Flash security settings not coming up in Firefox 17.0

Hi I have been successfully running my web project on Firefox browser till now.
I am using adobe flash 11.5 version in my project and i am using the same for recording audio and video from webcam and the headsets.
Before today everything was working quite good ,until..
I updated my firefox browser to version 17.0 and found that my flash security settings just vanished in the thin air.
I mean my flash used to show security settings(if the settings are set to deny or ask me mode),but after the update of firefox 17.0 ,i am not getting any security settings windows from flash.
I am manually changing the settings using control panel.I cant ask my users to do this.
So please look into this and provide a fix as soon as possible.
Thanks

can we get a link to see for ourselves? Or paste the HTML
code up here (specifically that which embeds the flash in the
page)

Flash security settings panel

I am new to FlashPro CS5. I need to use it with SlideShowPro Director and the associated product 'ThumbGrid'.
I followed the instructions and settings from SlideShow Pro but nothing happens when I publish. They say I need to go to the flash security settings panel and add my local folder as a trusted location to execute the files from.
I cannot find the flash security settings panel. Can I get a hint on where to find the flash security settings panel. I need to add my local folder as a trusted location to execute the files from
Has anyone in the forum had experience with SlideShowPro Director or Thumb Grid.

Its okay continue with the thread, the next thing is about the crossdomain policy, you should also know about that for these kind of issues, let see with the following links:

You Tube Widget - Flash Security Settings

Hello,
I managed to embed sucessfully a You Tube video by using flash factor widget. It works when published to a web server no problem. However it looks like anybody else who views it has to adjust their flash security settings.
Is there away around this issue?
Help would be greatly appreciated
Thankyou

Hi all
One way past this would be to include and install a light web server known as "Server2Go". It's pretty simple to install and it tricks the Flash Player into thinking the content is running from a server.
Site to obtain Server2Go:

Flash Security Settings and Random Questions not Displaying

Hey folks,
I created a Captivate 4 project with 3 slides and a question pool of about 70 questions in which I am randomly pulling in. I am using IE7 and Flash 10. Publishing in Flash 10. If I publish or view in Preview in a web browser the project launches, plays the first 3 slides, and then goes blank when the first question should appear. Note: previewing the project AND publishing the project as an .exe does launch and display all the questions correctly. It ends up being a flash security issue. I went to the adobe site and via the Adobe Flash Player Security Manager" I entered in the main .SWF captivate-generated file as a trusted file and then re-ran the published captivate project and it ran correctly. Question is ... what do I need to do to set up flash or my project so I don't have to do this for every new project that I deploy? I don't want to have the users have to go in and add whatever I deploy as a trusted file. It's also a little confusing as to why the first three slides played and it stopped at the questions ... seems like if it's not a trusted file, that it wouldn't run at all.
Thanks for any help!

Hello again
I think I'd be investigating a temporary web server to host on until things are ready. Here's where it will help.
By providing files to the end users, if you are copying files over you end up having to explain how to save the files. You then have to walk them through setting the Flash Security so they can properly view. It all just becomes a pain in the kazoo.
If you can find some server space, you simply upload the content and provide a link for the users to view the content.
Other than that, if you are insistent that copying is the way to fly, I might suggest you establish a known location where you want everyone to copy their files. Perhaps C:\TestFolder. Then provide some instruction on how to configure the folder with the relaxed Flash Security. From there forward, anything they copy to the folder should need no security adjustment.
Cheers... Rick

I agree with you, I tried different SOL editor and it work
when i tried.
I believe what I used was more than SOL explorer/reader
rather then editor
even tho it has this option is seem the file stop working and
hence the
problem I was claiming about the files not work properly.
Perhaps it was changing something and flash did not like
these changes.
Anyhow, I did try another tool and did manage to work.
Thanks

Change Flash Security Settings? Security Manager Offline?

Hello
I have downloaded firefox and flash player, I have content
which when I run it, flash blocks it wisely and reports that the
page is trying to access other content etc.
I need to allow the accessing to other content but I dont
have internet at home, I understand I need the global manager
security settings panel which of course shows fine on this intenet
conencted machine but at home it just brings up a dead URL because
of no tcp/adsl etc.
I am sure this is a standard question answered millions of
times before Im sorry to bother you guys, Have a great year every
one and good luck Adobe.

