Flash no longer supported by adobe in near future?

Ls,
I am using the trial for flash cs5.5 and air.
2 questions:
1- I just read that flash player will not be supported on the ipads and that adobe is maybe going html 5.5 instead of flash.
Does this mean I will not be able to deploy my apps to the apple platform? Or is that just for the flash player part.
2- I want to buy flash cs5.5, preferrably using the monthly subscription.
Is there a payment option that actually makes me own the product after X payments? Or is it all on a lease basis.
Buying it all at once for 3200 euros if its not beeing persued by adobe in the near future seems steep.
But just paying monthly forever seems just as steep if there's no end to it.
I couldnt find a clear answer on their website.
Highest regards,
Mac

As far as I have heard/read, there has been nothing indiicated by Adobe that Flash will no longer be supported by them in the near future.  So far there just seem to be alot of people that are misreading the articles that have come out.
1.  Flash player has never been supported on the iStuff.  Apparently that is not going to change.  The recent articles by non-Adobe writers say that Adobe will no longer be pursuing development for the Flash player on any mobile devices.  That is supposedly just for the Flash Player, and just for mobile devices.
2.  You should contact customer support.  I don't think they have a rent-to-own option... as far as I understand, when you rent you are kept updated on the latest versions released, so if CS6 came out tomorrow, you're already in the lineup to get upgraded to it.  The best people to ask are the ones that sell it.

  • Life keying no longer supported by Adobe?

    I am looking for software that provides life chroma keying for a Flash based videobroadcasting. Currently an IEEE 1394 connected video source is streamed by FMLE.
    CS3 Ultra obviously had life keying capability, but it is no longer available.
    Can anybody recommend  a software, hardware or appliance that provides life keying for blue box / green box applications?

  • Adobe Configurator and deprecated Flash-based panel support in Adobe CC products

    Does Configurator 4.0 (or Configurator 3) support the creation of HTML5-based panels?
    I received the following email from Adobe: 
    Photoshop CC, starting in the middle of 2014, will remove support for Flash-based extensions. All other Creative Cloud products have already marked Flash-based panel support as deprecated at this time, meaning no future enhancements or bug fixes will be coming for Flash-based extensions.
    The current version of Photoshop CC already includes support for a new type of HTML5 based panel. We are currently working on a new version of Adobe Extension Builder designed specifically to support the creation of these HTML5 based panels.  You can download a free preview here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/extensionbuilder3/.
    Details about developing HTML5 extensions for Photoshop as well as for other Creative Cloud products are available in the Extension Builder pre-release program here: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=6V6IgvE0yLQQ7bgadxNXaw .   You can also join the Photoshop developers' prerelease program for details specific to Photoshop.  If you're interested, please let me know and I will get you setup.
    Will the panels created by Configurator 4.0 work in PS CC after the middle of 2014 when support for Flash-based extensions is removed from Photoshop CC?  For that matter, will the panels created in Configurator 3.0 work in PS CC after the middle of 2014?

