How does Flash Player determine if TLS is available?

In ActionScript, there is a setting called "flash.system.Capabilities.hasTLS" that determines whether or not the Flash Player can make native SSL/TLS-based connections.  The definition of this property says " Specifies whether the system supports native SSL sockets through NetConnection (true) or does not (false)." 
How does Flash determine whether this property is true or false?  Is the value passed to the Flash player by the browser?  Does Flash figure it out from the environment?  If so, how?

  • How does Flash Player projector/standalone connect to the Internet

    I know that when a web service call is made from a flash player in the browser that the underlying browser is used to handle the traffic.  I also know that this isn't the case with flash projector because the security docs say that the projector files can't take advantage of SSL because they aren't run in the context of the browser.  So what mechanism does a standalone or projector application use to connect to the Internet?  I'm trying to analyze a possible application for someone from a security point of view, but I'm not sure what mechanism is in place.
    Thanks to anyone who knows or even knows of some decent references.  I can't find much on projectors....

    As far as I know, the standalone player does not connect to the Internet - it just plays local Flash content.
    Or can you actually give it an Internet (http) location to play?  (I do not currently have Projector installed, so I cannot try it.)

  • How does Flash Player differ on various browsers?

    Internet Explorer: Flash Player is installed as ActiveX® plug-in. Installing Flash Player in Internet Explorer doesn't install Flash Player on other browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Netscape.
    Mozilla Firefox / Opera / Netscape: Flash Player is installed as a plug-in. Installing Flash Player in any of these browsers automatically installs Flash Player in other browsers too. For example, if you install Flash Player in Mozilla Firefox, Flash Player gets automatically installed in Netscape if Netscape is present in your machine.
    For installing Flash Player in a browser, using the browser, go to Adobe site. Download Flash Player and double-click the downloaded file to install Flash Player.
    Google Chrome: Flash Player is integrated with Google Chrome. You don't need to install it separately.

    Have you installed Flash from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_versions the latest version of Flash for your phone is "Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.63)".

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

    Does flash player work on Kindle fire HD?

    Hi aaliyah.thurkettle1,
    The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player.  Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:
    Flash Player Certified Devices
    That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using Dolphin, a third party browser.

  • How does the JRE determine java.home?

    I recently upgraded from jre 1.4.1 to 1.4.2.
    I'm having problems with applets, and I've traced the problem to the fact that java.home still points to the old JRE directory. Here is a line from the system properties dump in the java console:
    java.home = C:\PROGRA~1\Java\J2RE14~1.2_0
    That directory doesn't exist anymore. The directory that contains the jre is now c:\program files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01.
    I properly uninstalled 1.4.1, and I've tried uninstalling everything java related, manually deleting everything I can find (files, folders, registry settings) related to java or sun, and reinstalling, and this problem is still there.
    I've also tried setting the property in the JAVA_HOME environment variable as well as setting it as a runtime option in the java control panel ( -Djava.home=. . .). No dice.
    How does the JRE determine java.home? Is there a way to manually set the path?

    Check regedit with the oldvalueThanks -- I tried that. The old value is not in the registry, and all of the registry settings for java.home point to the correct directory. The java.home value that ends up inside the plugin must be determined some other way (at least in 1.4.2).
    If anyone out there knows where it comes from, please let me know!
    Thanks.

  • Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have?

    Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have? The result is always an error message telling me that the version is already running. (Desktop Computer; Windows Vista OS; Firefox; Adobe Flash Version 11.8.800.94)

    I don't know; can you post a screenshot of such a notification?
    Did you update both ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and plugin (for Firefox)?

    Will alienate? They've already alienated users a long time
    ago. That isn't the point, though, because it doesn't matter if
    users are alienated, it only matters if the users need flash.
    The only thing that could make flash player better is open
    source. I don't see why they don't do it. They make money on the
    authoring tool, not the player. All of my Linux machines are ppc
    and x86_64, no flash there. I also don't have flash on my PDA, a
    Palm T|X. If the player was open sourced, people would stop
    complaining about how much flash sucks -- because, right now, there
    are very serious, legitimate, complaints against it.
    Anyway, for now I'm hoping that SVG matures quickly.
    Although, I"m sure that once Adobe sees that train coming, they
    will extend Flash (dev.) to export SVG movies containing embedded
    binary data that can only play with their binary plugin.

  • Does Flash player render font-types differently depending on platform?

    We published a captivate course that uses all sans serif fonts. The fonts appear as expected when tested in Firefox and Safari on OS X 10.8.5. However, when tested in IE8 on Windows 7 one of the text captions appears as a serif font. Does Flash player render font-types differently depending on platform?

