Flash, OpenType and Contextual Alternatives

Newbie to the forums. Hope someone can help. We recently procured an OpenType font. This font has some radical differences between the Standard Ligature Set and the Contextual Alternatives. Accessing these various versions is done thru the OpenType menu in the character panes in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Unfortunately, there is no OpenType manipulation in Flash CS4 - or is there? This font is showing up in Flash in the Contextual Alternative and there doesn't seem to be a way to access the Standard Ligature version.
Has anyone ever run into this issue with other OpenType fonts and how did you resolve it? Is my only recourse to get the PS or TT version instead?

the issue is already reported here:

HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
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.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

MacBook Air is just flashing on and off but not working after trying updates

This morning I got notification that I was supposed to update my MacBook Air with both update for iTunes and update for Firefox.
I hit yes to both.
Now I am just getting a constant flashing on and off and blank screen alternating with brief picture of the Apple with bar underneath it.
Have turned on and off several times and still won't work.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I don't think that the iTunes and Firefox updates could do this, but it looks like the logic board is damaged. What happens when you press Shift key while your Mac is starting?

Hello,
Flash Player is not supported on Windows Phone. At this time, there are no plans to support Windows Phone. I am not aware of alternatives on Windows Phone OS for viewing Flash content.

Flash Builder and Adobe AIR update framework

Hi,
I posted this in AIR forum , but thought it happens with new flash builder and flex 4 beta , i should do here also
When I run the Air update framework with the new flash builder , i get this exception when I call appUpdater.initialize() in the same given in http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetails&product Id=4&postId=9543
The error is
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.

The code is the exact same given in the updater example i mentioned in the link above. Only difference is i am using spark framework. The appUpater.initialize() never seem to work and keeps throwing an exception. Any alternatives so suggestions ?
This works fine in my Flex Builder 3.
Thanks

Flash Player and .SWF

I am a new upcoming Web Designer. I created two web pages for
my web site, in Adobe Flash Pro CS3, and I published it for HTML
view. I upload it to the server the page would play but when I'd go
to click on the buttons that would link to the other pages of my
website, it would not go in. So at first my first thought that
there might have been some actionscript issue going on with the
flash buttons. But when I went to the original .FLA file on the
buttons it worked fine for the folder that it was in, so I figured
let me re-route these buttons to the actual website using the
website and its directory for the buttons to link. Still did not
work, as a matter of fact when I re-checked it again using the
browser this message box open up with this error message:"Adobe
Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operations the
following local application on your computer or network:
C:\AD%20Creative%20Media%20&%20Designs\index.swf is trying to
communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
www.andersondominique.com To let this application communicate with
the Internet, Click Settings. You must restart the application
after changing your settings." So I did clicked on the settings
button, which lead me to the this website but on a different page.
I changed the security settings like it asked me to for at least
100 times today, and I am not getting a different result. Can
somebody please help me! I really need to get this website up and
running properly its for me to get a job. Im desperate! If anyone
out there is familiar with this problem please answer me or better
yet email me at: [email protected] THANK YOU!

We've recently made a number of security-related changes to how UNC paths are handled in Flash Player, and in addition, have restricted some network requests from being made for locally-executed SWFs running with local-with-filesystem permissions. These changes were necessary, as we found ourselves on the wrong side of a confluence of both old and emerging standards and conventions, and a very forgiving approaches to incorrectly constructed URLs in most major browsers.
Where we could, we added good debugging messages, so installing a an ActionScript debugger version of Flash and running the application might provide you with some useful clues; however, as complexity increases, I'm not convinced that using Flash Player to execute SWFs locally in the browser is going to be smooth sailing, and I anticipate that we'll see additional churn as we evaluate and align with the expectations of the modern web in this regard.
The good news is that we have Adobe AIR, which is designed to make it really easy to port your Flash Content, and it's specifically designed to build desktop applications, free from the complexity of browser plug-ins. As a least-cost, long-term strategy, I'd strongly encourage you to evaluate porting your SWF over to AIR. It may be as easy as just changing the publishing target in a current version of Flash Professional and distributing your application as an AIR payload instead.
Alternatively, you could stand up a local webserver and host both the content and the SWF. The really hairy edge-cases stem from the fact that we're trying to support HTTP and UNC paths simultaneously. If you're using HTTP, things are much, much more straightforward.
If you can narrow it down to the failing ActionScript call, I might be able to give you a more specific suggestion for a workaround.

Ongoing problem with flash player and FF..cannot install adobe Flash 11 with FF 16

I have tried everything.
I cannot install any Adobe flash product
I was using Flash 10 and suddenly it stopped working.
this happened before..several times in fact.
I delete and re install but this tim it still crashed.
so I decided to try Flash 11... windows 8 won't even let me run the installer.
when I try to install it as a FF plug in it fails.
sends me to do it manually.
manually means using the installer program which Windows 8 won,t let me run
I am stuck.
Is there an alternative to adobe flash player?
because I am tired of this.
if there is no alternative, then I will fins another browser.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Flash player and Mac os X incompatibilities

Is there anyone having problems wiht this new Mac Os X/Flash Player updates??
I have the latest version of Mac Os X (10.7.4) and the latest flash player version but it keeps saying to update to newest version. That happens when i'm trying to use google maps in streetview mode (for example), and when i log on to facebook account my main page is just blank. Can anyone please help???? Thanks for the support.

I'm using 10.7.4 with the latest Flash installed and have no problems using Google Maps in street view. Perhaps you need to try repairing the hard drive then reinstalling the update using the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) updater.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
If that isn't helpful, then reinstall Lion:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
After reinstalling Lion you can then reinstall the 10.7.4 combo update.

Flash text and flash buttons in DW CS4

Hi,
I have installed DW CS4 on my pc with Vista Home Premium 64
Bit...I have edit my website homepage and I have discovered that I
can't edit all flash text and buttons that I have created with DW
CS3! I have see that the adobe has removed from CS4 version this
option! So, now how I can resolve this problem??
I have try to install also the CS3 version but I don't
understand because I can't no more activated it from internet or
phone option!
I'm very angry for this, now I have to recreate from the
begin all flash text and buttons of my website with other software?
perhaps to buy also the Flash CS4 version for the solution? is this
the new idea of adobe with their new CS4 version?

It was a poor choice on Adobe's part to ever include such an
option, and on
your part for using it. Think about it -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's almost always a very bad idea for these reasons.
The solution is to make graphics to replace the Flash
elements, or just use
CSS styled text.

There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote.

Problem with accordion widget flashing open and shut when page loads

why is it that my accordion widget flashes open and shut when the page is loading (see http://vincentballmusewebsite2013test.businesscatalyst.com/digital-illustration.html#.UVDr Ehx7JyII) have tried everything to solve this, and Adobes customer service is terrible they don't get back to you when they say they will.
Please help me someone,
Thanks

Thank you Zak for your help, I spent 5 hours going round in circles trying to fix that problem and that's all I needed to hear, a bit of honesty and integrity.and yes, Adobes terrible customer service has still not got back to after promising 2 level technical support to contact me last Monday, I wish there'd keep their promise
Pamela, did you try my test website or my own website and if so my own has now no accordion widget on it and my test website may need you to try loading a few times to see if it really works or not, sometimes it does actually work even on a pc but most times not.
thanks for you help too.