The reason you can't access it offline is because adobe flash
player is effectively a trojan. There is absolutely no reason to
not have local, offline access to adjust settings to a local piece
of software, even if it is a plug-in. That goes to the heart of it
right there. The settings are stored locally, so what the hell is
the GSM doing? Well, it's doing what it specifically says it is not
going to do (on the GSM page) and modifies personal data on your
system. These settings may be benign but the method employed is
typical virus behavior. Adobe has never given a reason because they
know they have a front door into everyone's machine that made the
mistake of installing the flash player plug-in. Even microsoft had
a big deal about it because they put it in the WinXP install and
sure enough, flash player had a huge security hole. They knew it
and did nothing. Adobe knew it and didn't care.
You might look for a hack that modifies the settings locally
rather than relying on a known virus-type of access that adobe
clearly wants to your system.
Adobe should be set on fire for this kind of behavior.
btw:
check out this file: (it'll be on your local machine)
\documents and settings\(your username)\application
data\macromedia\flash
player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\
and the file is
settings.sol (it's a binary file)
SWF should never be allowed to modify anything, it's supposed
to play animations, yet adobe's ocx (the plug-in) seems to do just
that without any notification or warning that it's going to do
something to your local system. Again, this is classic virus
behavior; performing some unwanted/unwarranted task(s) without
notice. I've play with the flash maker before, I remember you could
do some things with clickable links. But nowhere do I recall it
giving the ability to modify someones local files, that was just
too much freedom.
adobe needs to either fix this or drop flash player. I know
it's fairly prevalent on the web, but with security risks like
these that adobe doesn't want to fix it's just dynamite. Better
yet, how about make our flash swf files able to access adobes'
internal network? Sounds fair to me.
You'll also probably see a bunch (or just a few or even none)
of directories that start with # in the ...\sys directory. Under
which each one may have another settings.sol file. If you do a
little research on the web you can find a ton of people who've had
security holes opened because of entries in these files. adobe may
want to deny it but you can read about it all over the place. adobe
flash player has even been at issue with rootkits (look them up,
quite nasty) and the problems that go with them. So yeah, adobe
reached a new low the first time I saw that.
It's crap software like this that gets unleashed on the
unsuspecting public and techs like myself have to clean it up.
Furthermore, we have to try and find alternatives to what has
become too well-established. Flash became popular before people
really paid any attention to what adobe was actually doing on their
systems. That's why everytime I have to uncorrupt a system I go
looking for things like the flash player plugin. Some days it's so
bad I'd like to see a plane hit the adobe hq, that'd be some
justice.
If only companies like adobe would release trustworthy
software, yeah, I'm still looking for the pigs with wings.
And yet still more bs: while almost every piece of software
I've ever installed goes into it's own directory or under
..\program files\... look where adobe puts itself. Deep inside
...\Windows\...
Here's where I found mine
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\
with several different directories under there. Like a damn
tick it burrowed itself into the main windows directory. Which is
also typical of a virus.

Flash security settings in javascript

hello all - (newbie here)
is there a way i can read the flash player camera/microphone security settings from javascript?
i need to be able to determine from jscript if somebody selected "allow" or "deny" for the camera/microphone.
also, is there a way in jscript i can determine when somebody hits the "close" button in the security question popup?
i am playing around with the html object-map-coords tags but that does not seem to be working.
or even better: can i determine via javascript when somebody hits the "close" button after answering the security questions?
NOTE: i dont have any access to the action-script.
thank you!

I don't kknow of any easy/automatic way to do it, but It can
be faked...
You can put the javascript on the html page calling on the
flash file. Inside the flash file use a preloader to determine when
the page is fully loaded. Then instead of just playing the movie
put in a
getURL("javascript:name();");
function to call the javascript once the page is fully
loaded.
This will do what you want. However thanks to new flash
security it probably will not work until you publish the file to a
server. There may be an easier way but I don't know it.

