Flash Player and Browser Communication

According to this article:
http://blog.dannypatterson.com/?p=133
Compressed data (gzip files) being sent from the server are
unzipped by the browser before being passed to Flash Player -
therefore there is no need to write separate action script classes
to deal with the data.
I am getting conflicting reports from other developers saying
that the Flash player communicates directly with data coming from
the server with no stop at the browser level. According to them,
you must write actionscript classes to decompress the data.
Who is right?

If you want to report Flash Player bug, right location is here. If you report ActionScrit bug, JIRA is right place though.
By the way I belive this is not bug but expected behavior. I'll follow up more info in Flash Player forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/920682?tstart=0
thanks,

RTMPT causes Flash player and browser to freeze

I'm having a problem with outgoing RTMPT connections.
Whenever I connect to "rtmpt://server/app/file" (or when specifying
rtmp:// which falls back onto rtmpt:// due to firewall
restrictions), the Flash player plugin causes the browser to freeze
for 5-15 seconds and then proceeds with the playback normally. This
affects all browsers on Windows with Flash plugin versions 9.0.115
or 9.0.124 only. MacOSX is working perfectly fine. I'm using Flash
Media Server version 3.0.2.
I discovered that when activating an HTTP proxy server (I'm
using Squid Cache 2.6.STABLE14) in Internet Explorer, the RTMPT
traffic gets redirected through it smoothly and the issue as
described above does not occur.
A related bug report has been issued here:

Flash player and browser shortcut keys issue

I've an issue to run the browser hot keys when the flash player is running, the player is kinda stoping the propagation of the events to the browser, is there a way for the player to bubble the events to the browser? .
My application covers the whole browsing area.(flex). I've tried usign empty application without any events, still it is an issue(thought i'm stopping it from propagating to the browser )
Tested on : Windows 7, Chrome 15, Firefox 7.01, (Works on IE)

I am looking into this right now. Please stay tuned for more info.

HELP!Flash Player and ActiveX communication problem in IE!

I've made a ActiveX Control which use a Modeless Dialog to
hold a
ShockWaveFlash ActiveX control. Then we could use this
ActiveX control
as a bridge to communication with the Flash which was held in
the
ShoclWaveFlash Control.
The struct is as below:
External APP or Html <--> My own ActiveX Control
<--> ShockWaveFlash
Player playing .swf file
In Firefox or MFC APP, everything is OK, but in IE, IF we
load local
swf file and set always local trust, we can get FSCommand in
our own
ActiveX,
But if we load a swf file from HTTP use URL to locate it, We
cann't get
the FSCommand fired from flash in our own ActiveX.
It should be a security issue of Flash8, but I don't know
whether a
remote SWF file can communicate with local ActiveX in IE???
Please Help! Thanks!

Please see this FAQ:

Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave crashing has disabled my computer

I have downloaded a second flash player and it is still the same. Firefox has been crashing daily for a few weeks. I noticed that your adblocker plus was updated 6/4. Since then I have almost no use of firefox, because the Adobe flash player 13.0.r0 and Shockwave crash notices are constantly popping up. Could that update have something to do with why the flash players are not working? Below are an example of the crash details.
Thanks for the help. I prefer your browser, but this has made it non-functioning.
In trying to fix it, a window came up that asked would I like to change it back to a previous working image, which was Windows XP. Although this computer is Windows 7, I clicked the box yes, and said I wanted it to work like Windows XP. I see in your Operating System below, that it reads Windows Xp, but this computer is actually Windows 7. I can't find that menu to change unclick and change it back, so that it is working as Windows 7.

This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
If that doesn't work try Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
Flash has been a pain since day 1 and Mozilla is currently working to replace Flash with Shumway. Unfortunately it's in the Nightly channel, doesn't come activated automatically and it isn't quite ready for normal usage. I just tested Nightly yesterday with Shumway and it wouldn't play.

Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago. At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work. Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
In control panel programs I have listed
Adobe AIR      no size
Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
Adobe PDF Link Helper
Adobe PDF Reader
Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
Thanks

Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it. My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive. The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

Windows 8.1 not recognizing Adobe Flash Player and Adobe help not helpful

I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit. I tried to view a video and it said I did not have flash player. I went to download adobe flash player and your website said I had it intergrated into 8.1 and that it was either disabled, not the right version or that active X filters needed to be clear. I followed all instructions. Flash was installed with the 8.1 64 bit version. Flash was enabled for all websites and I cleared the active X filter and I still get told that I don't have install flash because it is intergrated and but it does not work. Please help I am in a cycle where Adobe is not helping just sending me in a circle. Thank you

Your problems aren't with Adobe or Flash Player. They're with Internet explorer 11 and Microsoft.
IE11 (Windows 7, 8 & 8.1) has been an abomination since its release October 18, 2013. Yahoo, Facebook, BBC, ESPN and dozens of other sites and domains have had trouble recognizing the Browser. If the site doesn't recognize the browser, it won't recognize any plugins in the browser, including Flash Player. Microsoft was made aware of the problems by millions of users within hours of the release, and so far they've shown no sign that they intend to fix it anytime soon. Their recommendation is to enable Compatibility View for affected pages. Two problems with that are that it's had only limited success, and you must enable it manually for each affected page. Basically, they're telling you to "pretend" you're not using IE11.
I'm not big on "pretending", and I recommend actually using something different. Something that works where IE11 won't.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Chrome (from Google)
Safari (from Apple)
Opera (from Opera)
ANY of those will work where IE isn't recognized, and they use the Flash Player Plug-in (for other browsers), except for Chrome, which has its own plugin embedded in by Google.

About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

Hi folks,
Archlinux 86-64 2007-08-2
SeaMonkey 1.1.6,
I need to install Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader
I found following link;
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64
But not for Seamonkey. Does it work on Seamonkey. Besides it's flash plugin. Would it be the same as Adobe Flash Player?
Does 32bit Adobe Reader works on 64bit Seamonkey. Where can I download it? Where can I find its installation document?
TIA

How can I get Flash Player and install it?

I29/Aug/2010 17:37
TO: Adobe Forum
I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
How can I get Flash Player and install it?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

Bookmarks sidebar cover Flash player and PDF plugin when active.

This problem is present in FF 5 - 6 - 7.
When i leave the Bokmarks sidebar active in my FF a blank square flickering on flash player like youtube videos and on pdf documents opened with PDF plugin.
This square appear and disappear when i move the mouse over this, or the problem go back when i close the bookmarks sidebar.

Installing FLash player (and Creative cloud)

I am having trouble with Flash player and creative cloud. Most recently I have tried umpteen times to install Flash player and it wont work. I have run through uninstalling it. re installing it. ensuring it is enabled. and nothing. i have established that i DO have the current version on my computer through the \app\ through your website...its the 11.9 version. but when I try to use FB to upload photos, it says i have to install the latest version of flash.
I have also had the same issue with CC. I have a subscription and i have downloaded the desk top app, but I cannot see or access it. I have it listed in my control panel, under programs...but cannot see it anywhere else.
What else can I do? I am so frustrrated. mostly with these adobe products - they just dont seem to 'stay' on my comp. LR and PS both work - downnloaded from CC...but nothing else really!?
Thanks so much
Jen

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11 (which I can only assume you're using because this is where the FB problems occur), which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

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.
Regards,
DP-K

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.
