File - Publish setting - HTML tab
Check the box - Detect Flash Player
Hit the Publish button, flash now generated html with the

Need server vm but don't want to force users to download JDK
Hi,
I need the numerical performance of the Windows 1.4.2 server vm for a 3D product I am working on, but don't want to force my users to download the entire JDK to get it. What is the official line regarding whether I can install just the server vm within their existing JRE? And can the vm be set within an applet?
This of course also poses issues such as version control, both dealing with what is currently installed and now also dealing with auto-updates.
I am currently paying a 325% performance penalty when using the client vm for numerical work!
Andy.Hi,
I need the numerical performance of the Windows 1.4.2
server vm for a 3D product I am working on, but don't
want to force my users to download the entire JDK to
get it. What is the official line regarding whether I
can install just the server vm within their existing
JRE? No. Basically the entire JRE must be installed. There are certain parts that can be left out. You can check the readme for a list of those. I doubt it is going to save much.
I could be mistaken but I also think you will find that getting the VM to run in server mode will also require a configuration change in the browser - and you are not going to be able to do that via a normal applet. And it will impact all java from that point on as well. -
When will Mozilla force users to download the FF 4.x?
with certain apps not working with FF v4 how long do we have before Mozilla forces users to upgrade to 4.x?
You are never forced to download Firefox 4.0, it is an optional upgrade.
Mozilla are currently also releasing updates for Firefox 3.5.* and 3.6.* -
How to direct user to download Flash 9
I just finished making a game. But Somone was trying it out
and they received this error message...
"Alternate HTML content should be placed here.This content
requires the Adobe Flash Player.Get Flash"
They didn't have Flash 9 and thus couldn't run the AS3 game.
However, since they already had the Flash Player, they didn't think
they needed to download the Flash Player again. Is there a pre-made
javascript that can be used to tell people they need to upgrade to
Flash 9 and then give them a link? I'm fairly new to ActionScript
programming. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if you have
any feedback on the game, I'd love to hear it.
Here's the game link:
http://www.wooingskills.com/WooingSkillsTrivia.htmlYes, that's probably the message in my original post. The
only problem is that it doesn't explain that the user has the wrong
version. The guy who tried it thought something was wrong with my
program because he already had Flash. But he didn't have Flash 9.
So is there a way to modify the html that Flash publishes so that
it indicates the version is the problem? -
Downloading Flash Player plays advertisement -- and installs a virus?
I've had this problem 3 times consecutively trying to restore my system after it was destroyed by what seems to be a virus. It took that many tries before I realized the in-your-face advertisement and problem process are coming from Adobe itself.
THE PROBLEM
The apparently viral process runs as SVCHOST and uses the RasMan (remote access manager) service, apparently to transmit the contents of your hard drive to someone across the internet. It takes 99% of CPU, 1/2 Gig of memory, a lot of disk activity, and high transmit volume with low receive volume over the network. Unplug the network, and the SVCHOST falls to about 35% CPU with more intermittent disk activity. Plug the network back in, and it climbs back to 99% with high disk activity, and high transmit volume. It seems clear that it's copying the hard drive out to the network. Before I realized that, I thought it might be an internal process and just let it run to get it over with. It just got worse, finally running the machine out of memory and making it almost too slow to terminate the SVCHOST. When I finally did terminate it, the machine returned to normal.
WHY I THINK IT COMES FROM ADOBE
I restored my system to a known clean state from a disk image. I've done that 5 times now. The first thing I do on booting the restored system is wait and check for that process -- it's not there. Next, I update Firefox, then wait again. No problem, as long as you don't click on the Update Flash Player link. Then you click on that link, and immediately there's a pop-up and it plays audio saying "You've won a free Xbox", or else some other advertisement -- it's not always the same -- and also opens a tab to a site outside of both Firefox and Adobe. Some advertising site. So, I first thought I'd been spoofed by a false advertisement and unwittingly clicked on a malicious ad banner. Restored the system again, and next time went directly to Adobe. Clicked the link to download Flash Player, and... immediately, a similar ad popup and tab appeared, and it played a "congratulations! .... you've won ____" audio clip.
