Flash Player 10 Component player skins gone

Anyone know how to fix this issue? I installed flash player
10 this morning and now videos that had a component player skin on
them do not have them any longer.

We too have noticed a few new nasty parsing differences in the new 10.1.53.64 player. Not only with '<' and '>' but with other character entities (named, hex and decimal). From our analysis it appears that the new player parses CDATA differently than before. In our case we've found that we'll probably have to add '&' to every character entity by hooking into the XML object's 'onData' method.
Due to the volume of content we have changing the source content is out of the question.
As far as I can see the only bug that seems to be logged for this is: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5031
I would recommend going there and voting to have this addressed.
I wish Adobe would acknowledge the issue by either saying it was a purposeful change or a bug. My vote is that it's a bug.

Video Player Component using Flash Player 6

I'm streaming video using Flash Player 6. The problem I am
having is that the video will only play at a super small size,
something like 180 x 60 (that's a guess). Is there a way to play
the video at the 320 width that I redered it as?
I'm using Flash Player 6 because some code that came with my
purchased Flash Template does not work unless it's published to
Flash Plaey 6.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Melissa,
I might not be understanding the question right, but if you
are using Flash
Player 6, and the Flash Player 6 video player component, you
can resize the
video by resizing the component on the stage (just drag and
make it larger).
Let me know if that works for you.

Hi..
Assuming you are using Safari ...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Tracking via google analytics & Flash Video Player Component

Hi,
I'm trying to track when a user plays a video on our home
page. I'm using the standard Flash Video Player component and
Dreamweaver to hook it up. In order to get the player to call
Google analytics on play I think that I need the FLA for this
player but I can't seem to figure out how to access it. Any
suggestions?
Thanks

HTTP Live streaming test in Flash Player, HTML5 player, iphone, android and other smart phones.

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how can I play http live streaming from FMLE 3.2 to Flash player, iphone, ipdad, HTML5 player, Android and other devices?
I have tried my best to play live streaming usine FMLE 3.2 with help of "http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html" but not able to play video using HTTP.
When I tried to play url- "http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" even in in Strobe Media Player it was showing "Buffering" that's it. But I can play same RTMP URL in Flash AS3 using the netstream very fine.
Now I want to test the livepkgr content via HTTP to Flash Player, HTML5 Player (on Web browser and smartphones), iphone and other devices.
Thanks
Best regards,
Sunil Kumar

Hi Sunil,
It's difficult to debug an issue when you don't have access to the machine and you can't see what's happening, so I request you to please have a little patience.
For playback just check the following steps and make sure if you have followed them :
1) Delete the streams folder and any .stream file in the livepkgr
2) Restart FMS
3) Make sure you have a crossdomain.xml under root_install/webroot
4) Publish a stream from FMLE as 'livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent'
5) Use this player to playback the stream : http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/StrobeMediaPlayback.html?src=http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m
If there is no playback, here are some checks you can do :
1) Request for the http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m in your browser. You should receive an xml that looks something like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
     <manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
          <id>livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent</id>
                  <mimeType />
          <streamType>live</streamType>
          <duration>0</duration>
          <bootstrapInfo profile="named" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.bootstrap" id="bootstrap7158" />
          <media streamId="livestream" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream" bootstrapInfoId="bootstrap7158">
                      <metadata>AgAKb25NZXRhRGF0YQgAAAAAAAhkdXJhdGlvbgBAJUUeuFHrhQAFd2lkdGgAQHQAAAAAAA=</m etadata>
            </media>
</manifest>
2) Check the access log under Apache to see if the .f4m, .bootstrap and Frag files have been requested and delivered. If a particular entry has a status code of 200 then the file has been served by FMS. You can confirm the same on the client side using a software like fiddler.
Coming to the player issue, a playback of *f4v via the vod directive is a progressive download, whereas playback of an *f4m file via hds-vod is HTTP streaming.
I have personally used Spark VideoPlayer and hence suggested the same.
You need to add a component like :
<s:VideoPlayer width="100%" height="30%" chromeColor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000"
                 fontSize="12"
                 source="http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m"
                    symbolColor="#000000"/>
Let me know if any of these suggestions help.
Thanks,

I can't get the websites like youtube, facebook, etc to load. everything comes up as just text/words. i've downloaded adobe flash and real player on windows xp.

i have windows xp. i just got the computer and internet on it. i downloaded adobe flash and real player. but i still can't get sites like facebook and youtube to work. i always get popups that ask if its a trusted site and to add the exception, which i do. yahoo and msn work, i can see photos and pictures and images just fine, but facebook and youtube are still all just words and error messages. any suggestions besides what i've already tried? i'm not tech savvy so step by step is how i learn best!

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the <b>issuer of the certificate</b>.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

What are the distinctions between Adobe Flash Player & Shockwave Player & Shockwave Flash?

