Having to Double-Click Flash Objects in Browser to use

Hello,
Has anyone else experienced the annoying Double-Clicking of
Flash objects in your browser?
In other words, a Flash object will load and play just fine
in my browser, but I have to click it once to activate it then
click again to use buttons.
I'm assuming this might be a security setting for my browser,
but I can't figure it out.
Can anyone assist?

Ok - you really just need to use the search function here -
soon this thread will contain replies
from everyone telling you to search first - because this is
asked literally everyday and often
several times per day - yet, it seems to be the least
searched topic - just google it or search the
forum - been asked and answered several times per day for
months - not flaming, just trying to help
because so often, questions have already been answered here
many times and searching is just plain
quicker.
go here:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=group:*flash*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
(it is the google groups archive of this forum)
and type in "active content"
over 1600 returns.
It is the reult of a Eolas vs Microsoft patent lawsuit that
was top web/tech news just a couple
months ago. Tons of resources on it - search google or
adobe.com or microsoft.com.
good luck

    You can (I do all the time). The oreview window can be resized by dragging the message list window border - you might accidentally have closed it up

  • Double clicking an image in Browser view

    I see that the behavior for double clicking an image in Browser view has changed between Aperture 2 & 3. In version 2, double clicking an image would jump from Browser view to zoom in on that image in full screen mode. Now in version 3, double clicking just switches to that image in Viewer mode in the main window, without entering into full screen mode.
    While I guess this change makes some sense given the changes to full screen mode in v.3, my old fingers have gotten used to doing things the old way. To recreate what I used to do in v.2 I need to double click, then hit 'F' to do to full screen mode and then do the reverse to get back where I started.
    Is there anyway I can change this behavior to the old v.2 way? I see lots of ways to customize hotkeys and commands, but nothing to change behaviors for a double click.
    Thanks!

    I can't find anything, but I'm still finding my way around!
    I don't think you need to double click and press F..... just pressing F should change views.
    Another way is to drag the "Full Screen" icon into the toolbar, and you can just click that.

  • HT201406 i'm having to double click everything & the slide feature is not working.  What's the problem?

    i'm having to double click everything & the slide feature is not working.  What's the problem?  Resetting fixes it for a couple seconds then it goes right back. 
    i.e. If I go to open my mailbox, i have to 1st select the icon. then double tap it to open.  same thing once I get to an email.

    At a guess, turn off VoiceOver:   Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver.  Use three fingers to scroll.

  • Flash object causing browser to close

    I have a flash object that is loading in a iframe on one of
    my web pages. I have asked two friends to preview the site using
    IE6 for me and both said that this page caused their browser to
    close. I have no trouble looking at this page in IE7 and Firefox on
    my computer. Why would they be having a problem?
    Here is the site, once there click on Photo Album in the
    navigation bar:
    www.robertandsharon.com
    Thanks,
    Sharon

    it could be a flashPlayer problem... or IE6 does not support
    that flash
    why ? because of some variables or some external facts
    the flash is posted into a iframe... trie to implement it
    without that iframe

  • I am having to double click on everything in outlook 2011 to get anything to work.

    For some weird reason, I have to double click on just about anything to get it to work in Outlook 2011.  For example, if I click once on a folder it does not go to that folder until I click it again.  This is annoying in that there are a few things that respond to a single click, so as you are doulble-clicking around you hit one of the things that doesn't require a double-click and end up having to go back 5 steps to fix what you did.
    Anyone else see this?

    If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
    To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
    Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

  • Double-click on clips in Browser imports directly to Timeline not Viewer

    It's been awhile since I have posted any Mac issues, so here goes:
    I have a clip that I imported into Final Cut Express (FCE), which went OK. I then divided it up into subclips, and went to bed. Now that I have opened FCE again, my Viewer is gone (though the Viewer slug is there), and double-clicking on any of my subclips in the Browser takes my directly to a tab in the Timeline, instead of the Viewer.
    I have never seen this happen before, and I have played around with the settings, but could not find anything that will turn this maddening behavior off though I do get the feeling that this is nothing more that something being turned on (or off) that shouldn't be.
    That being said, if there's a way to reset FCE to its default settings, which I suspect would solve the problem, I would appreciate knowing it.
    If I wasn't clear before, I am trying to get back to the place were double-clicking on a subclip in the Browser takes me not to an individual tab in the Timeline, but a Viewer window. Then, if I want to move the clip to the Timeline, then I would do so, and have the clip in the Timeline show in my Browser window.
    All help is, of course, appreciated.

