Flash Player Settings Panel Disabled in Chrome

I am running the latest version of Flash 10.1. I disabled the built in version and installed Flash Player manually. I am executing an application that requires me to "allow" peer to peer traffic.
However, when the settings panel comes up for me to click to "Allow peer to peer"... I can't click on the button. The dialog box seems disabled.
Is this a known problem?
My version of Google Chrome is 5.0.375.127
Flash Player Version is 10,1,53,64
Thanks,
Brian.

Hi mirage1959, Post back whether your XP is a 64bit or 32 bit system. Also aside from Chrome, what version of IE do you use and do you use any other browsers? Then have you Installed Flash Player in these other browsers?
In the Chrome browser, what add ons/plugins/extensions are listed?
With that information, I'll be able to give you some directions. This needs cleared up before you do anything else.
Thanks,

Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks
nik

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

Adobe Flash Player settings inside mx:HTML

Hi,
I have been struggleling for 2 days trying to find a solution to this problem. I have an mx:HTML inside an AIR application and isinde this HTML is an address to my server which has a normal php page with the Twilio client for receiving phone calls. Whenever a call comes in, the "Adobe Flash Player Settings" panel pops up asking for authorization for the app to use the microphone.
The problem is that there is no way to click on "allow" or "Remember" or "Advanced" or nothing except the "Close" button which of course denies the usage of the microphone and stops me on my tracks.
I am trying this from an iMac. Can anyone please tell me if there is some Air Application setting or mx:HTML setting that can help me with this issue?
Any other way to achieve this?

Hi,
Sorry to hear that.
The Settings window might pop-up due to insufficient memory allocation, camera/mic adjustments etc.
Can you please look at this page: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html ?
Changing the setting might help you.
With regards,
Prabhu

Yo
I play an online game that uses flash... I usualy play off of Chrome or an app launcher called pokki
the game has been glitching for me lately, i was told by a fellow player that someone put a hack into my computer through this game, infecting a .DLL file associated with Flash player
it doesnt seem to have any effects on the flash player , but has created lots of bugs in game
Also, I cant seem to be able to open the settings for Flash Player through my control panel in the start menu
I click on Flash Player, and nothing loads....If i click on anything else in the control panel, it opens...everything but the flash player..
Ive ran Malware Anti-Malware program and also Ccleaner......cleared all the files that popped up...
But still cant access my flash player settings...I tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling....still nothing
Can anyone helpe me out?

Can you try to open it from a web page; e.g. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html - right-click on the Flash animation and select Global Settings.

Adobe Flash Player Settings on Chrome

I'm trying to understand the settings better and wonder why I have such difficulty changing or applying settings from the Adobe Flash Player Settings Pop-up when I am using Chrome but when I use Firefox or Internet Explorer I have no problem. In Chrome I got to click the crap out of something to get something to change or close. Also the settings pop-up's look different.
Also I noticed the camera settings on Chrome and Internet Explore have an option for Google Camera Adapter 0 and Google Camera Adapter 1. What the heck is Google Camera Adapter, where is it and why do I have two of them

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your prompt response. I found out the Google Camera Adapter is for Google Talk and Google Voice. I may have changed the monitor DPI. I don't think so, but that shouldn't matter. I mean the pop-up window is the same size on all three browsers. I am having this problem while using the following;
TOSHIBA Satellite L305D PSLC8U- 03G01U
FabCam, Version: 1.3 (A Chrome App)
Windows Vista Home Premium Version 6.0 (Build 602: Service Pack 2)
Google Chrome Version 19.0.1084.52 m
Chicony USB 2.0 Camera (Built in)
I think I have this issue on other applications as well. I'll try another and see if thats true

Unable to set Flash Player Settings (Windows)

How to resolve problems with Flash Player Settings; either unable to change anything on the Settings panel, or new settings won't save:
close all browser windows
open Windows Explorer
in the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
in the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there

