Flash Games in Windows 8 don't appear to work

Hi,
My kids like to play the games at www.lego.com/games.  When they go in with the new Windows 8 PC, it pops up saying that Flash is required, but of course, it's already installed in Windows 8.  This happens in both versions of IE that come with it.
After having done everything possible from this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html, I am at my wits end.  Weirdly enough, when I open the Flash Player in Settings (Control Panel), it is titled "Flash Player (32-bit)", though the system is 64 bit.  I seem unable to do anything else.
I am using the latest version, everything is as the earlier help page suggests, but still, I'm told that I need Flash Player to work the games.
Interestingly, using iView (www.abc.net.au/iview), works perfectly, which is a flash video site I often use.

Hello,
Beginning in Windows 8, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer.  In order to update Flash Player, you must install the Internet Explorer for Flash Player updates, via Windows Updates.  Depending on what updates are installed, Windows does require a system restart.

  • Flash games, (perfect poker, bubble island etc) dont work on facebook after Firefox 4 install?

    Flash games, (ie perfect poker, bubble island etc) on facebook dont work after Firfox 4 install. i have all latest updates to adobe etc.

    I would like to remove facebook, whatsapp, coming soon, mcafee, uefa, wisepilot, news republic and that xperia power management tool.
    Those 8 app are not useful and waste my space on the phone. I tried to uninstall them, everytime i restart the phone they install again and again, it's a pain!!
    The wifi bug is not solved, the led notification is not solved, the light sensor is not solved and we have now no HD video.
    What the hell are you doing there??????????????????????????????????????????
    Last minute update: After a lot of tries and restart finally it doesn't install anymore mcafee, uefa (I had 2 uefa application automatically installed!!), wisepilot, news republic, comingsoon.
    I still can't get rid of that damn bloatware facebook (Facebook app, Calendar sync per facebook, Facebook extension, FBiX Music Likes,FBiX Post Viewer, FBiX Proxy, FBiX Setup, Friends Games and Applications, Friend Music and Videos) and Whatsapp (I dont use it and it waste 4MB). To jo_xperia: how did you uninstall facebook?

  • ITunes Match Smart Playlists Don't Appear to Work

    Hi all!
    I was playing around with the smart playlists in iTunes last night, to try and keep an eye on how the sync to the cloud was progressing.
    I created smart playlists with iCloud status is: duplicate, error, ineligible, local only, matched, purchased and uploaded.
    Now, when I look at my full list of songs, I see the "ineligible" icon next to several items (mostly digital booklets) yet the ineligible playlist shows 0 entries. Similarly,  directly after importing a CD, the tracks on the CD show "waiting", I would expect my "local only" playlist to show these items, but again, that playlist shows 0 entries. The only playlist that appears to work is the "duplicate" playlist
    anyone else had this before? am i doing something wrong (likely!)
    cheers!

    UPDATE: so i was looking through some more, and here's another issue: I bought James Blunts album many many years ago. If I look at the "matched" playlist it shows "Goodbye My Lover" which is track 4/11, the remaining 10 tracks are in the "purchased" playlist. Checking the info on "Goodbye My Lover" show that it is "Purchased AAC audio file"
    I've also bought the AC/DC box set from iTunes, and some of those tracks are showing in the "uploaded" playlist!
    In "View Options" i enabled iCloud status and it's just all over the place!  Music i've purchased (and subsequently added to iTunes from apple support allowing me to redownload purchases) are shown as "Uploaded" or "Matched", some songs from albums (imported) are matched and others uploaded. Parts of box sets are "uploaded", others are "matched" and others "purchased"...
    what the?! I'm just confused! I'd like to use the option to upgrade my songs to the best quality (for my CD imports) and thought these playlists would help (actually a single button - "Upgrade" would be nice!) but they don't appear to be too accurate

  • Flash games on FaceBook don't work - Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit + Firefox 7.0.1