Right after each incident where the ad appeared, the computer began bogging down with disk activity and high CPU consumption by that SVCHOST process, and apparently copying out the hard drive to the internet (high network transmit activity).
IT'S NOT THE PLAYER ITSELF
I never even got around to downloading and installing the player. The trouble started right after that ad popping up.
CONCLUSION
So, Adobe has sold out. Not only is Flash responsible for most viruses transmitted, now just to get the player Adobe itself is shoving an obnoxious ad in our faces which installs a trojan. A Malwarebytes scan before the Adobe-shoved ad came up clear. Another scan after the Adobe-shoved ad detected a trojan and attempted to remove it, but it just comes back every time you restart the machine, and copies your business machine's hard drive out to the network.
So, Adobe, who has obtained copies of my business's intellectual property (I'm a software developer) and financial records, as well as sensitive data such as accounts and passwords?
CONSEQUENCES
Incidentally, this came at the moment when I was transitioning from developing native applications for desktop and mobile platforms. It was my intention to transition to using Adobe Flex for most work in the next few years at least. I had the Flash Builder on two of my systems, and was starting to work with it.
But this incident, combined with numerous past incidents that have made me absolutely hate both Flash and Adobe, was the final straw. I have deleted all Adobe products from all of my systems, and will not be using Adobe Flash or Flex or any other Adobe products for development or anything else. Now I understand why Steve Jobs also dumped Adobe -- it's nothing but a viral company! Adobe itself is like a virus.
Thanks for wasting a day on a holiday weekend trying to restore my system just so I can resolve a minor customer issue. Thanks, gals. Hope you enjoy the millions you get from that advertisement, but in my case it caused me to return to native development for all platforms instead of using Flash, Air, Flex, or any of the other viral stuff you use to invade 99% of all systems on the planet and then shove ads and more spyware on us.
I've also uninstalled Photoshop. (The uninstallation took 45 minutes.) I can just use GIMP, it's good enough now. Adobe = BANNED, because all that Adobe stands for anymore is VIRAL.
Thanks againThanks for the reply. I forgot to include:
-- Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) running on a 1.9 MHz Turion X2, with 2G memory
-- Already-installed Flash version was 10.x, I think 10.1, but hadn't been updated for months since it was a restored backup.
-- Firefox 3.6.13, just updated to 3.6.18 (yes, I've tried 4.0, it was slow and annoying, so I went back)
-- Other software on the machine: Microsoft Office, development tools (Visual Studio, Eclipse with Andriod and RIM plugins, BlackBerry JDE, Sun Java SDK, Firefox, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Adobe Reader, Adobe AIR, Adobe Shockwave, Flash Builder, and a few old trusted versions of minor utilities such as WinZip, DivX, Grep, etc.)
-- Only changes for several months were: Installed Flash Builder, updated Firefox, tried to update Flash Player
I only reacted this way because I've lost SO MUCH time and also data, adding up no doubt to YEARS of time, primarily because the platforms of two companies (Microsoft and Adobe) are like warm, moist, undressed flesh wounds that just invite every kind of infection to enter and flourish. It's not just their prevalence, it's their design. For example, why can a Flash program insert native code into a SVCHOST, when it's nearly impossible to figure out what's running in the SVCHOST, what it's doing, where it came from, and how to kill it permanently? That just creates conditions favorable to malware.
Anyway, after restoring my system to a snapshot of a known clean state, I first selected Check for Updates in Firefox, it downloaded it update. Then I unplugged from the net before letting it restart and install, and it did its thing. Then I plugged back in and went directly to www.adobe.com, selected Flash Player under Downloads, clicked Download Now, and then up popped the advertisement right after the click.
Previously, I let Firefox finish its update still plugged in -- it took me to their site, where a banner appeared saying Flash needed to be updated. I clicked that, and a similar ad popped up (for a different product, and using a different URL, but the same type of thing -- an instant audio message and a new tab plus a small pop-up.)
