Flash Player: Ghost Complex

One minutes it is running and the next, it is gone. This has become a regular game which Flash Player and I have been playing a lot lately. I, however am loosing. I have had to reinstall this program more times that I can imagine. At this point, not even that is working. I simply spend hours and hours circling an endless loop of installation processes in the hopes that something is happening, when really it is not. The Adobe site doesn't seem to have the app available either. This seems to always happen at the most critical times; need to watch a video for work, need to complete training for work, need to upstream something extremely important for a program or an agency I am volunteering for and more, I seem to be able to install other players, but everything still asks for Flash Player.
I am using Windows 7/IE 8/with an HP dv7-3065dx Entertainment Notebook 64bit system. Everything was initially installed on the system. Active-x Message pops up periodically, then I know I am in trouble, because that is when everything stops working. Even if I ignore the message, there will no longer be an active Flash Player running on my system.
What can I do to stop this, get around it or something. I am so behind in sleep, work, and everything dealing with this issue.

Use the forum for Flash.

  • Ghost in the machine (Flash Player 9)

    I have a strange problem on my Windows 7 machine that I can't seem to resolve. There is a version of Flash Player 9 r124 that exists on my computer that I cannot remove. While this might not normally be a problem, the real issue is that any time I open a .swf, it defaults to this version of Flash, even though I have Flash Player 10 installed. If I try to tell windows to open it using Flash Player 10, but it acts as i it is the same application and makes no difference. If I want to run the .swf in 10, I have to open 10 manually and open the .swf from there. I have no way of tracing where the Flash Player 9 client actually is, (I've looked in windows/System32/macromed as well as windows/WOW64/macromed and it is not there).
    I have tried using the flash uninstaller from adobe, which does fine for removing Flash Player 10 but for some reason does nothing to remove this rogue copy of 9. Short of going through every entry of "Flash" in the registry or reformatting, I was hoping someone would have something to suggest.
    tldr: I can't uninstall Flash Player 9, I have tried almost everything I can think of/google search, please help.
    Thanks.

    Wow, that little application did it. I imagine that will come in handy in the future. I don't know why I didn't think of using a better process tracker.
    Turns out, Flex Builder 3 had a local version of FP9 in its program files. Hopefully I can replace them with FP10 or FP9 in the future, in case I need to use Flex again, but as for now I removed them and everything started working like magic.
    If anyone is curious, the directory I found FP9 in was:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\Player\win\FlashPlayer.exe
    Thanks for the help! You just saved me and several of my coworkers a heap of annoyance.

  • 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:
    EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior = 1
    Testing Focus:
    Hardware Video Decoding is now on by default for Chrome users. If you experience playback or stability problems when watching Flash-based video, please report them to the Beta forums. Including the output of the DirectX Diagnostic Tool (dxdiag) would be especially helpful.
    Fixed Issues
    Multiple Stability and Security Fixes

    Thanks Clark for addressing my problem.
    I was out of town, just returned today. Hence some delay in my reply.
    The application being at an enterprise level and huge, I am not sure how to share a simplified source.
    The complexity of the elements getting created in the application may also cause error in rendering at that zoom level.
    Let me find out some way out of how to share more details on this.
    I will be able to share the swf link with you after discussing the confidentiality terms with the concerned person.
    I appreciate your patience.

