Flash shockwave

Hi!
I have a problem where the local SWF-files won't open in firefox, IE works just fine but not for firefox for some reason which i cannot explain fully but i will try to with some pictures as help.
https://imageshack.com/i/exOUUG2vp (Pic 1)
If you look at this picture (Pic 1) you see two lines for SWF applications
nr 1. this is "SWF-fil(application/x-shockw)" and
nr 2. this is "SWF-fil(application/x-shockwave-flash)"
as i see it the first looks like it is wrong in some way (not sure though). and if i try to open a local SWF-file with firefox it just ask me if i want to "open file" or "save file" when the settings is as the the first picture.
https://imageshack.com/i/expW5N8np (Pic 2)
In this image (Pic 2) i have made a change to the settings on how it should handle "SWF-fil(application/x-shockw)" by saying "Use Internet Explorer" which then works since it works in IE to begin with. but it won't work in firefox still (ofcourse since it won't open in firefox with that setting).
https://imageshack.com/i/idPtfJhNp (Pic 3)
What i think is that it should use the one that is highlighted in this picture (Pic 3) which is the second one "SWF-fil(application/x-shockwave-flash)", since this is the one making use of the flash plugin, what i think is that the first one in the list is taking over the second and in that way canceling the opening of local SWF-files in firefox, i am not sure though it might be something else that cause this problem.
I hope this information is helpful to solve the problem. I don't need an answer unless it is something i can do myself like resetting something or similar.
I have not tried this in safe mode, though i do not think it will be a different result. All i ask is that someone look into it and see what can be wrong and see if they can fix it since i really haaaaate using IE for any reason, no matter how small or big the reason.
I am not the type to answer quickly if i get an answer, if i answer at all, so do not expect me to be able to answer your questions if you have any, though i think that won't be needed with my information and the pictures included in my explanation, I will though try to go back here and look/answer...
I hope this can be fixed since i really love firefox as my default browser.
Thanks!

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

.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.

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.

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 & 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

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.

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.

Adobe Flash/Shockwave Problems

for some reason Adobe Flash is Crashing Every day for the last 2 weeks with Firefox i'v reinstalled it and it didn't help one bit and not sure whats going on. my system is a Win 8 (64bit) Firefox version is 25.0

Download the following files (Right click and "Save Link as"):
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Flash Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player 12 FULL Installer
Reboot.
Run the Uninstallers from your Downloads folder, to remove BOTH Flash Player and Shockwave.
Go to: C/Windows/System32 and delete the Macromed folder.
Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64 and delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Windows Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key+r. Tpye "regedit" [minus the quotes] and click OK.
In the Registry Editor, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE and delete the Macromedia folder.
Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your Recycle bin.
Run the Shockwave FULL Installer first, and THEN the Flash Player Installer. These are offline installers and will require no connection during the process.
If problems persist, try disbaling other plugins and extensions for Firefox, to determine if one or more is conflicting with Flash and Shockwave.

My website is telling users to install a flash/shockwave plug in but my site does not use either.

Like I said in the title we are getting the pop up bar asking users to install a flash plug in but there are not any flash objects on our site. I did an experiment and I found when I disable the shockwave plug-in on a machine that has it installed I get the pop-up and when I enable it on a machine that has it installed the pop-up goes away. I think I might have pin pointed the problem to a tracking script because when I remove the script the website does not ask for a plug-in. I contacted the people who made the script and they told me their script does not use flash in anyway. Does anyone have any idea why our useres are being asked to install the plug-in?
Here is the pop-up:

Do you have any advertising on the site that could be using shockwave? If not the script you mention must somehow be using it somehow, you have even confirmed this removing it and there is no prompt.
What happens if you try it using another browser such as Firefox?
regards
Mike

Sites using flash/shockwave cause Firefox to hang.

If the shockwave flash plugin is enabled on version >22, visiting a site that contains flash content will cause Firefox to hang/react extremely slowly. I've tried disabling all add-ons with no effect.
I'm using shockwave flash 11.2.r202.310 but it doesn't seem to matter when version of flash I use.

Thanks for the replies guys.
ComputerWhiz: No firewall or AV installed on my laptop.
cor-el: Nothing works. It is the shockwave flash plugin + >=v23 that is the problem. I've tried safemode, I've completely deleted everything eg moving the .mozilla directory and started a virgin firefox with the same results.

Flash/Shockwave issues. How to deal?

Hello,
So I was using Opera web browser for a while now. As soon as the new version of flash player came out, it is not recognizing it. I have been prompted to download the latest version of Flash over and over. So, I uninstalled OPERA and installed Google Chrome & tested a few others . The issue was that this and all other related Google web browsers were having Shockwave/flash crashes. This happens every time a you tube video is played.....
Hope there is a solution to this. Thanks 2 anyone who would be able to assist!

Here's the FAQ with a link to our archived Flash Player versions
Where do I find previous versions of Flash Player?
I'd recommend following the "clean install" procedures listed out in this FAQ

Thanks for any suggestions

Start by searching on a forum for the Flash Player. If you can't find an answer then post a question there, including browser and OS details
