Flash Player Version Detection

FB3 deploys a Flash or Flex project with AC_OETags.js. The first line of that file is
// Flash Player Version Detection - Rev 1.6
If you are using FB4 or any product newer than FB3 could you compare the AC_OETags.js file?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Thats helpful.
The FB3 app deployment included:
AC_OETags.js
history/history.css
history/history/.js
history/historyFrame.html
playerProductInstall.swf
js in the head of the html wrapper
// in the head
// Globals ...
// js in the body
AC_FL_RunContent() ...
How does the new deployment compare?

Server-side flash player version detection

Does anyone know of a method to pull the users flash-player
version number (the entire thing, not just
">6" or "9" but
"9,0,115,0") that does not use browserhawk. We
are building a troubleshooting page for our LMS built on ASP.net,
and do not want to use javascript, or vbscript to pull the version
number. We can use a javascript method if absolutely necessary, but
want to explore any server-side methods we can use first. We don't
want to use browserhawk as it is wholly too expensive for our
purposes.

I have done that temporarily, but we were hoping to do this
without placing a Flash SWF on the page. We are building a
troubleshooting page, and want to keep as many variables out of the
calculations as we can. IE, if Javascript is the issue, then a
Javascript to tell us the Flash version would be a bad idea. If
Flash is the issue, then a flash element would be a bad idea. If we
keep all of the calculations on the server-side, and not on the
client-side, then we know that nothing of the clients is messing
with the information displayed.

Prevent Flash player version detection

I have the same single flash movie (scrolling banner) on each
of the 12 pages of my CD based 'website'. When the webpage first
loads the user is prompted to say yes to the message; 'Are you sure
that you want to allow CDs to run active content on your
computer?'. Even when the 'In the future, do not show this
message.' checkbox is ticked I still have to press Yes 18 times
before my page loads. When I navigate to another page the message
appears again and Yes has to be pressed 10 times before the new
page loads. Obviously a microsoft bug that will quickly put off the
user.
I assume that I only need the code that checks Flash plugin
and version once in my whole website - preferably on my homepage
which is always loaded first (not for each movie on each page. As I
am not sure exactly which code to remove I tried using the Remove
Flash Video Detection option from the Commands menu however it is
grayed out. Does anyone have any idea why this is not enabled or
how I can improve this whole situation so the user is never or only
once asked re active content.
Should I publish the Flash movie as an older version to avoid
the user having to download the latest version of the Flash plugin,
or will this not prevent the message? As this site is CD based the
user may not be connected to the web.
Using Dreamweaver CS3 and Flash CS3.
Thanks

I have had to remove this mark of the web line of code as it
does in fact disable all links to my pdfs, as you mentioned.
I am extrememly annoyed with Microsoft over this as it is
very unlikely to ever get unsafe content from a CD compared with
the web / email.
So I am stuck again with a web interface for my CD content
that is unworkable in that it asks whether the user wants to run
active content 15 times at the start (when CD autoruns) and again
this many times each page change. Even when the little tick box is
checked to no show the message in future it still asks repeatedly.
My site contains 2 flash movies and 42 collapsible panels.
Can anyone please suggest any other methods whereby the user
does not have to change any settings or click many active content
messages?
Cheers

Detect flash player version of published SWF

Hi I have a swf file (let say child.swf).
Once It loaded I want to know parent swf was published on flash player 9 or flash player 10. How to find that?
Question:
1)parent.swf loades child.swf
2)after child.swf loaded --> need to check parent.swf is published on flash player 9 or 10.
3)if parent.swf published on flash player 9 then child.swf will run a function
4)if parent.swf published on flash player 10 then child.swf will run some other function.
On the above for the based on the 2nd point question 3 or 4 will happen.
On the above case I have only one parent... In some other case I may have multiple parents. My question to how to detect top most player's published version?
Note:
Capabilities.version returns current flash player version which is installed on browser (it is not help my question)
The following link has infomation about As version used on the swf (it is not help my qeuestion)

Any Idea guys?

Command line to detect installed flash player version

Hi All,
Happy New Year to you all.
I have one desktop application (Flash Director/C++) for which I am developing Windows installer script. I am facing some problem developing the installer script regarding installed Flash Player version. When I am running the script, it is overriding the already installed Flash player irrespective of the version.
Is there any command line (for Windows script) to know the version of the Flash player prior to install the installer contained Flash player so that I can check before pushing the installer Flash player?
I would appreciate your quick reply.
Thanks in advance.
Sanjoy.

Can anyone please give some inputs on this query?

How do I get a user to update to the Flash Player Version to 10.1

I would like to find out if there is a way for a message to pop up on my website if the user has Flash Player version lower than 10.1. If the version 10.1 or higher (in the future) no message should come up. The message should prompt a user to update to the Flash Player version 10.1.
My entire site is in Flash and I am using AS3. So I am guessing I should implement an AS3 code on the first frame of the script layer. Does anyone know what would be this code?

