Flash Content in HTMLLoader ignores DisplayList

When using an HTMLLoader to load a page that includes Flash
content, the Flash content always appears at the top of the
applications displayList. Even if a DisplayObject is given a higher
index than the HTMLLoader object, the Flash content always appears
on top.
Can anyone offer any help on this?

HI Shift_nis - you need to set the index on adobe display objects so example
window.htmlLoader.stage.setChildIndex(displayObject,1)
will set the index to 1.
Example:

Hope this helps

Flash content in HTMLLoader

I have an HTMLLoader instance being displayed deep in the
heirarchy of Sprites. I noticed that flash content displays fine
when contained within a separate NativeWindow that is popped up
when the HTMLHost.createWindow() is triggered.
Is there some setting that I am missing in order to show
flash content?

Hi,
Have you gone through the
limitations
of embedded flash in HTMLLoader?
If this doesn't fall under any of the exceptions, log a bug

Htmlloader flash content blank popup max OSX

Ok this is driving me crazy if anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate the help.   I have a flex app that loads some external pages with an htmlloader. Whenever there is flash content on those pages a blank (all white with minimize, maximize, close buttons) popup window comes up.   This happens on any page with flash content, if I close the window the flash content stops.     I feel like that didn't always happen but I can't remember, does anyone have any ideas.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Here's the code for the page:

by default, flash starts playing and will stop only if there's code to stop it OR there's not enough of the swf downloaded to allow it to play.
in the later case, using a preloader with preloader animation in frame 1 will solve the problem.

Why is my flash content not working on my dreamweaver created html site?

This is a problem that's happening on my website I'm creating. I created a quick test website to show you the problem on the fourm. It's the same problem, and if you can provide the solution to this test website I can apply it to my main website.
Test website on server:
test331754952.net23.net
What I did:
-launched flash
-typed "test" and made it spin 360 degrees
-published swf
-launched dreamweaver
-created a site
-moved swf to site folder
-saved a html file to the site folder
-in dreamweaver, went to insert, media, swf, then selected the swf I made
-it inserted the swf, creating a gray placeholder for it
-re-saved the html document, at which point dreamweaver created a folder named script and 2 files, an swf, and a javascript file
Site Directory:
Scripts Sub-Directory:
What happens:
-when I launch the swf on my machine, it plays fine
-when I open the swf directly on the test website on the server, it plays fine
-when I open the html with the embended swf on the test website on the server, it shows a gray box, then goes white
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in browser and choose internet explorer, it tells me I don't have new flashplayer(I do: flashplayer 11)
Ie also pokes up a box at the bottom that says its not allowing content. When I click allow content, it creates a gray box
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in borwser and choose google chrome, it tells me flash player has stopped a potentionally unsafe operation. When I close this dialog box, it gives me a gray box where my swf should be embeded.
-I've tried changing global flash secuirty setting and it does nothing
-I've tried visiting the test website on multiple computers in my household to no avail
-I've tried having friends visit the site on their computer at their house to no avail
-I did't touch the code on this test website-the code is exactly what dreamweaver generated

There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).
Best wishes,

Flash Content on the BBC in Safari 5.0.6

This question applies to my G5 2.5 gHz Tower running Safari 5.0.6. and an issue with Flash content on the BBC News website.
I often the BBC News website, and until a few months ago was able to play all of their video content. For some inexplicable reason their website now tells me I do not have the minimum Flash version (10.1.0) for playback. However, I do have the minimum Flash installation (v.10.1.102.64) as confirmed by the Adobe web site, and, seconded by the simple fact that Firefox 3.6.25 on the very same computer does play all the content at the BBC News web site and fails to generate any warnings.
So, Mac gurus and assorted experts who have earned my depest respect... what's going on? I have written to those in charge of the BBC News web site and indications are they probably didn't read my message past the subject line as they proceeded to ask me all the questions they'd have had answers to by reading my message in the first place. In short, they asked me to upgrade to Flash 10.1.0... so that route is not going solve my problem.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks...