Flash security settings - offline no internet connection

We have applications that are residing and a closed intranet with no access to the WWW period.
We are trying to use Xcelsius' WSDL connector to a WSDL residing on the intranet. This works fine, however when the SWF is opened in IE a default security prompt appears:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following application on your.....
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings..."
Since these machines have no access to the Internet, they cannot see the Macromedia Flash Website and thus are unable to modify their security settings, and thus the WSDL connection cannot work.
Does anyone have any resolutions available to allow web based data communications in Flash, without a WWW connection?
thank you

Hi Christine,
You can add a simple local configuration (.txt) file per machine to say which SWF or folder of SWFs is trusted without using the Adobe online Security tool.
Here is where to put the local configuration file for all users of the machine (note you may need to create the FlashPlayerTrust folder):
<system>\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust
So that could be:
c:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust
Call the configuration txt file whatever you want (just make sure it has a .txt extension).
Create the configuration file (Notepad will do), save the file (for example: xcelsius.txt).
To make any SWF that runs from the C or D drive on the machine trusted add these two lines to the txt file then save it:
C:\
D:\
Run a SWF from the C or D drive and it should now be trusted.
This information is from this section FlashPlayerTrust configuration files on this Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer8_security_04.html

Matt

Adobe Flash Player will not run since installing Firefox 25.0 upgrade

Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
My question says it all. Within Firefox's own system it says the flash player is update and enabled. Any place I go today and want to play something the page posts "Get Adobe Flash Player". I upgraded to Firefox 25.0 just before I retired for the night. Today Flash Player will not work.
Within Tools>Options>Content the option to turn java off and on is no longer there. I believe you folks have CREATED A BIG BUG!!!!!

Your statement: "I missed that Firefox 25 turned on "click to play" as the default behavior for plugins. I assume you prefer to have Flash run automatically if you've approved the site in NoScript."
I didn't read anything anywhere, nor was I aware of the fact that Firefox may have changed "my" plugin settings, or broken them. How many users do you think there might be that have NoScript set this way for one or more sites.
I'm just saying it might have been nice to have been forewarned about this - obviously something that was KNOWN that the update was going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flash Player does NOT work with Mozilla Firefox

I have Mozilla Firefox on my computer which uses Windows XP 32-bit and the flash player (newest version) simply does not work. I have successfully followed ALL instructions for making it work but nothing has changed. I have an .SWF file that I wish to open but I get the message that flash player is not installed on my computer but it is confirmed as installed. I need it to work but I am not a computer whiz.

Hi! The Shockwave Flash plugin has be disenabled and re-enabled numerous times….
I have Mozilla Firefox 22
These are the files in my \Windows\system32\Macromedia\Flash file:
flashInstall

genuinst
install
KB923789
mms.cfg
NPSWF32_11_8_800_94.ddl
plugin.vch
I have already spent at least 8 hours trying to understand what to do with no change and as I said before I am not a computer whiz….
Thanks for your help!

Manually editting Flash security settings

I work in a small network that does not have internet access.
Flash prevents me from running any lessons from the LAN as it wants
to point to adobe.com (which it cant). is there anyway i can access
the file, that already resides on my machine, without having to go
thru adobe.com ?? i found the file (settings.sol) but can't edit it
using wordpad or notepad. i tried and it didn't work. i can't take
an existing file and replace this one for a few reasons nor can i
copy the lesson down to my HD and run it from there. any advice
here would be great.

I found your wording to be a bit hard to follow poppabear...
it wasn't clear why Flash Player wanted to hit adobe.com.
I think what you're looking for is a way to control Flash
Player Settings Manager without having to connect to it. Common
question (which I answered in another post today already). You can
do that by distributing an MMS.CFG file on your local machines.
You can learn more about that here:

Access Connections: proxy + homepage settings not taken over in Firefox and IE since upgrade to 5.0

Hi,
I got a really annoying problem since upgrading to AC 5.0: both in IE 6.0 and FF 3.0 the proxy and homepage settings are not taken over when switching the network profiles. A first attempt based on a statement found here
http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/thinkpad-software/thinkvantage-software/13963-access-connection-absturz...
seemed to look succesful. (for non Germans: they have solved a crash-problem while creating new profiles in reducing the size of FF's prefs.js file to a value under 45 kB). I had a similar problem, too, and solved it in this way. Also the proxy issue seemed to look better then but but only for some days. Now its the same again, proxy and homepage (did by the way never work with AC 5.0) do still not have any effect on IE and FF.
What's the reason? Has anyone solved or at least experienced this problem?
Thanks a lot for any hints...
Best regards,
Carsten
PS: T41p, Win XP Pro SP2, IE 6.0, FF 3.0.1

