Flash object persisting after container window closed

We have a web application with serves a SWF object inside of a JSP page. The JSP, in turn, is served up as a modal window as the content of an iframe hosted inside of a container DIV. Our problem is this: in Safari 5, when you dismiss the modal, the window clears but the flash object remains on screen.
However, if you were to trigger a new modal window, the flash object that was persisted on screen is replaced with new content.
I curious to know if anyone else has encountered a similar problem.

now that u say it, it would have made more sense to put the message in a different forum. I'm new to all this and just cause i'm using jdev, i straight away thought of this forum. silly me!
in answer to ur question there are no messages. when i run the app and put the cursor over where the flash should be, u can see the outline of the box and thats it.
i just cant understand why its not working when all appears to be as it should and i know it worked previously. but then again i am new to this and its most likely something stupid i'm doing...

Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

Hi All!
I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites). I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon. I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively. I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                        NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                        PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin?
My second question regards the installation of Flash. I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do. Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved. Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem? If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
Well, that's all the new info I have. I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed! I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's my previous post:
Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
Hi!
I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
My attempts to resolve the problem were:
1. Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
2. Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
3. Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
4. Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
5. Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
6. Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
7. Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
8. Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
     same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen. Even
     though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
     thought I should mention it).
9. I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
     for 2 sites.
I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are:
                                    http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                    http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha). I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate! I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer. If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal
P.S. I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is! (I told you I'm clueless!)

I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1. It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7. It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

IE locks out after applet window closed

I am using an applet which communicates with the server through RMI.
I am launching a browser window with my applet in it from a secure socket layer server.
When I close this window IE locks out but Netscape doesn't.
I tried overriding Applet.destroy() in order to dispose() any windows which I make using the browser frame and which might still be hanging around.
I notice that Netscape calls Applet.destroy() but IE doesn't or does not get that far.
Please can anyone tell me if I am on the right track and/or what I might try to fix this lockout.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
I have a similar problem. From watching he trace file of the Java plug-in, IE 5.50.4134.0600 is calling the STOP, DESTROY, DISPOSE, and QUIT applet events all together. It doesn't wait for the applet.stop and applet.distroy functions to finish. My applet saves the user settings in serialized objects and sends it to the server to be saved in the database. If this process finishes before the shutdown of IE, it goes through to the server. Unfortunately, it's not always that fast.
My applet is not signed. That means that any restricted call in applet.stop() and applet.distroy() will be restricted because they are not called from inside the sand box. I read somewhere that signing the applet will solve this. However, Is that the cause of my problem?
Thanks,
BYTTNerd

HT1338 MacBook now takes 1 minute to go to sleep after all windows closed, any help to return it to normal

MacBook now takes >1 minute to go to sleep after all applications are closed. Need help in returning it to the normal 10 sec for sleep

First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

Getting the object id after persisting

Is there an easy way of getting the object id after using the persist method? I tried the following code piece but it didn't work. Do I have to run a query? I'm new to JPA and waiting for your suggestions. Thanks..
Bill b = new Bill(); .... .... entityManager.persist(b); int id = b.getId()

I tried flushing and refreshing the entity but got an EntityNotFoundException.
Bill b = new Bill();
entityManager.persist(b);
entityManager.flush();
entityManager.refresh(b); // Here where the exception is thrown
int id = b.getId();When I try without refresh, it still get no id

Dispose objects during window closing

I use vb to call java application through batch file (.bat) to connect to another java app to send message. Since the java application is executing in command prompt window, if the window accidentally closed, is it possible to close the connection, terminate loop, dispose objects properly during window closing? most importantly, the program at the other side knows the the connection is closed and message stop sending by the java app? Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Does your app have a fixed main window from where you launch other windows? If so, don't call System.exit(0) in windowClosing event for any of those windows except the main window and it would solve your problem.
Otherwise you would need to somehow keep track of all the open windows in your application and in the windowClosing method you would check to see how many windows are open currently. If the window being closed is the only window open at that time, call System.exit(0). Else don't call it.
Hope this helps.

