Flash Player 9 and Progress Bar Component

Can someone have a look at this:
http://www.adobe.com/go/6a620259
and tell me if there is any solution?
Thanks in advance
RC

As of this date, iI still have not found a solution to this
problem. In, general I have had bad experiences using the loader
component in conjunction with the progress bar component. By itself
the loader component works fine (loading movie clips, swf's, etc..)
but I have found that if you want a truly reliable progress bar,
you need to make your own. I would advise against using the one
built into flash 8. Maybe eventually, adobe will get around to
addressing the issue with some sort of workaround or update, but I
think in the meantime, we are on our own (and will probably have to
wait until Flash 9).
If you figure anything out, please share your info with me
and good luck hunting!

Problem using a Flash MX 2004 Progress Bar Component within a Movieclip

I'm try to setup a progress bar to show the percentage loaded
of a mp3 audio file using the Flash MX 2004 Progress bar component.
I can get the progress bar to the work normally by the having the
component on the stage (not in a movie clip) with the component set
to:
mode: polled
source loader
with the following actionscript on the layer above:
pBar.setStyle("themeColor", 0xFF0000);
var loader:Object = new Sound();
loader.loadSound("http:/www.mywebsite.co.uk/mymp3.mp3",
true);
But I won't to put the preloader inside a Movie Clip (the
movie clip is called 'content_MC') as the website has alot of
content. When I do this the mp3 file still streams but the Progress
Bar doesn't work.
I think I just need to change the action script so that it
links with the component telling it to calculate the progress of
the audio streaming file.
Am I right? Where am I going wrong?

I found the problem!!
While exploring the Fireworks MX 2004 folder located under
"C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Macromedia\"
folder I discovered that this folder was empty. So, I connected the
old hard drive and investigated the contents of the corresponding
folder on that drive. Discovering the wide assortment of files and
folders in that folder, I simply copied the contents of that folder
to the Fireworks MX 2004 folder and retried running the application
and IT WORKED!
Thanks for all your communications and in depth
troubleshooting steps, I will keep them in may Application
troubleshooting Tool Tips for future reference. I have included the
actions used here which brought about the successful resolution of
this issue so that if you'd like you might include them in any Help
Desk Methods you may have. It was truly a collaborative effort
because I would not have thought to explore the Application Data
folder to resolve this issue without you pointing me in that
direction.
Thanks again!

Flash Player and Bundled McAfee

Today I rebooted my computer after a Windows Update and got a dialog box saying that a new version of Adobe Flash Player was available, asking me if I wanted to upgrade.
I clicked "Yes" at which it took me to Adobe's Flash Player site and had me download an executable. After downloading the executable I double clicked it to begin the install. A dialog box opened up informing me that Adobe Flash Player was being installed. The same box had a second progress bar below the Adobe Flash Player install progress bar. This second bar was for some McAfee security product. There was never any prompt to ask me if I wanted the McAfee program installed. There was no check box to turn off its installation.
This was a completely automatic process from the point of double clicking the install file downloaded from Adobe - never pausing for any input from me until the installation of both Adobe Flash Player and the McAfee security product was complete.
I find it harder and harder to hold back my growing hatred of Adobe. I was among the earliest users of Photoshop and have always cheered on this company, stuck with it through various iterations of Photoshop, learned to love several other outstanding products from them including Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere, which I also frequently use.
But they are destroying all that goodwill they created by the shady practice of bundling malware like McAfee products with an essential upgrade to Adobe Flash Player. If I want to maintain security (of this otherwise very insecure product, Adobe Flash Player, I am required to update it to the most recent version. But doing so installs products like McAfee which I did not ask for and do not want on my computer, without my permission.
If there is anyone from Adobe reading this, please desist. Do not treat your customers like scum. Do not install software on their computers without their permission. This is a bad business practice and is destroying your brand, which has got to be worth more than however many pennies McAfee pays you to bundle their malware.
Thank you.

This warning stopped me and caused me to turn to Adobe for

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.

Question about plugging in an ajax progress bar component onto a black-box.

