How do I update Shockwave Flash 10.3r183

Frequently when I check my plugins, Shockwave Flash needs updated. When I try to download it, nothing happens. I need to update Shockwave Flash 10.3r183.

IIRC at one point I had a temperamental plugin that dealt with Adobe updates. I know on some occasions I have resorted to searching the Adobe site for alternative download links, but I only currently have the following one bookmarked http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe and I have not used it recently, but it still appears likely to work.
It may be worth checking your security software incase that is blocking updates or downloads from certain sites.

How can I download Shockwave flash for my IMAC?

How can I download Shockwave Flash to my IMAC?

Looking at Adobe's site there is version 10.3 for Intel Macs running OSX 10.4 or 10.5. There is version 11 for Macs running OSX 10.6 or newer. Most web sites don't really need the newest FlashPlayer, but if you are trying to view one that really does intensive video then maybe it does require Flash 11. You aren't very specific as to which exact error message you are seeing.
If a site does require FlashPlayer 11 then you will have to upgrade your operating system.

Can't update Shockwave Flash plugin

I'm only updating Shockwave Flash because the plugin page says to do it; otherwise I have no problems. The sequence of updating problems I am having is different from that described by others:
1) Checked for plugin updates: Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102 was highlighted as "Vulnerable" with red UPDATE NOW.
2) Clicked on Update Now and was prompted to download Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.62 (not Shockwave Flash); Ran downloaded .exe file to install; Closed Firefox during install as requested and installation completed.
3) Opened Firefox; Checked plugins and now saw notice that Flash Player version was out-of-date and disabled.
4) As test, played a youtube video; Clicked on prompt at top of screen for "missing plugin"; Update self-executed, requested closing Firefox, and completed installation.
4) Opened Firefox; Checked plugins and once again saw that Shockwave Flash needed UPDATE NOW (as described in #1 above). Adobe Flash Player is not listed anywhere in the plugin list.
So now I'm back to where I was before, wondering if I really am vulnerable due to this version of Shockwave Flash.

Note: Adobe Flashplayer (aka Flash) shows in Add-ons > Plugins as "Shockwave Flash (version)", a bit of confusion caused by Adobe.
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 have the Plugin version for Firefox installed, but the last two digits do not show. ''''' In Add-ons > Plugins you should see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". You can test and see the full version at Step 4, below.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#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/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.
NOTE: Some users of 64-bit systems have found it necessary to download, Save and install (''with Firefox closed'') the 32-bit '''''Plugin''''' for Firefox manually from the following (''4th link labeled "32 bit Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)"''):
*http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_Install_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
*or you can click here for a direct link --> http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe

Firefox requesting I update shockwave flash, but no shockwave flash available for Windows 2000, so how can I?

... along with other plugins, as a precursor to installing Firefox 4. Daren't install Firefox 4 in case it's incompatible with my operating system, existing Flash, and other compatible plugins.

I can confirm the current version of Flash 10.2.153.1 runs flawlessly under Windows 2000.
It's not really called "Shockwave Flash" anymore--that's from the days of when Adobe was known as Macromedia--, it's just known as Adobe Flash.
The most obvious site that requires Flash is YouTube.
You need to download the current "Non-IE" version. You can download it from FileHippo, which is an online archive of software.
Click the link in the upper right side of the page that says "Download Latest Version".
Then run it, install it, and restart Firefox.

In PowerPoint I Have Shockwave ActiveX Control - How do I Get Shockwave Flash Object?

I'm running the latest versions of Windows 7 and PowerPoint via Parallels on my Mac. I want to insert a Flash movie into a PowerPoint slide. The instructions I've found tell me to look in Developer section->More Controls, find Shockwave Flash Object, use it to insert a Flash Object, and then to edit the Movie property of that object. But, I do not see Shockwave Flash Object. Instead I see Shockwave ActiveX Control. The properties of Shockwave ActiveX Control do not include a Movie property.
I have gone to "http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/" and clicked the option to install the Shockwave Player, but the site says the Shockwave Player is already installed.
How can I get the Shockwave Flash Object for PowerPoint into my installation?
Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

Hi Vik.. I don't use Powerpoint but I do know about Shockwave Flash Object. It is in the manage add ons and installs when Flash Player is installed. It is an ActiveX Control and if you have the latest FP installed, Flash10d.ocx should be listed on the same line. It may or may not list the version #, which would be 10.0.42.34. It must be enabled.
Beyond that info I could give you a link to a thread that involved powerpoint 2003 and 2007 if you think that would be of
any help to you.
Just post back.
Thanks

How do I update the Flash Pro

Creative Cloud alerted me that there was an update for Flash Pro, but it has failed repeatedly. I get a message that the update failed and asks me to try again, but it keeps failing. How do I fix this problem?