    Hello,
    I installed today the FlashPlugin update for Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit version). After the update all FaceBook games stoped working in Firefox 7.0.1. They still work with Chrome (version 15.0.874.120).
    System Information:
    AMD Semprom 140
    3.7 GB of RAM
    Graphics: GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW!
    Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot
    Firefox 7.0.1 (Mozila Firefox for Ubuntu - Canonical - 1.0)
    adobe-flashplugin 11.1.102.55-0oneiric1
    adobe-flash-properties 11.1.102.55-0oneiric1
    Regards,

    Due to the lack of official info both from Adobe and from Mozilla, I did some research on this and here's what I found out as a solution:
    - I navigated to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and the reported version was 10.1.99.0
    - I navigated to about:plugins and the listed flashplayer plugin was Gnash and not Adobe Flash plugin
    - In Firefox I uninstalled the flash player plugin
    - In the Synaptic Package Manager, I uninstalled Gnash and Gnash Plugin
    - In a terminal window I issued <bash>$ sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
    - In the Synaptic Package Manager I unistalled the adobe-flashplayer plugin and, then, re-installed it
    - Back in Firefox I navigated to about:plugins to verify that it listed the Adobe Flash Plugin
    - Navigated again to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to make sure version 11.1.102.55
    After that all flash sites (not only FB games were affected) came back to normal operation.
    Hope this helps someone else

  • CDs, flash drives, network shares don't appear on the desktop when mounted.

    has anybody experienced this with os x tiger? i have experienced it on a wide range of powerpc macs (have not used an intel mac yet unfortunately) running all versions of os x Tiger (10.4.0 through 10.4.6)
    when myself or users insert a CD, a usb flash drive, a firewire hard drive, connect to a network share, or even save a file to the desktop, the object does not appear on the desktop. it actually doesn't appear anywhere in the finder, not even in the finder sidebar. however with files at least i know they are there because i can see them on the desktop.
    i've submitted a bug report to apple and i know they are working on finding out what is causing this. since i can't find anybody else having the problem i haven't ruled out the possibility that it is some 3rd party piece of software running, but i'm still doing my own testing. clamXav, temperature monitor, and the retrospect client are suspect and i'll need more testing to eliminate those as contributing factors to this bizarre finder behavior.
    has anybody else experienced this with os x tiger? did you get it corrected? thank you

    whoops, i meant downloaded files don't always appear on the desktop but i can see them in the terminal. it's been a long day heheh.
    all three checkboxes in finder preferences are on so they should show on the desktop, i haven't done anything in open firmware yet. so far the system is running smoothly with clamXav turned off, it's possible version 1.0.1 (what i was running) was incompatible with tiger. the retrospect clients are all at the latest version released by emc/dantz.
    i'm thinking less and less that it is a bug, especially since i can't find any mention of others having that issue on these discussion boards.

  • Flash game-skeeball

    I need to create a flash version of the game skeeball. I've
    never done a flash game before and don't know where to start. I've
    found several tutorials and stuff on games, but none of them seem
    to fit the game of skeeball. Does anyone know any good tutorials or
    have any suggestions how to set this up?? I was thinking random
    movie clips of the ball going into one of the 8 holes, but I wanted
    something more realistic. Please any help would be greatly
    appreciated. Thank you for your time and patience.

    Do I know the answer - nope. But that is the challenge of
    making a Flash game, coming up with the ideas on how to make it
    work. When I created my first game I didn't know jack squat about
    using Flash. I basically came up with the concept, then figured out
    how to do each part step by step until it all came together. So,
    think about how you want the game to work, and don't worry about
    the "how to do it" part.
    Also, you might want to think of an original game, or
    something that hasn't been done before:

    Good luck!

  • Flash game submission

    Hi.
    I'm just finishing quite a large Flash game project, mostly
    done as a learning exercise for myself. However, once it's all
    tested and done, I'd quite like to put it somewhere. Does anyone
    have any experience of, or knowledge of the best (and most
    reputable) Flash games hosts? My motive is simply to make sure the
    thing gets played, after spending so much time completing it.
    Thanks.

