How do you view web content that requires a Flash plug in?
The iPad is my first Apple product. There seem to be restrictions that limit access to various of my favorite web sites. Work arounds or other options?

Wrong! There are plenty of "current Android" devices that cannot run Flash because they don't run and will never run Android 2.2 or above. Likewise there are plenty of "other devices" that can't run Flash too.
I'm not concerned about devices which don't run Flash. The point is that there is Flash content on the web, and there are mobile devices that support it. You may not care, but obviously judging by many posts, some people do.
And companies like RIM are making sure that their devices will continue to support it, I'm sure Android will be right there with them.
Although you are correct that Adobe said nothing about deprecating it on the desktop (quite the opposite in fact), if companies are investing in HTML5 sites for the growing number of mobile users, they're not going to bother creating a Flash version for desktop users, when those desktop users can view exactly the same HTML5 site. Why make two sites when one will work on everything.
Because HTML5 can not do everything Flash can, therefore there will still be content created in Flash. Like Games, and high end video sites. What is more likely to end is mobile website development, and instead the region will be dominated by apps, with desktop web browsing still offering the best experiences coupled with plugins like Flash.
Flash will never rule the desktop. Proprietary technologies are dying. Standards are becoming the norm. (BTW native applications for different OSs are not the same as proprietary technologies).
You say "never" yet right now as you say it, the desktop is ruled by Flash and other plugins, and has been since day 1 of it's creation. Flash is what created youtube, facebook games. Plugins created sites like netflix and games like runescape. How you can say never, while standing in it is insane.
Bottom line, the desktop is going to be even more media rich due to Flash 11 and stage3d and hardware acceleration. And yes, many mobile devices won't be able to run that content and will have to use apps, but for those that want them, the devices will exist and so will the content.
The iPhone has been out nearly 6 years now... never supported Flash, and yet here we are, people still flooding the forums daily asking for it. How many more years and devices will you go through before you're HTML web finally emerges? 6 more?

How do you watch movies online that require adobe flash?
I would like to know what application to use to watch movies online on Hulu or Xfinity. Both require flash but I read that Flash doesn't play well with Mac. Thanks!
If you had said what Mac you have and what version of OS X I could be more specific, so:
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
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,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 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/909/cpsid_90906.html
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.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work. -
How can I view a website that requires adobe flash player on my ipad
I wish to view a website but a message is displayed the adobe flash player is required but is not supported by my iPad. Any suggestions, I am new to iPad.
Adobe Flash is not available for mobile devices, and has never been available for iOS devices. Adobe ceased development of it a year ago and removed it from availability for Android devices in August.
So, in short, Flash is dead on mobile.
If the site you are trying to visit wants visitors from the ever increasing number of mobile devices, they may have a dedicated app available in the AppStore. Otherwise you'll have to view it on your computer.
There are a few alternative browsers that offer limited compatibility with some Flash-based sites, but whether they'll help in your case, I don't know. Look for Skyfire, Puffin, Photon etc. -

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store. -
EL - How do you call a method that requires a parameter
How do you call a method that requires a parameter
In scriplet code here is what I am trying to do
<%= car.getDefaultColor(car.getCarType()) %>
How do I do this in EL
Here is my guess (it generates the Exception described below)
${car.defaultColor(car.carType)}
Here is the Exception I am getting:
javax.servlet.ServletException: <h3>Validation error messages from tag library c</h3>tag = 'out' / attribute = 'value': An error occurred while parsing custom action attribute "value" with value "${car.defaultColor(car.carType)}": Encountered "(", expected one of ["}", ".", ">", "gt", "<", "lt", "==", "eq", "<=", "le", ">=", "ge", "!=", "ne", "[", "+", "-", "*", "/", "div", "%", "mod", "and", "&&", "or", "||"]
Any Ideas?
P.S. If it matters to you, I am using JSTL 1.0 and the code snippets above are actually within the value attribute of a <c:out value="" /> statement.How do you call a method that requires a parameter
In scriplet code here is what I am trying to do
<%= car.getDefaultColor(car.getCarType()) %>
How do I do this in ELYou don't. EL is very strict in method signatures. All get methods must be public Type getProperty(void); And all set methods must be public void setProperty(Type t);
So you will have to re-work your Bean so it does not need an argument to the get method (getDefaultColor()). Since you are calling another method out of car, you might re-write the getDefaultColor method as such:
public Object getDefaultColor() {
CarType ct = this.getCarType();
//then do other stuff
}If that isn't suitable, then provide a helper method that is used to set the current car type and then call the getDefaultColor:
private CarType curCarType;
public void setCurrentCarType(CarType ct) { curCarType = ct; }
public Object getDefaultColor() {
if (curCarType == null) throw new IllegalStateException("CarType must be set before getting color");
//normal work using curCarType
<c:set target="${car}" property="currentCarType" value="${car.carType}"/>
<c:out value="${car.defaultColor}"/>It is better to do as little of the data manipulation (setting up the car type) in the JSP as possible, so the first option is better than the second. Also better then the second would be to set the current car type in a servlet or data access object (or wherever) from which your retreive the car to begin with. Manipulatig it in the JSP itself should be your last resort (to keep as much business logic out of the JSP as possible).
Here is my guess (it generates the Exception
described below)
${car.defaultColor(car.carType)}
Here is the Exception I am getting:
javax.servlet.ServletException: <h3>Validation error

"==", "eq", "<=", "le", ">=", "ge", "!=", "ne", "[",
"+", "-", "*", "/", "div", "%", "mod", "and", "&&",
"or", "||"]

Flash Plug-In Warning
Explanation:
You do not have the Flash player installed on your browser.
How to Fix the Problem:
This game requires the Flash plug-in.
Download the latest Flash player now.
So I download latest still get error messageIt is best to go to the source, Adobe, to get their software and updates. Sometimes malware can infect sites with messages that appear legitimate, but will, instead, install malware/virus/trojan on your system. Read the following carefully to install and/or update Adobe Flash.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''''You do not have Adobe Flash (aka "Shockwave Flash" in Add-ons > Plugins) installed.'''''
#'''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.

Hello ThatcherWatts,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
You need to click the small arrow on the left hand side your iPod's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes as seen in this photo (in this case the name of the iPod is in fact iPod ). Doing so will open up a small menu underneath.

How can I download a book that requires adobe flash player
I bought this ipad to download textbook from pearsonsuccessnet.com, and after login in the page it requires to have adobe flash player, not supported by apple. What can I do?
Adobe has killed flash on mobile devices.
If it is a web site requiring flash, look at iswifter in the app store.
Otherwise, download on a computer and transfer the books over.
If it requires adobe's drm for the downloaded textbook -you will need something like blue fire reader. -
