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.

Archived flash player version with Win 8.1

I'm using Firefox version 37.0.1 and Win 8.1 and am having some difficulty with installing a version of flash player that is not the most recent version. I currently have flash player 17.0.0.134 installed and have lost some functionality with extensions which is why I wish to use an older version. When I use the flash player uninstaller and use the 'Check Now' button on https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html I am told that there is no version of flash player installed, however, when I try to install flash player version 16.0.0.35 from the flash archives I get the message "This version of flash player is older than the version currently installed" and the installation process halts. Is there a way to find which version of flash player were previously installed and use the corresponding uninstallers? Is there an additional step to uninstalling flash player for Win 8.1? I'd really like to be able to roll back to the previous version please. Thank you.

It doesn't make a lot of sense that a Flash Player upgrade would affect a third-party Firefox extension. There's no way for other plugins to hook into Flash unless you've disabled ProtectedMode (which is also a bad idea from a security perspective), and we don't hook into other plugins. I'm wondering if maybe some internal Firefox configuration files might have been corrupted.
Are you running the right installer when you download the Archives? There's an ActiveX installer for Internet Explorer, and an NPAPI plug-in installer for Firefox.
If you need to run an older version, you're way better off using the Extended Support Release. It's an old feature branch, but with all the security fixes between now and then. We updated it in parallel with our current release.
Just scroll down to the Extended Support Release section and choose the second row - EXE installer for plug-in based browsers:
Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe
Once you've run that installer, if you still don't see Flash Player, then my guess there's either a bad registry entry or Firefox config file in play.
It won't do a lot of good trying to fix it if the filesystem is in a wonky state, so it's worth ruling that out first:
Caveat: Sometimes corrupted software is an early indicator that your disk is going bad. It's wise to ensure that you have current working backups, especially if you have anything important on the machine. Checking the disk for problems is a relatively safe operation, but will also give the disk a workout. If it's on it's way out, you may not get a lot of additional warning.
Checking the disk for errors:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2641432
At that point, if you identified problems and fixed them, but things still don't work, it's time to uninstall both Flash Player and Firefox and reinstall from pristine sources.
If you're still stuck, let me know.

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

Issue with latest Flash Player version when replaying videos

I am using an older version of JWplayer "5.10.2295" in a lot of sites and it was working fine so far. Since the latest version of Flash Player came out the videos can't be played a second time on any browser on Windows. It is working fine for me on Mac - quickly tested in Firefox (Nightly) and Safari (latest stable).
Reverting to an older version showed that everything was working fine before. I tried the latest 13 and 14 from Archived Flash Player versions
Has this kind of issue been reported already? Any change in the upcoming beta that might fix this?
Thanks,
Albert

I uninstalled FP following the steps on Uninstall Flash Player | Windows and installed 'flashplayer15_install_win_pi/ax/ppapi.exe' from Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs instead.

Flash Player output in Captivate 5

I have a module built using Captivate 5 that works fine on my PC. I have Flash Player 10.0.32 installed on my PC.
Even though I set the output as Flash 9 when publishing the module, it does not work for people who have Flash Player version 9.0.16. Those who have 10.0.32 installed can move past the first screen of the module.
When Adobe says publish to "Flash Player 9" does it include this version of Flash Player 9??
Thanks.

When you select the Flash Player in Captivate you basically "target" that version. It is not included in the project and will not automatically be installed on the users machine.
The functionality is usually used when you publish stuff that goes into a corporate environment that use a lower version of the Flash Player.
In Flash - The different version of the Flash Player support different things. The higher the FP version the more stuff is supported. If I create something in Flash and use a function that is only available in Flash Player 10 then I will not be able to publish it to Flash Player 9.
Perhaps this detection does not work in Captivate 5 - did you use something special in your project? Any widgets, text animation or other out of the ordinary stuff?

I've had a problem installing Adobe Flash Player; also with Firefox. Tried to download a new FF; it goes crazy! keeps repeating an opening page! Now I don't have FF installed, or Flashplayer, and I think these problems are connected. Help!

Mac OSX 10.5.8 system. Problems have been ongoing with the Firefox I had installed a while ago: would open browser in Safari, and FF would take over; keep asking me to personalize my browser program. In truth, Firefox was kind of "taking over", and I wasn't happy with it. Usually open the internet in Safari.
Present problems started with trying to download, install and open a few new games. Kept telling me I needed to install Adobe Flashplayer. I could download it, but it wouldn't install. Downloaded both the Flashplayer installer AND the Flashplayer uninstaller a number of times. Today, I decided to get rid of the Firefox on my hard drive and download a newer version - then try again to download Flashplayer and install. The new FF download just kept opening a new browser page.

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?

'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'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!

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,

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

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.

Does the last flash player version works correctly for Adobe portofolio file?

I have a problem with some Adobe Acrobat portofolio files, they were created some months ago with Acrobat X pro version but right now can not be opened.
The first message that appears is:
"To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat"
When I select the option for more info appears:
Online content cannot be displayed.
I installed the most recently Flash player version but the problem is the same
Actual Flash player installed version: 11.7.700.202
OS: Windows XP 32 bits
Browser : Internet Explorer version 8.0.6001
Somebody have any idea?
Please let me know, these files are really important for my work.

There is a separate installer for using Flash with Acrobat.
