Flash Player and color management

Anyone can explain how a Flash Player (ver. 9) handles color
managed JPEGs (tagged with sRGB) in a slideshow. I am getting
pretty significant shifts in color and cannot explain it why. When
the images are viewed in a color managed browser, all is fine and
correct. The moment I let them run in an swf object, all is messed
up.
Generally, I've read that FP is not color managed (I've heard
that 10 is, but the slideshow component currently wouldn't take
advantage of it probably anyways), but I am interested to learn how
does Flash treats images with sRGB (does it strip the profile,
disregards it altogether) and what supercedes what. Flash inability
to color manage ot browser's ability to manage anything running in
its window?
You can view the example here:

Correct colors
[L]http://www.mafani.com/images/test/Picture%203.png[/L]

What I read in the spec is that FP10 only honors the color
profile if you turn the api ON in your SWF's. It's off by default.
At least that's how I read it. But I read through it pretty quick,
so I may have missed something.
Reading through the above link and
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/display/Stage.html#colorCorrection
I'm not sure that's so clear.
I don't have the bandwidth(or the color-corrected monitors)
to dig into this one myself right now. What I'd suggest you do is
do some testing with the API in a sample FLA/SWF. IF you then think
the colorcorrection isn't doing what it's supposed to then open a
support case against Flash CS4 at
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact.
We'll get it investigated and see what we can find out. If you do
that please post the case number back here so I can follow up on
it..

Unable to install Adobe Flash Player and Download Manager issue

Dear all,
1. I tried to install adobe flash player and have enabled
'download unsigned ativex control' and "run activex control and
plugins", but never succeeded.
2. I am unable to locate the "download manager" sources.
Please help.

As a note, running with no anti-virus software is a very bad choice. I would try installing Microsoft security Essentials, [http://microsoft.com/security_essentials http://microsoft.com/security_essentials] to stay safe with a free but light weight anti-virus.

Wrong version of Flash player and wrong colors

Video playing in Flash has color shifted vertically, leaving a green stripe at the bottom, and grey areas in the video. I wanted to install the latest version again in case mine was corrupted. The Adobe site has the latest version as 3.300.268, yet I had 270 on my PC. The install would not work, saying I had a later version. Uninstalled my flash player, and tried to install 268, but it still says I have a newer version, even though no player shows up in Control Panel, or in the Internet Explorer plug-ins. What do I do now? I cannot install Flash player, nor can I play any videos at all.

Turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash Player settings and read this:

On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.

Adobe Flash Player and IE8

I am using Internet Explorer 8. I have tried to install Flash Player 10.2.152.32. It goes through the Installation Manager & appears to have done all the installation with no problems. I get no error messages & get an installation done confirmation, but it still doesn't work, I can't view any flash materials. I have tried using the manual uninstall & install for flash player, same result. I also check for shockwave.... add on on IE8 but is not available? I am currently using windows xp 32bit sp3. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mario

Hi, So you don't find the Shockwave Flash Object in all addon category under "Show"? If that isn't Installed, then that is why you can't view Flash Content. That is the Control for Flash Player and it's needed for FP to work.
When the Shockwave Flash Object isn't Installed, the reason can be several things. The Administrator Account that has the Permissions needed to Install Flash Player wasn't used. An Anti-Virus blocked the Install of it. A Virus active or has been removed. A Kill-bit is set in the Registry or just Registry Issues.
Have you had any Virus/Malware? If so what program removed it?
What Anti-Virus/Spyware program do you have Installed?
I would check first for the Kill-bit. This thread has info on it:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/782435?tstart=0
Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back the files listed.
I'll check your thread tomorrow.

Adobe flash player and youtube are not working

adobe flash player and youtube are not working

It seems that going to Preferences>Security> Check allow plug ins, then manage sites, and then allowing one site allows all??? Seems like a lot to go through. I have installed the player 4 times now and just got it figured out!