Hi, thanks for the screenshots. Your IE & FF Flash files are correct. However, the FlashPlayer Trust, I don't often see. From what I can tell this was something similar to the current Settings Manager, but for FP(Flash Player) 8 & 9 from Macromedia. I don't know if it is conflicting with the current Settings Manager or not. Cannot get a clarification on that.
All I can tell you is that most systems that I see have certain Flash files for FF and other browsers and the FlashPlayer Trust is rarely among them. Usually there are 4 Flash files for IE, 4 for FF plus the Flash Player.xpt.
In the IE add ons, did you find the Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx (vs 10.0.45.2) and Enabled?
This will be listed as I've typed it except it may or may not list the version #, but everything else will be listed.
Now on the AVG, do you have the AVG free edition? It and the paid versions also have the LinkScanner, which causes problems. You said you Disabled AVG, did you just right click on the icon in the system tray and disable/turn off/exit?
Or did you Untick the Resident Shield active?
The LinkScanner component consists of 2 features and each needs Disabled.
With Spybot, do you use the Tea Timer?
Since FP is a browser plug-in, anything added to the browser has to be considered.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash Player Settings box Won't Close

Hi! I'm using windows 7, Internet Explorer. For months now nearly every time I try to watch a video the "adobe flash player settings" box pops up with the "allow/deny" screen. Whichever I click, the box won't go away. The whole video will play with that box right in the middle, blocking the screen. How do I close this box? I can't even move it out of the way.
I've searched for an answer, but apparently I'm the only one in the world with this problem because I can't find this topic when I search on google or yahoo.

The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic. Because there are pixels changing around the dialog, we think that something may be obscuring the dialog when you click, so we don't register it as valid.
The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer). The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers. While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience. So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode. Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.

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.
Chris

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.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Just at what site are you getting this message to download instead of the settings panel?

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.

Adobe Flash Player Settings Problem

Hi I'm having problems selecting things inside of "Adobe
Flash Player Settings."
When ever i right click on a flash instance, say a youtube
video and select settings, I get no response from box that appears
no matter where I click. Even when I click close I get no response.
I have a Mac Book Pro running os 10.4.11
I have the newest version of Flash Player 10
I have Java 5
I have tried this in both Firefox and Safari
When I created a new account on my computer and opened
youtube i was able to change settings inside of panel.
Any help would be wonderful I have googled and searched these
forums a million times looking for help and have found nothing
helpful

TWEAK DISCOVERED for Flash Player 10 to save local settings!!
I was digging around in:
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/fpupdatepl/
and I discovered:
Adobe Flash Player.pkg
If you Right Click (or Control + Click) the Package and then select 'Show Package Contents' this will open a new window.
Then navigate to:
Contents/Resources/
There you will find a file:
Adobe Flash Player.info
Open this file with text edit (or your app of choice)
On about the fourth line from the bottom look for:
OverwritePermissions NO
Change this to:
OverwritePermissions YES
A NOTE OF CAUTION
I have not fully tested this change, but did find that after I modified the local settings for the Flash Player, then restarted Safari that the settings remained the same.
Good Luck!

The Adobe Flash Player Settings popup is appearing offscreen in my Flex4 app. How do I stop this?

Hey guys,
I have a page with some html content and my Flex app in the bottom left hand corner. At one point, the Adobe Flash Player Settings popup appears, but I can only just see the top of it, the rest is off screen towards the bottom. I set the height of the application in the opening application tag, to 240. The whole app is visible in the HTML page, but for some reason the background colour of the Flex app goes past its height and width properties. This is probably causing the Flash Player Settings popup problems right?
Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the user can interact with the popup? Thanks for reading.

Thanks Mike, Problem continues if I uninstall Adobe Flash
Player....scanning computer now for malware.....amazing that the malware
uses Adobe Flash Player even thought my control panel says the player does
not exist. Adds are not too bad but I do not like something going on out
my control....what else is up??? That kind thing. Will let you know when
problem is solved, best, Allen Bealle

Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage popup from Mafia Wars on Facebook.

