Flash / shockwave & facebook issue

Hello all,
Im writing this part because I have a problem with either shockwave or flash & facebook games.
Using the facebook link ( http://apps.facebook.com/playcastleville/?fb_source=bookmark_apps&ref=bookmarks&count=30&f b_bmpos=2_30 ) in my account ofcourse. ( would suggest using your own because dont see facebook differing in customers delivered service aka the game ).
So in facebook i start the application shochwave / flash while playing castlevile on the facebook.com.
I can play random times and flash stops working providing a error " flash has stopped working ( ! ) .
Chrome forwards a popup with the note adobe shockwave plugin has stopped working.
This started 5-10 days ago ( give or take ) with no other software installed by user.
Automatic updates were on and installed, i backtracked system restore to a date before it stopped working. This didnt help.
I downloaded / installed newest versions of flash / shockwave. issue still occurs.
I placed the "use xx amount of HDD " to undefined aka use what you want more less. issue same
I turned back to internet explorer, setup'd and ready to use armed with the newest versions of flash / shockwave and internet explorer issue still occurs.
I turned to mozilla firefox the game doesnt load.
I saw a sligh increase in mem usage over the time, meaning it could run out of mem ( maybe ) so increased paging file just to be sure. to 2K above the advised lvl.
minimum system requirements quad core proc / 2010 mobo / nvidia 9800 or better 6k or ram. windows 7 64 bits running smooth and flashy.
Personally i like it stripped and bare / classic, but then again it isnt my computer so.... flashy.
hmm its a Asus n55s laptop i think ( writing this down from memory )
Avast anti virus <-- deactivated issue still occurs.
windows firewall <-- turned off issue still occurs.
computer usage : facebook <-- watching movies <-- basic image editing <-- surfing the web
no extra devices attached ( appart from a powerusing cooling fan pack ) and a wireless mouse from logitec
usage of flash / shockwave ( im not sure which does what ) youtube music / facebook games / onsite radio ( as far as i know ).
laptop bloatware ( i believe its called ) is on and active. but was before the 10 days as wel.
No auto update funktions on that. And if there was an update it would have been uninstalled with the system restore.
Every install is covered with the admin rights question ( as far as i know ).
is there some list of someway to find out for what combination of software its written?
for example, it works normally on xxx computer with shockwave version x and flash player version x with windows 7 64 bit. and chrome version x or IE version x or firefox version X with extension pack version x.... for the game castlevile ran of facebook?
or is there some way to find out what is wrong in the line of apps that are needed to run this game?
and / or what free media is needed etc etc.
( internet security is still set to the same low to normal as usual. and no other virus / firewall software is being used.
network was the same as it was.
does someone have idea's, about what is the cause / solution?
please let me know.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Robert.

Yeah, Firefox and Flash Player isn't a super stable combination on Windows 8.1 at the moment. We're collaborating closely with Mozilla to improve that, but that effort is going to happen over several months.
In the meantime, you might want to take a look at the other options. Microsoft invested a lot of time and effort into making the Flash experience on Win8.1 really good in IE, as did Google with Chrome.

Can't view flash in Facebook - Anywhere else is fine!

Okay, so new laptop and, no matter what I do, I can't view flash in Facebook. When I click on the video I get an error saying "Flash Player upgrade required". If I click upgrade I am told by the adobe page that my player is already up to date.
I can view flash ANYWHERE else, but not in facebook. If a youtube clip is embedded in facebook I get the error message, but if I click through to the video on youtube and view it directly, it works fine.
I have tried everything. I have tried clearing my cache, deleting the adobe player cache, reinstalling my browser, re-installing flash player. Nothing I do will let me watch flash embedded in facebook. It makes no sense.
I am running Windows 7 - 64bit. Chrome is my browser, but I have exactly the same issue in any browser. I have disabled my virus scanner (avast) but the problem persists. This seems to be a fairly common problem judging by my google searches, but there never seems to be an answer.
This is a new laptop, so hardly anything installed.
Oh, apparently I am running version 10,3,181,22

