Flash support for Safari on the iPhone

Anyone know/heard anything about Flash support? I'm amazed how limiting browsing the web with iPhone is w/out it.

I think the main problem with flash is the input issue. Right now the iphone knows when to display a keyboard and when not to. Flash can use a non-standard method of accepting keyboard input other than a input box. (Flash can just capture keystrokes).
So if a flash application is requiring a keyboard, the iphone will have no way to know. Currently there is no method of manually bringing up the keyboard on the iphone(I'm sure it was a decision to keep the u.i. clean).
Also with flash, the have other mouse input methods (such as drag, onMouseUp, onMouseDown, etc...) which the iphone cannot support. Dragging events are captured by the iphone and produce the coll move around functionality we all love. I also read somewhere that the mouseUp and mouseDown events are both fired at the same time when a user touches the screen, which would break quite a few Flash created u.i.'s.
So the reason there is no flash support? Currently the is no way to make it elegantly work.

  • Embedded YouTube videos don't work on Safari on the iPhone.

    Sometime after June 15, 2013, embedded YouTube videos stopped working on web pages on Safari on the iPhone (iOS6).   They work on Safari on the Mac and they work in the iOS YouTube app.   I see the preview frame and the play button, but when clicking the play button, the frame goes black and nothing ever plays.    This worked up until 6/15 and the pages haven't changed.      Did Apple do something to stop them from working on the iPhone recently?

    You may have turned off an option in Flash preferences to not allow sites to store Flash cookies on your machine. Some videos made in Flash and served from third-party (non-YouTube) pages expect to be able to store Flash cookies, so the videos may not work with this Flash option turned off.
    Go to [https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html Flash Global Storage Settings Panel] which is served from Adobe/Macromedia's site and check the "Allow third-party Flash content..." box, and the box for "Store common Flash components..." where you can then manage sites you have already visited. You'll have to reload the video page after you change this setting.
    Also, leave site feedback on those sites where you experienced the problems encouraging them to use HTML5 for serving video content instead of the proprietary Flash format.

  • FTP app and Flash support for Ipod touch -- coming soon?

    I'd like two things for my ipod touch that I don't have now:
    * an FTP app, to enable me to update web sites on the go
    * browser support for web sites that use Flash
    Can anyone offer an informed opinion of when the FTP app and/or Flash browser support will be available? And am I being impatient, as the SDK is still so new?
    A related question: what's the best place of staying current with what's available for the ipod touch?

    This is a user-to-user site so no one really has an "informed" opinion and speculation is prohibited.
    You are being impatient because applications will be distributed through the new Apps Store which won't be available until June. That will also be a good place to see what is available.
    Flash availability for the iPhone/Touch is in limbo currently, until Adobe/Apple can come to some kind of understanding I would not look for it on the iPhone/Touch.
    Do a search for "Flash" over in that Search Discussions box to the right and you can catch up on the discussions regarding Flash.

  • How do I set up a specific homepage for Safari on my iPhone?

    How do I set up a specific page to be the page that opens every time I open Safari on my iPhone?  I saw that you go to Preferences, but I can't find where that is?  What are the steps from there?  Thanks.

    It actually is the answer to the question. Safari on the iPhone is not designed to allow for the setting of a home page. The only method to do it is what the last posted told you. That is how iOS handles the setting of a page, other than a bookmark in Safari. If you have a particular page you want to always open to in Safari, use the method described above which sets a shortcut on the home screen that you use instead of the regular Safari icon to start Safari.
    It could be considered a workaround, depending on how you view it.

  • Problems installing or running Adobe Flash Player for safari

    problems installing or running Adobe® Flash® Player for safari when trying to install Adobe Flash Player.pkg it asks to quit Dash Board client then brings up Exclamation mark up and quits install ??????

    Adobe Flash is pretty much a 32-bit application. You may be able to fix the problem by going into your Applications folder, and right-clicking on Safari. There is a check box that will allow you to run Safari in 32-bit mode. Try that and see if Flash works in Safari.
    I have retired my iMac, and have an HP now, but a friend helped me with the same problem when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. My PC seems to have just one 64-bit browser, that being Internet Explorer. I am using IE9 Beta in 64-bit, and the Beta for Flash "Square" in 64-bit seems to work fine. See link below:

  • Flash player for safari won't download

    Flash Player for Safari 7.04 won't download. It's not an antivirus issue because it's turned off, everything is enabled.

    Chris,
    My problem was that while the installer downloaded, the installation process always crapped out and gave me this error message: "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation". Tried everything and none of it worked. I COULD download v12 of Flash, but noticed that it used a different style of installer that has a simpler, "chunkier" progress bar and overall look, and doesn't ask about whether Flash should check for updates automatically until AFTER the install was done (different from the standard v14 installer, which has a skinnier progress bar and prompts you about auto updates before most of the installation happens).
    Just saw your post, downloaded the installer from the macromedia link you provided, and it installed fine! Superfast. Done and done.
    In doing so, however, I noticed that the alt version of the v14 Flash installer from your link also has the same simpler, chunkier type of installer as v12. is there a know problem with the standard (skinny progress bar) version of the installer and Mavericks? This has happened before, and I'm now just realizing that the installs only ever work with the "alt" style of installer.
    a) Is Adobe aware of this problem? are they working to make a fix so that i don't have to pull my hair out everytime there's a new security update for Flash?
    b) Would you please consider posting your solution in a more obvious place? I'm betting there are a lot of other Mac users having this issue, but because Adobe help can be sort of a byzantine mess (not you, obviously, but the system itself) I'm betting there are a ton of Mac users that are just giving up, like I almost did. Making this issue known, and positing the alt download will save many people many hours of grief.
    Thanks for posting your solution!
    Cheers,
    M
    FYI: I'm on a MacBook Pro with Retina (original) running 10.9.3. I have a 750 GB SSD hard drive, 16 GB of RAM, and a 2.7 GHz Core i7 processor.

    mentioned roadmap in short: Before that Flash could do anything. From now one Flash will do only two things - games and video on demand. That's all folks. In the world where technology is worth as much as number of platforms on which it is deployable I can say, Flash is walking its Green Mile.

  • Support for Safari 3.x

    I only see support for Safari 2.0 when I do a search on the
    support site. I'm wondering if this is correct and if there are
    plans to support the latest version of Safari?
    Specifically, we are certifying one of our products on Safari
    3.1.2 on the Mac, and encountered an issue where the Webhelp search
    results are cut off and not displayed. (This doesn't happen on
    3.1.2 on Windows.)

    Hi, when the itunes finished the downloading for ios 6 , the iphone turned of and shows that i have to connect it with the itunes , i already did but still not working . please appreciate your help

    First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
    Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
    I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
