Javascript no longer detects latest Flash Player

Hi,
After having automatic updates on all our pcs happen for
Flash to 9.0.115 version, no ssit which uses flash detection using
javascript works anymore, we have the issue on all 5 of our pc's
For example on our own site the javascript redirects us to
the non Flash page, on that page we can click to go to our flash
site without javascript detection, then our site works.
Through one or the other reason, this version of flash is no
longer detected as normal version 9 Flash Player ??????
All previous Flash version 9 gave no problem.
We are on XP and Explorer 7.
This version of the flashplayer seems to be very buggy.
Any solution to this ?

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
Flash10r.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10r_ActiveX.dll and .exe
Still no sound
I've also noticed that in Sound mixer, the option to control the sound of internetaplications is gone. So maybe it's just that simple that it's on mute but i can Neither see nor change this setting.
In my search to fix this I've seen a lot of posts from people with similar problems but they never got a solution.

Adobe Captivate 4 not detecting latest Flash Player

Hi,
I just put together a new laptop, and insatlled all the normal programs/drivers - flash player, adobe reader, etc.
I installed Flash Player 10 from your website, and received the confirmation flash screen "Congratulations you now have the latest..."
I installed Adobe Captivate 4 - Trial Version from your website without any problems downloading.
This is not my first attempt at installing/un-installing/re-installing both Captivate 4 and Flash Player 10 on this computer - I'm on my fourth attempt at reinstalling both programs.
I am running Vista Ultimate x86.
This computer meets all system requirements by Adobe Captivate 4.
Is this a problem with Captivate, Flash Player, or (doubtful) my computer?
Thanks!

Lilybiri,
This is odd, I am certain that I read an addendum on the Flash 10 download page last week, it explained that the incompatibility problem was fixed.
That message is no longer present today.
Other than that, some security changes were also made to Flash 10 that may impact your work. See this link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_security_changes_print.html#hea d32
To check your current version go here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
I am using version 10.0.32.18. I have run many compatibility tests and haven't found problems with this version of Flash.
If version 10 is causing problems for you, uninstall by going here: http://kb.adobe.com/go/tn_14157

How to get latest flash player version from javascript code

Hello,
I want to know the latest flash player version number programmatically to compare with currently installed flash player version.
I have requirement in which i need to show message to user when installed flash player version < latest flash player version.
there is no API offlash player available which we can call to get the latest flash player version.
We tried to do webscrapping of adobe site which prints version number but we need to do this from javascript.
Is there any way through which we can come to know wether our installed flash player version is older than latest flash player released version?
Please help..
Thanks
Dhwani

It's in the Global Settings Manager in the Control Panel (Windows) or System Preferences (Mac), but I'm unaware of a javascript you can create to do this independent of a Flash container.
The best you can do would be to create a web page with the expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js added to a Flash container in the page. While that won't give a detailed (installed vs new) indication, it WILL prompt for an update if the current version is higher than the installed version.
You'd then have to add the webpage to startup items, so the end user would see it on login.

Latest Flash Player does not recognise an Old Script

Hi, here's hoping this is in the right Forum. Some time ago I added an excellent Flash widget to a page - recently I went back to the widget code to add it to a new page, unfortunately now, the element displays in the page as an error message - "You have an old version of Flash Player. Please visit adobe.com and get a new one". I tried in vain to reinstall the latest version of Flash to no avail - it was already installed, as I suspected. Then I remembered that the code was old, so I began to backgrade my Flashplayer - bingo! The excellent 'Facehugger' (form the Alien series of films) appeared. Only now I had an old version of Flash on my pc and nothing else would load. hhhmmmm dilemma, every other Flash I tried to load would require the latest Flash player EXCEPT my beloved Facehugger. So, my question is, are there any Flash code experts out there who would be able to take a look at the widget code and make it compatible with Flash 10+?
heres the code:- <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'height','528','width','385','allowscriptaccess','never','allownetwor king','internal','src','http://www.avp-r.com/EN/widgets/facehugger.php?api=html','wmode','tran sparent','menu','false','quality','best','scale','noscale','movie','ht tp://www.avp-r.com/EN/widgets/facehugger.php?api=html' ); //end AC code
</script><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" height="528" width="385">