    I think I solved the problem (sort of). The clip I am using was imported from iMovie 09, after I changed it to a XML file. For some reason this type of file doesn't seem to act the same as a QuickTime file imported into Final Cut Express, which opens up a Viewer window automatically upon a double-click on the clip in the Browser.
    This doesn't quite make sense to me as to why a XML file would act in such a fashion, though I had no trouble opening a Viewer when I imported a QuickTime file into FCE.
    I will try opening up the file in iMovie 09 (which I cannot stand. If iMovie 06 had the functionality–converting to XML files–I would stick with that)
    The XML file seems to bypass the Viewer entirely, and open in the Browser and the TimeLine.
    Strange, though it does lead me to search under importing iMovie 09 XML files into Final Cut Express.
    Thanks for the assistance.

  • In events, only dark squares appear above the title of the event, what do I do to have the pictures appear without having to double click?

    I have transferred my pictures to the new mac pro iphoto application. All pictures are present but when I open Events, I get a dark suare box with the event title below. There is no picture in the box. No pictures show when I scroll across the box. If I click on the box, I get a yellowish line around it. Then I double click it and I get a grey page with squares outlined with a broken white line. I double click one of the new squares and a photo appears. I can advance to each of the photos in that event by clicking on an arrow that is located in the upper right  corner of the picture on the screen. I cannot get iPhoto to work as it should.
    When I click on Faces menu, the program shuts done completely.
    HELP PLEASE!

    Thank you.
    By doing a rebuild of the tumbnails everything came back to normal.

  • Often I can only right click or double click in after effects (usually while using Color Finesse)

    Hey, I can't seem to find anyone else that is having this issue.
    I use Dynamic linking from Premiere to color a project using Color Finesse in After Effects. Whats the timeline is dropped in, I'll drop in the color finesse effect, open up color finesse, color, and hit okay. When I come back to After Effects, it seems like every other time I do this sequence of events, I can't left click anymore. The only way to scrub through is to left click or double click on the player head. I can't click and drag effects (I just double click). I can't load presets or anything. I have to get back into color finesse and then it works normally again. But once I'm back out of color finesse and into after effects.... it's back. This is driving me insane, as it makes everything take twice as long. Also, I might add that this happens on MULTIPLE computers. So I do believe it's something that I'm doing wrong or something and not the computer. However, it could quite possibly be a setting with color finesse or something with color finesse, cause I'm really the only one on these computers that uses color finesse.
    Anyway, thanks for any help in advance.

  • How do you now, double click for a new tab? Used to be able to do this before that last update

    Prior to this update, you could double click next to a tab, to open a new one. This functions, seems not to work anymore.

    If you have "Tabs on top" and the tabs bar is at the top of the toolbar then there is no empty space to click on to open a new tab.

  • Flash objects appear as very small and disappear on click.

    Hello,
    Since a few months ago, I've been having a problem with Flash objects in Firefox. They seem to only take up about a quarter of the space they are supposed to. And then, if I click on them in any way, say to control the video, they instantly go black. The audio continues, and in the case of video it still responds to the keyboard shortcuts for Flash video (eg. Spacebar for play/pause). But the video is totally gone. And nothing short of a refresh gets it back to visible.
    I guess no BBCode, but here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/q10ENly.jpg
    The video and other flash things work perfectly in Safari. No problems there.
    I know there is a common problem with Flash video not working properly, and I tried the fixes described there. I didn't have Real Player installed, so I just uninstalled and re-installed Flash and get the same thing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated it.

    Try to "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player.

  • How do I double click in the playbook's browser?

    Hello World,
    I am trying to use a web page that requires me to double-click.  The PB browser zooms if I double-tap.  How do I send a double-click instead?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Maybe you can post a link to the page and tell us what you are trying to double click.
    A website that asks you to double click has obviously been written when most visitors had windows pc. It is asking you to execute or open something.  take care!
    Right click is tap and hold. A context menu will open and it will vary.
    Double click is as skidoo says,  or tap, wait, tap, or tap and hold then Open in new tab. It really depends on what the link is.