I play Mafia Wars on Facebook. I use Mac OS 10.6.5, Flash Player 10.1, and Firefox 3.6.8. Some time ago I received a popup from Zynga entitled Adobe Flash Player Settings, Local Storage asking permission to store info on my harddrive and giving me the option to allow or deny the request. However the popup is stuck; that popup will not go away.
I have contacted Zynga, followed their instructions, and have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player. all with no success. When I play this game on other computers, including PCs, that popup is not there which leads me to the conclusion that the file is on my Mac hard drive somewhere and has nothing to do with the game itself. Please tell me how to find this file so that I may delete it. It spoils my enjoyment of the game because it limits what I can do in the game.
Thanks loads.

Hi, I would go to the Global Settings site here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
I would click on the website that gave you the popup and delete that website. Perhaps this will clear it since it is stuck.
When you visit that website again, it will problably ask to store info. Be sure to read about the Website Storage Settings Panel and how it works with the Global Storage Settings Panel.
Thanks,
eidnolb
P.S. If Flash Player is working, there is no need to Uninstall and Install it again. The games and Facebook will try to always tell you something is wrong with Flash Player. Clearly it was working until their pop up stuck, right?

Why is it impossible to select options in the flash player settings

I just installed FP 11.8.800. and tried to activate a camera for a netStream. When the flsh player settings panel came up, none of the buttons responded to mouse clicks in Firefox or Chrome. It does not work either if you tab through and try to activate the highlighed option with enter. What is wrong with it? Working on an Asus G73 64 bit laptop

Unfortunately, one of the security threats that we face in the modern security landscape is an attack against the browser and plug-in user interface called ClickJacking.
In short, we have to do a bunch of math and guessing to ensure that the clicks on the buttons in the settings manager are authentic, and not a result of someone tricking you into clicking by obscuring the dialog by placing something innocuous-looking on top of it, or programmatically generating the clicks. When you click on that box, we actually take a screenshot of the region, compare it against what we believe is rendered there, and if the two don't match, we don't accept the click.
Because we're not directly getting the input (the browser gets it and passes it along to us), we have imperfect insight into the origin and nature of the events that get passed in. This is one of those classic "garbage in, garbage out" situations.
The optimal solution would be to let the browser handle all of the user interface stuff because it does have authoritative insight, but there are a whole set of reasons (mostly backwards compatibility and platform fragmentation related) for why that isn't feasible in the short-term.
The problem is typically that you have a video playing, or something moving underneath the dialog such that the pixels around the dialog have changed between when you clicked and when we do that authenticity comparison, or there's a subtle rounding bug in the math that only happens at a specific resolution. Changing your resolution temporarily will usually get you around the problem, but we're not saying that it's a good solution.
If you can tell me what your display resolution is, and point me to the website where you're having the problem, I'll try and reproduce it and get a bug filed.
Also, there is frequently an "active" spot on the button in this situation, but it's too small. If you just try clicking around all over the button, and/or launching the settings manager in a different spot so that the stuff around the dialog window is less likely to change over time, you can probably get around it without changing resolutions.
Thanks!

Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage dialogue box

An 'Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage' dialogue box has recently began appearing (since upgrading to latest version of FP) whenever I play a vid e.g. on YouTube. It gives a URL (not always the same one) and says it 'is requesting permission to share info on your computer' with two buttons for Allow and Deny. With all the recent concerns about hackers getting in on the back of plug-ins and add-ons such as Flash Player, I've been clicking Deny. Is it safe to 'Allow' and is this part of the Adobe FP software? If its not safe and my computer has been compromised, what can I do to clean my PC? Many thanks.

You can control the way Flash behaves using the Global Settings Manager. The panel you see there are the actual settings on your own machine. Use the menus on the left to load other panels. The Help files explain what each setting does.