Hello,
I have the following problem: I want to integrate an ajax progress bar component to a j2ee application and I am in reference to the following pattern (https://bpcatalog.dev.java.net/nonav/ajax/progress-bar/design.html). It seems I need for the "task" component to return the percent. The problem I have is that I am calling a legacy method (i.e. as400) that does not return a percent as it is to me only a black-box. Here is a snippet of what it looks like to me:
      AS400 sys = new AS400("AS400D.calyonfinancial.com");
       sys.setUserId("jmartin");
       sys.setPassword("jmartin");
       CommandCall cmd = new CommandCall(sys);
       cmd.run("my as400 command goes here");
       AS400Message[] messageList = cmd.getMessageList();
       for (AS400Message msg : messageList) {
           System.out.println(msg.getText());
       sys.disconnectService(AS400.COMMAND);At best I can know whether or not it is completed.
void actionCompleted(ActionCompletedEvent event) //Invoked when an action has completed.What do you advise I do bearing in mind I want to avoid using an indeterminate progress bar??
Thanks in advance,
Julien Martin.

That's not a legacy method. The latest version of JTOpen was issued less than a month ago. And note that it's open-source, so you could change it yourself to provide percent-complete data. (Of course you'd have to be able to get that data from the underlying iSeries command.)
It wouldn't be easy, but if you think about it for a minute you'll realize that you can't display percentage complete in a progress bar unless you have some way of finding out what percentage the task has actually completed.

Progress Bar component

I have used the UI progress bar component in Flash CS3 AS2.
For some reason the progress bar appears to work fine, when it gets
to 100% it loads the movie about 3/4 way down the timeline. Its
almost like the movie itself is playing behind the progress bar.
Help! Thanks!

No one?

Dynamic control of progress bar component

Hello, I'm trying to use a load progress bar component to
appear as .swf files are loaded into a blank movie symbol when
users click on a button. What script can I use to connect the
progress bar, button, and the empty movie clip?

You can use the progress bar Component as a preloader of
sorts, but this doesn't work very well within the same document.
The best way to go about doing this is to create a 'loading' swf
file, that is the same size as the swf your main swf, then make an
empty MC and load the swf into it and you can then use the progress
bar Component to display the loading (or any number of other visual
indicators) loading is best done using the MovieClipLoader class,
where you can use it's event handlers and methods to effect the
progress indicator, however the pbar Component has these handler
built in as well so in this case for simplicity I'll use the
loadMovie method (I rarely do) So with a swf the same size as the
one you want to load, place a pbar instance on the stage with the
instance name of 'my_pb', and create an 'actions' layer and add
this code to the first frame:

Trying to download adobe flash player and i couldn't

trying to download adobe flash player and i couldn't

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.

Flash Player and Windows 7

OK. I also have the issue with Flash Player seeming to download and install but not work.   I checked the activex addons and it shows up. I can't find a directory anywhere even after changing the settings to show all.
And if this is not annoying enough I have the same problem w shockwave.
I realize that w W7 I'm missing something but with all the reorganization I can't find things.
Suggestions please.
I did find in control panel a selection called default programs and under that a selection which is associate file extentions w programs
I see that .swf is for shockwave flash player but it labeled as unknown app. It appears that I can set that but first have to find the programs.    even after setting file options to show hidden files I could not find either the shockwave or flash player
Well I am not sure if I have progress or regression.... I deinstalled it all. then reinstalled shockwave. It said I needed to reboot to complete the install. I let it.... no shockwave. I went back out to the installation and tried again and it says I need to reboot to complete the install. I've gone round this loop 4 times.   I checked in the registry for anything adobe and only found reader.
I guessl neither shockwave nor flash player is compatible w W 7 yet
Message was edited by: AnnoyedInOH
well after 3-4 reboots it says it's installed... again... but still does not work. I found another thread here that said it should be under windows/system32/Macromed/ ... something..   I don't have the directory Macro anything directory.
Message was edited by: AnnoyedInOH

First. IE has entries for the flash player and shockwave. The Java level I have is JAVA 6 update 14
Second. Both the flash player and shockwave are installed according to Programs and Features on the control panel.
Third: There is no Macromed directory under system23. I did find one under: c:\windows\SysWOW64. The Macromed directory does have a Flash directory with 4 files. Flash10d.ocx, FlashUtil10d.exe, an install log and uninstall_activeX.exe
Fourth. The control panel has a selection called: Default programs. when I click on that I see a selection that allows me to associate a file type with a program. In that list .swf is not associated w anything.    Since .swf files are not associated w the flash player should I associate them with the flash player?
I have no problem w updating Java to update 18. I am reluctant to delete the older version though as I have encounterd programs in the past which won't run with newer ones.

