Java or Macromedia flash availability?

Is there any way to view websites that use macromedia flash or adobe flash and so on? I cannot view a lot of sites, they come up with errors.

Any site that will only work with flash or Java is a badly designed site. However, there are a lot of badly designed sites.
The issue with flash is that Steve Jobs has said that the full version is bloatware that is inappropriate for a handheld device, and the scaled back version for phones is too basic to be useful. As Flash is a closed product only Adobe can write the plugin. The Wall Street Journal has also reported that there is a minor feud going on between Adobe and Apple over other issues. So it might be a while before we get Flash.
As to Java, this is currently up in the air. After the SDK was announced Sun said they would write a Java JVM (runtime) for the iPhone, but then Apple said they didn't want Java on the phone.

Macromedia Flash won't work

Hello, Folks, I am having problems with any webpage that uses
"flash" animation. (Please be kind- I know mechanics and hands-on
things, but have a hard time with computers!) I have read some of
the threads here that deal with a similar topic, but don't
understand a lot of what I read. You guys are WAY above my head.
I am running Windows XP and IE 6. I recently ran the
Microsoft Windows updates (on April 02, I think, so I don't know if
it included the troublesome Active-X change or not). Now it seems
that some of the video/ picture features just aren't working right.
If I hold the cursor arrow over the place where the animation
should be, I get a message that says "click to activate or use this
control", but clicking does nothing. Right-clicking, then selecting
"settings" brings up a control panel for Macromedia Flash Player 8.
I selected "Allow" and "remember", but no change. I tried updating
the Macromedia, but it didn't help; completely wiping out the
program and reinstalling, as suggested by Macromedia, didn't work
either.
I have turned off pop-up blockers, emptied temporary and
cookie files, etc. to no avail. The animated pages WORK when logged
in under my wife's name. (!?) The Macromedia page works and runs
under her name, and shows that the program is installed, which it
will not do under my user name. I have disabled the Microsoft IE
pop-up blocker, and a "Popup Manager" program on my username, and
it still won't work. All of these are running on hers, too (and are
not disabled). Any ideas where to start? What would be different
from one username to another that would cause this?
Okay, some more information. The yellow pop-up bar ("Pop-up
blocked") under the toolbar never appears, so I never have a chance
to click on it to allow the information.
I tried loading Mozilla Firefox, and loaded the appropriate
Mcromedia version for it, and Mozilla does the exact same thing-
just blank boxes where the animation should be. The animated pages
still work, on IE and Firefox, on my wife's sign-in pages.
I am running AVG antivirus, Ad-Aware SE Personal, CCleaner,
Spysweeper, Spybot Search and Destroy, PopupManager, and
Spywareblaster. I have disabled these as much as I know how, but
nothing changes.
Thinking more on this, a month or so back Trend Micro online
virus scan found an infection by a virus named Anyman or something
to that effect. It recommended removing a file, which I believe was
a .dll file, but I am not sure of specifics. Normally I keep good
documentation of such things, but the paper I wrote this down on
has disappeared. Is there a file linked to animation that would be
found in each individual user's section of XP, that possibly could
have been deleted only from mine? Any good way to find it?
I truly appreciate your consideration. Thanks again,
Woodtroll

I think the solution is a matter of directory permissions.
Make sure your login/user has the same permissions as your
wife's login/user. It might just be a matter of changing your
account type to administrator in the User Accounts control panel.
You should especially check that you have permissions to:
Windows C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player
This is where flash stores it's cookies and Flash could be
having trouble changing them due to lack of permissions under your
login so it can't make any changes to your Flash Player settings.
I had the same problem when logging in to the network at
work.
If I logged in to the PC via the network server Flash would
display the symptoms you're describing. Different user logins to
the server would not work either but if I logged in to the PC
locally, Flash worked fine. I think this is because when logging in
via the network server, Flash tries to store the cookies on the
server and it can't. I'm going to try to get the network manager to
allow Flash access to this directory and hopefully that will fix
the problem.
Good luck to you, I spent a lot of hours finally figuring
this out.