.swf imported in Flash Catalyst shows only the Flash Shockwave icon

I have scoured the FC forums and watched all of the Adobe TV episodes
on importing .swf files into Flash Catalyst but I am still faced with the following problem.
I have a basic animated .swf file that I created in Flash CS5. I am trying to import that .swf file into a Flash Catalyst project but when I do I only see the blue border around the asset when I click it in the layers panel. In the top left corner is a small round Flash Icon ( I believe it is the Flash Shockwave version - Blueish Gray). Nothing shows when I "Run" the project nor when I added the .swf file in the local folder from where Flash Catalyst runs the project.
I tried re-publishing the original Flash file in different version of Flash player, but to no avail. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if I have imported incorrectly or what.
Even though I cannot see the .swf file imported into Flash Catalyst, I still tried to add an interaction to play on Application Start, but nothing there either.
At a loss and looking for some direction.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Cheers!

Erik -
It's a pleasure to help someone! I just got through this as you can see. Only problem is I just hacked it with no precision, so for example I moved a lot of files to the server to make them accessable and then it played. But near as I can tell, I'll tell you the story.
There are two things going on. When you play it locally it's different from when you play it on the web. You are correct, you should see the first frame of the swf in your animation. To get it to play (assuming it is set to play)you then have to control+enter to preview (on windows). The assests are laid out locally in the file structure displayed in the url bar. no?
Part of it is that there may be several things going on here... All I can do is tell you all the numerous problems I had, made worse because I had 3 different work-stations...
I had problems when I had several swfs floating around in the library and I think similar names: Eventually I just did a clean export of the swf (the first one was from Flash... 3? 4? and Catalyst is cs5... ) and such to just do the work-flow in one motion. I had too many work-stations going on. So that part I finally did cleanly, and when that was settled, I could handle the file issues.
The swf: It does have to be in the same folder, and not in a sub-folder. Also, all the contents from DEPLOY TO WEB - just drag it into your site folder defined by dreamweaver or whatever and put it on the server at the same level, NO russian dolls (no file folders within folders). With Dreamweaver, when you upload a swf, you select the MAIN file and supposedly DW pulls files - it does, but not all of them, such as supporting swfs.
I would have thought that DW would do it correctly automatically : It seems to want to: but there are still kinks.
If you're like me, you recognize that catalyst is a powerful creative stage, but this stuff is just annoying and really easier just man-handled with precision once and forgotten about lol.
I heard also some grumbling on swfs that are just too huge or have aspects that don't import well, but it doesnt' sound like a problem in this case.
Do update me - I'm around this weekend, would love to see you succeed on this.
Cache,
Thanks for your replies. I have put the .swf file in the same "local" directory as the main.html for the FC Project I am working on and no luck locally. However, does the .swf file have to be in the local directory of the FC project prior to it being imported into FC for it to work locally?
Also, when I was watching a video tutorial about inserting .swf files into FC, the graphics/content of the .swf that was inserted could be seen in the design view of FC. My imported .swf only shows a small, round flash icon in the corner and nothing else. This doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't one be able to see the graphics/content of the imported .swf so that it can be properly placed in the design? That is how it was in the video tutorial. If this is also due to the location of the imported .swf then Adobe has not made that clear in anything I have read or seen.

Latest Flash and Facebook

I had been away for a couple of months so when I got home and was going to put some pictures up on Facebook. I went to my photos area and created a new album and it did open the dialogue box for uploading multiple photos but it also said that in order to proceed I had to update to the latest version of Flash. I did and when I went back to Facebook and click on create album it sends me off to a open file window sitting in my documents. I now realize this is the same problem on my laptop but with that I wasn't sure what the issue was. The only change to this desktop in the last several months has been the updating of this flash file. Is flash and facebook not getting along under the latest release.