So it seems clear that Adobe has decided to make some extra millions by forcing everyone who downloads Flash Player (at least from a Windows machine last night and this morning) to hear "Congratulations! You've just won an imaginary Xbox 360 in compensation for letting our ad partners copy your hard drive and pay us money at your expense -- you thought Adobe would just give you a Player for free?! If you're further stupid enough to try to claim your imaginary prize, just enter more personal information, as well as the address and phone number of your girlfriend, because what Flash is all about is invading the home, popping up and penetrating the market by force, never really taking NO for an answer -- we'll just starve her and keep asking until she says Yes."
Ruthless advertising is just completely out of control on the internet. When you show up on the site of a major company and get hit with an obnoxious scam pop-up ad that's just like something you'd get from making the mistake of visiting some unknown website -- you know, the kind that escape the borders of the window and say you've just won a million dollars, and that are usually followed by a phony "virus scanner" taking over your machine any moment -- then internet ethics have been completely overrun by the glut for advertising money and collecting valuable information from users.
Can't BELIEVE I got a pop-up ad and spyware from trying to download Flash Player directly from Adobe's site, what is this company coming to? I don't remember the details exactly, but there was some other instance -- with Reader, I think -- where they were bundling spyware with it, and doing it in a way that you would not realize it would be installed, and then it was hard to get rid of completely. There was a big row about it, and I remember having to restore my system multiple times there too, to ensure no contamination. That's why I'd gone back to an earlier version of Reader, but now I've deleted all Adobe software completely. It is the most unethical of all the big technology companies, no-one is more ruthless or viral than Adobe.
You've got plenty of money, you're rolling in money, and you resort to stuff that crooks use to make their start-up capital? -

Why is adobe forcing me to download Chrome and the Google Toolbar with Flash?
Why is adobe forcing me to download Chrome and the Google Toolbar with Flash? I'd rather not see CNN videos than have to have Chrome and the Google Toolbar on my computer.
ScottSatellite wrote:
the only way Adobe was offering the Flash download from CNN was if you accepted Google Toolbar and Chrome at the same time.
You shouldn't download Adobe software from anywhere but the adobe.com domain. If you download it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ you will get an opt-out for Google Chrome (or McAfee, or whatever is on today's menu):
Better yet, use the offline installers that were posted earlier.
While I use many Google products and services, Google Chrome is not one of them. I especially don't like how it installs, setting itself as the default browser without asking, and when you uninstall it, it will remain the default browser, which of course causes lots of problems. -
Downloading Flash Professional CS6: Gets to 99% and crashes.
Hi,
I'm having some very serious problems downloading Flash CS6 onto my computer. I have a 2009 Macbook Pro and just recently had all the parts replaced (new 512GB hard drive, 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3, 2.53 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor) and just installed Mavericks (10.9.4).
Flash CS6 worked perfectly before my new parts, but now when I try to install it initializes the installer, begins the installation, gets to 99%, freezes, and ultimately crashes my computer. I have tried all of the troubleshooting I've found (restarting the computer, downloading the .dmg from different browsers, using the Adobe CC Cleanup Tool). And, because I have to force restart my computer each time, no installation logs are recorded in the library.
The errors that I see in the PDApp are as follows:
[ERROR] DWANative - Error in dwa_getInstalledPathOfPayload, pdbSession is NULL.
P6Flex.ValidateSerialStatusCommand Received validate serial response : ERROR_SN_VALID
[ERROR] IMSLib - Failed in getting value for key in OPMGetValueForKey

So, I have this crazy cool site that I did in Flash 8. I used
all sorts of the features that you could never do before and it
looks stellar. Now, my only problem is that not everybody has Flash
8 and when users of the previous Flash Players view it, there's a
lot thats missing.
My question is this:
How do I basically force the user to get Flash 8? The
standard "would you like to upgrade to flash 8" doesn't really
drive home the point. And if they can't get flash 8, how can I make
it so that they can still see the most important visuals such as
text and so on?well, that may be misleading - you certainly can incorporate
Flash detection that sniffs out what
player version they currently have and redirect them to the
download page. There's player detection
built in to the publish settings (check hekp docs) but there
are other methods like ExpressInstall:
http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/
search google and especially the devnet site because
detection has been around for as long as flash
has and been discussed in the forum on an almost weekly
basis.
hope this helps.

