Is there support coming for websites using Flash?

Is there support coming for IPAD2 owners to use websites which require Flash? It appears to be growing into somewhat of an industry standard.

You guys are so angry that you can't get Flash support, and so desperate for it to go away so you're no longer missing out on great content that you miss-read, and miss-inform everyone every chance you get.
News Flash -
Convincing Apple product owners that Flash's days are numbered doesn't make it true, nor does posting pre-written anti-flash posts into every flash thread.
Facts are -
Adobe has released the Flash Player API to Mobile device manufacturers. Because it was to big a taqsk for Adobe to continue to release new versions for every hardware configuration. Adobe is leaving that task now up to the manufacturers of the deviecs.
RIM, and Qualcomm have both agreed to continue porting the Flash player to future devices. No other manufacturers have come out as to which side of the fence they are on yet, mainly because Adobe has agreed to support Android 4.0, which will keep mobile flash alive and under Adobe control for at least 1 more year.
After Android 4.0, sometimes in late 2013 we will find out what manufacturers will continue to include flash in their arsenal.
Adobe brought the mobile flash player to version 11, so that it supports stagevideo and stage3d plus hardware acceleration. Adobe feels there is no need to develop the mobile player any further outside of bug fixes and security updates.
Developing the mobile version past version 11 does not make sense to adobe. However, Flash player 11 supports all previous flash content, as well as new things being created like stage3d and stagevideo.
It makes perfect sense to leave it ot the manufacturers of the devices to port the flash player over, and again, we already have two mobile companies agreeing to do just that.
You guys ahve been saying flash is dead and un-needed since 2010 when Steve Jobs wrote his open letter. Many of you are now on your 2nd ipad, about to be the 3rd.
I predict that if fash ever does actually die completely, it will be sometimes around the ipad version 30 release, the year 2035.
Good luck though on your war... hope it doesn't turn out like Apple's hd-dvd did.

  • Konqueror browser for Linux has an useful CPU limitation feature for websites using Flash content. Can you add such a feature in Firefox?

    I have recently found that Konqueror browser for Linux can help user to limit cpu usage while visiting a website using flash technology by changing settings in the Flash section and adjusting the slider from VERY HIGH settings to HIGH and MEDIUM and so on. It actually works, and it does not have a direct impact on the general performance for flash player but it may generate some conflicts if other extensions such as add-blocker or click-to-flash are enabled also.
    Maybe you can add a similar setting in Firefox in the browser option section or just as an useful addon or extension.

    Sorry for being late with my reply. I've just tested that addon that you mentioned in your post ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../system-monitor/ ) , it looks like a system monitor and nothing more than that.
    As for the memory tip ( about:memory ) I agree that it can be extremely useful for users that have less than 1 gb memory installed on their system. I know very little about computers but I can tell your tip for optimizing memory usage in firefox has merits.
    Me, I have another problem with cpu overload in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and most of the browsers with flash support enabled. Each and every time time I visit a page that features all sort of adds and gadgets based on flash technology, and each time I try to watch a video online my cpu goes all the way up to 100% and stays there until i finally decide to close the browser.
    I am running winxp and also linux on a Dell Optiplex GX260 machine with 2000 MHz cpu, 1024 Mib ram and 128 Mib video card, it is not the best computer in the world but still 2000 MHz should be enough for a limited and uneventful web experience.
    It is not as much an issue with the web browser, any browser, the whole problem is caused by funny people claiming to be deeply involved with web development, and promoting flash technology for ages instead of choosing other alternatives, more user friendly. All I am saying is that flash ruined the entire web experience making people to believe that they actually need dual-core cpu and coreduo and deepfreeze cpu and so on which is only partially true.
    I always get better results for cpu usage when watching online videos that use media player as default player and not flash player, and my cpu stays below 70% usage which is not much but still it is not 100% usage.
    Konqueror offered me a nice surprise, and I was able to limit cpu usage once I moved that slider from Very High setttings for flash player to Medium settings. I got something between 80-90% cpu usage as a result, and I was very pleased to finally see a working solution to my problem at least for linux if not for windows.
    The only other browser that I can use for windows only, which handles both flash player and cpu usage well is Kmeleon browser which is a long forgotten project but does offer nice features once you find some plugins that it needs to make it come to life again.

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

  • How to create a multiplayer game for steam using flash/flex?

    Hi guys,
    We've got a multiplayer game ready to go. Currently it is not multiplayer, but we'd like to get it to a stage where it can be played over the steam network by users of steam and owners of steam games.
    We'd like to if anyone could briefly give us a breakdown of how to get out game up on steam and available for multiplayer?
    Does steam host servers, and can we utilise a steam server to transfer data between players or would we have to run our own server?
    Currently were using flash builder to publish via adobe air to a windows desktop exe. Can anyone briefly explain how - once a player has downloaded the game from steam we can connect two players? Does anyone know how to use actionscript 3 to access steam network?
    Anyone have any experience developing multiplayer turn based game for steam using flash /actionscript 3 /adobe air?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    i

    You would want to use the SteamWorks API, which is available from Steam as a C++ library, but there is most likely an Adobe Native Extension (ANE) that would allow you to use the library in AS3.
    I've never used SteamWorks but it seems to support peer-2-peer matchmaking (in other words, you wouldn't even need your own server, I think.)