Maybe I didn't explain myself well enough. I'm sitting in the photos area of Facebook where I can see photos and albums that I have created previously on this computer. I click on Create Album and it immediately directs me to the window as per the attached screen capture. If you try and put in a name of an album to create you get the second window saying it couldn't find the file. The only thing that I did on this computer was update Flash. This is occuring on all of my computers now so I am not able to upload to facebook at all but I was able to upload to my google+.
I hope that this explains it better so that someone could help me find a solution. The browser that I am using is Firefox 21.0. The file that I downloaded when I was alerted that I had to update Flash is install_flashplayer11x32_gdrd_aaa_aih.exe. I have downloaded the instructions for removing and also downloaded Flash 10.3 so that if I can't find a solution I will be forced into trying to go back to this older release to see if this provides a fix.

Huge IE7-Flash/Shockwave Player Problem

i just installed IE7 (7.0.5730.11) and wanted to try it out
on some demanding pages, like those with flash animations,
shockwave games and integrated media players. everything worked
fine until i went to www.miniclip.com and started the robot rage
game (
http://www.miniclip.com/games/robot-rage/en/).
signing in was successful and also the choose robot page had no
problems, but after i chose a robot and got to the workshop every
single click caused an "iexplore.exe - Application Error" - The
instruction at [eg.] "0x77ec3593" referenced memory at
"0x00000010". The memory could not be "read". OK>terminate,
CANCEL>debug!
i tried it several times, set all possible IE security and
advanced settings to lowest possible, everywhere "enable" where
possible, ran ccleaner (cleaned temp, cookies etc.), restarted my
notebook and the problem still occurs. sometimes it just hapens
when i get to the first page where the shockwave application starts
(there the "send error report" window comes up and the MS crash
analysis tells me that Macromedia has published a new version of
the flash player (i definitely have the most recent one), but
mostly i manage to sign in, choose a robot and then when i'm on the
workshop page every single click anywhere leads to the application
error.
since the latest flash player/shockwave player issues are
from july 21, i supose the problem is indeed caused by the flash
player, not IE7, since it's not been updated after the end-user
version of IE7 had been released.
if anyhow possible, this issue should be reported to Adobe (i
am not a commercial Adobe customer, so i cannot do that) so they
can fix that and release a new version of flash/shockwave
player

i apologize, i didn't see that i posted it in the wrong
forum; should be in the flash/shockwave player forum

My flash/shockwave player keeps crashing/freezing

Could you try steps:
(1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
(2) Disable Flash using hardware acceleration. See this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable the protected mode feature. This involves creating or editing a settings file. You can disable that by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different ways to do that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.

Flash and Facebook

Me and my husband on separate computers are having an awful time on Facebook. We keep getting Invalid URL's all the time, the games might or might not load and it does this with IE8 and Google Chrome. I also have on Farmville items that are there but the flash is not showing them but my friends on there computers can see the things I cannot see. Me and my husband are both using Vista 64 bit, we both have Google Dev to which the flash comes integrated into it. The Chrome is fast but when I get into a game then leave I may not be able to get back in. It says this a lot "page cannot be found" or "Invalid URL. Is this a Flash issues or a Facebook issue? I know a lot of friends are using the very same Chrome as Me and husband and they have no issues. Is there some settings on my own computer I need to do or what. Is it that flash just has a problem with Facebook? So many questions and no real solutions.

First of all, using IE is just wrong in my opinion. Just because it comes with Windows doesn't mean it's even close to the best choice for a browser. Chrome is a lot smaller and faster than IE, but then that isn't saying much since Opera, Firefox, and even Netscape are smaller than IE, once you consider all the things that Microsoft has to have to make it run since it's also the basis for Windows Explorer.
Chrome is so basic it can't be really good for anything but basic browsing, checking your G-mail, and watching YouTube videos. Firefox or Opera would be a much better choice for Facebook and Farmville.
Second, I don't know if you keep up with the news, but Facebook is under a lot of scrutiny and pressure right now because of some very serious security flaws. If you don't have any correct and true personal information there and only use it to play Farmville, more power to you, but I'll need to see some serious attitude changes in Facebook management and administration before I put my real name and information there again.

