Flash MX 6 and Player 9

Hi Folks,
We have XP machines with the Macromedia Suite loaded which
includes Flash MX 6 which includes Flash Player 6.
We have content that wants to utilize other various versions
of Flash such as 9. We have loaded the distributable version 9
however the content defaults to the version 6 player as associated
within XP.
My question is how do I make my associations use player
version 9 rather than version 6? The package for version 9 is the
ActiveX version and I wonder do I need a full version for 9 to work
in this scenario?

Hi, pivous, and welcome to Apple Discussions. You probably don't have enough RAM to use Flash, and your very high Virtual Memory setting can't compensate for the deficiency. Besides, setting VM as high as you have could make your Mac unstable all by itself. The recommended setting for VM is always 1MB more than the amount of physical RAM in your Mac — in your present situation, 65MB.
I recommend that you review the memory requirements for the version of Flash you're trying to use, add at least 64 MB of RAM to what you have now, and set VM for one MB more than the amount of installed RAM you end up with.

Flash beta 10 and player detection

Since installing Flash Player beta 10 for testing on my PC my
flash isn't working. Could it be that instead of taking the major
version "10" and comparing it to the required version "8", it's
using simply the first letter "1" and comparing it to the required
version "8"?

Hi slavagrov,
Did you run the uninstall_flash_player.exe before installing
the beta?
What version is being detected from this URL:

Also, if you have a URL that we can test with please include
it.

Adding Flash Player 11 support to Flash Pro CS5 and CS5.5

Yes you could but that also displays the debug movie console which is uneccessary if you just want to quickly test your movie.
I find myself using Test Movie hundreds of times a day and I just want a clean, quick, uncluttered view of how my work will look.
I do use Debug Movie but only occasionally.
More importantly though is that I'm not sure FP11 is ready yet. Its got a pretty horrible bug that really affects my work:

Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

Hi,
Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
I am facing some migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5:
I am working on a project that has been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 / Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a web page etc.
So, I would like to know:
1) Is there any migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5?
2) If yes: Is there any patch available from Adobe for it?
3) If no: What could be the causes and the best possible solutions for it?
Any help and support would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Safari does not recognize flash plug-in and will not play flash video

I use Safari as my go-to browser for web sites that would otherwise require me to turn off my several ad-block/flash-block plugIns for Firefox. I do have it set to ask for permission ('Trust this site?') for every time I use flash on a new site (since I reset Safari regularly and clear all cookies every time I close it this means every time, every site, it asks). New problem started sometime in the past week: Safari is returning a 'download flash' icon on some videos on some web sites--but on others it correctly goes through the 'trust this site to use flash?' routine and when I click 'trust now' it plays the video normally. Trying to figure out if this is a Safari problem, flash problem, or web site problem. How can Safari both recognize that flash is being asked for (that's why it shows me the 'download flash now' icon, right?) and not recognize that it has flash installed?
Safari Version 7.0.4 (9537.76.4)

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Custom TOC and player controls

I would like to customize the entire player and TOC navigation for my captivate project.
For example, I would love to have my clients logo above the TOC and create a custom look and feel to the entire experience. Example I would model the design after: http://www.articulate.com/community/showcase/?page_id=96
Can you elaborate on the steps I need to take to create a custom look and feel to the navigation and player? Is there detailed documentation I can read on this subject? My friend can write the custom actionscript, I'm just not sure the general overview of the process. When I export the captivate files to Flash CS3, I do not see the TOC or player files?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, I don't think you can customise the TOC much beyond the colour controls given in the navigation settings. However, you can access the Playbar FLA's (sources) in Captivate 4, they're located in the Captivate 4 directory under "FLA/Playback" I believe. (or something similar.)
It is important to note however, that this is rather limited in what you can do in terms of customising the playbar. You can make new buttons, give them a different look and feel and change colours, but beyond that, you can't really do much with their layout, as Captivate either wants them in a tiny little center aligned area, or stretched horizontally across the screen depending on what you choose in the 'skin' navigation settings.
I ended up writing some AS code that would override the button positions, and gave them custom X values to place them in different places on the screen. However it never really worked entirely too well, as I wanted a custom width playbar, and I couldn't get it looking right.
In the end I just decided to make my own playbar in Flash, and import it as a widget. This shouldn't be too hard for your friend if he has a reasonable amount of AS experience. Best place to start is to have a look at the perpetual buttons widget that is provided with Captivate 4. I essentially just built upon that one to add more buttons and functionality that comes from the captivate toolbar.
You can check out the variables you need here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/05/list_of_system_variables_in_cp.html
It will then just be a matter of making code to make the buttons do what you want by calling/assigning those variables. The hardest part is making a custom playbar, but you can choose to use the Captivate one for ease sake if you want to go that option as well.
Hope that helps!