  • Spell check for kids using flash

    I am creating a spell check for kids using flash.
    The flash starts with a silhouettes of a word say B A N A N A and below it shows a jumbled up letters. The kids drags and drops each letter on top of the dark silhouettes. If it matches scores points.
    Any help in creating AS3 script will be apreciated. I did create one using mc and target mc and works fine when the mc is draged on to target mc. Only problem arises when there are duplicate letters.
    Thanks in advance

    What I described will work as you describe wanting.  If every A movieclip has a property (name this property anything you want, like "myLetterValue")  with a value of "A" and every A-target movieclip also has a property with a value of "A", then you can use those properties to determine when any object with an "A" is planted on any target with an "A"
    So when you drop a letter on a target you compare the property of each to see if they are equal...  if(targetMC.myLetterValue == letterMC.myLetterValue){  // correct match  }

  • Is there a workaround for websites that use "frames" when Safari does not support?

    Is there a workaround for a website that requires "frames" when Safari (5.0.6) does not support it?

    Has anyone found a work-around for this that works?
    No. Any attempt to use an unsupported network device with Time Machine will probably result in data loss, even if it seems to be working at first. If you take data protection seriously, you won't try.
    Is it possible to get Time Machine to use SMB to make the backups?
    No.

  • 3D content for iOS using Flash Builder? Possible?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use Papervision or Away 3D using Flash Builder 4.6 and compile this succesfully for iOS?
    I have previously had lots of fun with Papervision and I am just wondering if it is possible to create 3D interface content for iOS and/or Android?
    HR

    I think Away3D (and possibly PaperVision) uses Pixel Bender shaders. They don't work on mobile devices, AFAIK. But Stage3D is supposedly coming to AIR mobile soon. That should blow the socks of any software rendering. I think Away3D will be supporting it.

  • Compression tecniques for website use urgently needed

    Hi there
    I am creating short movies (about 2-5 mins) in Imovie HD and i want them to be downloadable from my website as a file (not streamed etc). I want the picture quality to be very good but the sound can be mono as its not as important. I need to keep file sizes to about 20mb or less. I am told that 320 x 240 is the size to go for websites - is that true?
    My problem is that both PC and Mac users will be wanting to download the movies so compatability is very important. What file type should i go for (mpg, mov, avi, wmv) and what compression should i choose for the best cross platform compatability?
    If anyone can help, i would be so grateful. If anyone has any good settings that they have tried and tested - that would be fantastic.
    Many, many thanks
    Daniel

    I would create .mov ..that's to say QuickTime.. files: every Mac user has QuickTime on their machine, and Windows users often already have it, or can be guided to simply download it.
    I've tried an assortment of compression codecs, and have found that a 'hardwired' codec-in-a-chip, rather than using software to compress, gives the fastest and sharpest results. So I run my mini-movies through an Archos recorder/player (..predecessor of the video iPod..) which encodes all incoming video in DivX format.
    This plays great in QuickTime, except for the sound, which is - by default - hidden. So I run the resultant small video file through a little free program called 'DivX Validator', which resets the sound to the proper QuickTime format.
    I then post that 'validated' compressed file on the web (..on my Homepage..) and it's playable by all versions of QuickTime, both old and new. [NOTE that only the latest QuickTime 7 seems to be able to play back videos encoded through the recent QT 7 H.264 hi-quality codec ..but DivX looks just as good, and can be played in any QT versions.]
    Here's what a DivX-encoded movie looks like.. [This is a still slideshow burned to a DVD ..when it starts.. not moving video, and DivX really does justice to the hi-quality stills. And as DivX produced a small file size, it can be downloaded quickly!]
    Other people will probably have other recommendations..

  • Good information for anyone using Flash Catalyst CS5 !!!

    I am using FC_CS5 and I am a huge fan and can not wait for the next version to come out. I have already maxed out the potential of this program and I have noticed many other people having the same problem that I had when it comes to not being able to create any more than 20 different states or 20 different pages.
    The way around this is simply to design your project within AI CS5, Fireworks CS5, Photoshop CS5. I started my project out in Illustrator CS5 simply because Flash catalyst will recognize your layers and your individual artboards and will lay them out for you in your Catalyst project. This is the great part!!!
    You can't  create new or duplicate anything over 20 states from within Catalyst but you can create a large amount of artboards or in catalyst terms, "states", thus allowing you to get by the restriction within catalyst.
    My project has about 45 different artboards. I created a few extra artboards incase the client wanted to add some stuff later on. I create a catalyst project from my AI project and now I have 45 different states.
    I hope this will help anyone who is using Flash Catalyst and I can't wait for the adobe crew to fix this issue allow for more than 20 states in the future and I better not find out that the adobe crew stops the "work around" I described above!