    Hi,
    I did as you suggested. The repost is in the "PDF language" forum, and we have an indication that the pdf file might be ambiguous as to the choice of a transparency blending space:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/714292
    However, in the meantime, I noticed that this issue is not (or hardly) noticeable if the file is opened as the first file in the session. However, as soon as one file (the same or another one) has been opened (and possibly closed - does not matter as long as the Reader stays open) and the file in question is loaded by any means (drag&drop, File-Open, Explorer double-click), it becomes really ugly. I guess this is why many people in the discussion boards have a hard time reproducing this issue, leading to the assumption that it is very system specific. I assume it is quite general.
    In any case, if a file looks differently depending on whether another file has been open before, this is DEFINITELY a thing to look into for the Reader guys, wouldn't you say?
    Best regards,
    bersbers

  • Does Flash Player protected mode / disabling it have any effect on XP?

    Does Flash Player protected mode / disabling it have any effect on XP / Firefox?

    Been experiencing severe slowness and lock-ups with Firefox of late (since 27.0 / 28.0),  which ends with a sudden drop in memory usage and me having to  repeatedly shut it down through Task Manager. I have created a new profile and disabled hardware acceleration. I have tried disabling all  plug-ins and extensions, yet I noticed that at times (not always) plug-in container was still an active process, which I don't understand. Why would it be active when there are no enabled plug-ins? I also noticed that when plug-in container is not active (showing under Processes in Task Manager) I do not have this problem and Firefox runs normally?
    I have run MalwareBytes, TDSSKiller, Hitman Pro and McAfee Stinger - no threats found.

  • Does Flash player have to restart my computer after downloading and installing

    HI I was wondering if someone could please answer a question for me.  The last flash player I installed on my Windows Vista computer I was given several options in whether I wanted to Automatically install Flash player on my computer so I cidked the recommened option to automatically install Flash player on my computer.  What I would like to now is this after flash player has downloaded and installed  on my computer does flash player does it have to restart my computer before flash player will be fully installed on my computer and before flash player will work on my computer.
    Thanks for your time
    Any advice is welcome
    ps: I hope I did not have any spelling mistakes sorry if I had any.
    some imfo that might be helpful:
    Windows Vista desktop computer.

    No, the silent background update does not need a restart to complete the installation.
    However, it may need to wait until the browser is restarted in order to delete old files.  Nothing to worry about.

    I posted this question on the 25th, and have yet to receive an answer. Because of this crashing problem, I can't do anything on my computer outside of play solitaire, and hang around Adobe communities looking for an answer. I've found several questions like mine (Mac, firefox, flash player constantly crashing) that have no answers either, and I'm getting upset. I've been floating around Mozilla and Apple's help sections, and there's no answer there either. How do I get an answer? Or is there just no fix for this issue and Flash player doesn't work on mac anymore? Is there another program that I can use in place of Flash player? I would very much like an answer, response, or anything cause I stuck here till then. Thank you for you time.
    Here's more crash reports:

    What can I do if Flash Player is not working at all?
    MacBook Pro 10.6.8
    Firefox 36.0 no plugins
    Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.305
    Hello,
    Since   last week, Adobe Flash Player has not worked on my computer at all. I   can't watch any videos, and any webpage using Flash for the ads  crashes.  I tried using Adblock initially thinking that the ads were the  problem  because they have frozen my computer in the past. This did  nothing, so I  went through the trouble shooting guide for Flash on  Mozilla's website.  I removed all plugins, disabled hardware  acceleration, and even  uninstalled Firefox and Flash player then  reinstalled them again. It  still keeps crashing, and I don't know what  to do anymore.   Is there anything that can be done? Thank you for your  time.

    Hi Chelsea,
    The USER forums are a forum for users, while Adobe staff does participate it is not our primary responsibility to participate and we post in-between our regular work.  Since these are primarily user forums a time-frame for responding is not guaranteed, especially if another user is not familiar with the issue and can't be of assistance.
    Please file a bug at https://bugbase.adobe.com/ and include as much information as possible, including attaching the entire contents of the crash log file.  Please post the bug number here and I'll triage the bug to get it to the right folks for investigation.

  • Why does Flash Player prompt me to install an incompatible version on Mac?

    Users of OS X 10.5 and 10.4 have noticed that with the release of Flash Player 11, the auto update mechanism will prompt them that an update is available.  While this is typically normal behavior when an update occurs, in this case Flash Player 11 does not support 10.4 and 10.5.   So, why is the updater telling them to update?
    Unfortunately, our current auto update mechanism isn't able to determine if a new update is compatible with the current OS version.  We are aware that this isn't optimal, but we did add in logic to help minimize the noise.  Here's what will happen.
    A user of an unsupported OS will get a notification that a new update is available
    They'll download the update and attempt to install
    The installer will notice that the OS is not supported and will:
    Alert the user with an error telling them that the OS is unsupported
    Set a flag telling the update mechanism to stop checking for future updates
    So while you'll get one update notification, once the installer tells the auto update mechanism to stop you shouldn't see any more.

    Can you post a screenshot of such an update notice?

    Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin?  If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers).  Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