BBC iPlayer relies on Adobe Air. AIR 1.5.3 is the last version of AIR that supports Mac PowerPC and Windows 2000. AIR applications that require AIR 2 or later cannot be installed or used on a Macintosh PowerPC or a computer running the Windows 2000 operating system.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

Flash content will not load in IE7

My company standard is IE7
I'm charged with developing flv that will auto play on PC from a removable thumb drive.
in addition it should be able to launch a url.
I'm using CS4 Flash and Dreamweaver
developing on a Mac.
I've used action script 3 to program buttons that start, stop and launch url
I've worked everything out on a Mac.it works fine in Mac environment.
I've gotten swf files to autoplay on PC
the PROBLEM?
when I try load the html web page on the PC with IE7 the flash content (either a swf or flv embedded using Dreamweaver) does not load.
IF I leave the IE specific html in the code IE7 returns a message that flash player needs to update. - IT has installed the latest version of flash player.
if I extract the sniffer/alternative code the flash content does not load there is no message
If the swf file auto loads and plays then Why is that a problem?
action script - to launch url execution launches as a security warning and the trusted settings window
not very seamless eh?
so the alternative is to play the flash content embedded in html and create launch url button in html . . . but ofcourse flash content won't load in IE7.
I've not been able to test the code on any other version of IE
I hope this is enough information to help if not let me know what you need to know . . .
thanks in advance for any time you all spend on this.
M
To the moderator I apologize for an earlier "test" post I was unaware nay ignorant of a test forum . . .

I am having the very same problem and have done exactly the same... generated my html through flash professional CS5. It works great in IE8 but is just a blank page in IE7. You did not post the solution, did you find one?
My flash generated code is here http://www.asessippi.com/test/calendar.html will all of the supporting files in the same folder, and nothing else in there.
Any suggestions?

Safari 4.0.4/Firefox 3.5.2 Freeze on Flash Content in Tiger 10.4.11

Sorry for any cross postings. I can't seem to find a thread where this issue is started by someone who is using Tiger as opposed to either Leopard.
Both Firefox and Safari get the spinning beach ball of death when they encounter Flash programming. I first encountered it with the Huffington Post website on Wednesday night, and then noticed it when trying to access some pages in Facebook with video, and ditto with Youtube. All Flash content.
My first attempt to deal with this was to just uninstall Flash. That worked, in the sense that pages no longer hung. However, I do need some of that Flash content and having uninstalled Flash, I couldn't access that content.
So yesterday I installed SafariStand so I might try to access some of the content that I need and that has partially worked. I set the Stand prefs to not auto load Flash and to ask me if I want to load Flash content in each instance. The pages load and are not hanging and I get a little box that tells me to click if I want to load Flash content. HuffPo, Youtube, even Facebook seems to work fine, I can click on Flash content and it plays without the spinning beach ball/freeze.
However, there is Flash content that I want to run and still can't because when I tell the Flash Plug In to load some content, it freezes the program and I get the spinning ball. Same happens to the same pages and sites in Firefox. I just updated Firefox 10 minutes ago and it didn't help. I've got Safari 4.0.4. I've been trying to load the BBC Listen Again iPlayer and it keeps freezing Safari and Firefox.
I've got OS X 10.4.11. I just checked again and there are no new OS updates for Tiger.
So any ideas? I have been dumping cache, removing the history and all that mumbo jumbo, which does not a lick of good for this issue. Like many others, since Safari 4 came out I've experienced more freezes than in all my prior years of being a Mac user. If it is an issue with Flash, will Apple deal with this? This is insane!

You have tried a lot of things, all correct, but have you repaired permissions since reinstalling Flash?
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
Also, how much RAM do you have? Some older G4's can struggle with today's streamed flash content.