  • 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
    3703799 : New version 12.0.0.44 doesn't fully install and failure to install blocks all media playing capability
    3717098 : Exclude Windows 8.x from CUPT & SCUP catalog for ActiveX installation
    3058752 : The 'Press ESC to exit full screen' dialog has been moved to the top of the screen for non stage video
    3617020 : Addresses an issue where Flash Player was polling GamePad before the GamePad API was invoked
    3683154 : [Chrome] sciencenetlinks.com - Resolves an issue where content would not load completely in rare instances where a PPAPI getDownloadProgress event was not received
    3679210 : Resolved an issue where TextBlock.findPreviousAtomBoundary would return an incorrect value if it was called after TextElement.replaceText when discretionary hyphens were used
    3679537 : [OS X 10.9] Flash Player's native control panel can now be launched through the right-click context menu as expected. [Requires OS X 10.9.1 (13B40) or higher]
    3680211 : Resolves an issue where Flash Player would stop rendering when embedded in a page that also contains WebGL Canvas element and was forced to fall back to software rendering.
    3679556 : [Win8.1] starwars.com - Full Screen content now renders in Full-Screen mode
    3685541 : [Win8.1] Flash Player now handles IVS characters and surrogate pairs correctly in TextFields.
    3697077 : [Win8.1] nba.com - Video controls are now correctly displayed in Full-Screen Mode
    3685519 : [Win8.x] Pressing the Menu key on the software keyboard now correctly triggers the right-click context menu when in Modern mode.
    3689360 : [Win8.x] Yahoo Messenger - The logo is now displayed correctly, instead of a black rectangle.
    3702323 : Resolves a intermittent hang encountered when playing Encrypted HLS content
    3652266 : Resolves performance and reliability issues encountered when scrubbing FLV videos produced by Flash Professional
    3710237 : [HTTP Live Streaming] - Resolves a slow memory leak.
    3699038 : [HTTP Live Streaming] - When switching from an Audio/Video stream to an Audio-Only stream, audio now stays in sync with main content
    3697077 : [Win 8.1] - Video controls now display correctly in Full-Screen mode on www.nba.com
    3703367 : [Win 8.x] - Resolves an issue where videos in Full-Screen mode were cut off when the zoom setting was greater than 100% on cnn.com

  • 9/3/2013 - Flash Player 11.9.900.85 Beta

    Flash Player Beta Channel Update
    The latest Flash Player 11.9 builds are now available.  You can download Flash Player here: http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta.
    New Features:
    Safe Mode in Safari 6.1 and higher
    Safari 6.1 includes an updated version of Safari with Safe Mode, which implements new security restrictions on the operation of browser plug-ins.  To the extent possible, we've adapted Flash Player to transparently handle these changes.  A small number of behaviors will change in the context of Safe Mode and are explained in the Known Issues section below.
    64-Bit PPAPI Flash Player for Chrome
    (Currently available in the Chrome Canary channel)
    Mac .pkg Installation Support 
    Deploying Flash Player and keeping it up to date in enterprise environments is a critical task for system administrators worldwide. We’re introducing a new .pkg installer format for our distribution partners to reduce their workload.  Administrators can now deploy Flash Player for Mac using industry-standard management tools.
    Testing Guidance: 
    This release focuses on enhanced premium video capabilities and new platform support.  We're looking for feedback on stability and compatibility with existing content on these new platforms. 
    MacOS users should be testing with the lastest Mavericks Developer Preview (currently 3).  Feedback on content with complex scenarios involving localConnection, ExternalInterface/External API, and FileReference will be especially helpful.
    Known Issues:
    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.
    Developers can detect whether or not a SWF is running in Safe Mode by checking the Boolean ProductManager.isAllowed().  (This is currently unofficial, and it's possible that we may alter it during the API review process.)
    Notable Fixes and Enhancements:
    The ExternalInterface.call() issue introduced in 11.8.800.95 has been fixed.  The fix will also be included in the next 11.8 maintenance release. [3622360]
    HTTP Live Streaming - WebVTT - An issue where captions would be delayed after returning from an ad have been resolved  [3613440]
    HTTP Live Streaming - WebVTT - Corrects an issue where the caption would wrap around the video display when the specific font was too large [3615084]
    HTTP Live Streaming - WebVTT - Corrects an issue where large, non-default fonts would sometimes overlap [3585544]
    [Mac] StageText - Corrects an issue where when zooming multiple times on a Mac equipped with Retina display, text would not scale correctly when maximizing the window. [3616952]
    StageVideo - Corrects an issue where a few visible black frames could be seen during the transition between two MP4 video streams. [3612492]
    [Flash Pro] Corrects an issue where Live Preview would hang when zooming very far (>200%) into content with filters applied  [3596293]

    Uninstalling Flash and Firefox then reinstalling Firefox also works.

