Installed Internet Explorer 11 and now flashplayer wont work or be recognized by IE 11

Question

I
     I received a Microsoft update foir my pc with the new Internet Explorer 11 on the update. I downloaded it and installed it and now when I try  to annotate my financial charts on Stockcharts.com I cant, I get a message that this requires flashplayer and to download flashplayer.  Prior to installing IE 11 i had IE 10 and Windows 7 and had adobe flashplayer installed on my computor. I had no problems with  annotating financial charts on Stockcharts.com. Now whe I try to annotate a chart I get a message that this requires flashplayer and I should download flashplayer.
     I uninstalled flashplayer from my computor and downloaded the lastest version 11.9 etc and the problem persists.  cansto annotate any charts and get a message to dlownload flashplayer. I dont think IE 11 is recognizing flashplayer now.  I also have google chrome installed on my pc and with that I can annotate the stochcharts financial charts.
       I would appreciate some help in resolving this problem.
                                      Sincerely,

In IE 10 and IE 11 and perhaps even earlier, Microsoft installed ACTIVE X FILTERING in the browser. I believe that Active X filters out certain TYPES of content. The video clips offered by certain sites like ABC.com are blocked as potentially harmful. YouTube will work fine as will many other sites. When IE blocks their content, sites like ABC.com misinterpret the blockage as you not having Flash Player installed. ABC.com then notifies you that you must have Flash Player installed to play the video and offers you a way to install it. You can turn off ACTIVE X FILTERING on the tools menu of IE but that will make you vulnerable to the malicious content ACTIVE X FILTERING was designed to prevent. Fortunately there is another solution.
In the ADDRESS box in the top left corner of your browser ( where http://forums.adobe.com or the address of your current web site appears ) there is a clockwise circular arrow that will REFRESH your current web page. Immediately to the left of the REFRESH arrow is a small circle with a diagonal line thru it ( the universal symbol for negation as in the traffic sign for NO LEFT TURN ).  If you left click that small circle, a box will drop down. In the box will be a button that offers you the ability to TURN OFF ACTIVE X FILTERING. Click on the button and you will turn off the filtering for this one visit and on only this web site. Once you TURN OFF ACTIVE X FILTERING, the video content will play just fine.