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

What camera resolution mode is used by the Flash Player camera settings manager

What camera resolution is used by the Flash Player camera settings manager? I am referring to the camera settings that you have to pull up by right-clicking on a Flash Player swf that is running, and from the right-click menu you hit settings...select the camera tab...and then you can hit the little camera icon and will show you the live video feed from the camera.
In order for the live feed to be displayed, Flash Player requests a camera resolution mode to the driver. What mode is being requested?
For example, could it be 160x120 @ 30fps?
Or is it 176x144 @ 30fps?
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html#117113

I have the same cam as you (it's apretty darn good cam IMHO).
I don't ever see any resolution request when I click the icon.
My cam initializes at 1920X1080, per the logitech specs. The box in the settings is 4:3, but the cam is running at 16:9, in apps like Skype, or FaceTime (Mac).
It shows the same setup screen in WIn XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8, which ALL share the same cam on my setup.
Being as the cam feed in the setup is 4:3, I'd have to say the resolution is 160:120 as opposed to 176:144 which would be a 5.3:3 or 16:9.

Flash player and excessive popups

Yes, I was once plagued by flash player based ads opening tons of popups so I set flash player to ask for activation, solved my problem.... BUT, I managed to press "Allow and remember" instead of just "Allow now", so my question is, where to do I find the list with the sites that are not required to ask for permission? As I am now plagued by excessive popups once more... I have ran both Malware and Antivirus scans, neither showed any sign of finding any files related to the ads.

Go to about:addons. On the sidebar, click 'Plug-ins'. Find Flash Player, and select "Ask to Activate" in the box next to it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Flash Player and Internet Explorer

I continual get a message that I cannot view something because I need the latest flash player. I download and upgrade the flash player and it happens again the next day. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. It has something to do with IE. I can view the items under Chrome.

Chrome has its own Flash Player plugin and it functions independently of IE or any IE plugins.

Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management

This is a question about Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management. I scan 4x5 film and sometimes end up with up to or even bigger than 1 GB files. Obviously that needs as much memory as possible. Windows XP is limited in this regard and I am in the market for a new speedy computer which won't force me to stay at a snail's pace. In this month's Shutterbug, David Brooks in his Q&A column says to avoid Vista for color management reasons, but offers no explanation or support for his opinion. He implies one should wait for Windows 7 for some unstated reason. With a calibrated monitor and printer and Photoshop controlling color files sent to the printer, why would Vista be any different or worse than XP? Is he on to something or just pontificating? Does anyone know any reliable info about Windows 7 that would make it worth waiting for?
Thanks.

Photoshop has direct access to max 3.2gb
On Mac OS X, PS CS4 can use up to 8 GB of RAM, but only directly accesses up to 3.5 GB. (Figures quoted from kb404440.) In using PS CS4 on Mac OS, though, direct Memory Usage maxes out at 3 GB even. If you set usage to 100% (3 GB), then plug-ins (including Camera Raw and filters), as well as actions and scripts, can access RAM above that 3 GB to between about 512 MB and about 768 MB total (seems to vary depending on which filters et al that you are using), leaving the rest up to 4 GB for the Mac OS. If you have more than 4 GB, then the amount of RAM above 4 GB is used by PS as a scratch disk. This increases performance significantly for most things because writing to and reading from the hard drive is much slower than doing so with RAM.
I haven't done the testing for actual RAM usage and such for PS CS4 on Vista 64, and Adobe's documentation is very much lacking in detail, but, based on the statement "If you use files large enough to need more than 4 GB of RAM, and you have enough RAM, all the processing you perform on your large images can be done in RAM, instead of swapping out to the hard disk." from kb404439, it seems that PS would be using RAM in very much the same way as I described above for Mac OS, except that the scratch disk usage in RAM wouldn't be limited to 8 GB (instead to how much you have installed). Has anyone done any performance/load testing to know for sure? I didn't see any such studies published, but I am curious if one has been done.
I will agree that there is a definite performance advantage when using PS CS4 (64-bit) on Vista 64, which I've experienced, especially when working very large compositions.
My initial recommendation to the OP to use Mac was based upon reading those articles about bad color management. As I stated before, I have never experienced that problem, and clearly the views of all that have posted here so far indicate that the problem may not be a real issue. (Perhaps this David Brooks fellow and Steve Upton both like to mess with their computers and broke something in Windows?)
