Flashplayer/shockwave in Zynga games on facebook

Does anyone have a definitive answer to the problems with Shockwave Flashplayer when playing Zynga games through facebook? I've tried so many different suggestions from different sources without any permanent success. I'm using Google Chrome on Vista (contemplating a new laptop with Windows 8 - will that be any better?).

friends list are not showing in facebook game.....

  • Since downloadingthe new foxfire i am unable to play any of the Zynga games trhough facebook or directly to the website.

    Since upgrading the the newest foxfire i am now unable to download the Zynga games on facebook or going directly to the website. I went to the Abobe flash player setting and the box is checked to allow 3rd party to store data. So what is the next step. It was working fine until the upgrade.

    Any ideas? The issue is still occuring, but seems to be intermittent, though it seems to be occuring more and more often. The only work-around I have now is to do a hard reset, which resolves it temporarily, but the error comes back soon after.
    Any suggestions?

  • Will not load adobe flash, cannot play zynga games on facebook

    when asked to download the new version of adobe flash player, the first 2 files work, system says download complete , but do not get the run box or step 4

    '''''"...but do not get the run box or step 4""''''': Firefox does not have a "Run" option. What is "step 4"? Where are you getting your instructions? See if the download and install instructions below helps you.
    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    '''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''".
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

  • When playing Cityville on Facebook through Zynga games when I pick to send friends giffts or request, the window opens up but no friends are there and only since installing Firefox yesterday.

    When you play Cityville (Zynga Games) from Facebook and want to send presents or ask for request, a box comes up with the request and usually all of your friends show up. Every since loading Firefox yesterday the box comes up but my friends names do not load. Everything else is OK.

    In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • How can firefox load a complete page of a game in facebook instead of halfpage?

    When I play zynga games in facebook (mafia wars), the page won't show completely. It starts normally but the game won't show completely even if I scroll down it would still be incomplete.

    You're welcome.
    Thanks for reporting the culprit, it help others with the same problem who read this thread.

  • Worked perfectly - today won't open Zynga games, says unresponsive but using massive RAM and CPU - why?

    I've been using Firefox 4 for ages and previous versions before that. I have done nothing today to cause what is happening. I ahve not updated Adobe. Nothing has been installed or added or even uninstalled.
    Today when I go into Zynga games on Facebook, it says (not responding), my screen goes white and my CPU and RAM go mental. If you watch in Windows Task Manager - the normal for me when Firefox 4 is running properly is 121,000-330,000, however, today as soon as nothing is happens and I have the white screen the figures jump from 330,000 in steady increments until my RAM is maxed (I've a powerful Sony Vaio with dual cores and a decent CPU). I eventually had no choice but to abort through Windows Task Manager as it had reached 1,400,000 and was still climbing!!!!!
    Why????? I've done absolutely nothing different today to any other day!!
    I'd be really grateful if anyone has any suggestions?
    I have uninstalled Firefox and all the Adobe products and reinstalled. Cleaned my cache and temp files (which I do daily anyway), have done registry scans and everything is normal, have defragged and everything is normal. My other browsers are not affected - Chrome and IE are both working beautifully but I prefer Firefox.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Question i can't open games in facebook,zynga games such as cityville,farmville etc. It's up to"LOADING GAME" only...I have downloaded the latest flashplayer....why is it so?

    Question
    i can't open games in facebook,zynga games such as cityville,farmville etc. It's up to"LOADING GAME" only...I have downloaded the latest flashplayer....why is it so?

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash (aka "Shockwave Flash" in Firefox Tools > Add-ons > Plugins). '''''You DO NOT have the version of Flash for Firefox installed on your system''''':
    *there is the plugin version for Firefox and most other browsers except IE
    *there is the ActiveX version for IE only
    If you download Flash using IE, you get only the IE version (the ActiveX version). If you download Flash using a browser other than IE you get only the plugin version. '''''When updating Flash on a Windows system, you should update both unless you are using only IE as your browser.'''''
    Follow the instructions below:
    #'''Install or Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin''' to the latest version.
    #*Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
    #*If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "'''Download and information'''" or "'''Download Manual installers'''" below
    #*After download is complete, exit Firefox
    #*Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
    #**Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
    #*Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below
    #*'''Download and information''': http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #**Use Firefox to go to the above site to update the Firefox plugin (will also install plugin for most other browsers; except IE)
    #**Use IE to go to the above site to update the IE ActiveX

  • How can I update to a 64 bit version to play games on facebook & zynga so I won't have any farther problems?

