Depending on which OS you have, you must either rebuild your desktop, run FSCK or repair permissions & then restart after the installation.

  • Flash & Shockwave Players refuse to work

    Got a new MacBook for my staffers; can't get Flash 8 or Shockwave Players to install & work under Safari (2.0.3 (417.8)).
    Is this a Known Issue or am I missing something? Never had this problem b'fore when installing from DMG's off Macro/dobe's website.
    MacBook Pro (2Ghz, 2Gb, 10.4.5)   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   Too many to mention here ....

    Yes, it's a known issue. You cannot use non-universal binary plug-ins on Intel-Macs. All Intel-Macs come with Flash plug-ins specially compiled to use with the Intel machines. When you install the downloaded versions you end up replacing the one that works with the one that won't. Your options are:
    1. Download Pacifist (www.versiontracker.com) and use it to extract a fresh copy of the required Flash plug-in from the file archives on your installer DVD to replace the one you installed.
    2. Reinstall the whole system from scratch.

  • 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

  • Problems with both Flash/Shockwave

    I'm experiencing problems with both Flash and Shockwave
    players. I've gone to the help pages for both of these players and
    I've followed every suggestion they had in there for players not
    playing even if they are installed. I have the ActiveX enabled in
    Internet Properties, security software is not in anyway afilliated
    with this problem, so that leaves me with being stumped and
    fustrated. I hope that you guys can help me out if anyway possible.
    Also, when I try reinstall Flash and Shockwave, both "successfully
    installed" flash videos do not show up.
    I will say this though, the posibility of an accidental
    uninstallment of both plugins not too long ago might've resulted in
    this problem.
    Thanks.

  • .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.

  • 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.

    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 / 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.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Installed Latest Flash and Shockwave players but not loading

    Hi,
    I've installed/reinstalled Flash Player and Shockwave pleyers. I instaled in Safe Mode. I'ver used stand alone installers and unstallers. I've checked for malware and removed any found. I went back to an earlier verion of Firefox where  they worked but no result. Have same problem in Chorme. They worked before I upgraded to the latest versions. Adobe site test verifies successful installs.
    I've not used the Microsoft tool.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.

    I found the answer on another forum, but since this result showed up higher in the google search results:
    Install Flash player in the Internet explorer browser as well, it seems if you do it in FF it only installs what's necessary for Flash in FF
