I need help with new flash player constantly crashing

Ever since updating the flash player it is constantly crashing. I have updated firefox also which constantly crashes. Firefox is pointing the finger at the flash player..... I need someone who will work with me step by step as i am not a computer tech. The two websites i visit that the flash player crashes on is www.myspace.com while playing mobsters and mafia wars, and www.smallworlds.com which is a 3d interactive " chat room ". I have tried removing the flash player and going with an older version, but it continues to kick me to the updated version...Please help!

Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. You have the SWFlash.ocx that is old. Right click on that one and Remove/Delete it.
Your SWF plug-in is correct as well as the remainder of your Flash files. The SWFlash.ocx that needs removed is conflicting.
The Windows Firewall should be used. Now I see that you have not updated to the Windows XP Service Pack 3, which is the latest. I would recommend that you do that. Many improvements and security issues are included in that. You can go to the Microsoft site for that.
After you do that, Microsoft has the Microsoft Security Essentials which is a free program and has the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware features. It does not include a Firewall nor are there any browser add ons that would conflict with your browser, other add ons or Flash Player.
I'm not sure of the system requirements for the MSE, but check. You may need the updated Service Pack first. Before you Install the MSE tho, make sure no other anti-virus is still Installed. The one you mentioned needs Uninstalled and you need to check if they have an Uninstaller and do that first.
Whether you do any of what I suggested or not, you need to Remove that SWFlash.ocx. I would reboot(restart) your computer afterwards.
P.S. Firefox has updated to 3.6.8 and you can do that anytime.
Thanks,
eidnolb

I need help with Adobe Flash Player, PLEASE!

I have been on multiple site trying to play games or watch videos (e.g. YouTube) and keep getting an error message saying I have to install Adobe Flash Player in order to play/view. I have done this multiple times and currently have Flash Player 11 ActiveX and Flash Player 11 Plugin. What more do I need to do because it still won't let me watch the video or play the games!
PLEASE HELP ME!
Additional info: I just wound up downloading Google Chrome (but don't like it) and don't have the same problem. So, it's only happening when I am trying to do all this on Internet Explorer 9.

Hi eg, If you have Windows 7 the new one, then you have IE8 since it comes with it. We are only working on this one computer, right?
First of all you must be the Administrator in order to Install Flash Player, are you? You need to use that account.
Download this Flash Player Uninstaller to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download this Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Close all browsers, you only want to be looking at your Desktop. Check your system tray(the area by the clock) and disable any applications like messenger, etc. You don't want any applications there that use Flash.
Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, restart your computer. Wait until it is completely restarted, then restart it again. When it is completely restarted, then Run the Installer. When that is finished, restart Once.
Then go to this site to test :http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Need help with Adobe Flash Player

Youtube and several other websites can still identify that my flash player is up to date. Although, many websites including CNN, Aplia, and Southparkstudios do not recognize my flash player. I tried trouble shooting, reseting my axtiveX filter, updating my computers graphic card, ad enabling my flash player. I am currently using a windows 8 computer, but my flahs player does not work in the metro IE, desktop IE, chrome, or firefox. I recently installed Norton Antivirus, and I question if there is any possibility that it could of corrupted my flash player...but troubleshootig with Norton Antivirus was not successful either. So, I guess my question is how do I get my Flash Player to work sufficiently to my needs? I would really appreciate some advice on how to get my flash player to work on all websites.
Thank you for your time
- Jim

Accrding to your post, you're dealing with three separate Flash Plugins.
1. ActiveX - for IE, (embedded by Microsoft - can't be updated or repaired from any file here - functions independently of the other two plugins)
2. Flash Player standard plugin - for Firefox (functions independently of the other two plugins)
3. "PepperFlash" - for Chrome (embedded in the browser by Google - like ActiveX, it can't be updated or repaired from any file here. Like The others, it functions independently of the other two)
Usually when something is causing the exact same problem with all three different plugins (two of which have been modified by second parties)... it's outside of the browsers.
First, I'd recommend creating a new (admin) account and try installing/running the Flash Player under that account. If it works, then it's an issue with your account. If not, it's either in the OS or another app, like your Norton.

                                                                                       imdb

                                                                                       ebaumsworld
                                  here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                       msn

                                here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

Need Help with a Flash Web Project

Hello, everyone. I am trying to use Flash to make a two-step
system. I want the flash document to, first, allow a person to
upload multiple image files and then, second, for the flash
document be able to create a slideshow with the uploaded images and
fade in and out from each image until the slideshow is over. I want
it to be where the flash document creates its own slideshow with
the images that are uploaded in the first step that I mentioned. I
want it to do it completely on its own so I need to know how to
give it the proper AI so that it can do this task.
So, are there any tips that anyone has on how to do this? Can
anyone tell me exactly how to do this? I really need help with this
for my new website project. Thanks in advance, everyone!