  • Flash player in windows 8.1 always says to upgrade to latest to play games on facebook. When i try it says i have the latest

    I have a Toshiba satellite L75D-A7283 laptop and for 9+ months I have had the same problem, green screen on video's and when trying to play facebook games it says I need the latest player. I have to restart not just IE but my entire computer in order for flash player to work and sometimes that doesn't work. When I try to update to the lastest flash player it says I already have it. When I go to test the flash player it says either flash player is disabled or active x filter is on which is neither true. It also says that E.I. is the latest also. This is frustrating and want it fixed so what is my next step ?

  • Youtube and flash games work, but other sites that use flash don't work

    Hi-
    I'm currently using Firefox 18.0.2 on 2 different computers (Both Win7 64 bit), both with flash 11.6.602.168. Both have roughly the same programs installed and the same browser configuration. However, on one machine, flash works only on some sites. For instance, Youtube works perfectly, as do dedicated flash games. However, sites that use embedded flash applications fail to work. For instance, if I visit www.speedtest.net, where the test options normally appear is completely blank. Similarly, other video players fail. For example, videos in www.cbsnews.com play sound, but where the video should be is just white. I've tried completely uninstalling both firefox as well as flash, and installing previous versions, nothing has worked.

    I guess it is a process of elimination, what is different ?
    I would first of all check and experiment with Adobe FlashPlayer protected mode setting.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows
    Also have you any filtering, adblock or security related programs installed which may block video or scripts. With you-tube check is it actually using Flash player,and not trying to use any HTML5 options so check any options and cookies.

  • Playlists don't appear in iTunes Playlist selection window when synching

    I just updated to iTunes 9.0 (big mistake) and discovered that many of my playlists do not appear in the playlist selection window when I synch my iPod nano 2.0. Even playlists that I created after upgrading to 9.0 don't appear. I have more playlists than I can load onto my iPod, so I need to be able to select which playlists to synch. Since many don't even appear in the selection window, I can't put them on my iPod. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    BTW, I have already gone through the Five R's, which did nothing to help.

    Personally I use Subler to tag all these shows and then send them to Itunes. In subler you have the option of setting the Media Type and also the HD option of 720 or 1080p if applicable. Save it then use the file, Send to itunes and they show up in the right place.

  • Some flash files don't appear on macintosh

    I've installed the latest flash player on a macintosh 10.4.11. But I've noticed that a few flash sites don't appear. Among them the flash player page itself:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
    As you can see, where the flash movie should play there's just white space. Both on Safari and Firefox for Mac.
    I've also tried in on another mac so it's not just my computer.
    I've checked the version on: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about and that flash movie runs fine. It also says: 'You have version 10,0,32,18 installed'
    At home on a pc these pages (like http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer) work fine. What kind of thing could make the swf disappear on a mac?

    That one works fine on both macs to. It's not just my mac giving trouble. Tested in on another mac too to make sure it's not my computer. The other one has only the basic operating system (os 10.4.11) and the latest flash player and other default stuff. So no fancy additions like on mine. But the same result there:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/  - white space
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about    - no problem
    Another site which gives white space is www.morethanline.nl. I can see the preloader, but after that the screen turns white exept for the red ribbon on the top left which says 'vacatures' . Clicking on that doesn't do anything, which I expect is because it changes the main movie in the center. Which is white so even though it would change to the 'vacatures' page, I wouldn't see it.
    Is it perhaps the way the swf loads external swf's? Some way that isn't compatible on a mac and works fine on a pc? I don't know how the products/flashplayer swf loads the external movie. Do you happen to know how it is loaded? I can see the play/pauze buttons as you can see from my screendump. Just not the loaded video. Perhaps there's some specific way it is loaded which doesn't work on a mac and gives white space instead?

  • I can't open video file in the page , i download and install flash many time but don't work , i use firefox 5 and windows 7

    i can't open video file in the page , i download and install flash many time but don't work , i use Firefox 5 and windows 7

    My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
    Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?
