Flash Player End User Options
The three options for the end user seem clear: Embed,
Progressive Download, Stream.
But, my question is:
When a client previews a video from our website, at the same
video link is it possible to create an option to SAVE the video
onto a clients computer HI or LOW res, then they can have a copy of
the video to upload onto their own servers for whatever use they
need it for?
Will this require complex coding?
Wierd..
I would recommend two things..
1. File a public bug in the Flash Player public bugbase. For
details, see:
"Introducing the Flash Player bug and issue management
system"
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/tmccauley_fplayer_bugbase.html
2. Open a support web case and point the agent to your public
bug.
Do provide a sample FLA that we can use to repro this please.
Obviously you can strip out any sensitive info..

Adobe flash player and deinterlace option
Hello!
I get tv (h264/ts) from satelite, then, with wowza server, send it to flash player. (use rtmp).
On picture I'm can see interlace.
Adobe flash player has deinterlace option or I can solve this problem with my encoder?
Sergey.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!

Flash Player hangs users entire Terminal server session
Hi all, Firstly many thanks for reading this.
We're running Windows Terminal Server 2008 r2 using Flash Player 11.1.102.62
Whenever one of our users hits a flash enabled site they experience heavy session lags and even sometimes cause the session to hang until the server times out the session via group policy. This is regardless of the size of the Flash content being played (full screen content or a little ad in the corner).
To give an Idea of the layout, the Terminal Server is situated locally to the clients (not at a remote location) which eliminates it being a broadband issue for the clients. The Terminal server is a fresh install with a single install of flash( Flash 11.1.102.62 64-bit)
I've read through the administration guide and created a mms.cfg file. Presently it has the following entries:
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
FullScreenDisable = 1
OverrideGPUValidation = 0 (this was previously set to 1 to see if it would increase performance but it didnt.)
I dont see any options in the guide to tweak performance as such - just security related. Are there any other references to values that can be changed to increase performance?
Any thoughts/insights would be greatly appreciated as this is causing a real headache.
Kind Regards,

Deploying Flash Player to User environment
Hi All,
I've been running into some serious issues with our environment, it seems we have a lot of different versions of Flash Player floating on everyones machine at the moment - I'd like to change this as easily and quick as possible.
I was writing a script that used the Universal uninstaller to remove all versions of Flash Player then it would install the latest. However after it runs it will only partially uninstall the older versions of Flash Player, it sometimes will uninstall the whole thing and Install the latest perfectly. I noticed this only happens on the real older versions of Flash (11.2 - 11.6). After it uninstalls it partially I try to run the (.msi) installer manually and I get an error code 1722 ("There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as Expected") - where after i must run the msfixit tool(http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/) to fully remove the program.
The script goal:
Remove all versions of Flash Player using the Universal Uninstaller
Deletes the folders as specified:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Installs latest version 11.9 ActiveX and Plugin
User Environment:
Mainly Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise x64
Currently mixed environment on old versions (11.2 - 11.6)
Non-admin users
Deployment plan as of now is Group Policy - later ideally SCUP once SCCM 2012 is setup.
Also seeking advise to stabalize environment for future deployments, ie: should i disable automatic update and deploy updates accordingly or is there a way to allow the users to get the latest versions of flash.
Thanks all!Hopefully you can find most of the information you need in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html

Adobe Flash Player 10 download options
why do some websites send you to adobe.com to install flash player and other sites offer the "install method" ? You know where you get the prompt from the site to download the adobe installer. Is it safe if the site is reliable and legit?

Distributing Flash player so user can view Embedded Capt video?
We are thinking of including embedded Captivate (*.swf) files in our RH 8 WebHelp files. Our customers will not have access to the internet. So we thought we should include the latest flash player executuble in the software distribution. What do we have to do to provide them with the Flash player? Are there costs associated? Licensing fees, etc?
Thanks in advance.If it is like Acrobat, and I'd say it is, you can freely distribute Flash provided you have registered you are doing so with Adobe. When we started distributing Acrobat Reader in a previous life, this was as simple as filling in a web form on the Adobe website. Try there for further info.