Flash contents not being displayed on the published Apex application URL

I've had to publish one of my apex application through an bluecoat proxy to reach my Oracle HTTP server. It works fantastic for everything - except my flash charts. Flash contents are not getting loaded.Issue is only in the published application URL,the same application is working fine internally without proxy.
Does anyone have any idea why this is failing and how I might fix this?.The bluecoat support enginner is having the following findings
I am seeing some strange behavior when the browser goes through the
proxy vs when it does not.
When the browser uses the proxy the last thing it requests is the
following(packet 354):

That is the browser requests
http://ithelpdesk.anupcomp.ae/i/themes/theme_20/btn-bg.gif and gets a
200 ok from the proxy/server.
When the browser does not use the proxy I see the following
behavior(packet 2783):
The browser requests
http://anupserver:7777/i/themes/theme_20/btn-bg.gif 2 times, each time
the server responds with a 304 not modified status, this means the
browser has the most recent copy of the .gif file. The browser finally
does a post to http://anupserver:7777/pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept. Given
that the browser gets a 200 ok response from the proxy when requesting
http://ithelpdesk.anupcomp.ae/i/themes/theme_20/btn-bg.gif and then
stops requesting data, we need to understand why the browser is behaving
differently without the proxy(i.e. why does it request the content 2
times and why is it doing the post). The interaction between the
browser and the proxy appears normal, a 200 ok response with content is
normal, why does the browser stop requesting content?

Hello Orton,
I think this has something to do with network access, may be a firewall restricting access to the server.

Problem with Left Click (mighty mouse) and flash content

Hi, first sorry for my bad english...
Well I have an issue with the left click (i have mighty mouse) and flash content in Firefox:
if i'm using Firefox and then change to any other app, when i get back to firefox i have no left click anymore...
So i have to open the mouse setting panel and everything works fine again...
I don't want to open the mouse panel over and over again to fix that, so what i can do?
THANKS in advance =)
I uploaded a video to show the issue:

Hi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there...

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.

Web Part with Flash Content is not working in IE only

Hi All,
I have created on Visual WebPart its contain a flash embed object i am trying load this flash component inside the Iframe.
unfortunatly its not working in IE 11 version but its working fine with other browser like Mozila and Chorme.
I referred the other links like but its not helped me to solve this issue. i have tried without iframe alos its not working if its a standalone web page out side the shrepoint working fine.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/c88466ba-bd00-4cd3-a7cf-3a9a7eee7f51/flash-content-not-working-in-ie-11?forum=ieitprocurrentver
Thanks

Hi,
As the custom web part works well in other browsers, the issue may be related to the IE itself.
Have you tried the methods below?
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works.
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites->add the site into the zone
What’s more, you can also switch the Document mode to IE 10 or lower to check whether it works.
Thanks & Regards,

Upgraded to Flash 9 on OS 10.4.11 -- cannot view flash content

Hi All! I recently upgraded Flash to v. 9 and can no longer
view any Flash content online. No error messages - just blank space
where video clip would normally be. Shortly before I noticed these
problems, I also upgraded Quicktime. I've seen comments online
about going into System Preferences > Quicktime > Advanced
> MIME Settings > Miscelaneous. I was told to uncheck the
Flash in the list, but don't see Flash listed there. I'm not sure
if there is some conflict with Quicktime or if that upgrade is
unrelated? Any advice would be appreciated! Sue

I am having the same problem. When I installed The new Flash
Player it said it was installed successfully. But I don't see the
movie, just the (F) flash logo. When I go to pbskids.org to run
flash content, it says I need the Flash Player??

Windows 8 freezes while I try to watch online Flash content and running Audition CS6

