Flash player settings manager does not display

This happens in both Safari 4.0.4 and Firefox 3.5.5. Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8). I just get an empty white rectanglar space where the settings panel ought to be. Rest of the page (help, menu sidebar, etc) displays just fine. Happened with Flash Player 10.0.32, so I upgraded to 10.0.42. Same problem. In Firefox it happens even if I turn off NoScript.
I'm trying to access the settings panel at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
Safari's Activity manager shows the error "expired server certificate" for
https://www.macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settingsmanager2.swf?defaultTab=privacy
Firefox's Error Console does not seem to show that error. It merely spits out nearly 100 warnings about the page.
Page Info indicates the settings panel is embedded with dimensions of 0px x 0px
But Firefox has a non-encrypted panel:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settingsmanager.swf
"The site www.macromedia.com does not support encryption for the page you are viewing."
I don't see anyone else reporting this problem. Any ideas about what could be blocking the panel from displaying that i can fix?

Just registering that I have the same problem as well. Tried flash 10.0.42 on Firefox 3.5.5 and IE 8. I had this problem on two seperate windows XP machines, both running SP 3.
Anyone have an idea as to what's up?

Flash Player Settings Manager does not response in AIR HTML control

Hello All,
We are working on a AIR application which is quite big and have around 22 modules. We have some of the functionalities which open an URL inside a browser (HTML control of AIR SDK). Most of the URL related functionalities are working fine in AIR HTML control but have a problem with one functionality. The functionality opens an URL of Flash based application in AIR HTML control which on launch shows the followuing screen
and when I try to click on either allow or deny button they do not respond however you may close this NativeWindow Object. Actually we are putting AIR HTML control inside NativeWindow obejct and then opening it. when we tried to open this application directly from browser (IE 9.0) it was working perfectly. the settings box came and allowed me to click on allow and behave accordingly.
Please suggest some workaround.
Regards,
Ashish.

I cannot add a site to the list of allow micro sites on Flash Player settings manager

I cannot add a site to the list of allow micro sites on Flash Player settings manager.
as Adobe says at his help document (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff8.htm l):
Displays a list of previously visited websites that have asked to use the camera or microphone on your computer. You can allow or block the use of your camera and microphone by sites on the list. You can also ask to be prompted for permission to use them. Finally, you can choose to remove sites from the list. Removing a site deletes all settings and data stored for that site in Flash Player.
The list initially contains only the sites you have already visited. If you want to specify camera and microphone settings for sites you have not yet visited, you can choose to add sites to the list. Once a site is on the list, you can specify whether to always allow camera and microphone use, ask permission, or never allow camera and microphone use by that site.
I cannot find any button to add a website. Can you help me please.
Thanks in advanced

Flash Player won't install - says Flash Player Settings Manager is open

I cannot install Flash Player on my Win7 64-bit PC. When running the install from the download page, I simply get the error "Installation failed - Unknown Error". If I run the install from the standalone installer I get the message "Flash Player Settings Manager is Open" and a "quit" button".
I don't know what the Flash Player Settings Manager is or where to find it. It certainly does not seem to be "open" anywhere that I can see.

There was a discussion about this topic. One answer that many people found useful is:
1. Check for the file 'FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl' in the following folders:
On 32-bit systems, C:\Windows\system32
On 64-bit systems, C:\Windows\syswow64
2. Delete this file.
If you don't have the permission to delete the same, use a third-party application, such as Unlocker. (http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/)
3.Try installation or uninstallation.
Thanks

Manage "Flash Player Settings Manager" in IT Environment

Hello Community,
Is there an IT Administrators guide or document for managing and configuring the "Flash Player Settings Manager" Control Panel app for version 10.3? We have approximately 1000 systems that we need to manage and push the software to and basically want to turn off the "check for updates automatically" and "Check Now" Updates features. I would like to be able to configure the Settings Manager applet in the configuration of Flash Player before deployment so that we don't have to manually configure each workstation post install (which will never happen anyway...too many systems ).
Flash Player updates will be managed through our Altiris Notification server to keep all systems up to date.
Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, while you can disable checking for updates with the mms.cfg file, the UI on Windows does not reflect the changes that the admin has enacted. The mms.cfg functionality is still applied, we just didn't have enough time in the current release to reflect that in the UI. I believe our next release will address this, you should be able to verify by testing out our FP 11 RC release.

Trying to access Flash Player Settings Manager always asks to install but I already have it installe

I am trying to access Flash player website settings manager. I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have. I download it successfully. Windows 7 control panel has Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit. When I link again, I get the same message to download flash player as if I never did it before. What am I missing? There is also Flash Player (32-bit) icon that invokes Flash Player settings manager.Is this the best I can do to get the website storage settings? My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.

