%3d%3d&byType=ByCustomer&si teURL=document.referrer&colorScheme=0x000000,0xE0E0E0,0xCCCCCC,0x666666,0x333333,0xFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFF" width="550" height="575">
<param name="movie" value="CDBabyStore_widget.swf?customerID=xhWv7J5EP8fi22rByrPcVg%3d%3d&byType=ByCustomer&s iteURL=document.referrer&colorScheme=0x000000,0xE0E0E0,0xCCCCCC,0x666666,0x333333,0xFFFFFF ,0xFFFFFF" />
</object>
I've tested this on Windows 7 running IE7, 8 & 9 and it works flawlessly but two people are having the issue I noted above.
Thanks for any tips.

In a nutshell, if you've tested it and it works, it works. The two people who are having problems (there will probably be thousands more worldwide) have a setting in their Internet Options or in Windows that is causing the problem.
You might want to run this through the Flash and Dreamweaver forums as well to get some more insight from people who are more skilled at Flash integration and older browser compatibility.

Flash content loaded in IFRAME gets disappeared while applying transform:scale css property

I have an iframe loaded with a flash content inside, and i have to resize the iframe while browser window width changes. So i tried changing transform:scale() property on different media query cut-offs. But unfortunately firefox makes the flash content disappear while applying transform-scale property. Is there any way to overcome this?

Sorry, i don't know how to visualize this. I can paste a sample code here, will it help?
'''HTML:'''
<iframe width="900px" class="iframeStyle" align="middle" height="1200px" frameborder="0" src="http://linktoFlashContainingHtml.html"> </iframe>
'''CSS'''
.iframeStyle {
transform:scale(0.5);
While applying this tranform:scale property, iframe get scaled but flash content inside the page loaded in IFRAME disappears

Macbook Pro Late 2008 gets real hot when viewing Flash Content. Does anyone have a solution?

Macbook Pro Late 2008 gets hot, fans kick on at 6200 rpm, and CPU usage of about 65% when viewing Flash Content. I've been to the Adobe Forum, but saw no solution for this. Already unchecked Hardware Acceleration. I had motherboard replaced just a week ago, so that's not the issue. I hope someone can help.

MDhennin wrote:
Yes it was happening before the logicboard was replaced. I'm up to date with Flash and Software Updates too. Macbook can handle everything but Flash content. So I assume its related to some kind of incompatability. Not sure though. I have come across others who have the same issue.
Ok, dumb question on my part, but did any of those others find a solution? If not, what have they, and you, tried? If you don't mind, posting a link to content which causes this might be helpful (I don't watch a lot of Flash-based video, but I've never had an issue like that on my early 2008/less able MBP . . .).

Flash content in browser dialog is not getting rendering with IE10 - Windows 8

Hi,
I am trying to launch window popup dialog. The dialog points to HTML page which loads swf file.
Everything works fine but in case of IE10 on Windows 8, the flash content is not getting rendering inside popup dialog.
I have verified that .swf file loads but it is not showing its content. If I close the dialog, the flash file conten get diaplay for a moment.
This isssue occurs if I open dialog using showModalDialog or showModalessDialog. Works fine if popup opened using window.open.
Reiterating again - this issue occurs only with IE10 on Windows 8. It works fine otherwise with IE10 on Windows 2012, Firefox on Windows 8 and on both browser in rest of the windows version.
Look at it get the clear idea - http://youtu.be/SupJYZoLk5I.
Requesting you to share your idea.
Thanks,
Prithveesingh.

Firefox does not use the same version of Flash as Internet Explorer, you need to download and install the version of Flash used by Firefox.
Using Firefox go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to download the installer, then run this file to install Flash.

Alt tags for Flash content; How do I get rid of them

With the new Dreamweaver update, all my flash files have
acquired Alt tags. I imagine this has something to do with the
javascript it is now using to load the content. However, how do I
get rid of them! My clients HATE them, and I do too!

But I have to ask you - what is the VBScript in there doing?
It seems to me
to be invalid as well - 'request.querystring' needs a
"(stringname)" or an
empty (), no?
So - there is no "alt" attribute specified in there (nor can
there even be
one on Flash, anyhow). Without seeing the actual page, I can
only shrug and
say I have no idea....
