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 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.

  • Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

    Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

    Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services.  (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.)  If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
    Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature.  Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    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!):

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is my Asus tablet no longer support for using Flash Player?

    I just bought an Asus Transformer TF300T (OS Andriod 4.0.3) two weeks ago.  It came with Flash Player 11.1 pre-installed.  I noticed whenever I would try and play some of my games that require Flash, my browser would close.  I wouldn't get any kind of error message or anything.  I just saw the artricle today regarding Adobe Flash Player and mobile devices and the lack of support after 8/15/2012.  I checked the list of certified devices and my model number isn't listed.  I don't know if I would have better luck installing a previous version of Flash Player, or if I'm just out of luck.  Any ideas what I can do?

              -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.

  • PowerPc no longer supported?

    I have an iBook G4 10.5.8 Mac OS X, 1.33 GHz. Until today my flash player was working just fine, but after trying to watch a video it asked me to upgrade to the newest flash player. I uninstatlled my old flash, installed the new one only to see that PowerPcs are no longer supported. Great. I tried to install an earlier flash player but websites like youtube won't run off the earlier flash players. Am I just screwed in this situation? Or is there another solution I'm not seeing?

    I also suspect the same problem. I am using MacG5 system 10.4 and constrained from later system versions by the Power PC chip. The latest Adobe version 1,1,102,55 appears to require the Intel chip. Youtube demand the latest version. Seems I am screwed also. Does  the solution lie with u tube? Nice to get an answer.

    Gordon, it looks like its been a while since you made this post.  Not sure how valid it is now...   I am particularly interested in the LigatureLevel.NONE value.  It seems that it is no longer supported.
    How do I turn of ligatures in the font rendering?
    My flex project involves trying to match the font rendering of Apache's Batik rendering of SVG and ligatures have been turned off in that codebase.  Is there any way (even roundabout) to turn ligatures off in flash?
    Thanks,

    PPC, also known as PowerPC has not existed on Macs since the beginning of 2006.  Apple made a bridge software and included it with Mac OSes until 10.6.8 known as Rosetta that would allow you to run software written for the PowerPC Macs.  10.7 and later can't run that bridge software.  You have one of several options:
    Install 10.6 retail on a USB Flash drive, and run that application while booted from there.
    Find an update designed for 10.7 or later of the software. 
    Find a combination of Virtualbox or Paralllels that can legally run a version of 10.6 side by side with your 10.7 software.
    Run Windows on your Mac with Virtualbox or use CrossOver that requires no Windows to run a Windows version of your application.
    Your Mac is an iMac Intel.   I will ask a moderator redirect your thread to the 10.7 forum, and no action is needed on your part.

  • You can't open the application "TeacherWorks" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

    When I try to open an application I get this message: You can’t open the application “TeacherWorks” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I updated my MacBook Pro to Mavericks a month ago. So I do not know what is going on. I am not good with computeres, so please if you will try to help me, please be very simple.
    Thank you

    There isn't really a simple answer to your dilemma.
    You have discovered that there is older software that will no longer work on OS X Mavericks.
    Your version of TeacherWorks was programmed to run on much older non-Intel, PowerPC style Macs that were discontinued around 2005-2006.
    If your Mac was running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard previously, Snow Leopard had a special emulator software, called Rosetta,  that emulated older PowerPC hardware to allow this software to function.
    This Rosetta emulator software got deleted/obsoleted from OS X with the introduction of OS X 10.7 Lion.
    So, this software will no longer function.
    The alternatives is to see if there are newer updates of this software that needs to be downloaded and installed.
    OR if this software no longer exists or is no longer being updated, then you need to search for and seek out alternatives that are similar in features to this software.
    There is a way to get your existing TeacherWorks software to work on Mavericks, but it gets involves using a special virtualization software like Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion or the free, open source virtualization software called virtual box to install OS X Snow. Leopard Server within the virtualization software.
    You purchase, download and install this virtualization software.
    And you need to call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE to see if you can still purchase copies of OS X Snow Leopard Server.
    Once you have OS X Snow Leopard Server installed and you launch it, you can, once more, install your existing TeacherWorks software.
    This is the only way to run this type of older software in OS X Mavericks.
    If this is too complicated for you, if you made a backup of your previous system setup and data, all you have to so is revert to your previous system,
    If you have no backup of your system or data, you need to backup, at least, your important data by either burning CDs/DVDs, copy this data to high capacity USB Flash Drives or backup to an externally connected hard drive.
    Then, you need to do a complete clean install of your previous OS X version from disc, redormat the hard drive which will completely wipe your hard drive of data! and reinstall your previous OS, all of your applications and then restore all of your data.
    There is no other way to do this if you have no viable backup.