<param name="movie" value="http://www.avp-r.com/EN/widgets/facehugger.swf.php?api=html" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />

<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" src="http://www.avp-r.com/EN/widgets/facehugger.swf.php?api=html" height="528" width="385" wmode="transparent" menu="false" quality="best" scale="noscale" />
</object></noscript>

i think the problem is with your html code rather than the swf itself.
there is now a better way of embedding swfs called SWFObject. Theres a tutorial here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/swfobject.html and an online code generator here: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html

Constantly have to reinstall latest flash player

I have a pain-in-the-***-problem!
I'm running the latest Internet Explorer (IE8) and the latest
flash player (on a Vista(32) platform).
Everytime my computer has been turned off, I have to
reinstall flash player eventhough it's activated, enabled, run as
administrator and everything else that normally may cause it not to
function.
Not only do I have to reinstall FP, but I also have to
uninstall it first before reinstall!!
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Latest flash player, wmode GPU still not working in Safari

Hi
I have the latest flash player installed, (10.2.153.1) but when i use the parameter
wmode=gpu
in safari, nothing is displayed AT ALL. When right-clicking on the page, you only get the standard html options.
When I remove the 'wmode' parameter, everything works fine.
I have the latest version of safari. Everything works fine in other browsers (firefox, chrome).
any ideas anyone???
thanks!

Sometimes it is just a trial and error. The main thing is since I'm not working with your files, I have to mimic your scenario as best I can. Make sure you give it exact positions when stacking actual videos or swf files to force them to overlap. I tested this first with just a swf file and now the example is swapped to stack to youtube embeds as examples.
It really shouldn't matter if it is a dropdown or what type of activity, as long as you have the stacking correct. You can also, generally set the one in back to opaque. I updated the code snippet because this one seemed to read better.

I wish to make a complaint re Latest Flash Player Update

The latest Flash Player update installed Chrome on my PC without asking if I wanted it and without my consent. This is illegal in Australia and likely other countries too (eg USA).

Michael,
First, the update I witnessed installed McAfee Security Scan, NOT Google toolbar. But you're absolutely right. Installing it with no "opt out" is far less than what I would call a "good practice". That's the reason I DO update all my software, but I do it "manually". I never suggested "not upgrading" or not updating, but rather recommended what I do myself. I have always had a serious problem with people who tell me to do something they would never consider doing, so I don't make a habit of it myself. Yesterday alone I updated AIR and Flash Player on four systems... manually.
I doubt I'll be able to restore your trust in Adobe. ONLY YOU can do that. As to your complaint, you originally indicated that said behavior was "illegal" and I believe I did a pretty darn good job of explaining why it isn't, because you click the "update" button, regardless of the reason, and your doing so (again, regardless of the reason) implies (if not proves), consent on your part. That's a legal point, even though it doesn't address trust or ethics at all.
When I was at Intuit, we reviewed two separate lawsuits during training on EULA compliance, one was a "Class action" filed by a state Attorney General, alleging that Intuit had installed what amounted to a "rootkit" (Google C-Dilla for more info) on potentially millions of systems without user consent, for the implementation of "anti-piracy" software in TurboTax in 2002. I went to work there in 2003 and I personally issued more than 300 replacement CD-Rs (along with apology letters) that didn't have the C-Dilla on them.
While the court ruled that the software itself caused many problems for the people who were involved in the suit, and that Intuit was liable for damages related to the repair or replacement of affected systems, the ruling magistrate was VERY CLEAR in pointing out that in installing the original software, and "accepting the end user licesne agreement", whether they actually read the whole thing (or any of it at all) beforehand, indicated their consent to install any and all software associated with such agreement. Therefore, the liability was severely limited, and NO puntiive damages could be applied. Several hundred people got free repairs and a few even got new computers, but Intuit made the decision not to use C-Dilla afterward; it was never ordered by the court.
TurboTax is paid software, and Flash Player is free, and C-Dilla was proven to be far more destructive than McAfee, Norton or Google bundled software (it rendered many systems useless), but the principle established by the court was that no one is forced to use TurboTax, and therefore not all of the liability could fall on the developer. Similarly, no one is forced to use Flash Player, or Adobe Reader. That hardly justifies installing third party apps in an update, with no opt out, but it still requires a user initiation to install a "bundled" update, and there ARE options to avoid the bundled software, which are posted in these forums DOZENS of times daily.
As I pointed out, I know of at least one detailed report that was submitted regarding this. It was my intention in reporting it, that someone would make changes that allow users to opt out of unwanted installs when all they're trying to do is update software they see as necessary to get full use and/or enjoyment out of their personal or work computer. Obviously that hasn't happened. I'm not endorsing the practice, or making excuses for it. I already made my position clear on "unwanted" software.
However, I also pointed out that the practice of "bundling software" is industry wide and it ISN'T going to end anytime in the foreseeable future, hence the links I provided and the advice to manually update. Believe me, I fully understand your frustration and I'm on your side. I have to be realistic, though. I have systems with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1. One of the Win 8 systems is my laptop I use when meeting with clients. I can't afford it to be down because of an anti-virus conflict, and I refuse to use Google Chrome on it because of the massive resource consumption of Google's excuse for a browser. But I've had to make changes in the way I do things to avoid it, because I'm not going to force a company the size of Adobe to change (as my unheeded report has proven).
I'm a freelance web designer, not an employee here. Thanks to the U.S. economy, I have a lot of time to help people out here, so I do. I'm an end user like you, only I have several years of software development and troubleshooting experience. I don't particularly enjoy answering the "why did they install (insert bundled software name here) on my system?" questions. Usually there's no convincing the original poster and subsequent posters that there IS a way around it. Most of them want their computers and ALL software companies to do everything for them, and do it without ever inconveniencing them with knowing it was done, and THEN they complain when something IS installed without their explicit approval. That's a hard case to argue.
Maybe (I'm not holding my breath) enough complaints like yours will eventually persuade Adobe to NOT install bundled apps with updates, and no way to say no to it. Meantime, I do things the long way because I have to, to keep my systems running like I want them