    I've carefully read all the posts here and would like to give my feedback on the whole question. I'm a professional retoucher and a teacher as well, and during my professional carrer I've built dozens of panels.
    I do really take advantage of boosting my productivity with any customized panel, as automation is something that adds speed, reliability and dramatically reduce errors during repetitive tasks. Therefore, I can't live without it.
    Now, I  understand why Adobe wants to move towards HTML 5, but please give us the ability to keep our work at the same level of efficiency we currently have. Photoshop is not for amateurs, it's a professional software. And professionals must keep their productivity, for sure they can't afford any loss of it, especially in these times!
    Moving from Flash to HTML 5  means rebuilding all the existing panels from scratch: how much this will cost to us in terms of time (and money) if we could have an HTML 5 version of Configurator? And how much, if we don't have a tool like Configurator at all? Three times, ten times as much? Maybe Adobe knows the answer, not me, I'm not a coder. But I'd like to know this answer.
    Further, picture this: I've taught several classes for at least  five intercontinental companies on how to build actions and organize them into panels for improving their productivity. Every time the response was the same: BOOM!
    They had a huge speed improvement in their daily workflows, and started to build dozens of panels by themselves for any possibile use. It was like opening a Pandora's box for them (their words).
    Every one who attended my classes, have taught the same topic inside their company and the reaction was always the same. So now, in every company in which I've taught building panels and actions, there are hundreds of panels for many different uses, all over the world. Of course, as 100% of them were specifically built for internal use, they shared the panels among them, but not outside their company.
    Many of them who are now mid-advanced users, have written to me asking how they could keep their panels working correctly in the next CC version of Photoshop. I have no solution for them, unless many of them become coders. That's a bad answer, I must admit, but no way out right now.
    Their reply to me was very straight: "well, we won't upgrade any copy of Photoshop until we can keep our panels working correctly for sure. For us is much more important being productive and efficient than upgrading to the latest version, if this means to lower our performance, no doubt."
    Adobe wanted to integrate all their softwares into the Creative Cloud. So far so good, I'm for it. But when you decide to integrate everything saying to the world that "it's for the sake of a better productivity", then you must really integrate them. Otherwise people will think that it was only a commercial move. So why we can't build panels for the applications inside Muse, for example? It was introduced to allow people to build  websites quickly and efficiently using HTML 5, taking care about the layout instead of investing too much time in coding.
    Exactly what Configurator allowed to do. Focus on the result with minimal time cost, aka money cost.
    World is running faster, therefore we need to work faster too. And without Configurator we won't. I can't disagree with all the people that won't upgrade Photoshop, if this means that they'll work slower because they can't use their panels carefully made by themselves. Photoshop is a tool for producing ideas and other nice stuff, like any software. The faster it is, the most people will like it, the better will sold. A simple truth. Think about what happened to Apple Finalcut ProX and how many users switched to Premiere. Photoshop has no competitors except new versions of itself.
    And this does not apply only the CC users. Look at the bigger picture: how many users still using CS6 with all their fully working panels won't upgrade to CC if they know they'll reduce their productivity?
    Think about the answer. Carefully.

  • Older version of Dreamweaver no longer supported by Adobe?

    I have Dreamweaver MX2004 with valid licenses which are accepted, but when I try to activate the product it cannot be done online and the telephone numbers provided are no longer working. When I contacted Adobe they said 'Older versions are no longer supported, try the forums' Anybody help me with this?

    Adobe stopped their licensing servers for CS2 and below some time ago. And your product is not an Adobe product.
    Adobe released a series of serial numbers for their older products that should work:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html
    Be aware that your software is almost 10 years old. You may be well advised to upgrade to something that is more compliant with current web standards. I would mention that your version of Dreamweaver would work very well for doing HTML documents for email.

    That message means the addon needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest version, if that addon is essential, you can revert to a older version.

  • Flash no longer supported?

    Yesterday I was building some screensavers from Flash 5 movies. Today I can't.

    Surely that's what the MIME Settings are for? Having QuickTime available as a handler for swf files has caused issues for many people due to the default settings in previous versions. Personally, I'd rather that QuickTime didn't try to handle swf files at all unless I specify otherwise i.e using the qtsrc plug-in parameter.
    What we're talking about here is turning off Flash when that content has already been embedded as a track in a .mov file or where the QuickTime API is being used to handle Flash media and where it may an essential part of that file, such as navigation or a dynamic menu. Usually the Flash has been created specifically to be played by QuickTime. For instance, LiveStage has now lost the ability to handle Flash tracks, unless you manually turn it on in QT prefs.
    I'm a QuickTime developer and I'm facing some rather ugly decisions about how to handle this in my applications as this has destroyed the 'seamlessness' I have spent many hours working to create.
    There may be some security or political issue at work here, but I think there's a better solution than turning off Flash support at all levels for all users by default. At least presenting the user with a dialog when QuickTime encounters an embedded Flash track would have kept things working far better than they are now.

  • Flash Player 9 No Longer Supported

    As of February 8, 2011 Flash Player 9 is no longer supported. Adobe will no longer provide security updates for Flash Player 9 and recommends that all Flash Player users on supported systems upgrade to the most recent version of the player through the Flash Player Download Center.
    Details here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406791.html
    The latest version of Adobe FLASH player is 10.2.152.26
    New versions can be obtained from  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    It is advisable to use the UNinstaller (to remove older versions) before installing the new version: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
    Note: There us an ActiveX version for IE users, and a separate plug-in version for users of alternative browsers (Mozilla  Firefox, Opera, etc.).

    Hello,
    In another thread titled "Flash Player 9 crashes Internet
    Explorer 6"
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1236801&enterthread=y
    I described the exact same symptoms as yours.
    I too arrived at the same conclusion as you.
    I believe that since my Pentium II (200 mhz.) does not
    support MMX technology, then that explains why Flash Player 8 and
    newer always crash the first time I visit a webpage supporting
    Flash content.
    I am wondering if the reason Flash 8 and 9 get installed
    without alerting the user that their CPU does not support MMX is
    because there is no flag in the Windows configuration file to
    indicate that this is the case.
    If such a flag exists and is incorrectly set, then perhaps by
    changing it, then Flash Player would load with an alternate set of
    software routines to mimic the missing hardware instructions.
    I am trying to find out more about how the installation of
    Windows goes about detecting and advertising the presence or
    absence of MMX.