1/14/2014 - Release - Flash Player 12
Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of Flash Player is available for immediate download. This update includes the following new features and improvements:
New Features:
Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 Support
Microsoft has released IE 11 on Windows 7 and we plan to officially support this in Flash Player 12.
Mac .pkg Installation Support
Deploying Flash Player and keeping it up to date is a critical task for system administrators worldwide. In Flash Player 11.9 we added .pkg support for ease of deployment. In Flash Player 12, we've incorporated feedback from system administrators to improve the workflow and UI.
Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D
We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW. These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D. We've also added a new parameter, called "bufferUsage", to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer. This "bufferUsage" parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.
Stage3D Creation of Context3D with Profile Arra
We've added a new interface to Stage3D.requestContext3DMatchingProfiles(profiles:Vector.<String> ) which will create a Context3D with highest level suitable profile that is in profile array, based on the current hardware. A developer can check the newly added property 'profile' to obtain the current profile that was chosen by the Flash Runtime.

Known Issues:
Due to a recent issue discovered with the last released versions of Flash Player 11.9 (version 11.9.900.170 ) and Flash Player 12.0 ( version 12.0.043 ), audio or video playback when streaming over an RTMFP based peer to peer connection, including direct peer to peer, ip multicast or app level multicast configurations, will fail on IE 9 and IE 10 browsers. The issue does not affect Firefox, Chrome or Safari browsers.
The fix will be made available in the next Flash Player 12 update. Until then we recommend users use an alternate browser for applications that use p2p real time communications, including audio, video, data conferencing or chat applications.
The following behaviors will be modified in Safari 6.1 and higher in Safe Mode:
AIR Badge Installs - AIR Badge Installer will not launch an installer when running Safari 7 in Safe Mode. Users will instead see a dialog with a link to more details and workarounds on an Adobe website.
Adobe Connect Plug-In Install - The Connect Plug-In Express Install will no longer work on Safari 7 in Safe Mode. Users will instead see a dialog with a link to more details on an Adobe website.
Flash Player Global Settings - When a users launches the Global Settings menu from the Flash Player context menu on Safari 7 in Safe Mode, the user will be taken to the classic SWF-based preferences menu on an Adobe website, instead of the native Flash Player settings UI in the MacOS Control Panel.
LocalConnection - When a LocalConnection is constructed from a SWF hosted in Safe Mode, it may only establish a connection with other SWFs also hosted in Safe Mode. If a LocalConnection is constructed from a tab with Safe Mode disabled, it will not be able to communicate with a SWF in a Safe Mode tab.
For complete information please see our release notes.
Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-02)
Current Flash Player desktop users that have enrolled in either the "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" or "Notify me to install updates" update options will receive an update notification dialog within 7 days from today (please note that Windows users will need to restart their system to receive the notification dialog.)

Yes, that would be expected, since Adobe released this
security update for Flash Player 9 (Flash Player 9,0,124,0) and not
for previous versions.
This is not a bug, 9.0.124.0 - The developers of this
specific site will need to implement the required changes to comply
with the security update.
“Adobe released a security update for Flash Player 9
(Flash Player 9,0,124,0) on April 8, 2008, to strengthen the
security of Adobe Flash Player for our customers and end users, and
to provide further mitigations for previously disclosed
vulnerabilities.
Customers are advised to review the following Flash Player
updates to determine if their content will be impacted, and to
begin implementing necessary changes immediately to help ensure a
seamless transition.
If any of the following situations apply, you should read
this article in detail:
• You use sockets or XMLSockets, regardless of the
domain to which you are connecting
• You use addRequestHeader or URLRequest.requestHeaders
in any network API call when sending or loading data cross-domain
or
You provide access to content on remote domains as a web
service provider
• You have SWFs that are exported for Flash Player 7
(SWF7) or earlier that communicate with the hosting HTML by any
means
• You use "javascript:" through network APIs to
communicate outside a SWF”

10/8/2013 - Flash Player 11.9 Release Announcement
Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of Flash Player is available for immediate download. This update includes the following new features and improvements:
New Features:
Safe Mode in Safari 6.1 and higher