Flash 10 install issues and use with PowerPoint

Hi feeling really frustrated now and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a quick solution.
I'm running Windows 7, Flash 10.0.32.18 (now the Beta 10.1 in desperation) and I haven't had to reinstall flash on start up until last night so that was an unfortunate down turn of events for me and not even the reason for searching the forums.
My issue started as I stood in front of one of my classes (I work in a College) with PowerPoint 2007 and a lesson ready to go and the Flash images that had always worked refused to be anything other than a still image with no interaction.
Unfortunately when I upgraded to Windows 7 I carried out a clean install and reinstalled Office along with the latest versions of Flash, Shockwave etc. I say unfortunately because I now have no way of knowing where the problem lie. On asking, Microsoft are adamant that it is an Adobe issue and the forum would seem to back this up.
On investigation I found that when looking at a slide the object was identified as a Flash object but I can't view any properties, also 'insert a shockwave flash object' is not available in the control toolbox. This would indicate that Flash is not installed even though viewing flash on the internet has not been an issue.
The last issue that may help toward a solution is that when trying to view an .swf file I'm informed that I need to have FlashPlayer installed (I have) and when trying to use a third party flash player such as SWF Opener it also asks me to install flash.
Like everyone else here I've installed, uninstalled all Flash etc. more times than I care to remember now.
I'm not that technically minded when it comes to the nitty gritty of software operation and programming, I just like things to work.
Please help as the most important thing I use my laptop for I now can't!!!!

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Talk about famous 3 words, It's All Fixed is what I love to hear ! Well good for you, bet you are glad
that is done and as I like to say when all of the ducks are in a row, FP is a piece of cake! It is always
the ducks that cause the problems.
You asked about the dates in manage add ons, as far as SFO is concerned and FP 10 it is more exact
to look at Add/Remove, the screen shot I have shows Adobe Flash Player 10 Plug in and the date is
11/18/09 probably when you did one of the Un/In stalls or the beta and it logged the correct version
there in Add/Remove. However in the 1st screen shot of add ons, SFO is not even listed, probably due
to the Uninstall and Reinstall actions. I have noticed Windows updates are listed in my Add/Remove, not
when I install them, but when Microsoft issued them and maybe Adobe does the same thing. Then I have
XP3/IE6, so you have differences there too. In my add on for example, no dates are shown and when I
updated my SFO Active X (I can do that with IE6:-) I know when I did it. Even though you had Shockwave
Flash Object listed you did not have the Flash10c.ocx which is the ActiveX CONTROL, the engine if you will
that Flash Player 10 works together with so all Flash websites, youtube, etc need. Think of having a gas pedal
and no gas in the tank, everything works together:-) The plug in you installed today was the Flash10c.ocx, the
gas. Go look.
Hey are the slides working now too?
Ok, I'll take a Christmas card
Well thanks for the "star" and appreciation and the best to you!

If the problem is not with the way you are trying to use Flash, there may be something wrong with your Mac's software. One of several troubleshooting and repair steps may help you.
(1) Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then test again.
(2) If the problem persists, download the latest Flash Player from the Adobe link for your OS:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
If the downloaded file is later than the version shown in Safari > Help > Installed Plug-ins, install the update, repair permissions one more time, and then test video again.
(3) If your problem remains, use your  >Software Update... menu command to verify that your Apple software is up to date. If you apply any later Apple updates, repair permissions after the updates are complete, and then test whether video works now.