Win 7 64bit hangs on latest Flash Player Update

Win 7 64bit hangs on the latest Flash Player Update. It happened twice yesterday, after I installed the latest (automatic) Flash Player Update. After I uninstalled that Update, my system was stable again. Now I lack Flash Player, but at least I have a stable system.

Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for the fast response. I have tried installing the 11.3 beta update onto a local PC, and this does seem to resolve the issue.
And now the inevitable question...
When is 11.3 likely to get rolled out?
No doubt this is a tricky question for you to answer - but roughly, is this days/weeks/months away. I just could do with a vague idea, as we can cope with it for a day or two, but otherwise I'm going to need to come up with an alternative. My whole business is based around online video in one form or another - and everyone with the latest update can no longer use it - hence big problem for us.
Many Thanks
Stewart

Downloading offline (standalone) installer of latest Flash player?

When visiting the normal download link for the latest Flash player (currently 10.3.183.10), it says the file is 2.95 MB. But it's actually 766 KB, i.e. it's a web installer.
I want to install flash player on a computer which doesn't have proper internet access (don't ask why, long story). Can I find the complete, full, standalone "offline" installer anywhere on adobe.com ?

Hi,
I went in search of a standalone or offline installer of the latest Adobe Flash and a Google search landed me here. Anyway I managed to sort out my download but not with anything on this posting so I have registered to share my solution:
Searching for an 'offline' or 'standalone' isntaller doesnt work. If you search on Google for 'adobe flash distribution download' or something along those lines using the keyword 'distribution' you will quickly find what you need. That said below is the link that works at the time of this posting:

Any idea?
Thank you for your time.

Latest flash player update 11.2.202.229 causing player for forcefully buffer full video content.

Hi,
Been using the flash player for years on various websites, and over the past few days hundreds of videos have stopped working - seemingly related to computers / browsers with the latest flash player update.
Video just won't play at all - instead of playing, it starts to buffer the whole video file, but mostly never manages to complete and play.
Am I alone here - or is this a wider issue?
Here is just one example video that will not play with the latest version - http://www.vintra.co.uk/Client-Script-Libraries/Thurleigh_Investment_Management_Q1_Preview _1.htm

Hi Anne,
Your version of Safari is still supported. Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari. This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it." Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser. The plugin does not open files outside of the browser. If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not. Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.
