Flashing colors block use of computer

My Notebook PC just started flashing colored lights and it does not allow me to operate my pc. I assume this is some hardware issue, but does anyone have any insight how to solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
If possible, try connecting the notebook to an external display and check if you see the same issue.

Why does Adobe Flash Player block me from using Firefox?

Every time I try to use Firefox, Adobe Flash Player blocks me from doing so.
I get continual messages that keep reappearing: """""""Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 has stopped working.
A problem occurred to make the program stop working correctly. Windows has closed... etc. """""""
This message just keeps re-appearing, and I can't do anything else by close out of it........
and then switch to another browser. I CAN'T USE FIREFOX.
I went in and downloaded the new version, just to make sure it wasn't being blocked by an old version,
but that didn't matter at all. It still blocks me out.
HELP!!!!!!! How do I stop this?
((((Note: I haven't been in here for over a year, and have no idea what email account you
have listed, or even how to find out. Thus, please send reply to: RogerHimesCoach at G mail dot com.))))

I'm sorry you're going through this. I suspect you're running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4. Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue. If it does, please re-enable it and give our latest Flash Player 11.6 beta a shot. You can download it here:

How do I create an orange flash transition effect using Adobe Premiere CS6?

I am trying to create an orange flash transition effect using Adobe Premiere CS6 with my MAC computer.

Try this:
Add Cross Dissolve, cut and nest
Add a Fast Blur to the nest and tweak as in first screendump
Superimpose orange Color Matte and tweak as in second screendump
Make (fixed) effects into presets for future use.
Good luck.

Screen starts flashing colors, goes black, becomes unresponsive?

When I was using my computer, the screen suddenly when gray, then starting flashing colors (Red, Green, Blue, White) then would eventually go black. The computer became unresponsive but I could still turn on/off the caps lock key. I did a hard restart and it worked fine for a while but before long the same thing happened again. Since then, it was completely unresponsive for a while (couldn't turn it on by holding down the power button) and it has worked for a little while if I take out the battery and hold down the power button for a while before trying to restart it. I've also tried to reset my PRAM and PMU, which seemed to help for a while but eventually this same thing would happen again.
Is there anything else I can do? If I can get it up and running for a while again, what should I do to prevent this from happening again?
I don't have the software disc to boot off of, but I could get in a few days if I really have to.
Thanks, I'd really appreciate any advice I can get!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode

Only use a computer for email, internet, basic computing. Is the ipad a better option than a macbook?

Used to have a macbook, bought it back in '07, had to sell it shortly thereafter.
Don't have a computer now and need one.
Looking over the macbook pro, I am wondering if it is too much computer for me.
I use a computer for emails, surfing the web and twitter.
I'm wondering if the ipad would be a better fit, or if I should be looking for a computer.
Thanks.

MacBook air just perfect i have an iPad 2 ( I know it's an old one but it is almost same ) i mostly need pc for stuff and normally I like to download movies for that I need a good memory which you won't get on an iPad best choice for you is a 11 or 13 inch MacBook air iPad is bettween comp and a phone it is good but not enought ( altleast for me ) if you take an iPad u won't the benefits of downloading zip files and many other files but with a MacBook you can do it as it supports all iPad is good for presenting stuff good for reading books , web pages are good too ( flash is not there so some sites are not good ) editing word docs or slidshows are nice and easy but not fully usefull ( simple editing options) if you convert the files say into doc it gets messy on a comp to see , plus doc files with lots of stuff like photos and tables gets messed up but if we convert to PDF then you get a nice experience , MacBook has many options in pages , numbers , keynote , you will like an iPad even I like it but like u even I am looking for a MacBook right now as I need to back up files and download movies anyways it decides unto u so go to the apple shop he will help u choice the right choice a person here will only tell good stuff and suggest what he likes but if you go to the apple store he will give you the perfect choice for u

Color blocks and lines im Photo

I just got Aperture 3. When I look at my pictures for just a few seconds they are clear then different color blocks appear in the picture. They are not present in the thumbnails only when I open a picture. Also I can open the same photos in iPhotos with no problem. If I have both iPhoto and Aperture open it does it in both programs. Apple replaced the mother board on my MacBook Pro and they say this is not a hardware problem. I'm not so sure.
Does anyone know how to fix this.
Thanks.

When I have Aperture open it appears to affect my whole system, I’m wondering if it is the same on your system? I have checked activity monitor and am not using all my RAM although I appear to be using most of it. I am going to try a clean install and see if this helps.

Flash content (embedded using SWFObject or using other methods) won't print

All Flash content embedded using SWFObject or using other methods won't print anymore, since version 3.6.4.
There is a blank square on the printed page instead of the object.
There was no trouble with previous firefox version.
I've got the issue with version 3.6.4, 3.6.6 & 3.6.7
I'm using Adobe flash player version 10,1,53,64 ; I've tried to downgrade to Adobe flash player version 9, I'd got the same issue.
I've tried from multiple computer and still had the same blank square.
Thanks for your help !

Having the same problem with our flash based design tool. For now we're recommending that our users use IE as it prints the flash objects fine. Would prefer to use Firefox, but that won't be an option until flash objects can be printed again (as they used to be).

Can I SAVE one color to use for the backgrounds of many separate paragraphs?

