Flash Update Breaks loadMovie command

After a recent update of the Flash player, a number of older swfs have suddenly stopped working after many years. It has just happened in the last month. First in Chrome and now Firefox, IE, and Safari in both Windows and MacOS. The problem appears to be related to the loadMovie command. All of the affected SWFs were written in AS2 and our clients aren't willing to pay for recoding the files in AS3. Specifically, the loadMovie command is no longer loading JPEG files into a movie clip holder. An example of a script command that suddenly stopped working is this:
photoFile = "images/front_"+_global.projName1+".jpg";
photo.loadMovie(photoFile);
The image file names and directory structures have not been altered. There have been no identifiable changes to the servers these scripts reside on.
Is this a bug with the recent Flash Player updates? I hope the loadMovie command is not being deprecated. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
I've noticed that too.
One friend reported that his portfolio website doesn't work anymore. Its one main.swf file which loads gallery.swf file which holds photos.
It was working fine for me, than I realised that my flash player is 11.5, after I upgraded it into latest 11.6 it stopped working.
Website is full screen swf. When gallery (button click) load attempt is made, instead of loaded gallery, blank screen is shown.
Right click shows: "Movie not loaded" message
gallery.swf is loaded with this command: loadMovie("gallery.swf", "GalleryHolder");
It's 3 years old AS2 project.
It's not big deal for me because Ill re-make it with jquerry gallery, and flash is generally being hated anyway.
Im not happy about bad hype against flash but we need to move on.
But it could make big problems for other people because their projects will stop working.
Regards

New flash update breaks youtube (11.7.700.169)

I just downloaded and installed the newest flash update (11.7.700.169) and now youtube.com is broken. Please fix.
System info:
Flash version: (11.7.700.169)
Mac OS 10.6.8 (64-bit)
Browser: Safari
500 Internal Server Error
Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.
If you see them, show them this information:

Internal Server Error means that an error occurred on the Youtube server, not on your machine.

Flash 11.7.700.169 update breaks Reader 11.02 - Portfolio's in PDF

System/Software info:
OS: Win7 x64
Acrobat Reader 11.02
Adobe Flash version (as reported by the flash control panel applet): 11.7.700.169 for both the ActiveX and Plug-in Version
The most recent flash update seems to have broken the ability to open PDF files that use the Portfolio feature.
When launching a PDF that has a Portfolio, the user will get the following error:
I have downloaded and installed this version, as well as the most recent .msi version as well, and no change.
I have also uninstalled Reader and both versions of flash (both through Windows and by using Adobe's flash removial tool), and then
re-installed with the same problem.
This is not occuring on the Windows XP machines however, only our Win7x64 (we don't run any win7x32).
At first, I thought it was only occuring on machines that also had Adobe Standard 10.6 installed, but after some more follow up, it
is occuring on machines without Adobe standard installed as well.
I've read that Adobe has de-coupled flash from Reader, and that the plugin version of Flash is required to view this content (even if the system does not use a browser that requires it). But both versions of the flash player are definately installed and up to date.
Any ideas?

You need to ensure you have installed the NPAPI version of Flash Player (the one for Firefox browsers), not the ActiveX version.
Adobe Flash beta 18 fixes the problem.

Safari will not load pages after flash update yesterday

I am trying to access pages like CNN.com...with the nice background image on the home page...it does not load the images. Also, articles like "34 sports photos" do not load the flash player so I can see the photos.
how do I fix that or revert?

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

In trying to install a Flash update on my Mac (version 10.7.5), I'm getting an "unable to install metafile" message after initialization starts (at the 25% point)-regardless of the site from which I download the installation folder.