  • Adobe CS2 is no longer supported, so

    I downloaded the updated CS2 from the Adobe website. The instructions that came with it for uninstalling my existing CS2, which included Acrobat 7, included uninstalling Acrobat 7, so I did. When I reinstalled the new CS2 download, it did not include Acrobat 7. Is there a reason for this, or was this an error?

    Rave, to answer your question, my operating system is OS X 10.4.11.  All the other CS2 programs installed, but Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro was not included. To be clear, this all came about after my computer crashed and I had to transfer my hard drive to another used Power Mac G5 that I purchased as a replacement. After that I could not use the Creative Suite 2 that I already had because it "was no longer supported" by Adobe. I was forced then to download a CS2 replacement from Adobe. I went through all the uninstall instructions and procedures, then ran the install. It all installed, except for Acrobat 7 Professional which is nowhere to be found in my applications.  So how can I get it back?

  • How do I activate an old Photoshop CS that's no longer supported

    I have an old version of the Adobe CS (first generation) that's no longer supported by Adobe. I'm still using it on a desktop. But I just bought a new computer today and wanted to install this over to the new desktop. It prompts me to register that product but that link doesn't work anymore. I asked Adobe through the Chat line and was told they don't support this old serial number anymore. How do I activate an old Photoshop CS that's no longer supported? Anyone?

    Thanks. I installed Photoshop CS2 and ran the program. It prompts to me Register. After I did, it tells me Registration is Complete. But when I close the program and reopen it again, it prompts me again! If I click Do Not Register, the box disappears but then reappears again when I reopen the software!  It's quick annoying. But I guess if there's no way around it, I may have to live with it!
    I should start saving up for the next CS version....

  • How can I view the videos of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?

        How can I view the videos from the internet and networking of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Seem to have tried everything. i.e. chrome, firebird, archived flash players, etc. All not supported. Any insight??? It started when I tried to upgrade current flash player and it said I needed to uninstall current version, which I did, and then it wouldn't download the current one giving me the not supported story! Please help!!!!!!

    Hi Andy, that is correct, they don't support PPC Macs anymore.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,

    Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
    Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!

I can install this software. but I cant see any LIVE TV CHANNEL. EveryWhere flash player required. And i READ somewhere that in ADOBE FLASH PLAYER not SUPPORT in Samsung S2 Mobile. Sir plz SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
    SIR PLZ GIVE ME FEEDBACK...
              -THANK YOU SO MUCH...

    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

  • HT1338 Older Mac running Tiger 10.4.11. and Flash no longer works. Upgraded version installed and left me without any Flash support at all??

    I recently attempted to upload the latest FLASH PLAYER. My older Mac (G4) works wonderfully as a desktop computer, so I NEED a flash player
    badly, but now it says that Adobe no longer supports older Mac Power PCs! What's up with that?? Some of the best and most desirable computers
    ever made are of no interest to Adobe?
    I there a work-around to eliminate the need for Adobe's Flash Player?? Another Flash version......can you say Macromedia? HELP

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
    But possibly that only works with Leopard.

  • Adobe Flash =11.2 support

    Does anyone know of a well-supported method to use the Flash NPAPI plugin with Firefox (or a way to use Chrome's Pepper Flash plugin with FF)?
    So far I've looked into the following solutions:
    *Pipelight - it's a bit of a heavyweight/clumsy workaround and provides a lot of stuff I don't need.
    *Shumway - its support is lacking.
    *Lightspark - same as above.
    *Gnash - lacks AS3 support.
    Specifically, I need support for Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro (older), Adobe Connect (newer), Flowplayer, justin.tv, and AS3. Most of these do usually work with the existing flashplugin package, but I run into issues from time to time. At the moment I'm still using Chrome's Pepper Flash with Chromium.

    rainbowdashc wrote:(or a way to use Chrome's Pepper Flash plugin with FF)?
    I don't think there is one of these that consistently works. Flash needs to die it's long overdue death as it is anyways.
    Any reason why you want to use pepper-flash with FireFox over using Chrome/Chromium?

Maybe you are looking for