BSNF:
Stopped working on 5.0. Upgraded to 5.02 through System Update, continued to not work. Have deleted all profiles, recreated: Still doesn't work. Have uninstalled Access Connections, reinstalled: Still doesn't work. Doublechecked settings in profiles, verified that check box is on in order to get Access Connections to do its thing.
Both IE 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-211 (that is, the system proxy and home page settings) and Firefox 3.0.1 are affected.
Turned on log file; there were 152 lines of error message, included below, some of which clearly make reference to Firefox. Don't know what's wrong. Some kind of permission thing?
<tr><td></td><td>ERROR SvcGuiHlpr( kab(Prvlg).4576.0340) [9/14]14:26:40:960 GetPrefsFile got prefs file path [C:\Documents and Settings\kab\Application Data\Mozilla\firefox\Profiles\vbpsq9vz.Work\prefs.js]</td></tr>

I've got a much bigger file that contains the log when switching back and forth. There's other error messages in there, too: Missing PID, etc. Any ideas?

Setting button on Flash security alert not working

When I run a .sfw file locally, I receive a Flash Security
Alert asking if it is ok for the Flash content to communicate with
the internet. I see two buttons - one is called
OK and the other is called
Settings. When I click the Settings button nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me why?

Flash player does not properly install on Firefox and Opera.

Requirement for flash player just randomly started popping up on Firefox and Opera. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall flash player, reset computer then install again, but the installer finishes then when the web browser pops up to confirm in says:
Adobe Flash Player could not be installed.
You can troubleshoot your installation with the following resources:

Shockwave flash isn't installed in plugins but videos do load. On this "Flash Player Help" the animation does not load but videos on youtube does load and work.
Does anyone know a solution for this?

Hi Joface333,
Please do the following:
Close all browsers and apps that may use Flash Player (e.g. instant messaging clients, Pandora and the like).
Run the uninstaller posted at the bottom of the Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs page
Reboot the machine
After logging back in, check the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and C:\Windows\SysWow64\Macroemd\Flash directory.FlashInstall.log file should exist in both directories. mms.cfg file should only exist in the 'syswow64' directory. Depending on what other Adobe software, if any, you have installed there may be other CFG files and a FlashPlayerTrust directory. If there are other Flash Player files listed, take a screen-shot and post them using the instructions previously provided.
Run the installers posted to the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows
If there are any errors, take a screen-shot of the error dialog and upload the screen-shot and the FlashInstall.log file from both 'system32' and 'syswow64' directories using the instructions previously provided.

Customization Wizard - Security Settings Not Sticking

Hi,
I'm trying to create a transform file to role out the Adobe Reader 9 msi file. I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 and I can tell it is working to a degree as removing items from the Help menu work.
However, the main reason I want to use it is to add domains to the 'Privileged Locations Exempt from Enhanced Security' option. I have added two domains in here and checked the option to allow 'External Content' and 'Silent Printing'. However, when I run the msi with the transform file the application installs, but the Edit - Preferences - Security (Enhanced) doesn't show the domains I have added.
If I open the transform file in Notepad I can see the domains in there, so I know it's saving okay. But I think there must be some option I'm missing to enable them.
Any help much appreciated.
Nick

Hello community,
it's amazing that the longstanding problem seems to stay down to the present day and neither Adobe nor admins found a solution for that. :-(
My plain intention was to enable enhanced security, preconfigure trust and lock down all settings. The best way would be to create a patched and transformed msi package of Adobe Reader 9 which can be deployed by Windows group policys. After applying the msp to the msi file I opened the msi in Adobe Customization Wizard 9 and made the desired modifications, in particular by adding a recursive folder in Privileged Locations Exempt. The test setup ran without any problems. To verify the modifications in Reader I checked it under "Edit / Preferences / Security (Enhanced)" and wondered why the exempt list still was empty.
In the Adobe "Enhanced Security and Trusted Locations" Guide there is specified where the enhanced security settings are stored in Windows Registry. At least the Privileged Locations Exempt entries should be stored in HKCU. I checked this up in registry of my test installation and found these entries in HKLM instead. So it seems that Adobe Reader would ignore these entries and it is expected that all settings are stored in HKCU indeed. But in that case the settings are only recognized if the user's interface is not locked down.
So my questions are: Did anybody managed it? How is it possible keep preconfigured settings and lock down user's interface of Enhanced Security Settings at the same time? Is it better to avoid using Customization Wizard and deploy the settings via reg files instead?
Any responses would be appreciated.
Christian