Thank you.
This is a bug in Extension Manager where from time to time
one of the XML files that Dreamweaver uses gets corrupted in some
fashion and Extension manager can't edit it any longer. I've found
that it's Menus.xml in the User folder that tends to be the issue.
For DW8, the file should be located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\Menus\menus.xml
Mac:
HD:Users:username:Library: Application
Support:Macromedia:Dreamweaver MX
2004:Configuration:Menus:Menus.xml
So, how to to fix this issue. Sometimes you can uninstall all
of your extensions and reinstall them one at a time.
If that doesn't work, then you may be able to get away with
deleting the Menus.xml file (make sure it is only the one within
the username folder and not within the program install folder).
Note: this action will cause any extension that added menu items to
have those menu items removed. disabling and reenablign the
extensions shoudl bring them back.
Failing that, removing the user configuration folder (or even
renaming it) may help. Note: This will cause all extensions to be
removed from within Dreamweaver, so you'll have to reinstall.
If none of that works, then you may have to resort to
uninstalling DW, removing the user configuration folders, and then
reinstalling DW.

Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control

I am trying to run Samsung PC studio and I keep getting this error message, "Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows."
I had to re-install CS4 because of an update error message (which I am still getting) and I think that caused this problem because this program ran fine before. I do have the latest version of Flash installed (11.8.800.168) but that is the plug-in. Is the Active X control something different?
If so where can I download that?
I am running W7HP, 64 bit
Hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response but I actually started having this problem all of a sudden about a month or two ago before I encountered the recent flash problem. I think something is keeping CS4 from updating properly and that is what caused the flash issue. I had not un-installed it prior to last week.
Is adobe still offering support for CS4 when it is update related?
Any other suggestions?
According to the support page, no more support for CS4 is available.
http://www.adobe.com/support/programs/policies/supported.html
Adobe only supports two version back of the current, which in this case is CC. That would mean CS6 and CS5.5 are the two previous, and that's where it stops.

Java projects in Flash Builder

Hi all,
I previously used Flex Builder 3 on Vista x64. Inside Flex Builder 3, I had both flex projects and java projects. I needed both because I use BlazeDS and kept the java code in a separate project. I would only like 1 development environment.
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 x64 and went ahead and upgraded my Flex Builder 3 to Flash Builder 4.
It was a simple measure to import my flex projects into Flash Builder 4.
When I tried to import the Flex 3 java projects into Flash Builder 4, Flash Builder responded with:
" The folder does not contain a valid Flash Builder Project."
Short of installing Eclipse, a 32bit version of java, and using the Flash Builder Plugin, is there a way to get my java projects to import and compile in Flash Builder 4 while running on Windows 7 x64?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
- Steve
P.S. I may have had to import something special to get it to work in Flex Builder 3, I just can't remember.

If you're trying to compile Java projects in FB4, you'll need to add eclipse's Java Development Tools (JDT).
You can add the JDT this way:
- quit FB4, and launch with "Run as Administrator" from the context (right-click) menu
- from the Help menu choose "Install New Software..."
- in the resulting dialog click "Add", and enter a name of your choosing such as "Galileo Updates" in the Name field
- enter this URL into the Location field:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
- hit OK and then browse the available Galileo Updates
- select Programming Languages > Eclipse Java Development Tools
- continue on with the usual Update workflow, and after finishing it will prompt you to relaunch automatically.
Allow FB4 to relaunch, and you should now have the JDT available for compiling Java projects.

Macromedia flash

Is this the proper forum for issues regarding potential security(privacy) risks while using Macromedia Flash and OSX?

No. If you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug (ER) ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Macromedia (flash 8) Shockwave movie won't play

Hi-
I bought Macromedia Flash because I took course in Flash about 8 years ago. So,when I was asked by my company's CEO to take a presentation and turn it into a "flash movie" I said, "sure I can do that". Well, I did do it, and it plays fine on the workstation that I created it on with "Macromedia Flash Player 8. However, no one else can get it to play except by opening it with a browser, which is not really ideal for our proposed usage. Is there some sort of desktop player still available that would allow someone (like a sales guy) to just double click on an icon and play this movie? Or is there some sort of way that i can update the movie so there is a desktop player to launch it? I am semi desperate.
Thanks in advance

It has been a long time since I had Flash 8, so some of the terms may have changed. You can go to the file menu and select Publish settings.
From there you can select what types of files are created when you publish your file. If you aren't going to use the swf you can turn that off and if you select one of the Projectors (I'm guessing you are on a PC) you can select that.
A projector is a bundle of the Flash player and the content you create. It doesn't bundle other outside assets so if you have external audio or video files they can still be played by the projector, but you will need to keep those files in the same folder structure relative to the projector.
You also won't be able to access the internet from within the projector. So if you have links to your company site they won't go through.