I find references to what seem to be three distinct things:
Adobe Flash Player
Shockwave Player
Shockwave Flash
Treatment of these things is interwoven and confusing:.
As an example, the Adobe Shockwave Player page at URL: http://www.adobe.com/products/shockwaveplayer/ provides a link to a page to test whether Shockwave Player is installed. That test, however, is the test to see whether Adobe Flash Player ins installed.
On my Mac running OS X 10.6.4 Firefox 8.0.1 has a Plug-In named Shockwave Flash 11.0.1.152.
Are these things indeed distinct? Is it likely that both (or all three) are needed on the same computer? The Adobe web site should clearly define the relationships at a high level of visibility.

Basically, the Flash player is just that: you can watch videos, but you can't interact with them.
To give it its full name, Shockwave For Director is primarily used for things like games, or demos where the user can interact with the animation.
The current version of the Shockwave (For Director) player is 11.6.3.633 while the current Flash player is 11.1.102.55

Problem purchasing Flash Lite 2 Player

Hi Adobe,
I'm from the Philippines, South East Asia and I want to
purchase a Flash Lite 2 Player. My Adobe ID also says that I'm from
the Philippines.
I went to Adobe Store - Asia Pacific (International). I
supplied the IMEI number, Handset and Phone Model. Upon clicking
Secure Checkout, it gives me this error message:
The account using [email protected] was registered for
Philippines. Please sign in using an existing account for this
country, or create a new account.
I dont think I did something wrong in the process. Why is the
Philippines not in the lists of Store Countries? Please help.
Thanks!
Jon

Sorry, I am not Adobe, Im jon in Japan, and I too have had
problems purchasing FlashLite2 from USA. I think you would need to
make a new account to purchase the FL2 BUT your address sets you up
as being in Philippines. It may be impossible for you to purchase
it Unless you contact usa adobe in the USA by phone.
The reason your country is not listed is because there are no
phones that accept FL2? If you DO have a phone that accepts FL2,
then it could be a licensing issue in the pacific region. I
recommend that you call USA adobe for this issue and explain to
them that you are a developer.

How to publish from Flash CC to player 10.1 or lower?

How to publish from Flash CC to player 10.1 or lower?
Just realised CC by default dont have such player as option to publish for... Problem is, that a lot of big ads publishers like google adwords doesnt allow swfs in player higher than 10.1... So basically i have a huge problem... Why Adobe has to be so ignorant towards the needs of their customers? "If you dont upgrade flash, you wont be able to open higher versions of .fla files", if you do upgrade, you wont be able to publish in lower players version"... You make my proffesional part of life miserable, you know that? :/ I bet most of flash usage is for ads, so why not checking what publishers demand and maybe consider not removing it from your software?
That just ruined my schedule and deadlines are collapsing on me. Thank you very much.

Hi,
If you open the swf file in text editor:
The first 8 bytes of any SWF file are not compressed, the rest of the file could be compressed (or not) by zlib compression.
1st byte: 'F' (not compressed) OR 'C' (compressed).
2nd byte: 'W' always.
3rd byte: 'S' always.
4th byte: version number (09 means this file is targeted at Flash Player 9 and so on...)
5th to 8th: Length of entire file in bytes
More details at actionscript 3 - How can I determine what flash player version a swf was published for? - Stack Overflow
Thanks!

Why not support Flash CC 2014 player 10.01 and older?

Hello, why not support Flash CC 2014 player 10.01 It should count on the fact that it will also create banners for Google. Install old version of CS6 is not a good way. Do something about it.
Google say: Important
Currently only AdWords Supports Adobe Flash Player versions 4 through 1.10 If your ad uses any other version (such as 10.2), it can not be uploaded.
What to do?
Balkovsky

Hi,
You may want to add the older player targets by following the steps described at Adding Flash Player 11 support to Flash Pro CS5 and CS5.5

FLV Player Component seemingly not working in Firefox

I've set up an swf where I have an FLV Player component on stage, pointing to an external flv.
Offline (on my drive) it works, but online (on my website) it loads the entire flv before displaying anything (..I get the animated barber shop sign scrub bar thing). Is there any additional coding or setup I need to do for it to allow me to play it even while it is downloading, as it's supposed to?
I don't get it... I can't seem to get progressive downloading working in ANY format. I just spent a week trying to get my Quicktime .mov's to Fast Start, and it just isn't happening, despite everything I try. I had it work ONCE now using QT Pro, but now they aren't working again.
I gave up on QT, and am trying the FLV route using the FLV Player component... which looked promising, but is now giving me the same issue.
Any solutions that work would be hugely appreciated. I've been at this for over a week, and found no answers online so far.
All I want:
Clip thumbnails (embedded movies) on my HTML page that don't download until you click play... and when you click play, it starts playing as soon as it has a good enough head start in the load.
I've tried Fast Start QT's....as well as external FLVs loaded via a swf with a FLV Player component inside.... and neither are working for me for some reason.

