Flash player v9 plugin problems

Hi all
I'm new to this forum :)
I have found a problem with the Flash player v9 executing the
getURL button actionscript.
I created a button (I'm using mx2004) with a simple getURL
script attached to it...
now when I test the movie the script works fine (stand alone
swf),
its only when I put the swf in a HTML page and view it with
v9 player that the button will not open a new window in IE or
Firefox.
I then tested the same file on a machine with v7 player and
it works fine.
Am I the only one with this problem??
Could someone else try this and tell me what happens on their
machine please:)
I need to know I'm not going mad!!

"The following solution involves the Windows System Registry.

choose to proceed it is essential to create a complete system
backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding. Adobe

This warning stopped me and caused me to turn to Adobe for
support. I am a home user and dumb. I have never backed up. I don't
know what a Windows System Restore Point is. I never heard of the
registry before this incident.
My problems began a couple of months ago. My wild guess is I
had IE 7 beta installed and your install program was not compatible
and died.

Flash Player 8 plugin problem, can get Flash content on Safari

I've been trying to install the Flash Player 8 OSX plugin on my Mac but it's not installing, ie when the installation is success a Flash Player logo is supposed to appear on the Macromedia web page and this hasn't happened.
I tested the Flash Player 8 plugin download on my PowerBook G4 and the installation was a success on my Safari Browser where I can view still view sites with Flash Plugins.
MacBook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Flash Player comes pre-installed on the MacBook. You have just overwritten the Universal version with a PowerPC version that, as you are now seeing, just plain doesn't work.
There is a thread that talks about replacing the files that you installed by mistake with the original Flash Player files. If you search I'm sure you will find it.

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

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

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

Adobe Flash Player 11 plugin not working right

I have Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, Widows Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Windows XP, version 5.1.2600. Why is it not dowloading pictures?

You might as well stop wasting your time. The problem seems to be centered around FireFox (since Adobe Flash seems to work fine with IE and Chrome). After FireFox begin running Flash as a separate process, it no longer retains preset volume settings for Flash, instead, each new FireFox window resets it to max volume. As a result, several times I've had my ears blasted (this can lead to hearing loss and/or damaged audio equipment). This only happens with newer versions of Flash. Consequently, I no longer use the latest versions in FireFox. I'm thinking about totally dropping FireFox and moving completely to Chrome. Looks like neither Adobe or FireFox are gonna budge to fix the problem.

Distribution MSI for Adobe Flash Player for Plugin Browser

The MSI File provided for distributing Adobe Flash Player for Plugin based browsers (in this case Firefox) is not working when we test in our test environment.
It is working with the Windows XP Clients in the test group however it does not work with the Windows 7 Client Machines. Firefox prompts for a manual download of the adobe flash software. After the manual install of the Software flash player is working but there is a new item in the program catalog. Adobe Flash Player Plugin it's size is 6.00MB. Comparatively the size that is installed by the MSI is 16.xxMB and it doesnt work.
What I have tested
WSUS Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
Client Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
Intercept EXE from Temp Directory and then install after uninstalling MSI - Works
The problem appears to be in the MSI, like I said before it is working for the Windows XP Clients. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Anand,
If you have licensed Flash Player for distribution (which appears to be what you are doing), you should have received an email with the download links for the installers. If you are distributing Flash Player without first licensing it for such, you must apply for a distribution license at Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. Once you do this, you will receive an email with the links to download Flash Player.
Further information on licensing, and distributing Flash Player within your organization is available in the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.

I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
(This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

FLASH PLAYER MISSING PLUGIN PLEASE HELP!!

Since the Last Safari Update,I've been constantly getting a missing plugin message whenever FlashPlayer was required.
I have tried uninstaling/installing FlashPlayer from the adobe website. But still always asked to download the latest version.And later did disk permission repair/check, nothing worked. I even disabled som of the plugins i had read in the discussion that might cause some problems such as the java cocoa plugin, but flash player's plugin is still missing.
PLEASE HELP!

Latest version of Flash is 10.3.181.26
It installs in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet plug-ins and is available to all browsers.
Make sure you're getting the right one; there is one for Firefox, Safari and Opera and a seperate one for Chrome.
Best to install with all browsers closed (note - you have to open and authorise the installer - it doesn't install automatically on download).
If a browser's open, quit and reopen it to enable the plug-in.
Be wary of error messages claiming you don't have the right plug-in. Don't follow links from them, they're often used to redirect you to malware sites.
And ensure JavaScript is enabled when trying to view Flash; it won't work without it.

Adobe Flash Player 10 PlugIn

Firefox 6.0.2
Windows 7 64 bit
I installed Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin today. When I go to Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features it indicates that I have the new program as well as Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX. Should I delete Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX?
Where can I find Flash Player 10 Plugin on my computer?
Thank you.

The ActiveX version of Flash Player is used for Internet Explorer. Unless you really don't need it, I'd suggest keeping it installed. You won't find Flash Player in your start menu, but the actual files can be found here:
Windows 32 bit: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Windows 64 bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

Cs4 / win7 install stalls flash player 10 plugin--how to fix?

I am transferring Creative Suite to a new computer, Win7. I have CS3 with a CS4 upgrade. The CS4 upgrade install window is stalling halfway thru, on 'currently installing flash player 10 plugin'. Any suggestions? Do I have to quit and uninstall everything so far, just retry the install, or is there some other workaround?