Flash Player and Youtube not Working but Vimeo does?

Hi guys,
We are currently deploying Windows 7 out to all Staff and Student PCs, we've had it on our IT Department's PCs for the past year and have had no issues with Flash Player and Youtube.
However, a Tutor reported that when they go to YouTube and select a video it buffers, plays a second or so and then goes to 'An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later'.
If we disable Shockwave Flash Object it redirects to the HTML5 website and that works fine.
Software:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
CPU: Various (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel i5, Intel Xeon E5
RAM: 2-4GB DDR2, 4GB DDR3,
Browser: IE10, Mozilla Firefox v19 and v24
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX: v11.8.800.175
Adobe Flash Player Plug-in: v11.8.800.168
Diagnostics:
Tried completely uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, restarting PC, installing Adobe Flash Player
Tried Adobe Flash Player Beta
Tried disabling Hardware Acceleration
Uninstalled IE10, Tried on IE8, Same Issue
Tried removing all Computer and User Policies
Checked if it was a VLAN issue but is happening on both 10.32.x.x (student) and 10.64.x.x (staff)
Tried on IE9 same issue
Scrolling along the seek bar at the bottom shows all of the stills fine.
Enable ActiveX Filtering resolves the issue but that's just because it goes to HTML5 too.
Any help is appreciated
Andy

I am also facing similar issue. I tried literally all solutions and then finally gave up and reinstalled windows 7 after clean format,
Immediately after fresh OS installation,Youtube just worked once with flash player for hardly 3 to 5 seconds and then crashed with error "an error occured please try again later- Learn More"
Tried reloading that same youtube video which initially worked for 5 seconds,but on second try it won't load at all.Tried all the other videos as well and same result,they won't play even for one second and same error "an error occured.."
Scrolling along the seek bar of stuck youtube video shows vid's still images just fine but video won't play at all.
Tried it with firefox,IE,Chrome and same result.
Youtube works fine with Html5 player.
Until 5 days back everything was working just fine, maybe either flashplayer got updated or Youtube changed anything which is causing this problem.
I even did a clean windows 8 install on another pc and that pc is also showing same symptoms.

Videos stopped playing... I get a black screen then plays for a few seconds and freezes. Have downloaded the latest Adobe flash player and it did not help.

     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box beside
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.

Reusing progress bar component?

I'm trying to reuse the progress bar component and it seems to not be responding. I'm can set the value to zero but everytime I try to do anything else it always sets the progress to 100%?
progress_ldr[file.name].name_txt.text = "Resizing-" + file.name;
   //progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.reset;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.source = null;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.mode = ProgressBarMode.MANUAL;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.minimum = 0;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.maximum = 100;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.value = 0;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.setProgress(50, 100);

No one?

Need progress bar component help.

I have a huge headache from doing hours of web searching for

Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

Macbook pro. app tries to use flash player and get " Blocked plugin" how to uninstall and reinstall flash player. update does nothing ?

Wife has an older MacBook Pro. when an app uses flash player "Blocked plugin" comes up. I don't know much about mac, tried to update flash player and get newer version already installed, and update and still get same message. How do I uninstall flash player and reinstall?

Sounds like it is blocked for the website you are at. Check with this:
You can quickly test whether a recently added plug-in is causing problems by blocking it.
Choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, then click Website Settings next to Allow Plug-ins.
Select the plug-in you want to disable on the far left, then click each pop-up menu on the right and choose Block.For some plug-ins, you see pop-up menus for different websites, and you can choose to block each one individually. Use the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu to block all other websites that don’t have individual settings.
