Flash mouse buttons sometimes not working

Sometimes in Flash applications, it doesn't listen to left mouse button clicks on button controls anymore. Does anyone know a solution for this that actually works?
Many people report this problem with Youtube movies, but personally I'm a Newgrounds.com Flash game gamer, so it's even more annoying to me.
Thanks.

See the Wiki page which has a section on this problem.
(There is also this is from the Ubuntu bugtracker. but I think most of the workarounds would apply to Arch as well.)
If I'm not mistaken, however, this only affects those running 32-bit flash on a 64-bit system with a wrapper. Consider installing the new beta native 64-bit flashplayer Adobe recently released (flashplugin-prerelease in AUR). Discussion here.

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

My mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work

I am using a 24 inch imac and the problem is suddenly my mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work i can see cursor moving and i can use the features of the keyboard but my mouse dies. I tried to plug in another mouse magic trackpad and my tablet but each has the same problem. I can not click to anything but cursor is moving and computer is not frozen. I have to shut it off from the power button when this happens. Do you have any idea what can cause this and how can i fix this?

Reset the SMC 2-3 times. Click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets for instructions.

Left mouse button does not work after last upgrade on one computer.

Second request -- left mouse button no longer works after latest upgrade. Uninstalled and reinstalled - did not help. Only affected my office computer. Left button works on other three search engines and other programs -- need suggestions...

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Portal Content Studio - mouse button does not work anymore

if you use the portal content studio
content-administration > portal-content
you can configure the portal objects by browsing them and clicking the right mouse button.
That worked but now the mouse button doesn't work - left mouse button works as expected (with left mouse button one can navigate through the objects, iViews, working sets, etc...).
Right mouse button does nothing, portal objects could not be edited. Of course, the mouse is Ok.
Is this strange error known?
How to avoid it?
Is there a possibility to reset this application, so it restarts/re-initializes correctly?
Even a restart of SAP NetWeaver didn't help.
Or can one use another method to perform an action instead of the right mouse button?

reason were endorsed libs in the jre

DV6-2177 Right Mouse Button (touchpad) not working.

I've got a dv6-2177, 3 months old and the right mouse button isn't working. When I right click, there is no context menu that shows up. I've reloaded the pointing device drivers but it doesn't solve the problem. Any external mouse that I connect will work fine but the built in right button is useless.
Any idea what the problem is?

I have the same issue. It has been driving me nuts for months. I have tried everything, and done a LOT of research. The left click brings on the context menu on the desktop and in a few other instances. The right click does not work AT ALL... even if you try to set it up as a tap-a-touch feature (so it is not the hardware), and also the windows lose focus, until you hit the start menu key, or control alt delete, if it is being really stubborn. I have an HP G7... only 6 months old. HP or Synaptic needs to fix this!! It makes my laptop almost useless and definitely frustrating to use!!

Flash Component Button click not working

I've gone back to an old project to change some logos around,
and my flash component buttons no longer work. They appear on
stage, but the click event is not happening. I authored on XP, now
on Vista. Director 10.1. Any idea what is happening?

If you are adding those buttons now, check for each button
the Flash
component tab in the property inspector and make sure the
eventPassMode
(lowest option) is set to #passAllways.

Auto-scoll (middle mouse button) gone/not working in Firefox 20/Windows 7 64-bit?

duplicate of [/questions/956896]
I recently upgraded both my work PC and my home PC to Firefox 20.0.1. My work PC (Win XP 32-bit) works fine, but my home PC (Win 7 64-bit) no longer allows me to auto-scroll when I click the middle mouse button (it does nothing). I have tried restarting Firefox with all addons disabled, as well as a totally fresh install, but haven't had any luck. To clarify, the mouse wheel itself still works as it should, it's just clicking it in to auto-scroll that's the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this?
##EDIT##
Please delete this (double post)

Did you check the setting?

Remapped mouse buttons do not work in CS 5?

Remapped mouse button functionality works fine in some programs ( Bridge, Dreamweaver, Soundbooth )
But act non-existant in others ( Photoshop, Illustrator )
My experience is with an Intellimouse optical and intellipoint software ( newest drivers for win 7 )
Win 7 x86
Anyone have a similar experience with cs5
And/or know of a registry setting?

I created a
new Windows account and the problem went away
remapped buttons work fine in the new account. Doubt it was preferences as I didn't have time to set any.
What I "DID" do however was to customize my remapped buttons by hacking the intellipoint registry settings.
intellipoint doesn't support spacebar in it's remapping list
if you want MMB panning functionality so u don't suffer navigation dyslexia
when switching between apps ( "most 3D apps" ) the
acsii for space is "20" .
not having to relearn mmb panning muscle memory makes one very productive.
the best UI is your UI
someday there will be a common objectn/viewport navigation "standard".
( deviation from... punishable by something truly horrible )
Otherwise why can't everything just be customizable?
( can I assign mmb to the"interactive" hand instead of the "hardcoded" spacebar yet? )
either way...
I hacked my registry once again. Just like before but remapping is still working fine in the new account.
I guess I'll just delete that old account.

In Mail my right mouse button will not work

I have a three-button mouse that worked flawlessly in Mavericks. It still works with Netnewswire, but not Mail.
When I see a link I want to explore I use the right-click button to decide if I want to open a new a new Tab or a new Window.
It shows those options (and others) in Mail - but does nothing.

Check the System Preferences > Mouse settings to be sure they are correct for a three button mouse. Check the Mail > Preferences to see if a mouse preference appears for you. There is not one for my MagicMouse but the secondary click, aka right click, for my Magic Mouse works fine in Mail.

Flash Movie Buttons Do Not Work (DW & FL CS3)

Hello,
I'm fairly confident in DW but still getting to grips with
Flash, however...
I created a flash movie from a small .wmv sample clip went
through the DW import and convert steps, chose the standard buttons
and published it!
The video worked fine in the flash preview (and in the HTML
preview) and the video controls works just fine, I even have all
the files saved into a single folder.
I then embed then embedded the .swf file into my page on DW
and still got the grey box which shows there is a flash file I then
previewed it in a browser and the controls do not show, I even
uploaded it to my server to try it live on the net and still the
same problem.
I'm much more of a designer than a coder and I looked over
the coding and it 'appeared' to be fine.
What simple idiotic thing am I not doing...?
I'm using Dreamweaver & Flash CS3
Many thanks, Jack :)

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

TS3048 mouse buttons do not work

I had this same problem on my MacBookAir and now I have it on the iMac. The left and right click functions of the mouse stop working in Yosemete. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you correct it?
Thanks,

Just today, both my iMac late 2013 and my Netbook Pro Retina, both using Yosemite 10.10.2 experienced the same problem.
The laptop, I restored to an older version from the Airport Extreme and the mouse worked for a little while.... now it's locked up..
The iMac, SMC reset "seems" to have removed the problem. So far... But still trying to be sure I'm executing the SMC reset on the laptop properly. Looks like more testing for me... yay... (not)
edit to add: built in track on laptop, bluetooth mouse AND USB mouse all tried

Why do stop buttons sometimes not work

I know there are a lot of threads on this topic and I have tried a lot of the solutions I have seen but I cannot seem to get my program to stop. I have multiple while loops and I want one button that ends terminates the program. I have the tried putting everything in one while loop with a boolean control, I have tried the case structure stop/vi's and I have tried using the stop function (supposed to act the same as the abort button), and still my program will not terminate.
