Flash Player Version Shown Below Every Flash Object

Is there some reason that the Flash Player version is shown below every Flash object on every website page that it appears? This didn't happen in older versions. There are times when it obscures content on a site. Is there a way to diable it?
Thanks.

Newbie question, object stays underneath every other object on the layer?

I'm trying to create a logo with a glass shine and shadfows. Now there something funny. On one layer an object stays beneath every layer. While doing so in the layers panel the object is placed on top. Tried ctrl_x and then ctrl-f but the object stays below every other object. But in the layer panel its placed on top???
TIA

The layer itself is normal 100% opacity. Now the black object stays behind all the other objects...

Adobe Flash Player not working--Shockwave Flash Object not installing

Ok...let's try this again. Somehow my previous discussion that I had been working on with eidnolb got marked as "Answered" when it wasn't. If you are reading this and are also having problems with Adobe Flash Player, please START YOUR OWN THREAD! That allows someone to help you individually and will hopefully prevent MY question from being accidentally marked as "Answered" when it's not. THANK YOU!
Now to start the whole process over....
1. When I download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, my computer says it's succesful. I'm able to verify through Add/Remove Programs that it IS on the computer. However, when I'm on a site that requires AFP--like Hulu or YouTube--I get a message that says I need to download the latest version.
2. When I was working with eidnolb before, we found that for some reason the Shockwave Flash Object wasn't on my computer, even though I uninstalled and installed AFP several times and also restarted my computer.
3. I use Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8. My computer also has AVG 9.0.830 for anti-virus protection and Spyware Blaster. The only firewall I use is the standard Microsoft firewall that came already installed.
4. I am the administrator on my computer. I have also made sure the following are disabled when I download AFP: anti-virus program, anti-spyware program, firewall, all add-ons in Explorer, and any messenger programs.
Thank you to whomever is available and willing to help me. I truly appreciate it!

I had this problem too. I'm not an expert with this at all, but Adobe Support at:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
said that if you try to use Flashplayer with Internet Explorer 8 (64 bit) it won't work and you'll just keep getting the message to "Install Flashplayer" over and over even if you can see in your files that you already have it installed. They told me to use the 32 bit version of IE 8, or another browser such as Mozilla Foxfire or Google Chrome (both of which are 32 bit). Now I can watch Hulu with any of these three browsers. I didn't have to turn of AVG at all; but I have AVG 2011 Free Version 10.0.1170 downloaded from http://www.download.com . Also, according to the first website shown above, you don't have the latest version of Flashplayer, which is recommended by Adobe.

Warning: Your Adobe Flash Player version is outdated. (false error message)

When I get this false error message and click on the link, Adobe tells me my current Flash Player version is 11.9.900.170 and "Your system is: Windows 64-bit, English". I actually have an iMac with OSX 10.7.5, and Adobe Flash Player 11.9.900.170 already installed. I've reinstalled, deleted Flash Player completely and reinstalled several times and yet I continue getting these false "Windows 64-bit" update needed error messages for my iMac computer. How do I stop these false error messages?

I'm having a similar issue on both my Macbook Pro (OSX Mavericks), my iPhone 5S (iOS 7.0.4) and my wife's iPhone 5C (iOS 7.0.4). It happens on almost every site I viisit and when I launch some apps. I've cleared histories, caches and turned Javascript on/off. Also, get the "warning" when I use Chrome for iOS. I've added an image below of what it looks like on my phone. I'm attempting a factory restore on my 5S. I'll let you know if it helps.

When will the version 11 release in "Archived Flash Player versions" website

Dear Adobe:
I wonder know when will the version 11 release in "Archived Flash Player versions" website: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
The newest version in this website is 10.3.183.10, as shown below:
I want to integrate the verion 11 with my project, but I cann't find it.
And I don't need the debug versions like "Flash Player 11.0 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE)". I need the released version.
Is there anyone who can help me? Thank you!

I'm not clear what you meant by integrating FP11 to your project. What specifically are you looking for?
To get the latest Release version of Flash Player 11, you can go the this site for the browser that you want to update: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If you are a Flash Developer you might want to grab debugger build from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Hope this helps

My flash player continues to buffer every few seconds after it starts

My flash player continues to buffer every few seconds after it starts, it plays then buffers, plays then buffers. It worked just fine up until a few months ago. I’m not sure what changed. I am running windows vista. I checked the add-ons and the flash player is enabled. I tried turning off the popup blocker. I just downloaded the latest version and no change.
Please help Thank you!

This is the run without permision list. I wish I knew how to get rid of some of this stuff . Just talked to a friend of mine that has the same problem. I also just ran a speed test on youtube and it shows that streaming HTTP is running at an average of less than 100 kbps.

Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated

Hello,
Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated.
I've installed Adobe Flash Player Version 16.0.0.287 (today).
then
I checked on this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/de/flash-player.html
says Flash Player not installed or not activated
Active X Version 16.0.0.287
Internet Explorer 11
Win 7 SP1 32 Bit
Please help me.
Thank you in advance

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

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:

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!

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?

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,
eidnolb

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.

This is in regards to to the flash player version 11.6

well i was wanting to know how do i exactly fix my flash player so i can see any videos play the right way, this flash player 11.6 version is messing up really bad so if any can help me fix this i would appreciate it.

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video

Flash player version

When trying to launch a Flex app I get an error saying I need player version 10.
But I have version 9 debugger installed on all browsers.
I know that the app that I'm trying to launch was developed with Flex Builder 3 (which comes with player version 9), so how did the creators make it run only on version 10?

I don't know exactly what you mean by the "compatibilty thing" of the flash player. But I use Flex Builder 3 every day, having installed Flash player 10,0,32,18 and also debugging flash apps with it when developing.
Older flash apps will still be working with a newer Flash player if you mean this...

Flash Object has no Publisher or Version in IE11 in Windows 8.1

Hello, I have been trying to get flash player to work, and have tried several avenues in Windows 8.1. I have tried enabling Shockwave Flash, tried disabling ActiveX Filtering, re-register the flash.ocx file, resetting IE11, and disabling/re-enabling IE11. Nothing has provided any help with this, but what I believe to be the issue is that the shockwave flash object literally has no information attached to it. No publisher, no version number.
Whenever I try to update internet explorer 8.1 64bit it says its up to date.

Whenever I try to update internet explorer 8.1 64bit it says its up to date.
Another adobe flash help page tells me I have flash preinstalled, and that it is just disabled.
Basically this is all the conclusive information I've gathered. I am trying to find a way to update the flash object, but downloading flash player for windows 8 says I have it preinstalled, and I don't know whether deleting the flash.ocx file is a good idea. If anyone has had these issues or feels knowledgeable about what could be going on that needs to be fixed, please let me know. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Preston,
Firstly, you don't want to delete flash.ocx. Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE, flash.ocx is locked and you can't delete it unless you mess with the permissions, and doing so will render you unable to resinstall IE to get Flash Player back, short of re-installing Windows (or resetting to factory settings, depending on the system you have).
If you've performed all of the suggested troubleshooting steps and Flash content is still not displaying appropriately in IE, it could be that Microsoft is not identifying the browser as IE in the user agent string, which many websites use to determine which browser is in use and display the content based on the browser. Microsoft is continuously modifying the user agent string for IE and websites need to adjust how they identify the browser based on other features, not the user agent string. As a test, using IE, go to What's My User Agent? and post the results here.