I have changed the background color of paragraphs in different Chapters for the purpose of making the content within that paragraph stand out.
It’s easy to pick a random color in the Inspector. Open the “Text” tab, click the “More” button, Background Fills, check “Paragraph” and select a color from the available methods.
How can I SAVE one particular color to use for as many separate paragraph backgrounds that I want to make the same color?
I’m using iBooks Author ver. 1.1
As I work on the formatting, I’d like quick & easy access to those one or two special colors that I like.
Using the color wheel I can make a rough guess for each different paragraph, but its not exact.
None of the crayons or the colors in the Pallettes is the color I’m after.
Slider are a pain to try to exactly set each time.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know whether there's a better way (or whether this will work as expected), but I would try setting a boolean flag on keyPressed and reset the flag on keyReleased, for each key of interest. To compute the x / y movements, I would check the state of all flags.
dbI was thinking about your answer a few nights ago. And I was like, wait... it works! I thought, at first (as I replied before) that it wouldn't work, but I refract what I said. Its actually a very simple solution. And I apologize for questioning your solution previously. Thanks so much!
P.S. I tested it out. Works like a charm.
-Create booleans to handle each key
-Set to true on press
-Set to false on release
-Check and update in separate thread accordingly

How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by firefox checking for vulnerabilities?

The trouble is the grey block, that asking to update Adobe Flash because the version is vulnerability. If the block of Flash object is smaller, then 100px height - there is an empty space, but not gray block with talking about version. I need to intercept the moment using JavaScript, when Firefox checking the version of plugin to make changes in my HTML code to make a GIF, but not flash.
How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by Firefox checking for vulnerabilities from JavaScript code?

hello, i don't think that this would be possible (but i'm not sure). what you could do is try to sniff the version of flash that is installed & the firefox useragent and just assume that old versions of the plugin will be blocked in this combination.
if you need more help about that, i'd recommend posting in a forum that is more specialized & knowledgeable in web development like http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25, since we here on the firefox support forums are primarily focused on support for end-users...

Can not get adobe flash to work on my computer!

I've downladed adobe flash numerous times on my computer and I can not get it to work. It always says that the download and installation has been completed, but when I go to open e-mails that need the softw the e-mail states that I do not have adobe flash on my computer! I have done the downloading and install on different computers and had no issue, but I can not figure out why it is not working on my coputer. I also removed my anti-virus software just in case that was causing the problem, but I'm still not having any luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I look forward to any advice that anyone may have.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser & version?
What is your installed Flash Player version?
Can you see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F') at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?
What mail client do you use?
And when you state "e-mails that need the softw" - do you mean you receive email messages with embedded Flash content?

Flash C5 pro used to create feature length animated films

First, I have Adobe Production Suite CS5 on it's way and have been loooking for information on using several of the programs like Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere.
How is Flash C5 pro used to create feature length animated films?
*I have been searching for days for information about using Flash in the creation of feature legenth animated films and all the videos on youtube I could find where about web related usage and so where the other I viewed that googl turned up. I did turn up one movie that Flash was used in a feature animated movie for a classical 2d animation style. The name of the movie is Romeo & Juliet, Sealed With A Kiss by Phil Nibbelink. through my searching so far one item turns up but no referance on how to set up Flash otherwise if not using them and that is - DO NOT USE ACTIONS. Ok, do not use actions and no referance on how to set up Flash to use it's tools in the creation of 2d feature animated film. I know it can be done as Phil Nibbleink's Romeo & Juliet, Sealed With A Kiss illustrates that it can.
NOTE: If you have information (links, etc) on tutorials for using Flash in feature animated film making I would appricate links to them (I would prefer video tutorials). If you know if some of the companies that create taining videoes for Flash have these type of of training videoes please post who they are and the name of the course. I hace went through some of the sites that create training videoes for Flash and I could not find any they seemed to be for web usage and used actions.
ANOTHER NOTE: If you know of any fourms that are for using Flash in feature film making please post them.
*During my searching for using Flash in feature animtion film making I read a lot of toon boom vs flash items (and I am not starting a toon boom vs flash post here) one thing that seems to stand out for toon boom is the camera fly throughs. Not having used Flash CS5 yet can this be done in Flash CS5 or is this where After Effects or Premiere is used to get that type of effect.
*Sense Flash is a vector progam and more than likely the backgrounds and some fore grounds would be made in photoshop (raster) would Flash be used to create the characters and import (if they can be imported) into After Effects or Premiere to be able to use the raster backgroud (looking for a way to use the raster background non-destruticely) and should the the raster from photoshop be brought into After Effects or Premiere as an object layer? Having look at Illustrator's new bristle brush (which create in vectors) it looks like it might be able to get a very painterly background any thoughts on this. Digressing some from Flash.
TIA
John

I found this article
2D Computer Animation Tutorials: Step-by-Step Lessons in Flash
here's the link
http://animation.about.com/od/2danimationtutorials/2D_Computer_Animation_Tutorials_StepbyS tep_Lessons_in_Flash.htm
But it does not say what the settings are to be (again is there a template or something that sets Flash cs5)

Strange color blocks appearing in transparency layers

I'm getting random color blocks appearing in a layered PSD file. Doesn't appear when the same file is opened on another machine. Color blocks move and change location and density. I created the original file and have worked in it previously (not today) Almost looks like video card issues. But doesn't happen in other programs besides photoshop? Anyone had similar issues?
Running CS2 on a Dual 2.3 G5 with 4 gb memory. Plenty of HD space.

This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
cease and desist immediately
in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the
CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.