  • Flash Player, Windows 7 64-bit, Firefox 3.6 user needs HELP

    There are so many solutions on this forum for using Firefox with Flash Player and getting it to work -- however I am dizzy from reading all the technical stuff that I can't begin to understand.  I don't even know what Flash Player does.  I don't know where it is or whether I need to update it.  Periodically I get a message from Firefox that says I need to update it immediately, but the directions to do so are way too complex for this computer user. I began using a PC as soon as they were available when computer stuff was much more straight-forward.  I just want things to work without all these complications.  I have a few questions: 
    1.  How do I know whether or not Flash is working on my computer.  I get periodic messages from Firefox that say I need to Update Flash Player.  But I'm afraid to update something that I don't know is broken.
    2.  I can't begin to understand HOW to update.  Tried to update from the Firefox site.  It diverted me to a list of instructions which looked easy enough EXCEPT there was no yellow bar on my screen and therefore no "Edit Options."
    3.  When I read through many of the posts related to these issues, I realized that I do not have the capability to understand the instructions given to make all this work. I have Firefox 3.6.10.  Should I really uninstall it and download the 32-bit version?? I would be pretty afraid to download a Beta version of Flash Player for  64 bit since the description says it might be unstable in its infancy.
    4.  Where on earth do I find the Flash Player program currently installed?.
    5.  A screen just popped up that said it would Install Flash Player 10.1.  Should I install it with Firefox 3.6?  Or will this cause things not to work?
    6.  Can someone direct me to a Flash Player Beginners Forum?

    We've been fighting this problem FOREVER!!
    Why doesn't Adobe simply come out with a "Troubleshooter/Personal Settings" Inspector Program?
    That way, I would start that program & it would analyze my op system, browser & version, current flashplayer being used
    , and tell me the changes needed.  If Adobe REALLY  wanted to do it right, that program would make necessary changes "FOR US"! But, *WILL* THEY? Knowing Adobe, I DOUBT it.
    If changes need to be made, it simply tells me what they are & give me links to accomplish all of it?
    IS THAT SO DIFFICULT?

  • 4/28/2014 - 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.  We recommend users update to the latest version.
    Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-13)
    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:

  • Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

    I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
    Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
    When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a  small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
    My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
    We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.
    V. S.

    Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
    Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
    I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
    I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
    Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
    We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
    If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
    Thanks,
    eidnolb

  • Does my 2008 macbook pro need adobe flash player and why is it so slow?

    I was at another question and they had recommended downloading EtreCheck to get their question.
    I am trying to find out if I need Adobe flash player installed?
    Also, my Macbook Pro works fine online for speed, but opening any applications (pages, numbers, iPhoto,) anything installed is painfully slow.
    It plays youtube just fine.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press returnthree times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • 3/1182014 - Beta - Flash Player 13.0.0.168

    Flash Player Beta Channel Update
    The latest Flash Player 13 builds are now available.  You can download Flash Player here: http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta.
    New and Updated Features:
    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. 
    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 a lot of feedback from developers because the dialog obscures content, and 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. 
    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 new Context3D, setRenderToTexture() method.
    • 0 = 1 subsample, no antialiasing
    • 1 = 2 subsamples, minimal antialiasing
    • 2 = 4 subsamples, medium  high-quality antialiasing
    • 3 = 8 subsamples,  high-quality antialiasing
    • 4 = 16 subsamples, very high-quality antialiasing
    Testing Guidance: We're looking for feedback on stability and compatibility with existing content on these new features.  Fixed Issues:
    Multiple stability fixes

  • 1/28/2014 - Beta - Flash Player 13.0.0.80

    Flash Player Beta Channel Update
    The latest Flash Player 13 builds are now available.  You can download Flash Player here: http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta.
    New and Updated Features:
    Supplementary Characters Enhancement Support for TextField
    This is a desktop enhancement for supporting surrogate pairs in the TextField control.  Now, characters out of the Basic Multilingual Plane(BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF will work correctly in the TextField control.  It greatly enlarges the code point range we support and includes characters like emotion symbols (emoticons) and complex CCJK characters.  This feature has been under an extended beta period.  We anticipate this being included into the release version of the Runtime 13 release.
    Full Screen video message tweak
    We've made a small tweak to the "Press Esc to exit full screen mode." message that's seen on full screen video.  We've heard for sometime that this message obscures content and we wanted to make a change that both satisfies security concerns and customer viewing enjoyment.  To help, we've simply moved the message towards the top of the screen from it's original centered position.
    Testing Guidance: 
    This release focuses on enhanced premium video capabilities and new platform support.  We're looking for feedback on stability and compatibility with existing content on these new platforms.  
    Fixed Issues:
    3058752: Move 'Press ESC to exit full screen' to the top
    Note, this currently only works for hardware accelerated video (e.g. YouTube)