Adobe Flash NTLM Authentication Issue

This problem is having a major impact for many users in my account.
The users are testing streaming course ware delivery over the Internet and also hitting the proxy re-login prompt.
The problem with them is that after re-logging in the course restarts at the beginning.
So it is not a fit for purpose environment for this application currently.
The same problem occurs for companies webcast through Internet.
Recent test with the users have confirm the issue occurs using the following version of flash:
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11.1.102.55
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11.1.102.62
The Shockwave Flash NTLM authentication issue is characterised by the following packet sequence: WS sends Request to Server. Server closes the TCP connection without a response to the request. The WS establishes a new TCP connection and resend the request with previous NTLM Authentication details (ie does not go through the correct NTLM handshake for proxy authentication failure and the browser to pop for user credentials.
When the above occurs,
NTLM authentication screen popup up, entering credential again didn’t resume video. I had to reload the page to resume video from the beginning.
No popup, but the video resumes from the beginning when there was a prolonged delay.
The problem occurs on Windows XP SP3 with IE7 or IE8 with Flash Player 11.1.102.62
Is the problem a known issue with Adobe Flash Player ?

Hello,
The bug report states can not reproduce. I understand the problem and am happy to help Adobe understand if they want to email me and organise a webex.
The problem is associated with the way IE handles NTLM on a new connection. When performing a POST request, it will make two requests: the first contains a type1 NTLM token and no body, and the second will contain the type 3 token and the body. It does this because it expects to perform NTLM authentication as NTLM is connection not session based, and hence for efficiency, it doesn't send the POST body on the first request (knowing a second request will be required).
The POST request initiated by the Flash application is only made once, so it presents a POST request and no body with the type 1 token to the web server (ie IIS, or some Java implementation such as SSO Plugin), and does not make a second request with a type 3 token and the body. It gives up and automatically prompts the user for a username/password, which is the wrong behaviour when the browser is in the Local Intranet zone and the web server responded with a type 2 token.
I can reproduce this easily and it is a serious bug: it means that any Flash application that is accessed via Integrated Windows Authentication and IE will fail when trying to make a POST request, such as uploading a file from the user.

IPad Facebook issues with Safari

Upgraded our iPad2 to 5.0.1 and when we now access Facebook via Safari, the video in Facebook now loads over the text.
According to a Genius Bar guy at our local Apple store, this is a Facebook issue. I don't want to use the new Facebook app as it's still quite buggy.
Any suggestions for accessing Facebook with Safari?
Thanks.

This is all on Facebook's code. There is nothing you can do from the iPad other than to contact Facebook support and tell them about it.
I use the Facebook app frequently and I don't find that it's that buggy. It's not perfect by any means, but it's OK. But I generally do prefer the web version.

Where can I download a Flash/Shockwave player that works with Deer Park in XP x64?

Where can I download a Flash/Shockwave player that works with
Deer Park 64bit in Windows XP Pro x64?
Before some Macromedia employee says, "When there is a retail
version", Microsoft said that XP Pro x64 is an OEM release that
anyone can Buy for their AMD64/EM64T PCs only, There will be no
retail version as there are 32bit PCs out there still and XP Pro
x64 will not work on a 32bit Compatible PC, Only on a 64bit
AMD64/EM64T PC and not an Itainium PC either, 64bit or
otherwise.

Bump!

About 75%+ of the day flash/shockwave is down.

Can't watch YouTube, Launch games, or certain websites!
It always crashes, you tube videos stop at 0;01 and games just don't launch.
I've tried re-installing, disabling hardware acceleration, updating chrome and many many other "proposed solutions" from forums and other places. NONE have worked.
I've had enough.. and i really need a solution to this crippling problem.

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this?

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this? Very new to this

The license is for the Developer not the machine it is run on However there could be soma issues with trying to develop on a public machine.
The biggest is does the library machine have or will they let you install and run Xcode and if you are developing for IOS will they let you plug in your devices?
In addition will they allow you the hours needed on the machine? Most public machines have a time limit especially if there are others waiting to use it.
All-in-all in can be done but it won;t be an easy situation.
good luck

Flash & Shockwave Redistribuatbles

Are the newest version of Flash & Shockwave still
available for redistributable downloads? I can't seem to download
them like I used to.
A push in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I've dropped my guard before with the security and I had so much trouble with my computer because of all the people trying to attack my computer I just can't take the chance again. www.MySafetyGates.com