11/6/2014 - Beta - Flash Player 15.0.0.222
The latest Flash Player 15 beta builds are now available. Beta builds can be downloaded from labs.adobe.com. Today's build brings the Flash Player beta up to date with next week's official release.
New Features for Flash Player 15:
Relaxing Stage3D Render Target Clear
In previous versions of Stage3D, after switching the render texture through Context3D::setRenderToTexture, you were required to clear it before drawing. In this release, we're removing this limitation and optimizing the use of render textures. This change will allow you to further optimize and reuse depth and stencil buffers between different render textures.
For additional information, please see Relaxing Render Target Clear Operation in Stage 3D.
Improved support for browser zoom levels - Windows 8
Flash Player now has improved support for browser zoom factors other than 100% on Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x. Devices, like the Microsoft Surface tablets, default to a zoom level of 150%. In the past, this could cause problems with Flash Player and some 3D content. With our new implementation, we can now scale the content and 3D buffers to keep everything aligned. In addition, Flash Player introduces an option to render to an increased Stage3D back buffer, rather than scaling, on browser zoom to keep the resolution of the rendered content high. This option allows to the stage3D buffer to change in size in synch with the change in the browser zoom factor. Developers are notified of this change with a new ZOOM_FACTOR_CHANGE event.
For additional detail, please see the article Improved Resolution of Stage3D Content on Browser Zoom
Flash Player Fullscreen Orientation Change - Windows
Flash Player will now detect and appropriately scale your content to fit best in a fullscreen display when your device orientation is changed. This change is specific to Windows and is implemented across all browsers. We're focusing on providing the best tablet experience possible. A resize event will fire when in fullscreen mode and the device orientation changes. Developers, if your content does not resize, you will need to handle the resize event appropriately.
For additional details, please see the Guide for Supporting Screen Orientation with Full-Screen Flash Player Content.
Hardware video decoding on Chrome (PPAPI) for Windows
We're pleased to announce that hardware video decoding is now enabled by default for Chrome users on Windows. This feature will drastically reduce the CPU usage and improve performance on supported videos players. We're working closely with Google to bring this feature to OS X and will provide additional details when available.
Automatic software fall back with StageVideo
Flash Player 15 now supports a Software version of StageVideo that provides an automatic failover to the software version when hardware StageVideo is not available. To leverage this automatic failover, the swf apps need to be compiled for Flash Player 15 and above.
When the swfs are compiled for Flash Player 15 and above, and when hardware StageVideo is unavailable, the app will get a StageVideoAvailability event as earlier, but instead of being "Unavailable" it will ALWAYS be "available", and the reason will always be "noError". The app will no longer need to implement a Video object failover as the failover is automatic inside flash player. The apps can still choose to use Video object instead of StageVIdeo if needed.
Hardware StageVideo availability is dependent on a number of factors, including:
Browser hardware rendering support: If available, all wMode based apps will support hardware StageVideo. If not available, wMode=direct based apps will be the only ones that will support hardware StageVideo, unless there are other exceptions, like the ones mentioned below.
On Windows:
IE11: IE has an accelerated pipeline and the FlashPlayer is HW accelerated in all wmode, so StageVideo should always be available. Note that the decision to use the HW accelerate rendering pipeline reside in IE.
Firefox: There is currently no HW accelerated pipeline available in Firefox on windows and only wMode direct will have StageVideo available all other wMode should generate a unavailable event.
Chrome: Pepper has HW acceleration in all wMode, but some restrictions apply. For example Chrome will refuse to use HW acceleration on Windows XP and it has its own driver blacklisting mechanism. It is also possible for the user to disable the HW acceleration in the settings panel. Chrome exposes a somewhat useful page to allow one to see the status of its gpu acceleration: chrome://gpu/
On Mac:
Safari: All wMode should expose StageVideo
Firefox: All wModes should expose StageVideo
Chrome: All wMode should expose StageVideo, with the same limitations as the windows version.
Driver version: Certain older drivers may not support hardware StageVideo
User settings: If a user turns off hardware acceleration, then hardware StageVideo will not be available
Full Screen: Hardware StageVIdeo is always available in Full Screen mode.
When the hardware StageVideo fails because of browser support, wMode, driver version or user settings, starting with Flash Player 15, SW StageVideo will be used automatically without needing any configuration or code in the app.
PPAPI Installers for Windows and Mac - Extended Beta
We're pleased to announce that we now have PPAPI installers for the standard version of Flash Player for Windows and Mac. Previously, this version of the Player was available only as an integrated component of Google Chrome. With the introduction of these installers, Flash Player is now available for all Chromium based browsers using the PPAPI interface. Please note that these installers are not required nor used by Google Chrome. Chrome will continue to include Flash Player without requiring any additional installation.
Both the standard and content debugging versions of the PPAPI installers are now available on http://labs.adobe.com.
New MMS.CFG Flag - EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior
Flash Player 15 restricted the ability for Flash Player in Internet Explorer to write to paths that traversed Junction files in Windows. This affected some enterprise organizations that relied on redirected user folders that also leveraged Junctions, and we have introduced a new mms.cfg that allows organizations to revert to the insecure behavior as temporary pain relief. We recommend that administrators only use this flag as a short-term workaround.
This Flag only works in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode disabled.
To enable this behavior, add the following line to your mms.cfg file:

Testing Focus:

11/25/2014 - Release - Flash Player 15
The next version of Flash Player is available for immediate download. In today's release we've updated Flash Player with critical security updates and bug fixes. We recommend users update to the latest version.
Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-26)
New Features for Flash Player 15:
Relaxing Stage3D Render Target Clear
In previous versions of Stage3D, after switching the render texture through Context3D::setRenderToTexture, you were required to clear it before drawing. In this release, we're removing this limitation and optimizing the use of render textures. This change will allow you to further optimize and reuse depth and stencil buffers between different render textures.
For additional information, please see Relaxing Render Target Clear Operation in Stage 3D.
Improved support for browser zoom levels - Windows 8
Flash Player now has improved support for browser zoom factors other than 100% on Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x. Devices, like the Microsoft Surface tablets, default to a zoom level of 150%. In the past, this could cause problems with Flash Player and some 3D content. With our new implementation, we can now scale the content and 3D buffers to keep everything aligned. In addition, Flash Player introduces an option to render to an increased Stage3D back buffer, rather than scaling, on browser zoom to keep the resolution of the rendered content high. This option allows to the stage3D buffer to change in size in synch with the change in the browser zoom factor. Developers are notified of this change with a new ZOOM_FACTOR_CHANGE event.
For additional detail, please see the article Improved Resolution of Stage3D Content on Browser Zoom
Flash Player Fullscreen Orientation Change - Windows
Flash Player will now detect and appropriately scale your content to fit best in a fullscreen display when your device orientation is changed. This change is specific to Windows and is implemented across all browsers. We're focusing on providing the best tablet experience possible. A resize event will fire when in fullscreen mode and the device orientation changes. Developers, if your content does not resize, you will need to handle the resize event appropriately. Additional details will be made available in a separate blog post.
For additional details, please see the Guide for Supporting Screen Orientation with Full-Screen Flash Player Content.
Hardware video decoding on Chrome (PPAPI) for Windows
We're pleased to announce that hardware video decoding is now enabled by default for Chrome users on Windows. This feature will drastically reduce the CPU usage and improve performance on supported videos players. We're working closely with Google to bring this feature to OS X and will provide additional details when available.
Automatic software fall back with StageVideo
Flash Player 15 now supports a Software version of StageVideo that provides an automatic failover to the software version when hardware StageVideo is not available. To leverage this automatic failover, the swf apps need to be compiled for Flash Player 15 and above.
When the swfs are compiled for Flash Player 15 and above, and when hardware StageVideo is unavailable, the app will get a StageVideoAvailability event as earlier, but instead of being "Unavailable" it will ALWAYS be "available", and the reason will always be "noError". The app will no longer need to implement a Video object failover as the failover is automatic inside flash player. The apps can still choose to use Video object instead of StageVIdeo if needed.
Hardware StageVideo availability is dependent on a number of factors, including:
Browser hardware rendering support: If available, all wMode based apps will support hardware StageVideo. If not available, wMode=direct based apps will be the only ones that will support hardware StageVideo, unless there are other exceptions, like the ones mentioned below.
On Windows:
IE11: IE has an accelerated pipeline and the FlashPlayer is HW accelerated in all wmode, so StageVideo should always be available. Note that the decision to use the HW accelerate rendering pipeline reside in IE.
Firefox: There is currently no HW accelerated pipeline available in Firefox on windows and only wMode direct will have StageVideo available all other wMode should generate a unavailable event.
Chrome: Pepper has HW acceleration in all wMode, but some restrictions apply. For example Chrome will refuse to use HW acceleration on Windows XP and it has its own driver blacklisting mechanism. It is also possible for the user to disable the HW acceleration in the settings panel. Chrome exposes a somewhat useful page to allow one to see the status of its gpu acceleration: chrome://gpu/
On Mac:
Safari: All wMode should expose StageVideo
Firefox: All wModes should expose StageVideo
Chrome: All wMode should expose StageVideo, with the same limitations as the windows version.
Driver version: Certain older drivers may not support hardware StageVideo
User settings: If a user turns off hardware acceleration, then hardware StageVideo will not be available
Full Screen: Hardware StageVIdeo is always available in Full Screen mode.
When the hardware StageVideo fails because of browser support, wMode, driver version or user settings, starting with Flash Player 15, SW StageVideo will be used automatically without needing any configuration or code in the app.
New MMS.CFG Flag - EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior
Flash Player 15 restricted the ability for Flash Player in Internet Explorer to write to paths that traversed Junction files in Windows. This affected some enterprise organizations that relied on redirected user folders that also leveraged Junctions, and we have introduced a new mms.cfg that allows organizations to revert to the insecure behavior as temporary pain relief. We recommend that administrators only use this flag as a short-term workaround.
This Flag only works in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode disabled.
To enable this behavior, add the following line to your mms.cfg file:
EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior = 1
For complete information please see our release notes.
Fixed Issues
[Mac][Chrome] No longer inadvertently requiring some users to reset their license files when viewing content protected video
Current Flash Player users that have enrolled in the "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" update option will receive this release automatically and silently within 24 hours. Users that have selected the "Notify me to install updates" update option will receive an update notification dialog within 7 days from today. Windows users will need to restart their system or log out and in to receive the notification dialog.
Please note that both Flash Player for Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows 8.x are updated using different mechanisms.