O.K. I see,
HTML code is automatically generated by Flash program.
I am unable to give you a short answer on this and thus attaching the code I
see in DreamWeaver:

flashVer = 3;
// older WebTV supports Flash 2

I need the Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.64plug in on my MacAir to view Ustream videos. Adobe message says the version is for Intel-based Macs with Safari; also says that I "may have to temporarily disable antivirus software. is it safe to download?

Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228), go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

Adobe Flash Player, version 10.1.102.64 installed, but I cannot access FP dependent applications

Adobe Flash Player, version 10.1.102.64 is installed, but I cannot access FP dependent applications (such as those on Facebook.)
I used the link you previously provided http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
to download the FP .exe and it worked for 2 days, but is no longer working and I'm getting the same message for both Mozilla & IE. The only things I recall doing prior to FP not working again was 1) sign up for G Mail & 2) I used Save As to dwld a number of Images from Google. I also rolled back my PC a day, but that has not fixed the issue. I get the error both in IE & Mozilla.
I've reviewed HK Local Machine/Software/Adobe, but there is no file folder for Flash Player under HK HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Adobe {though there are folders for Shockwave, etc.) Does anyone know the KEYS for Flash Player, that I could add manually?
System Information:
Win XP Home, SP 2
IE 8.0.6001.18702
Mozilla 3.6.12
Flash Player 10.1.102.64
Thanks for any & all help!
Sidney

Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?
Does it show some version information under it?
Is Shockwave Flash object enabled in IE and FF?
What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash?
Do you know that XP SP2 is no longer a supported OS?

'To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed'?

I have recently downloaded the newest version of flash player (version 11.9.900.117) and it is working fine with things like Youtube. However some websites that use flash player are coming up with the error message 'To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed'? I dont understand why this is happening as the version I have is 11.9.900.117 for Internet Explorer?? Please help this is driving me crazy!!!

Exactly the same problem with me, and (apart from basic fix issues like disabling ActiveX filtering, etc) no-one seems to know a solution.
OS: Win 7 64 bit
Browser: IE 10
Flash v: 11.9.900.117 (but problem continued after reverting to earlier versions with proper clean uninstalls of 11.9).
I do note that at around the time the trouble started, Google Chrome did some (background) updates, including its embedded version of this latest flash. But if the others (above) don't also have Chrome, that is clearly not the issue. Perhaps it's a registry issue?

I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 why do my YouTube and other videos keep stopping

I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 which is the latest version. can anybody tell me why my YouTube and videos stop and I cannot view them I have a macbook pro with retina display late 2012 and I am running OSX 10.8.4. Do I need some other flash to view or what thanks for your time.

noelenefromashford,
I'm in the same boat. Safari 6.0.5, stalls, and stops playing video (youtube, vimeo, etc). I tried the same videos with Firefox and they play fine!
Running 10.8.4 on Mac tower.
I just switched from an older Macbook Pro 15" with the same OS version and browsers , and never had that issue. What gives?

Tmy linus computer is not letting me update the latest Adobe flash player version 10.3.183.7

i have a Asus eee 701 computer running Linux and using firefox 3.0.4 but i could not download the latest Adobe flash player version 10.3.183.7 i still using the old version flash player 10,0,22,87 i don't know what to do please help

What distribution of Linux are you using? You might want to post on their forum to see if any of their users have suggestions.

Hi, So that didn't help with the KIS 2010 version. Did you see my first paragraph in post #10? Any other program that would perhaps have an add on also?
Also, if this 2010 vs has any add ons, plugins or extenstions in FF, I would disable them for the time being.
When you right click on the KIS icon in your system tray, take a look around to see all of the components. You might try to turn off all of the components. Then enable one, check your site, enable another one, check your site and so on. It could be just one conponent that is conflicting.
Now the other thing to do is Use FF and disable every addon, plugin and extenstion EXCEPT SWF and see what happens when you try the site.
KIS is conflicting with something in FF and if you have a lot of add ons(I include plugins & extensions) then trying one at a time is the only way you will find out which one it is.
Thanks,

Flash Player version with Captivate 7

The publish option (for swf) on Captivate 7 starts at Flash Player version 10.
Does that mean if you had content working perfectly well on Flash Player 9 in a previous version of Captivate, and you import it into Captivate 7 it now needs the learner to upgrade their Flash Player?
I am currently developing content (on Captivate 7) in a global company where forcing IT to upgrade all the flash to version 10 world-wide is out of the question.
So I'm tempted to edit the manifest and set the minimum Flash Player back to 9.
Am I heading into trouble?
Or is there just some feature of Captivate 7 I need to avoid using?

Editing the manifest file of the SCORM package is NOT going to get you out of trouble if the SWFs in that package are not compatible with a Flash Player version below 10. If Captivate 7 is using tags or code inside the SWFs it creates that can only work on FP10 then your end users would NEED to have FP10.
Since Captivate 7 has only just been released, you cannot have gone too far down the road of developing this content. I would recommend you get this sorted out BEFORE you create mountains of content that your end users may not be able to view on their FP version. Upgrade an entire course to Captivate 7 format and test it thoroughly on end users from your company. If it turns out your content doesn't run perfectly, then you may need to roll back to Cp6x to continue with this client.