    I have windows 7 Home Premiun 64 bit bit computer & I use Google Chrome to play games on Facebook & Zynga.  My Shockwave on my computer is 32 bit.  How can I update so I won't have any farther problems?

    Shockwave Player is strictly 32-bit only.
    Most games on Facebook and Zynga use Flash Player, not Shockwave Player.
    Flash Player is 32-bit and 64-bit, but you need to run it on a 64-bit browser.
    If you have more questions about Flash Player, ask in the FP forum.

  • If I have more then a few tabs open such as gmail, facebook, and a zynga game no tabs will load at all. I close and reopen firefox numorous (Im talking 7 or 8 times or many more) and shut down the zynga game and still it wont load

    If I have more then a few tabs open such as gmail, facebook, and a zynga game no tabs will load at all. I close and reopen firefox numorous (Im talking 7 or 8 times or many more) and shut down the zynga game and still it wont load the tabs or if it does and I then try to add the game or any other site at all on a tab it causes firefox to stop working (though not close) and I have to restart opening and closing it many times to get it to work at all.

    1st, you will not be able to activate your PPro1.5 on ANY new computer, see next link for the special version you MUST use
    CS2 (and earlier) Activation Server http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    2nd, you already mentioned Virtual XP, so if a direct install doesn't work, that would be the way to go... or, to just do what SHOULD work from the start, just do Virtual XP

  • Why are only the top halves of the game screens showing in facebook and yahoo zynga games

    Mafia Wars July 10, 2011
    Last time I wrote there was a problem with not being able to get the bottom of the screens in New York tiers.
    After months of not being able to finish New York, the bottoms of the tiers allowed me to finish out that level.
    Made it through Cuba just fine.
    Then into Moscow, the same thing that was happening in New York is repeating in Moscow, but not in every tier.
    Episode 1
    Baklany
    1) Can’t get to "Buy Mafiya Intel On Dmitri" job in the Baklany Episode, to complete “Hospitalize Some Nationalists” job with the needed “Dossier on Dmitri” items. Below “Kill A Local Gang Leader for the Mafiya” is not showing.
    Episode 2
    Boets
    1) Can’t get to "Kill An Investigative Reporter" job in the Boets Episode, to complete “Circulate Damaging Photos” job with the needed “Set of
    Photos of Karpov” items. Below “Abduct A Candidate's Wife For the Mafiya” is not showing.

    After not completing Bangkok went on to Las Vegas.
    District 1
    North Las Vegas
    1) Can’t get past “Open Fire On Victor's Crew”, something about “Needed Items” is not opening up any jobs beneath that job.
    All other Districts are locked as they should be.
    After not completing Las Vegas went on to Italy.
    Region 1
    Roma
    Won’t let me complete “Boss: Confront Don Antonio De Rossi”, a screen pops up, “If you defeat the boss, the chapter will be mastered and any jobs you may not have finished will be lost.”
    All other Regions are locked as they should be.
    So, what can be done so I can finally complete the jobs that have no access to the bottoms of the lower tiers? As the game has been from the start, “Step by step” has been interrupted.
    Today is 7-10-11. How far in the future will I ever hear back from you this time?

    Screen shots would be too numerous to try and load into this message. Too large a file.

    I am having the same problem with Treasure Island and PetVille. When I click on the "Play" tab on both of them, I get a blank blue screen; however, I have no problem playing any other games like Sorority Life. So why is the new version of Firefox having an issue supporting Zynga games and Internet Explorer isn't? Would reinstalling an older version of Firefox fix it, and where can you get an older version to download?

  • Who do i speak to about an issue with shockwave. it is running my cpu at 100%. when i play Zynga games on FB. don't remember giving permission for storage or cloud.

    a couple of weeks ago i noticed a real slowdown when playing Zynga games on FB. opened task manager (XP) and saw plugin-container.exe running at 400,000+ k. ran search thru windows and found plugin-container for mozzila. checked and updated all plugins but issue persists. disabled each plugin seperately while playing, with task manager open and disabling shockwave was the only one that had effect on plugin running. unfortunately this also crashed the game. know its not your plugin but any advice or directions would be appreciated. ( my husband's solution is the simplest of course but i really enjoy my games!) Thanks for your time.