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed. -
Downloading Flash in a zip file
Hi,
Is it possible to download Flash Player in a zip file format,
with only the files NPSWF32.dll, flashplayer.xpt, GetFlash.exe and
GetFlash.exe.manifest?
The idea is to unzip those files in Mozilla Firefox's
\plugins and \components (for flashplayer.xpt) and, after that, we
have Flash running in a Windows box. We can do it in Linux.
It'll be nice if Macromedia disposes this kind of download
for Windows users, especially users like me, who download Firefox
in zip files (I avoid MSI and EXE installers as much as possible).
Thanks in advance,
Wilson.Got the solution:
Here is the way I can write the download a file , unzip it and write onto disk.
URL url = new URL(urlString);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
GZIPInputStream zipStream = new GZIPInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(outFilename);
while ((len = zipStream.read(buf)) > 0)
out.write(buf, 0, len);
out.close(); -
HELP!! CANNOT download FLASH @ all
My mom (a Mac user) did something to my computer a PC when
she was here last week... loaded some mapping program and when she
was done she deleted it... only I think she got carried away. My
Flash Player is no longer on my computer. I have Adobe Reader but
everything regarding Flash is gone!!!
My HP is only four months old and has been EXCELLENT up until
now. I am a 'user' of the computer... I don't normally dork around
with settings and stuff because I am afraid of screwing it up and
not knowing how to fix... But here I am...
I have tried reloading from this adobe site the newest flash
player ... and I get the download page... without the download
button icon for me to push and iniate the process. It just isn't
there. At first I was having some kind of issue tied in with Java
and I managed to get that fixed and now I can at least 'see' some
little icons on certain pages, but I cannot download Flash Player
from the source.
I found a site somewhere suggesting to completely wipe any
remnants of flash from the computer so I managed to 'uninstall'
it... and now it doesn't show up as a program file at all. But I
still cannot load ANY version of Flash Player.
I run Internet Explorer and have nothing to do with Firefox
or Motzilla or those things.
Not sure if it matters, but I also cannot open my yahoo
instant messenger. I also get an error message (which lead me to
the Java issue) when I wanted to open my mail.
I know enough to really screw this up more, and now I know
enough to never let my mom near my computer again...
Does anyone know of a site that has a better 'help' area than
this one, and a bit more interaction. I am begining to think I need
to completely reset the computer.
Any advice would be extremely helpful.
Thank you
SuzanneThank you for replying...
I am referring to flash that lets you VIEW... I didn't even
know about the 'creative' side of Flash Player.
I am running Vista and have IE7, and I am fairly certain I
had Flash Player Version: 9,0,47,0 installed before it disappeared.
I have (had) my system set up to automatically update when new
things came out.
I have also noticed that there might be an issue with Quick
time... I do run iTunes on my computer, and have QuickTime. I have
changed all my defaults so Quick time is not the default.
Thank you for any help or direction you can point me too!

Help downloading flash and problems with Safari
Hi
I've got two questions. I'm aware that the main problem is my operating system is old (OS X 10.4.11, Safari 4.1.3) I'm saving up for a new computer, but meanwhile....
1) Sometimes when I go to open an address this comes up:
"Safari can’t open “http://www.thegreenparent.co.uk/downloads/Writers_Guidelines_2010.pdf” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “http:”."
2) I'm desperately trying to download Adobe Flash as I can't listen to radio/watch films etc without it. It's a real pain. I don't know how it happened, until a couple of weeks ago I could listen to BBCiPlayer etc no probs, but now when I try it tells me to download flash - I go to the Adobe flash site, download the programme, restart and still BBCiPlayer asks for flash. I've had a look through the forums here and allowed permissions, plus I downloaded 'wimpy' nothing has worked... help!
Thanks in advance for your help..
MaryThe latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