Flash Object has no Publisher or Version in IE11 in Windows 8.1

Hello, I have been trying to get flash player to work, and have tried several avenues in Windows 8.1. I have tried enabling Shockwave Flash, tried disabling ActiveX Filtering, re-register the flash.ocx file, resetting IE11, and disabling/re-enabling IE11. Nothing has provided any help with this, but what I believe to be the issue is that the shockwave flash object literally has no information attached to it. No publisher, no version number.
Whenever I try to update internet explorer 8.1 64bit it says its up to date.
Header 1
Header 2
Whenever I try to update internet explorer 8.1 64bit it says its up to date.
Another adobe flash help page tells me I have flash preinstalled, and that it is just disabled.
Basically this is all the conclusive information I've gathered. I am trying to find a way to update the flash object, but downloading flash player for windows 8 says I have it preinstalled, and I don't know whether deleting the flash.ocx file is a good idea. If anyone has had these issues or feels knowledgeable about what could be going on that needs to be fixed, please let me know. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Preston,
Firstly, you don't want to delete flash.ocx. Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE, flash.ocx is locked and you can't delete it unless you mess with the permissions, and doing so will render you unable to resinstall IE to get Flash Player back, short of re-installing Windows (or resetting to factory settings, depending on the system you have).
If you've performed all of the suggested troubleshooting steps and Flash content is still not displaying appropriately in IE, it could be that Microsoft is not identifying the browser as IE in the user agent string, which many websites use to determine which browser is in use and display the content based on the browser. Microsoft is continuously modifying the user agent string for IE and websites need to adjust how they identify the browser based on other features, not the user agent string. As a test, using IE, go to What's My User Agent? and post the results here.

If the flash object is placed in 0px div, the creationComplete event is fired after a long wait time

<Problem>
My requirement is to hide flash object on browser. However, If the flash object is placed in 0px div, the creationComplete event is fired after a long wait time. Is this a bug of Flex? (or Flash Player?)
<Sample Code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
          initialize="app_initialize(event);" creationComplete="app_creationComplete(event);" >
<mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
        import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    private function app_initialize(evt:mx.events.FlexEvent):void
              ExternalInterface.call("alert", "application initialize.");
    private function app_creationComplete(evt:mx.events.FlexEvent):void
              ExternalInterface.call("alert", "application creation complete.");
    private function button_creationComplete(evt:mx.events.FlexEvent):void
              ExternalInterface.call("alert", "button creation complete.");
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Button id="testButton" label="button" creationComplete="button_creationComplete(event);"/>
</mx:Application>
<Steps to reproduce>
1) Dowload the following samples
MySwf-src.zip
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/c6b7a191-c6c4-486f-9345-e2b5c21a4c0b
TestSwf.zip
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/98e613e1-63b1-4b2f-93f3-f6e4f4a27f24
2) Unzip TestSwf.zip.
3) Copy MySwf.swf, TestInvisible.html, and TestVisible.html to "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\". (Need to install the IIS.)
4) Visit "http://localhost/TestVisible.html" via IE. notice the creationComplete event fired after initialize event immediately. -- Correct
5) Visit "http://localhost/TestInvisible.html" via IE. notice the creationComplete event fired a long time after initialize event. -- Incorrect
<Environment>
Win8.1x64+IIS8.5+IE11+Flash player(13.0.0.182)
<Note>
If the flash object is placed in 1px or larger div, the creationComplete event is fired immediately.
The problem occurs with other browsers(IE9,IE10,FF,Chrome) too.