Hello everybody, good news: after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 I've been able to run the installer and all went fine.
Mountain Lion allows user to force execution through the context-menu (CTRL-click) Open command and it does work, just that simple.
So my advice is: if you want to install or re-install Flash Builder 4.6 on a Mac with Lion installed, upgrade to Mountain Lion or better to avoid problems.
Apple introduced some (not all) Gatekeeper functionalities in 10.7.3 and following, but apparently you need a full-fledged 10.8 to have also what you need to circumvent a Revoked Certificate error.
Since usually OS X has auto updating active, if you are running Lion you end up with 10.7.5 and won't install FB46. If you manage somehow to hold 10.7.2 I suppose you should be able to install FB46, sincerely I didn't check it out. Anyway it's simpler and safer to move on to 10.8.x.
Bye

Able to only view some clips after installing latest flash update

I find that I am able watch some clips, but only after having switched to a different quality setting as with this clip: http://www.break.com/index/worlds-fastest-roller-coaster-1955594
which will fail to run at 360p, but will run at 480p. Same problem with other clips, but if there is no option to change the setting, I am unable to play any clips.
I have uninstalled the flash update and reinstalled, then updated my graphic card driver, cleaned hd and have seen that it will play all clips sometimes for awhile and then go back to having these problems.
My connection is 7mbit.
Ideas?
TY in advance

I went to the site that you linked, and I can see the clip at 360p, but with lots of buffering breaks (my connection is 1Gbps), but won't load at all at 480p. I think something is wrong with that site.

Adobe Reader 9.1 and Flash 10 installation SCCM command

Hi All
I planning to update our Adobe Flash and Reader version to the latest one.
Our environment is a little messy because we have got different version all over the place. Have you guys had same issue how should I remove different version of adobe application via SCCM?
Another question is do you guys have got command line to install Adobe Flash and Reader via SCCM using msiexec option to install with out reboot, silent and never ask for adobe update notification (As attached file)?
Thank you all.

No let me clarify. Adobe has a tool that allows you to create an answer/configuraiton file to do unattended installs of Adobe products. So what we were able to do was use this application suppied by Adobe to create a separate answer file (MST file) that was used in conjunction with the .msi package to deploy the Adobe software with all of the settings and configurations required by the organization, such as the disable of auto update and application of patches etc.
What you need is the stand alone redistibutable adobe msi package and the following program.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3993
If you download that application it lets you create a custmized install of Adobe Acrobat using that MST transform file in conjunction with the .msi file. Once you have created the answer file and configured the install the way you want all you have to do is create the SCCM package using that syntax pointing to your custom msi and mst files and it should execute. It is very granular right down to removing splash screens etc.
I also confirmed that for the flash update I just used the following command for my program to execute within SCCM and this worked to install the latest version of Flash. This just does a silent install
Msiexec /i <path to Adobe Flash msi file> /qn
This just does a silent install of the mis package with no user interaction. There is no removal or reboot required for adobe flash so it should not be an issue.
Here is a list of the different commands and switches you can use on an msi package.

Can I turn off the Dashboard to install Adobe Flash update?

Does anyone know how to turn off the Dashboard? Adobe Flash player install asks me to turn off Dashboard during an install process. Any ideas?

Installing the Flash Update on your Mac
This is what I had to do to install it; I'm using OS X 10.9 Mavericks; you may get different results if you're still using Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion (earlier OSs)
I encourage you to do backup your system, download and install the Free, most current operating system for Macs, Mavericks OS X 9.
At some point, Adobe Flash will offer you the opportunity to update itself. It's a good idea, to do so.
Step 1 will be to download the Update .dmg file, which installs the update.
It will probably be in your Downloads folder; double click on it.
When the folder presents itself in a new Finder window, double-click on it.
At some point in the Install, it will pop up a notice to Shut Down Safari/Opera/Chrome/Firefox (all Browsers). That's easy.
It will also likely insist that you shut down a Dashboard Client. Only the Dashboard Client won't show when you try Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
Here's what I had to do, to make it work; there may be a more efficient way, but I didn't find it.
Here's what worked for me, and I'm going to spell it all out the Dummy way, 'cause that's how I need things done for me! : )
Click on an empty space on the Desktop to activate Finder. In the Finder Menu (top) click on the GO tab (top menu) and scroll down to Utilities. Click on the Activity Monitor. In the CPU tab (any of them will work), Click onDock and, holding the Command button (Splat) next to the Space Bar, click on all incidents of Dashboard Client. They're easy to find-- they all have a little grey folder icon to the left of them.
Click on VIEW in the top menu, scroll down to Select Processes, and click on that. The window will simplify and isolate, showing only the selected processes that are keeping you from installing the Flash update.
Then click on the big red stop sign at the top (Quit Process).... (This didn't work for me. No 'Stop' sign.)
Alternately, once you've 'collected' the appropriate files, click on and select each one individually, go up to View in the top menu, scroll down to Quit Process. After a brief pause, it will quit. Quit all of the processes selected.
Make sure everything else is closed and then try to install the Flash Player again. It should work! (Fingers crossed!)
'Always a good idea to Reboot, afterwards, and you should be good to go.