4/8/2014 - Release - Flash Player 13
The next version of Flash Player is available for immediate download. In today's release we've updated Flash Player with important security updates and bug fixes.
Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-09)
New Features for Flash Player 13:
Enhanced Supplementary Character Support for TextField
Characters from the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF now work correctly in TextField controls. This change greatly enlarges the code point range we support, and now includes characters like emoticons and complex CCJK characters.
New Stage3D Texture Wrapping Modes
Developers can currently set the wrapping mode of a texture to either clamp or repeat. Using the repeat option will repeat the texture on both the U and V axis. However, in some use cases, you may only want to repeat the texture on either the u or v axis.
This is now possible with the introduction of two new parameters: REPEAT_U_CLAMP_V and CLAMP_U_REPEAT_V
Stage3D Anti-Aliasing for Texture Rendering
Anti-Aliasing is a useful for improving perceived image quality. Hardware based Multisampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) is now available on all desktop platforms. To enable MSAA, set the level from 0 to 4 using the antiAlias property of the Context3D.setRenderToTexture() method.
0 = 1 subsample, no antialiasing
1 = 2 subsamples, minimum quality antialiasing
2 = 4 subsamples, medium quality antialiasing
3 = 8 subsamples, high quality antialiasing
4 = 16 subsamples, maximum quality antialiasing
Relocated Full Screen Video Warning to Top of Screen
We've made a small tweak to the "Press Esc to exit full screen mode" warning that is displayed for full screen video. We've received feedback from developers and users that the dialog obscures content. We wanted to make a change that both satisfies security concerns and customer viewing enjoyment. To reduce the impact of the dialog on the on-screen content, we've moved the dialog to the top of the screen.
Notable Fixes and Enhancements:
3620987 : TextBlock.findPreviousAtomBoundary incorrect after TextElement.replaceText when discretionary hyphens are used
3683154 : Cannot get a get swf file to play in Chrome browser
3683745 : API documentation says Event.PASTE says bubbles == false, but it is true in Flash Player
3690516 : TextField scrolls when it shouldn't, because it's including/considering trailing non-zero "leading" value
3693856 : [windows 8.1]PrintJob start() method is still crashed
3702884 : Flash 13 Beta: ActiveX invalidation no longer functions