[UPDATE] Okay, now I got it working for now (...no idea what changed, or if it will continue to work). Only issue currently is that it's loading the clip right away (on entry of the HTML page),as opposed to when I click Play... so I'll still have the bottlenecking of all the clips loading at once. Is there some setting in the FLV Player component (or HTML) where I can have them only start downloading the clips when I click play?
I only want the clips downloaded if the visitor chooses to view the clips.
Would setting a preview in the FLV Player component do that (...load only the preview frame, and hold off until play is hit)?

Exception when removing player component running on Ubuntu Linux

Hi,
when I remove the player component from the GUI, I get the following exception on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 (Unity).
The project started 10 years ago and was running without any problems on windows, Mac, Linux.
I didn't test it on other linux distributions or desktop environments.
Catching the exception helps but this is somewhat ugly....
I'm using JMF 2.1.1e, Cross Platform Version.
On win7/8 no problems.
Any ideas?
TIA

I too am having this problem. On all of my linux distributions, including Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, knoppix 5,1, fedora 8,9,10 flashplayer 10 is broken in the same way. It reports that it cannot find webcam, and the settings dialog refuses to recognize mouse clicks. I've poked around the web quite a bit and have not yet found a solution. I saw the problem mentioned on an adobe bug reporting site and their response was to close the issue saying it wasn't repeatable on their system. I tried to re-open it and my post was deleted without comment (I may have posted incorrectly or something)
Looking here and elsewhere I see that the problem is very common and I don't see any posted bug-fixes, or even acknowledgement that a bug exists. Has adobe lost interest in being cross-platform compatible?

Hello,I need help.ipad 3 does not support flash media player.which player must I download instead of flash media player?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

Creating flash cs3 component

Hi,
There is great and easy way to create flash based component
in flash cs3 using action script 3.0.
I am going to make a simple My button component which will
behave likely same as flash native button component.
You can modify this according your requirement this is just
you give an idea about how we can go for creating a component in
flash cs3.
Follow these steps…
1. Create a fla file and save this file with any name
2. Create a movieClip and draw a rectangle shape on first
frame.
3. Right click on movieclip in library, select linkage
4. Provide class name in text field area [MyButton] (you can
use any name here which should matched with your class)
5. Click Ok button
6. Write class [MyButton]
(you can copy and use this)
* author @ sanjeev rajput
* [email protected]
* A flash action script 3.0 based component without extending
UIComponent class
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.motion.Color;
public class MyButton extends Sprite{
private var _tf:TextField;
private var _Label:String="My Button";
private var _bgColor:uint=0xCCCCCC;
private var _rollOverColor:uint=0xFFCCCC;
private var _borderColor:uint=0x000000;
private var _borderThickness:int=1;
private var _width:Number = 100;
private var _height:Number =100;
private var _background:Sprite;
public function MyButton() {
init();
createChildren();
initEventListeners();
draw();
//-------------property section [Start]
[Inspectable]
public function set Label(lbl:String){
_Label=lbl;
draw();
public function get Label(){
return _Label
[Inspectable]
public function set bgColor(color:uint):void{
_bgColor=color;
draw();
[Inspectable]
public function set borderColor(color:uint):void{
_borderColor=color;
draw();
[Inspectable]
public function set borderThickness(thickness:int):void{
_borderThickness=thickness;
[Inspectable]
public function set rollOverColor(color:uint):void{
_rollOverColor=color;
//-------------property section [End]
private function init():void {
trace('welcome');
_width = width;
_height = height;
scaleX = 1;
scaleY = 1;
removeChildAt(0);
private function initEventListeners():void{
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, eventHandler);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, eventHandler);
private function eventHandler(event:Event):void{
if(event.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER){
toggleColor(_rollOverColor);
if(event.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT){
toggleColor(_bgColor)
private function createChildren():void {
_background = new Sprite();
_tf = new TextField();
_tf.autoSize = "center";
_tf.selectable=false;
addChild(_background);
addChild(_tf);
protected function draw():void {
toggleColor(_bgColor);
_tf.text = _Label;
_tf.x = Math.floor((_width - _tf.width)/2);
_tf.y = Math.floor((_height - _tf.height)/2);
//width = _tf.width;
private function toggleColor(color:uint):void{
_background.graphics.clear();
_background.graphics.beginFill(color, 1);
_background.graphics.lineStyle(_borderThickness,
_borderColor, 1);
_background.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, _width, _height,
10, 10);
_background.graphics.endFill();
public function setSize(w:Number, h:Number):void {
_width = w;
_height = h;
draw();
7. Now right click again on your movieclip in library and
select component definition.
8. In class name text field provide same class name
[MyButton]
9. Click on ok button
10. Right click again on movieClip in library and select
Export SWC file.
11. Same your exported SWC file in (For window only)
[c:\Documents and Settings\$user\Local Settings\Application
Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Commands\
12. Now just open another new flash file open component
panel/window reload component you will your component in component
panel with MyButton name.
13. Drag your custom component on stage provide inputs form
property window and text it.
Enjoy!