What are the things 10.6.8 update break?

After the 10.6.8 update I am having so many issues,
first, the %100 cpu usage of dock, disabled parallels, and now it is ok,
then, a reboot and I am unable to login, I enter my password, it begins the login process, then logs me out,
if I persist, it logs me in after a couple of tries, but each time a few of my applications are missing at random, and the environment is very very unstable, sometimes I see no desktop background, sometimes I start firefox and I am logged out again.
I've seen some people suggesting removal of login items to resolve a similar but not the same issue, so I'm inclined to think overall, there is an issue with some applications which 10.6.8 update breaks.
For starters my login items are:
GrowlHelper
Geektool
EyeTv Helper
Canon IJ Network scanner
ituneshelper
Magicprefs
Sophosuiserver
Does anyone have any problems with any of these?
I only verified the parallels desktop 6 issue up to now.

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:

I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:

Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

Flash update 12.0.0.77

Just wanted to make someone that works in the software department aware that Flash or Active X 12.0.0.77 is crashing videos on youtube. I work in a computer repair department and this is the 6th computer that after the flash update is done it no longer plays youtube videos. Once I disable it in addons it starts playing videos again. There is something wrong with the update FYI

Appreciate the "heads up", but... six computers is hardly a "bug".
More than ten thousand people an hour wordlwide download and install Flash Player with no problems... all day, every day.
My experience here has taught me that 99.99999% of the time, it's either hardware or third party software causing the problems.
Everything from ad blockers, to ActiveX filters in IE, to bad video drivers can cause Flash playback problems.
Add to that, Microsoft really screwed up IE11 by rewriting the User Agent Strings so most sites don't even recognize the browser anymore, let alone the plug-ins. Disabling it will force some sites (like YouTube) to default to HTML5 videoplayback that requires no plug-in, and that's what you're probably seeing.

You Tube requires Flash update. Worked for laptop Windows 7 but not PC Windows Vista. Can you help?

You Tube said I needed latest Adobe Flash Player, so uninstalled old version and reinstalled latest version 11.6.602.171 on PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS. My system says it's there, but it still won't work on You Tube - still get same message saying Ineed latest version.
Had same message on my Laptop running Windows 7 and it updated and works fine. I use Internet Explorer 9.
Detailed Problem Description: Problem with downloading latest Adobe Flash update and viewing YouTube. On PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS, You Tube home page red banner at top said I needed to install latest Adobe Flash Player but even after installing, it does not work and will not play most videos in browser and shows black screen with message still asking to download latest version. Seems to be rather random as to which videos it will play and which ones it won't, although there may be some common link (see examples below). I thought it might have been HTML5 problem but I have successfully played HTML5 and Non-HTML videos through Adobe test site (Adobe Flash Player Help/Video Playback Issues) as well as Stage Videos. (Note: Had same You Tube messages when viewing on Laptop running Windows 7 but that updated without problem.)
Ran Adobe Uninstall. Closed all other programs before reinstalling direct from Adobe (rather than You Tube link). No change.
Ran all Adobe troubleshooting suggestions listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_.
Removed browsing data and deleted cache, checked that Internet Tools\Safety\Active X filtering was disabled (but in Internet Option\Security, Active X controls are enabled), disabled Hardware Acceleration, restarted computer but no change to You Tube viewing. Re-enabled, but no change. (WOULD LOVE ADVICE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS ENABLED OR DISABLED.)
I have updated graphics drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT- although had to do manually as NVIDIA auto system scan said "could not detect your GPU". Noted they said Windows Vista supports up to Direct X 10, but my system is running Direct X 11. Had optional update message for "nVidia Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM 1.2, other Hardware NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT" on both PC & laptop. Laptop downloaded fine. Tried to download on PC but was not successful. Error Code 80070103, possibly because system had already been updated? Current driver version 9.18.13.1407 - "Windows has determined that your current driver software is up to date".
Running Norton 360 but it did not block or indicate any problems with Flash Player download.