Thank you for your response. The computers are indeed running Flash Pro CC 13.1.0.226. I tried to generate a minidump file on four different computers where Flash Pro hung, but was not able to do so on any of them as Flash Pro makes the entire system unresponsive. I get the spinning circle cursor and then the GUI of all apps greys out and fails to update. I don't actually get any sort of error message; everything simply stops responding.
I was probably unclear above; even if I can alt-tab I can't really interact with any other programs once Flash Pro hangs beyond one or two mouse clicks. So on some computers I could right-click on the process in Process Explorer and choose to create a minidump, which then froze, or I might right-click on the process and have it immediatly freeze. I've experienced about two dozen crashes and I've never been able to really use another program or even kill the Flash process in task manager. I also have to power off the computer by holding down the power button, since while I might be able to open the Start menu I can't reach the point of being able to shut it down without it freezing.
From what I was able to see in Process Explorer, Flash Pro was using <1% CPU and 120M private / 170M working memory.

Backward compatibility of MS Flash object in Windows 8

I have a case opened with Microsoft from Pfizer, Inc and need a case open with Adobe so that the MS engineers can communicate with Adobe within non-disclosure constraints.
What MS needs from Adobe are debugging information the don't have in order to resolve the issue in their Win8 Flash object (15x). MS will need to share with Adobe details and data that belong to Pfizer hence need to open that channel for those purposes and for MS to request technical information from Adobe.
My MS case number is 114111712050982 so that you have that information and can share email addresses and phone numbers privately with Flash technical support.
I have picked the best fit I could find for a community

As a general rule, we'd highly recommend that everyone move from fscommand to ExternalInterface. It's a superior replacement and eliminates some of the weird quirks that fscommand has. In your situation, changes to IE11 caused backwards compatibility problems with fscommand, but ExternalInterface is unaffected. We have some work in the pipeline to address the issue on IE11, but it has the potential to break existing content on configs that currently work, so we're trying to be really methodical about providing public pre-releases and soliciting feedback. In 2014, the only high-traffic content that really uses fscommand are old enterprise applications, so it's hard for us to collect feedback or gauge the impact directly by looking at popular sites.
We just handed a build off with the proposed fscommand changes to Microsoft for inclusion in the next Windows 10 technical preview. We were soliciting feedback on any related fallout for Windows 7 users on our beta channel (http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta); however, there's not a good way to provide a beta build for Windows 8 since Flash Player is a built-in component of IE. We're working with Microsoft to establish a beta program for Flash Player in IE on Win8+. If you have access to the Win10 Technical Preview builds, we'd encourage you to test any of your legacy systems that require Flash and give us feedback once the next update is available.
The fact that introducing a proxy solves the problem intermittently is interesting. I guess it could be some internal timing, or it might be that the proxy is masking a cross-domain policy issue or an SSL negotiation problem. Have you guys tried with a Debugger version of Flash Player? You might get some useful feedback, particularly if it's a policy file thing.
Adobe Flash Player - Downloads
Configure the debugger version of Flash Player
You can turn on policy file logging by adding these to your mm.cfg. They'll get logged to flashlog.txt:
PolicyFileLog=1 # Enables policy file logging
PolicyFileLogAppend=1 # Optional; do not clear log at startup

[S] Firefox hangs on KDE install after all windows and tabs are closed

When I launch Firefox from KDE, the process hangs around consuming ~70-100% CPU of at least one core after closing all windows and tabs. We have to kill the process manually or say File->Quit and issue the real exit command instead of just closing all tabs. I ran strace and found that Firefox is poll()ing something as fast as it can after all windows are destroyed, causing the CPU increase. Anyone know how I can fix this? I've already tried a different profile and pacman -Rnd to no effect.

I've solved this by removing gtk-qt-engine; without gtk-qt-engine, firefox behaves as expected.

DW CS4: How to play a Flash Movie in a NEW window after clicking a link or a button on a page?

Hi, using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, I would like to have a link or a button on a webpage that when clicked will play a Flash Movie in a new window.
Using the 'Insert Panel' > Media: FLV I managed to insert the .flv file on the page, but the movie plays 'in line' instead of in a new window. So far I can't find any 'Properties' or settings to change this behaviour. E.g. like Target _blank for opening e.g. a .pdf in a new Window.
> Please help.
Thank you!

Try using one of the popular javascript methods for this. I use shadowbox and you can find examples, info and a download here: http://www.shadowbox-js.com