Ywx012 do you receive any specific error messages? I would also recommend reviewing Error U44M1P7 | Updates - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1p7-installing-updates-ccm.html.

How can I stop Shockwave Flash from crashing?

For the last few days I have been experiencing a problem viewing videos on web pages. The error message "The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash" appears across the top of the page and all the videos are black with a white logo in the middle. This is an intermittent problem throughout the day - so sometimes I can watch a video and other times not. Needless to say this is very frustrating.
I have the latest XP version and also the latest version of Google Chrome. Today I unistalled all Adobe programs (problem still continued) and then reinstalled them - so they are all the latest versions.
I have browsed through all the help pages and tried some of the suggestions - but the problem still persists.
To be honest, I had never even heard of ShockWave Flash until Friday last week when this first started happening!!
Does anyone have an answer for me..... please?

Hello all,
I understand the frustration and we hear you loud and clear. We are actively working on this problem with Google and hope to have this resolved soon. For those that are crashing, could you navigate to the following, windows only, page in Chrome: about:conflicts
Once there, look to see if you have an software entry with the name "Rooks/Dolomite" If so, you might require an update to Trusteer's Rapport. Here's more info from Trusteer:
Dear Rapport users,
Thank you all for your feedback about our Beta version, regarding the Google Chrome Plug-in crashes.
It indeed seems we have successfully fixed the issue and so we have now finished uploading a stable version of the software that contains the fix you have been using.
This version is now available for download in the following link:
http://download.trusteer.com/Gcur4Wtnu/RapportSetup.exe
You do not need to uninstall the current version, you can simply install this version over the existing one.
Please make sure to restart your computer after the installation process is completed.
Sincerely,
Nitsan Bleiberg
Head of Technical Support
Trusteer
Additional details can be found on the following Google Chrome thread (see page 10): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=0d782f19a7a1a9ec&hl=en
Another thing to note, after reading through that thread it appears that the latest Chrome beta might also be helping some users out. It's something to consider trying to if you're finding Chrome release is to unstable to use properly.
Thanks,
Chris

I am trying to update Shockwave Flash from 15.0.0.223 to 15.0.0239 but cannot but cannot get the right link to start the process.

I did get one connection to Save but that apparently did not work. The last time time I had to upgrade Shockwave Flash I had to go to Dell Support and they had trouble too.
Firefox is said to have 16.0.0.235.
Is there another link to use to upgrade Shockwave Flash?
I had Windows 7

hello, adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection. https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/blocked/p798
please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).

How to put a Shockwave/Flash movie on to an IMAX screen?

Is it possible to project an animated shockwave movie or Flash movie directly on to an IMAX screen if it were designed to IMAX screen specs without going through Adobe After Effects to render out a Quicktime movie?
Also why would you need to go through After Effects if it is neccessary to do this?
Thank you.

1) You would have to find a film converter to know for sure. But, I imagine they will be looking for an MOV, AVI, or, probably more ideally an MPEG
2) I imagine there is, but it is likely a very expensive projector. IMAX Digital uses the DCI format, and two projectors for projecting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Cinema_Initiatives
3) You will likely not be able to create a 75-minute long SWF movie. It will have to be broken down into separate animations, and then converted over to a video format and merged.
4) Though I have never seen a hard specification for it, there does seem to be a limit, and it varies depending on the version of Flash you are using. In CS3 I have started having problems once I got to around 11000 frames (or a little less than 10 minutes at 12fps). You will want to be creating your animation at 24, or maybe 48 FPS (both are IMAX specs), which will severely limit the length of time you can animate in a single file.
It does seem like the file length grows exponentially between versions, so CS4 should be able to handle a significantly longer file than CS3 did. The only way to know for sure is to create-create-create, and save multiple versions of all files, save frequently, and go until Flash gives you problems. I fear this will change depending on the specs of your computer, the version of Flash, and the complexity of the animation.

How do I stop Shockwave Flash from crashing/being unresponsive in chrome 15?

Everything is up to date. And I can replicate the problem 100% of the time by going to a video on youtube or anywhere else that uses flash. Its hard to get around the internet when lots of pages use flash...and then flash crashes -_- I am using windows 7 on a HP computer. Please pleasepleaseplease help!! Thanks ^_^

Jim-NC,
"My computer locks-up" means OS freeze? Or it's about browser behavior like locks-up with swf access? If it's OS level freeze, more chance is on graphic driver compatibility. If it's browser case, it might be (low level) audio driver hang. In either case checking HW driver version is good idea because OEM doesn't necessary bundle latest driver while peripheral manufacture provide bug fix in their latest driver version.
thanks,
Hitomi

Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 wont upgrade on new Mac running OSX 10.7.4

No I meant that I will try to get the developers to fix the plugin check website so that it knows what the latest version of Flash is for Mac users.