The problem with the text not appearing at all has to do with you setting the alpha of the movieclip to 0%. Not within the movieclip, but the movieclip itself. The same for the xray graphic, except you have that as a graphic symbol rather than a movieclip. To have that play while inhabiting one frame you'll need to change it to a movieclip symbol.
To get the text to play after the blinds (just a minor critique, I'd speed up the blinds), you will want to add some code in the frame where you added the stop in the blinds animation. You will also need to assign instance names for the text movieclips in the properties panel, as well as place a stop(); in their first frames (inside).
Let's say you name them upperText and lowerText. Then the code you'd add at the end of the blinds animation (in the stop frame) would be...
_parent.upperText.play();
_parent.lowerText.play();
The "_parent" portion of that is used to target the timeline that is containing the item making the command, basically meaning it's the guy inside the blinds telling the guy outside the blinds to do something.
You'll probably want to add stops to the ends of the text animations as well.
If you want to have the first text trigger the second text, then you'd take that second line above and place it in the last frame of the first text animation instead of the blinds animation.
Note, on occasion, undeterminably, that code above doesn't work for some odd reason... the animation plays to the next frame and stops... so if you run into that, just put a play(); in the second frame to help push it along.
PS GotoandPlay would actually be gotoAndPlay, and for the code above you could substitute play(); with gotoAndPlay(2);

Unable to do ANYTHING with new Flash Player Update

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get Flash Player 10.3 to work on my Windows 64-bit OS with the latest version of IE 9. It worked fine until the June 28th update and then nothing. I have been working on all the recommendations from the troubleshooting page of Adobe's support page, including making another User Account (which has it working perfectly, btw), but to no avail. When I try to go to the download page and hit the button, the screen goes to the page that shows the instructions for when the yellow box appears uptop...but then it does nothing. It doesn't download, it doesn't show the yellow box, nothing. Yesterday it was at least downloading the download manager, but now it won't even do that. I've tried the hardware acceleration changes, the security changes, disabling the anti-virus, everything they've recommended in troubleshooting. I've even tried installing a previous version (the one before June 28th) and it just tells me I need to update my Flash Player. I'm at a complete loss here. I even tried System Restore and it did nothing. Any ideas at all?
Oh, and when I go to check what version I have installed (the Control Panel/Uninstall page shows Flash Player as being installed due to the other account's installation), that page only shows a blank white box with a red circle and cross bar in it and no version number whatsoever.
I do have Google Chrome also installed on my system, if that might be a problem, but I've had both on my system for as long as I can remember Chrome being out and never had this problem, as I said before, before the latest update.

Hi, I just reviewed your info and you may want to see if this is a problem.
Then when you reply back, are you using Win7 or what OS? I know it's a 64bit.
To turn on ActiveX Filtering
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, point to Safety, and then click ActiveX Filtering.
To turn off ActiveX Filtering on a specific website
In Internet Explorer, click the Filter button in the Address bar, and then click Turn off ActiveX Filtering.
To turn off ActiveX Filtering on all websites
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, point to Safety, and then click ActiveX Filtering.

You want to turn the ActiveX Filtering OFF if it's on.

Need help w/adobe flash player, PLEASE

I need help!! I bought my daughter a V-Reader from V-Tech for Christmas and I am trying to get it set up. I have gone through all the steps of trying to upgrade the software. However, when I try to begin the process it is telling me I need to install Adobe Flashplayer. So I go to Adobe & download & install Adobe Flash player 11 ActiveX. However, when I go back to the set up portion of this V-Reader, it is still telling me I need to install Adobe Flash Player. I am so confused & don't know what to do. I am not very computer savy, so whatever help I can get needs to be pretty easy to understand & would be extremely appreciated. I have Windows Vista, I really don't know what else you need to know. Thanks for any & all help.....

Am I correct to assume that you connect that E-reader to your PC, and you need Flash Player on the PC?
Do you know if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit?
You mention ActiveX, so you must be using Internet Explorer. What version do you use, and is it the 32-bit edition or 64-bit edition (Help, About Internet Explorer should tell you that)?
On Internet Explorer 8 or 9, check Tools, Add-ons: do you see Shockwave Flash Object, and is it enabled?
On Internet Explorer 9, check Tools, ActiveX Filtering: is it enabled? (It must be disabled for Flash Player to function.)

Help with Adobe Flash Player 12 IE 8.1 64 Bit

I am having a problem with the Adobe Flash Player 12 for IE 8.1 64 bit. I have tried it with You Tube videos and still not working properly. Can anyone assist me?

Flash Player for IE on Windows 8 & 8.1 is mebedded by Microsoft.
You can't:
Download it
Update it
Upgrade it
Repair it
Uninstall it
from here.
It can ONLY be updated via Windows Update.
IE11 is another can of worms.
Microsoft intentionally screwed up the "user-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. Since the pages can't recognize the browser, they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Need help with new 8310

Just upgraded from earlier blackberry and have two problems I need help with!
First, in rearranging the icons my browser icon disappeared and I can't get it back even when I use the show all function. Any ideas?
Second, unlike my earlier blackberry, messages I sent from my office laptop are not appearing in my messages. What setting do I need to tweak? I like my blackberry to show all the messages sent from or received by the laptop.
Thanks.
Lauren

My BB setting was to not hide sent messages, but the problem I think has to do with the settings on syncing with my computer. Messages I send from the blackberry show up as sent - but I want the BB to match completely with the email on my computer - show every email received and every email sent. That was how the old BB was set up. Any ideas on what else to tweak either on the desktop or the BB? Thanks for your help.