    OH man it's precious.
    Do you have any insight into my imported swf problem?
    I have just now updated dw and fc and redone the process (heard imported swfs was easier on the beta version) don't know why I can't manage my assets, or what I did wrong in one instance, but correctly in the other.  (see the animation on the LW corner).
    The help files really need to be developed in this area, I guess..
    two versions, testing server correct: www.cachetrade.com
    Not running swf (with rollover of the yogi on the left): www.desertypalmyoga.com
    Is this a hijack or a top-post?
    I really just want to understand the issues so I can plan workflow: really quite powerful, that's why this first design in most b+w (though curious how the color overlays and modes will work... )
    THANKS!

  • How do I create accessible Mobile APP for IPAD using flash Builder 4.7?

  • Keep active a secure website using Flash.

    I am developing Flash training programs for my company. The
    programs are called from the companies secure website. While the
    Flash training programs are running in their own window, the secure
    website in the background closes down due to lack of activity. When
    I change menus in Flash you have to relogin to the companies site.
    My question:
    Can I, in Flash, simulate a mouse click to the hosting
    webpage in order to keep it active? Or is there another way? Just
    calling another program from the same directory does not reset the
    websites internal timer.
    Thanks,

    Thanks all for your interest,
    We are constrained by the fact that the IT folks won't,
    don't, or can't help. Our current training program calls swf files
    and even .exe files. This does not reset the timer. I have tried
    using a JavaScript to open a new window containing a sef or ,exe
    file with almost no content. Not quiet sure how to proceed.
    How could I easily set it up so that Flash only updated the
    timeout based on the presence of user activity in the Flash file
    itself?

  • Problem publishing Air for iOS using Flash

    Hey there, I am having a little issue. I am getting a error that reads "The digital certificate is invalid. Counld not retreive certificate chain from keystore usesage"
    I think the issue may be that I am trying to develop my app on my PC and publish is and then put the app on my Mac. My assumption is that my iOS developer ID and iPad are registered with my Mac but my CS5 software is on my PC so I have been trying to publish the app on from the PC and then port it to my Mac and get it on the iPad through iTunes. So I wonder if I need to be publishing the app on the Mac where the device and iTunes are. I have the certificate transferred to the PC and use it for my app publish but I get that error on publish.
    Any insight is appreciated a lot. Thanks very very much in advance...

    I tried overlaying the latest AIR as sinious suggested, but that only changed my error message by adding the line about ADT as in the original post.
    I was finally able to get the app to compile by calling adt from the command line.  Here is an example .bat file that worked for me:
    @echo=off
    @set java_cmd="C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
    @set java_param=-Xmx128m -jar
    @set adt_cmd="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\AIR2.6\lib\adt.jar"
    @set target=ipa-test
    @set cert=iOS_dev.p12
    @set cert_pass=password
    @set provisioning=my_iOS_device.mobileprovision
    @set build_file=helloworld.ipa

  • Mozilla Thunderbird Support coming for iTunes?

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anyone new a way to sync my adderess book and calender from mozilla thunderbird, or if iTunes would support thunderbird anytime soon. I have 7.6, and it will only let me sync with microsoft outlook.

    Is there a process to update my iTunes. I've used this gear driver and it's worked GREAT for a long time, but when and if I ever update my iTunes it breaks this and I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling gear, reverting back to the same version of iTunes and completely reinstalling both but nothing seems to work. Is there a good process to revert back and reinstall iTunes and the gear driver?

  • Fennec installs on Kindle HD, but when selected, opens and 3-5 seconds later drops out. Is there support coming?

    Gets installed-as shown; gets icon-as shown; opens fine from icon--crashes back to icon after 3-5 seconds of display of homepage.
    fennec-15.0 being used.
    Are there other parameters I need to manipulate to get this to work? Have tried automatic and mobile setting for firefox--same results.

    Did something a little different and it worked. fennec 10.0 works without fail on kindle fire. I guess know that a level of support is established as a baseline, we should be able to walk it up from here. This is a Kindle Fire right out of the box. Two previous fennec 15.0 installs went fine, however fennec crashed after 3-5 seconds. I googled a couple more things and found where someone had gone to ftp site and pulled down 10.0. Definitely works. Clean install...open right up and has yet to crash. Have already browsed around a couple site and still going strong.

  • Is there support yet for PC high DPI displays?  I see there is support for Apple....

    Have been a user of Photoshop Elements for many years.  Presently have version 12, which is unusable on my Dell XPS 15" with 4K Ultra HD display.  I found a statement somewhere on Adobe's site that there is support for HiDPI displays from Apple, but no mention of Windows machines.  Scaling, changing resolution, etc. doesn't help - the icons are tiny and can't be seen by my eyes without squinting or a magnifying glass.  I don't want to switch programs but will if support isn't there for displays like mine that are more common every day.....

    Yes, in PSE 13 but definitely do the trial first to see if it works well for your display.