Uninstall Flash Player separately from your Add or Remove Programs panel. it chokes, because there is already a newer version on your system and you need to get rid of it first. You may even go so far as to unistall everything Adobe and delete the caps.db as explained here.

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube site.
I don't really know if it's a Flash Player problem or a Youtube one but Youtube used to work fine back in like 3-4 months ago, now it doesn't anymore.
The issues I encounter with Flash player on Youtube are as follows:
First issue is the fact that after the video completely loads or it loads a big part of it then I click on the seek bar to jump at a specific time that has been already downloaded by the Flash player the video starts loading again from that point on like it didn't actually downloaded that part before. This issue causes big bandwith use since it downloads many many times the same portions of the clip that it has already loaded before dozens of time. If I play a 3 min music clip and click replay or point on the seek bar at the begining of the clip to play it again it loads/downloads the clip again and again and again. If the video clip has over 1 hour then I click play it might entirely load into the player in a few minutes then I click on the seek bar to skip at a certain point it starts loading again from that point on. This is the most anoying thing I encounter with Youtube lately.
Second issue is the fact that if I click on the seek bar of the player to skip to a specific time most of the time the playback does not start from that point on but it skips back to the last point where it was so I must click several times or keep the mouse button pressed for a long time on the same point in order to play from that place on. This one is again very anoying.
Third issue is that after the video starts playing in 360p it automatically changes to 720p after a minute or so even if I had checked this setting "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" in Youtube Playback Settings. I cleared the cookies and chosed several times the same "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" setting in Youtube Playback Settings but it just doesn't keep the settings on. This one is again very anoying since my computer can't handle well 720p.
I have reinstalled Win XP SP3 and even installed Win 7 SP1 tried several versions of Flash Player and several versions of Firefox, Chrome and Opera but the same issues occur everytime.
I haven't encounter any of these issues before like 3-4 months ago.

I have had problems trying to watch videos on youtube for the past couple of years. It's been almost unbearable, even if I set the resolution to 144kb! Then a few days ago, I went to youtube and couldn't watch at all. There was an error showing that my Flashplayer was out of date, and then a link to Firefox to get the right update. I did that two times to no avail. I had just installed the newest version of Flash Player as of November 2014, yet this error kept popping up. Finally, out of utter frustration, I did like you did, and uninstalled everything related to Adobe Flash. Then I went to youtube, just to see how bad the result would be, and suddenly videos started playing smoother, at higher resolution, and with faster buffering to start out. Sure, there are some videos that I can't play, and the newest iTunes seemed to have issues without having Flash, but videos aren't frustrating me like they had been on youtube.
So, yeah, I know what you're saying. I had the same solution work for me. Cheers.

McAfee installed with Adobe Flash Player 12 plugin update

Why did McAfee Security Scan Plus install when I updated Adobe Flash Player 12 plugin?

As I said in my first post, I not only saw this "no opt out" bundling myself, but I screencapped it and documented it.
That was... wait for it... LAST JULY.
If anyone had the intention of ending it, they would have by now.
THIS is the reason I always update EVERYTHING (Windows, OS X, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS5.5 and CS6, Office, Roxio... you name it) manually.
Microsoft keeps trying to push 8.1 and their %&#*'ing "Bing Desktop" with EVERY Windows Update, even though I've hidden both mutlitple times. You can't even update Java without the freakin' "Ask Toolbar" being pushed at you.
I know I'm not going to change it, so I changed my process for updating stuff.

Plugin-container / Flash Player CPU Usage Problem

Watching Twitch.tv stream and I am constantly having problems where my CPU locks up at 100%.
Was using chrome with this problem also. Was hoping the switch to Firefox would resolve it.

Hello and quiet the cause of this problem is momentary launched firefox version is a Beta test and this problem is hovering lately in our Pc `S.te suggest you're frequently updated on our firefox.Te DepNet.com for the promise that this next vercion will be better with all their efficiencies.
Of course I recommend two (2) options.
1.-update plugin Flash player to the latest version.
2.-In when you leave the vercion but suffers of firefox installed.
And apologies if our products caused you discomfort. Do not worry the solution will come soon. =)

Missing files in flash player 9 plugin debugger installer?

Hello all. I've been trying for some time to use the ExternalInterface.call method in flash, to no avail (see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7...ipt-javascript here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8...rface-in-flash and here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8...-firefox-linux) and now I'm trying to trace ExternalInterface.available. So far my best option seems to be FlashTracer for firefox, except that I have to have flash player 9 installed. I've removed my old flash player and downloaded the appropriate files (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/f...nux_dev.tar.gz). According to the readme included these are the steps for installation:
Installing the debugger plugin tar.gz using Install script:
o the debugger plugin is located at:
./plugin/debugger/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
o Unpack the tar.gz file
o In terminal, navigate to the unpacked directory and enter:
+ $ ./flashplayer-installer
+ Click Enter key and follow prompts
except there's no file called flashplayer in the debugger directory. Anyone else ran into this? How can I install flash player 9 debugger on my Ubuntu system?

Hmmm. I'm running into similar problems with flashplayer 10. Except I don't even have a directory to navigate to. I just posted about this... and no one was able to help you since May? Man, that is seriously unencouraging!