Adobe / macromedia flash

Hi, i was wondering how adobe / macromedia flash professional is running on these new intel macs (macbook pro) because of rosetta. All i have read about is for photoshop and even that has mixed reviews. Flash needs the processor more than ram as it doesn't use big files like photoshop.
Im trying to find out coz im a flash developer wanting to buy my first mac before i finish my uni course at the end of january when i will lose my eligibility to get student discount.
My other problem seems to be that there is no upgrade path from flash/studio 8 edu to newer versions unlike with the creative suite edu. and i dont want to have to buy the full software again 3 months later for the native cs3.
any help/comments appreciated.

As a hardcore Flash Developer I've found some serious growing pains with Flash on the MacIntel machines. It doesn't matter what version of Flash you're using on the MacIntel side, it's just plan pathetic. Too say a 17" PowerBook 1.67GHz is faster or just as fast is completely absurd. Compiling swf's through the Flash IDE can be painstacking and forget about importing audio or video because that kills compile time (Luckily I keep everything external).
Flash and Mac have never really ran as efficient as it does on Windows. I've always felt OS X was the ultimate web developers machine so switching to Windows for Flash was out of the question. Yeah it's a little annoying the IDE and Player both run better on Windows but I feel OS X makes me an efficient coder on OS X(writing efficient ActionScript). Runs smooth on a Mac it's a guarantee to run great on a PC.
OK getting to the point, since I've been faced with the Flash and Rosetta issue this is what I've done and it's been a huge saver. I've bought a copy of Parallels and installed Windows XP (I know I said above I'd refuse go that route), and use that to tie me over till UB Flash 9 comes out. Heck Flash running under Parallels is at least 5 times faster than running under Rosseta. My compiling times have been cut to a minimum.
There is always the MTASC, TextMate and SWFMill route (Which is a great alternative). Also the Flex 2 Beta for Mac is out and that runs on the Eclipse Framework (Java Based Development Environment) and that's kinky on Intel. I use it every day now and it runs like a dream. Hopefully that has given you some insight to your question.

Unintentional embedded install of Macromedia Flash 8 has corrupted Windows 8 Flash player

I am in a UK school. We have just installed an older drawing package on Windows 8.1 via GPO using its MSI. Unfortunately this contained an embedded install of Macromedia Flash 8 (available to de-select in the manual install) which has installed something to make the Windows 8 built in Flash player not work (it is detected as an old version). I have now nobbled the MSI using Orca not to install Flash 8 and new installs are OK but I don't know what to do to correct the dozens or so of PCs installed with the original MSI. The drawing package uninstaller does not remove the flash 8 damage. The Flash 8 installer has clearly replaced a/some files and registry entries and they need to be "restored" with the originals. Does anybody have any ideas, or perhaps an old Flash 8 installer package I could try running to uninstall it, or a list of files/registry entries that Flash 8 has modified? Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hi OldFogey,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player for Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x. I'm actually a bit surprised that this old install was able to modify the version of Flash Player for Internet Explorer as those files are locked. Since Microsoft controls Flash Player for Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x I recommend asking your question on the pertinent Microsoft forums for Internet Explorer for Windows 8.x.

[FLASH] Macromedia Flash Search Engine SDK

He leído ue con Macromedia Flash Search Engine SDK se
puede ver aquello que Google indexa de los archivos swf.
Me gustaría saber dónde puedo descargarlo, ya que
la url oficial de la descarga está NOT AVAILABLE.
Muchas gracias,
Xiskya