I recently bought a online introduction course to Auditon CS6 on Vimeo.com
While I have a setup where I put the lecture on one screen and the program on the other I like to follow tutorials and learn how to use software.
However this proves to be impossible for me in Audition, because for some reason my computer gets completely unresponsive after a little while of watching the lectures with Audition running.
It never happens when Audition hasn't been launched, and I'm kind of suspecting a driver conflict, but I don't have a fancy audio card in my computer, (just built in Realtek,) and find it a bit
odd that it wouldn't be supported as it is some of the most common audio setups around. As far as I know the system runs stable with Audition running and no Flash content started as well.
This has happened for the last couple of months and I've updated Flash and drivers as they roll out. Audition CS6 is downloaded with the Creative Cloud application Manager.
Here is some general info on my computer:
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.
Motherboard: eVGA x58 Classified (Tried with stock BIOS and also updated to new BIOS)
Audio Card: Realtek (on motherboard)
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti
The system storage device is a SSD (Firmware recently updated due to BSODs apearing, and seems to be resolved.)
I do believe that this might not be a Audition issue, but rather a issue with Flash. However Audition + Flash reproduces this problem faster than anything else I can remember this happening while
using other 3rd party software while playing Flash. (Not exactly the type of software.) I have a suspicion that it is something that occurs if Flash and other programs is paging/wiring/reading the SSD...
I can't remember this happening with Photoshop or other Adobe software, and so I'm also curious to how different Audition runs "under the hood" so to speak. What is it constantly checking
that could lead to a hardware conflict.

A month ago I uninstalled AVG Internet security from my computer making it a lot less potent to BSODs in general, (can't reacall having any.) So today I thought I'd try to learn some more Audition. I could Sit with it for a good while just playing around with recordings and settings and my system didn't react weirdly at all. So the next step was of course to try and load some of the Udemy lectures I had waiting.
As the video was buffering I turned away from the computer for a while, but when I came back it had completely froze up again... I don't think I've ever had a BSOD in this context either, instead of going into BSOD the computer just stops responding completely.
(I'm using the latest version of Flash, tried with both Firefox and Chrome.)
I'm thinking this is a very niche bug and I can't seem to se that it can be anything but a conflict with Flash. Weither it's a memory leek or what ever it is.
I can use Audition fine on my computer it seems, as long as I never start a browser in risk of loading a Flash application, (which would be fine if I was avid, but I need some lectures to get started.)
Nothing really seems to be overloaded (RAM/CPU) before the freeze ocurs either.
I don't really know where or how to adress this to the Flash Player forum/community, (or if there is one.)
Thanks.

Adobe Reader cannot play embedded Flash content

I don't know why, the Flash format was originally created by Macromedia, and then Adobe acquired the company, but the Adobe Reader cannot display Flash content.
My PDF file is here:
http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/agi-book.pdf
Scroll to page 37.
The original SWF file is here:
http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/unified-AND-OR.swf
which *can* be played on my Chrome browser.
But when I embedded the SWF file in the PDF, the result is unplayable.
A clue is: Adobe Reader asked me to download QuickTime to display media contents. So I downloaded QuickTime. But QuickTime nowadays has removed Flash support. Why did Adobe Reader ask me to download QuickTime to display Flash, when Adobe owns the Flash format?
I have also tried selecting other media players in the Reader's option box (eg, Windows Media, Windows built-in, Adobe Flash, etc) but none of them works.
I have also tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. Same result.
It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Adobe Reader most certainly CAN play embedded Flash content, but only if you embed it properly.
You're seeing a Quicktime warning because you're embedding the SWF as "legacy media" content - this is no longer supported for authoring and is disabled by default for playback.You should use Rich Media Annotations instead (embedding using the multimedia/flash tool in Acrobat 9 or Acrobat X).

Hi, is this the right product for enabling flash contents? I need support for my Harvard e-learnings pls. After downloading Presenter, I get an error message 'Not a valid presenter' when I add the Harvard url. Need help.

Hi
Is there anothe product for enabling flash content.

Pallavi,
Adobe Presenter is a plug-in application to MS PowerPoint that allows you to add video, audio, Flash and quiz content in to a presentation and then author it out as a Flash based presentation that can the be delivered to others via the web. You are asking about enabling Flash content. In what browser/application are you needing to enable Flash Content?
The 'Not a valid presenter' message is most likely due to you not have the rights to author content to Harvard's e-learning system, but without knowing if the URL is for a Connect account or some other e-learning platform, it's hard to give any useful insight.