If you want to temporarily remove Flash Player LSO's(cookies), just delete the browser's temporary files. If you want to permanently remove LSO's, go to your control panel and activate the Flash Player Settings Manager. Change the Local Storage Settings to Block all sites from storing information on this computer. However, most sites with Flash Player videos will not work with this setting.

I want to remove flash player settings manager from my Windows Laptop, How is it done?

I want to completely remove Flash player, plug-in and settings manger.
I can uninstall player & plug-in, but settings manager remains.
I want it gone.

Where is the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manage?

I want to get rid of "Press escape to exit full screen mode." You tell me to go to "Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager." Where is this?

I am not sure what the instructions may be that you are following.
For FlashPlayer control panel try this
* http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
The link should actually open the control panel.

Flash Player Background Updater does not work

Since FP 11.2 I was expecting all our workstations to update Flash Player automatically when an update is released. However since FP 11.3 was released a few days ago, all our users have been prompted to install the new version every day.
Just to confirm we have "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" selected in Flash Player Settings Manager.
Is this the correct behaviour or am I missing something?

You don't say on what Mac, and you haven't actually asked a question, but perhaps this might be helpful:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Flash Player Settings Manager - Text Missing

I am running Windows XP Professional on several machines. When I launch the "Flash Player Settings Manager" Control Panel applet, I have noticed some missing text in the line items with radio buttons. This is happening on all of my computers. For example, under the "Storage" tab, here is what I see...
Notice that at the end of each of the lines with radio buttons, it stops at "this" rather than "this computer" as it should. On all four of the tabs, each of the lines that have a radio button is missing the last word.
After a bit of trial and error, I figured out the cause of this problem - I just don't have a solution. Under the "Display" Control Panel applet, I am running the "Windows Classic" theme rather than the default "Windows XP" theme (I don't care for the "cartooney" look). Anyway, I run all of my computers like this. When I change to the "Windows XP" theme, the text is displayed correctly...
I wanted to see if anyone else can replicate this. If so, hopefully Adobe can fix this in a future release.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the excellent bug report! I really appreciate the level of detail you gave (I love screenshots) and providing others with a workaround. I wanted to let you know that this is a known issue (our internal bug number is 2876437) and it should be fixed in our next scheduled release. Please feel free to ping me anytime for future updates.
Thanks,

No prompt to update when Flash Player Settings Manager is set to check for updates automatically

My understading of http://forums.adobe.com/message/3562892#3562892 (March 2011) is that when an outdated version of the Player is used on Windows, the prompt to update should occur after the next restart of the operating system.
So, when http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in Safari for Windows shows an outdated version 10.x of the Player:
I restart Windows
I log on
I wait a few minutes.
Problem
Usually, no matter how long I wait, there is no prompt to update; Flash Player Settings Manager continues to show an outdated plug-in alongside a greater version of the ActiveX item.
I see this problem with multiple computers running Windows XP and Windows 7.
Any suggestions?

Flash Player checks for updates every 7 days. The NCP doesn’t change this. Where the user in that post is getting confused is that only after Flash Player detected an update (on average 3.5 days after a new version is released), the dialog will appear after a restart.

Flash player 11.5 does not open background pictures of my website

Flash player 11.5 does not open background pictures of my website scilang.com as well as many others'. 11.4 is ok. However, 11.5 has really messed it up.
I tried it with IE9, Chrome, Firefox. No. No with Flash Player 11.5. Why are such things happening all the time?

I can't comment publicly on dates for future releases, sorry.
For users that have selected "Allow Adobe to Install Updates" during installation, they will automatically get the update as soon as it becomes available. There is some lag in uptake in general (we're really only about halfway into the adoption curve for Flash Player 11.5), so the problem won't be resolved overnight. If you have access to the source, you may want to update your content temporarily to work around the issue. If it's just a generic slideshow, you might want to consider replacing it with an AS3-based alternative. Lightroom distributes a nice flash-based slideshow, for instance.
There are a couple actionscript-based workarounds you can implement in your content until the next Flash Player 11.5 maintenance release has been deployed to the general release audience.
There's one workaround here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4841531#4841531#4841531
The root of the issue is that the onEnterFrame event isn't getting emitted by MovieClips that embed JPEGs in ActionScript 2 content. This was an unfortunate side-effect of an unrelated graphics optimization. We have tests that check that onEnterFrame is emitted, and that JPEGs are rendered, but not one where we confirm that a SWF embedding a JPEG emits an onEnterFrame event. Because the change was isolated to AS2, we didn't see it in our manual URL testing either, as that testing tends to focus on the most popular sites on the web, which usually host newer AS3-based content. We've added tests to cover this case to prevent it from breaking again in the future.
Anyway, apologies again for the inconvenience. Hopefully this information will help you workaround the problem until the next update goes out.