Dear Chris,
Thanks for reply. I ran the recommened Adobe uninstall program so assumed it deleted whatever it should have, before installing new version. When it didn't work I followed instructions in Flash Player help page (screen shot below) which said to delete the Roaming App Data/Macromedia/Flash folder and Roaming App Data/Adobe/Flash folder, which I did.
Below are screen shots of C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash files as they currently stand. I have a fuzzy recollection that it was deleted at some point because I think I went searching for it during one troubleshooting session and it couldn't be found (but maybe I'm geting confused with the App Date folders?). Anyway I presume these current files are all post-reinstallation as the dates are all 5 or 6 March (did them before and after midnight). I'm on Australian time - not sure where you are. However, notice install.log date is 21/05/2010 and Flash Player Trust sub-folder is dated 6/09/2008.
When I right click on the screen of both videos that will and won't play, I just get a list of options starting at "Copy video URL" down to "About HTML5". So not sure what you mean when you say "For the videos that do play, when you right click on them what version of Flash Player is reported at the bottom of the context menu?" as I can't see any info like this. Do I click somewhere else?
If you are able to get the info you are after yourself, two videos that will work are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKlTN1JN7w and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
Also, with hardware acceleration enabling or disabling, the only place I can find to do this is through the Adobe Flash Help page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_
and right clicking on the Flash Player info box, going into Settings and checking or unchecking the Enable box. Do you know if there is another setting in my actual computer where I can do this and or there's some other setting I need to change? There doesn't seem to be anything similar when I go through Conrol Panel - Flash Player.
5. Delete all Flash Player browsing data
a.. Click Start > Control Panel.
b.. Double-click Flash Player.
c.. In the Flash Player Setting Manager, click Advanced.
d.. Under Browsing Data and Settings, click Delete All.
6. Remove Flash Player cache
a.. On your computer, select Start > Run. (On Windows 7, click Start and type in Search Programs and Files.)
b.. Type %appdata%\Adobe and click OK.
c.. Delete the Flash Player folder.
d.. Repeat step 1 and type %appdata%\Macromedia.
e.. Delete the Flash Player folder.

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7. From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful. According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it). Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen. This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D.
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well. I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine. Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen. It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen... If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

Mac OSX 10.4.8 Update Breaks Raid Striping -- System will no longer boot

Hi,
I'm a newbie from the PC world with a Mac Pro. For the last 8 hours I've been trying to get a Raid-0 configuration to work with no success.
The Raid array constructs ok and the system boots. Once that's done the Software Update screen arrives and I would select install all... then the machine would not boot. I get a Grey Shade like affect and the message to power off and restart. Powering off does nothing.
So I started again for the Nth time and added each Software Update individually. All loaded and rebooted successfully until the 10.4.8 Update.
As soon as that loads, installs and restarts the machine will not boot.
I called Apple's Tech Support and they told me they do NOT support RAID on this machine. I said what are you talking about. They put me on hold talked to a supervisor and came back with the same story. I just don't get it...
So anyone have any insight and advice on why the update breaks my Raid-0? What can I do to get over the problem (I'd like to have the RAID...)?
Thanks for the assistance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, you needed an emergency boot drive anyway to repair your RAID boot drive. Just use the same one in addition to a working clone or backup of your regular system.
Apple made it easy to install or update security updates and system updates from an alternate drive (but you will have to use the stand-alone (combo preferably) updaters instead - which many use already as normal part of upgrades for years now (they seem more useful and reliable).
My preference is a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps and minimal home directory - no media files - and fast, like 10K Raptor. I use RAID for my home directory so it isn't on the boot drive for years to improve performance and keep the OS separate. Never a problem and nice mix.