Flash CS5 and updating to flash 10.3 and AIR 2.7

Hi, I have a simple question, but for the life of me I can't work out how to solve it.
I'm currently running Adobe Flash Professional CS5, and would like to update it to utilize some of the features in AIR 2.7 and Flash 10.3 / Flash 10.2. How do I do this?
I encountered a similar problem a ways back when AIR 2 was being released, and I had to resort to ultimately "overlay" the existing installations. I've looked around and found some similar third party resources pertaining to the latest updates, but I've failed to get them to work - some instructions for adding in 10.3 as a build target compile, but they don't seem to be running in 10.3, or the debug player is not running in 10.3.
Am I missing something really obvious? I'd think that when a major release is made, it should be straightforward to update your version of CSx to target that release, but it's anything but. I found the release notes for Flash 10.3(http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/901/cpsid_90194.html#main_authoring), and under authoring it says:
"Developers can access new APIs in the Flash Player 10.3 by making manual changes to their existing SDK/tooling configuration. To learn more about the new APIs, read the online ActionScript 3 reference documentation. Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, Flash Builder 4.5, and Flex SDK 4.5 will not be updated for the new runtime."
Where can I find the manual changes required? And why do these releases require manual overlaying anyway?

Thanks for the reply.
After alot of messing around I managed to get Flash professional to have 10.3 as a target, and also managed to get a 10.3 version of the debugger to run when you select Debug Movie(Running Test Movie, which is what I usually do, still uses the original 10.1 player, and I can't find out how to update it). I'm not sure if it's buggy or I've done it wrong, because when targeting it to 10.3 and running my application through the 10.3 debugger, I seem to be loosing frame labels in some of my movie clips, getting an error:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label off not found in scene off
This is odd, because
a) I don't get said error when running with Test Movie which uses a 10.1 version of the player, and I never had it before with other versions. The symbol triggering the error clearly has a frame labeled off
b) There is no scene off in my project, I only have one scene which was the default, and it's called Scene 1.
Doing some traces, it turns out that the object is not having it's frame labels read in the 10.3 player, which is very odd and indicates to me some kind of bug or incorrect installation, but since I get the exact same error running it under the 10.3 projector, I'm inclined to think bug .
With regards to AIR 2.7, why do we need CS5.5 to use it?

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

Seems a common problem.
What OS are you using, Windows 8 64 bit or something? Win 8 has an embedded Flash Player on it, and I have been told here that if this is the case, installing a new version of Flash Player is not necessary, but Fire Fox needs the plug in. They came out with a Flash Player plug in for use with Fire Fox that includes a debugger, but I have not tried it yet. (see below).
I have tried installing Flash Player 11.8.800.994 and 11.7.70.224...... and all crash. I think maybe some anti virus software needs to be disabled to allow installation, or the anti virus thinks its malware. I am also not sure if I need to also install Shockwave Flash for the whole thing to work?
Not sure the following will help and I am about to try it because I am going round in circles, too.
If 11.7 extended support release works for you, would you please update your success by adding a reply at the bottom of your original post, and let us know what you did that worked?
Good luck!

How to disable adobe flash in chrome and use windows adobe X

I keep getting "shockwave flash has crashed" and was told to disable flash player in chrome, but when I do that, videos won't play. I DO have Adobe X installed but chrome won't use it. However, just having it seems to cause a conflict. I have Windows 7 office and Adobe flash player 17 Active X. thanks.

I'm loading CS5 (upgraded from CS3). It's the computer OS that I've had to remove it from before - and it doesn't appear in the Startup folder, unlike in Windows XP's system. (Or in the Control Panel, although there is a "Color Management" folder that lists color profiles I've downloaded from Epson when I downloaded my printer drivers for Windows 7).
So I guess Windows 7 doesn't include it, and I am free to do my calibration. Adobe's tech support phone line is closed for the weekend so I am turning to you forum experts. There must be someone out there who has encountered this in setting up a new computer system and loading PS onto it. Thanks for the input from both you and John.

My flash got unistalled and I can not find out how to reinstall it

My flash got unistalled and I can not find out how to reinstall itall it keeps telling me is thatit is already installed on windows 8 and have spent hours to try and fix it with no luck

Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 and 8.1 is embedded by Microsoft, and without removing several unique registry keys, and one specific Windows Update KB Patch, it cannot be uninstalled.
I seriously doubt you, or anything on your system, did all that, so it IS still installed.
If you're one of the unlucky souls who updated to IE11, your problems stem from the browser, NOT the Flash Player plugin.
Microsoft really did a number on the code for IE11, and pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash memory 5GB mp3 player..to Creative Managament.

I was hoping that Creative would come up with a Flash Memory Base 5GB or more mp3 player...
I got my first Creative Nomad II mp3 player with a 64MB MMC way back long ago and this year a got my self the Creative Media Player with 20GB harddri've.
Knowing that you are using a Flash memory base unit feels more reassuring, even if you are running or jogging, you are not putting the unit into a lot of mechanical stress that could be damage like that of harddisk base unit.
I travel a lot but my Creative Media Center proves to be very bulky (for me at least). I am more into MP3 music and audiobooks, so i need a lot of memory from a small/compact player at the same time the unit should be robust enough to face the toughest usage.
Anyone who supports that idea Creative should come up with a 5GB or more Flash Memory Base mp3 player. please....... I hope a lot would be willing to pay for the price of a higher GB's.. I would!
Thanks and more power to Creative.
By the way.. my Creative Nomad is still functional though i selldom used it anymore because of limited capacity....sure do loved it all the time...