Bueno, me gustaría tener una respuesta tan compacta y
segura en su contenido
que hasta los ingenieros de google y adobe se quedaran
boquiabiertos, pero
no es el caso: Ellos también están detrás de
la solución a este engorroso
asunto desde hace mucho tiempo y es muy complejo hacer que el
ingeniosos
robot de google renderice, (perdón, represente) el
contenido de las
películas interactivas de flash o que los swf's se
vuelvan harto
transparentes para la torpe lectura de una máquina. Pero
sí que podemos
hacer muchas cosas para facilitar la tarea del indexado,
qunque repito que
ninguna de las que te diré son absolutamente fiables y
que todo tiene sus
ventajas e inconvenientes. Veamos:
- Hace ya años que Google indexa parte del contenido
textual (texto
estático, no externo) del archivo swf, en especial los
títulos que se
encuentran en la parte superior de las pantallas, los enlaces
fabricados
diréctamente (sin que sean botones) y algún
contenido javascript.
Contrariamente a lo que se cree esto no solamente sucede con
las películas
principales, sino también con las cargadas desde ellas,
pero nunca estaremos
seguros de si un texto estático será
corréctamente interpretado por el gran
hermano.
Para asegurarnos de que lo haga debemos recurrir a una
técnica que suele
funcionar muy bien.
Para ello hay que entender que los desarrollos web deben
separar el
contenido del estilo y del comportamiento, y aunque el uso de
Flash puede
incluirse en las tres categorías, hace ya tiempo lo
desarrolladores tendemos
a separar el contenido de nuestras películas en archivos
externos (tanto por
la carga modular de la información, como por la
organización de las clases o
la división del trabajo entre diseñadores y
programadores). Pues bien, esta
técnica consiste en utilizar el FlashObject para
incrustar nuestra película
en el html, mediante un archivo javascript, como hacemos de
contínuo hace ya
tiempo, pues de otra manera el Internet Explorer nos avisas
con un cartelito
pedorro.
En primer lugar haremos nuestra página principal como si
no tuviera Flash y
apuntara a un enlace que muestre el contenido (bien un html,
un xml o hasta
una base de datos, lo que quieras que se indexe por google) y
solo si el
usuario tiene el plugin de flash requerido para nuestra
versión y el
javascript activado, le mandamos el contenido flash, de esta
manera:
<div id="flashcontent"> Esto se sustituye por el
contenido de Flash si el
usuario tiene la versión correcta del plugin de Flash
instalado. Coloque su
contenido HTML aquí y Google lo indexará sólo,
ya que es contenido HTML
normal (se trata de contenido HTML!) Utilizar HTML, insertar
imágenes, puede
ser cualquier cosa en lugar de una página HTML que
está muy bien. </div>
<script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ var fo
= new
FlashObject("flashmovie.swf", "flashmovie", "300", "300",
"8", "#FF6600");
fo.write("flashcontent"); // ]]> </script> </
div> <script
type="text/javascript"> / / <! [CDATA [var a = new
FlashObject (
"flashmovie.swf", "flashmovie", "300", "300", "8", " # FF6600
"); fo.write
(" flashcontent "); / /]]> </ script>
Esto, escrito en tu archivo js, hace que google se salte el
swf e indexe lo
que ocupa su lugar, pero si el visitante tiene el plugin y el
javascript
instalado y activo, respectivamente, entonces lo
mostrará. Incluso si
apuntas tu web a una base de datos google la reindexará
automáticamente de
contínuo (salvo que el archivo robots.txt de tu servidor
le indique lo
contrario). Puedes, pero debes tener cuidado con, incluir
enlaces externos
en el contenido alternativo, ya que podrían considerarte
una linkfarm y
penalizarte.
Existen otras técnicas, pero esta me da muy buen
resultado.

Can't update or uninstall Macromedia Flash player!

Hi folks!
I've got a problem concerning the automatically installed Flash player. I am using a Qosmio G20.
While installing a new program (Lexware Financial Office) this program tried to update the Macromedia Flash player to the newest version. But the deinstallation of the old player was interrupted and the following message was displayed:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'install_flash_player_7.msi' in the box below.
Use source:
C:\Sysprep\
Closing this window does end the whole installation process of this new program.
After that I opened the list of installed programs to uninstall Flash manually, but with the same result.
Then I searched the internet for this install_flash_player_7.msi. I found the file but I still can't remove or update the Flash Player.
As a last chance I backed up all my data and used the recovery DVD to reinstall the whole system. Without installing any additional application, I had a look at the list of installed programs and guess what? The Flash Player has already been installed, so it is part of the recovery DVD.
But why can't it be uninstalled? I really need to get rid of the old player to be able to install Lexware Financial Office...
Thank you for your help in advance!
Yvonne

Thanks Eldorado,
but I think I explained it not exactly enough: I know that the old Flash installation is looking for a file that seems to be on antoher pc / server / disc or what ever, but the problem is, that I did not install the Flash Player that I would like to remove, respectively upadte to the newest version.
It is part of the Toshiba Recovery DVD. That means, after killing the HD and setting up the system completely new with the Toshiba Recovery DVD, this little tricky Flash Player is already installed.
It seems to be that there is a wrong link or setup on this DVD. But if that is the case, I can not be the only one with this problem, or?
And is there any way to remove this thing manually?
Again, thanks in advance.
