Macromedia Flash Player 6 needed

I am taking an online Spanish course called Tesoros, from UC Davis.  The course required Macromedia's Flash Player 6; it won't work with Adobe Flash 10.x  I have tried downloading Macro Flash Player 6, using Safari, and it simply opts of download Adobe Flash 10.  I cannot download Flash Player 6, yet the university says I have to have it to continue in the course.  I don't know what to do next.  Change browser from Safari to something else?  Help?

Hi, see if this will help. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  I'm not sure if this is a zip file or not. It contains vs 6 for all OS. Whether the Safari browser is supported I don't know that either. This may be helpful:

You will need to Uninstall any Flash Player that you have Installed before Installing vs 6. I would download it and SAVE it to your Desktop. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html  
Hope that helps,

  • 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.

  • Cant uninstall Macromedia Flash Player 6

    My system is unable to uninstall and upgrade from Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21. I have tried the Flash Player uninstall and the Flash Player 6 uninstall. I have manually deleted the Flash.ocx files wherever they occur.
    The Adobe Website acknowledges the latest Flash Player installed on my system, but when right click on a flash file I still only get the oprion of open with: Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21.
    Ther are files which prompt me to upgrade to the latest Flash Player, which I have done on many occasions. Remove programs does not even list the Macromedia Flash Player 6.
    I have even tried to upgrade to the later versions of versions Macromedia Flash Player 6, without success. I simply cannot get rid of Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21
    I have Windows XP home SP2
    Can anybody help?

    "The Adobe Website acknowledges the latest Flash Player installed on my system, but when right click on a flash file I still only get the oprion of open with: Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21."
    Flash is designed to play SWF content inside a browser. It's a browser plugin.  It's not designed to open local SWF on your system as an installed application.  So when you update to Flash player 10, you're updating your Flash Player ActiveX control (for IE windows) or the Flash Player plugin (for Firefox and all other OS/browsers).
    So, when you point your browser to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome and it says you have Flash Player 10 then you have the most recent version.  If you need to open a local SWF launch your browser and use file:open
    Now, if you really want to try to get the older player off your machine I'd use the command line uninstall in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402435.html
    (but keep in mind that should uninstall ALL Flash Player files from your machine, so you'd have to resinstall FP10 afterwards).

  • "Macromedia Flash Player"; vs. "Flash Player?"

    My new camera says
    I need to download "Macromedia Flash Player": is that the same as "Flash Player?
    I tried to download the new Flash Player just in case and kept getting an error.  During the download attempts it said I already had it (flash player) and asked if I wanted to rerun it.  That's what failed repeatedly.  It keep telling me I had to close "conflicting" Yahoo Messenger and Internet Explorer before it could continue.  How do I close something that isn't running?  I am "multiply" confused.  Can you advise?

    Hopefully everything will work now, but I'm still confused.  I didn't get a chance to follow your instructions because in the process of trying to figure out how to close internet explorer and yahoo messenger without shutting down the install page; I succeded and then Incredimail popped up on the screen to "complete" the install it had been trying to do since yesterday.  As soon as  I managed to close those programs, it was all automatic.  I restarted AGAIN, just to make sure.  I went to the link you sent and it says I have:
    You have version 10,1,53,64 installed
    However, when I open program "add/delete" on my computer; as before, it lists the Flash Player but there aren't any MB listed like all the other programs have.  I know it's working because Incredimail came back on.  Of course,  initially I tried loading the new player because my photo program claimed it couldn't run without it.  Why would they say that if I already had it because it appears that I did until I started messing with things.  Somehow it then went away.  I'll try my photo  program again tomorrow if I can find time.  I have 2 doctor appointments. 
    Thanks so much for all your help.  I hope you don't mind if I "keep you", at least until I make sure the photo program is happy with the Flash Player.  Thanks and good night

  • Downloading from a Macromedia Flash Player Video

    Is it possible to download a video message sent through
    Sightspeed, that is in a Macromedia Flash Player format? I've tried
    to right click it and all I get is Macromedia Flash Player
    Settings.

    oldmovieguy:
    See if you can use Image Capture (located in the Application folder) to upload the video file to the desktop before importing into iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Macromedia Flash Player, what am I doing wrong?

    I'm a simp and I'm stumped! I used to be able to watch videos on youtube but now when I go there I get the message: "Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia Flash Player". I have no idea (and I've been looking) how to get info on turning on Javascript and when I go to the link and try to download a newer version of Flash Player it goes to a page saying: "Not found - The requested URL/flashplayer etc., was not found on this server". What did I do to screw things up? What am I doing wrong? What can I do to fix this so I can watch videos again?

    Hi, Jupie -
    Re Sherlock, it sounds like you may be activating a network search instead of searching on your hard drive.
    Check which of the icons in the upper section of Sherlock's window is highlighted - has a greenish border added to it. If your search is to be of the local volume(s) (drives), be sure the icon that looks like an external hard drive case is the one highlighted. If the one that looks like a globe is highlighted, Sherlock will attempt a network search.
    Re increasing the memory allocation for a program - it really isn't difficult, nor should it be risky in any way. Here's how to do it -
    First, quit the program if it's running.
    Then click once on the icon of the program itself, not on an alias to it. If you customarily use an alias to activate the program, a quick way to het to the original is to click once on the alias, then press Command-R (Show Original from the File menu). This will open the folder containing the original, no matter how deeply it is buried, and highlight the original. Then all you need do is press Command-I (Get Info from the File menu).
    Select Get Info from the File menu (if you've not already done that), and then select Memory from the pulldown menu in the Get Info window.
    In the new pane, at the bottom, are three boxes with numbers in them - the one you want to change is the last one, labelled Preferred.
    For most programs, an increase of 50% is a good starting point; for small apps like control panels and printing software, doubling is okay; for browsers, email apps, and graphics apps, try at least doubling or tripling the original Preferred amount to start with.
    Replace the old number in the box with the new one - no commas - close the window, and you're done.
    There are a few tricks you can do with Sherlock - for example, restricting its search to just a single folder. This can be very handy to save time when doing a Find By Content search.

  • Macromedia flash player has stopped a pontentially unsafe operartion

    I have just managed to figure out how to get a button to
    work, and now I get the message 'Macromedia flash player has
    stopped a pontentially unsafe operartion'!
    It says that I need to go and edit the settings, so I have
    gone to the part of adobe/macromedia website clicked always allow,
    but nothing has changed...
    All I am trying to do test a file on my computer that
    connects to the internet. What do I need to do to get it to work?
    Thanks
    Mat

    Exactly. There are three ways you can go about this.
    First you could change your Flash Player trust settings to
    trust Flash files on your desktop. (
    Follow
    this link to see how)
    You could upload your Flash files to a server and test them
    there.
    Finally you could write a Flash trust file in a Text editor.
    (Literally you would type the file location of your Flash
    file into a simple text file. (.txt) Then place this file here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\
    your_account\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
    Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust)

  • Why am I and my Flash app users continuously bombared with "A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player-"

    I'm experiencing a severe backlash from users of Flash
    applications due to the frustration generated from encountering a
    continuous bombardment of messages during the intialization of
    Flash applications that reads:
    "A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 8
    to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become
    unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"
    What's worse is there are only two, very limited options for
    users. The first is to continue on and the second is to simply
    abandon the app and apparently forget about trying to accomplish
    whatever it was you were accessing the application for. I'm going
    to continue scouring Live Docs, Google, etc and hopefully I'll be
    able to post my own answer soon. In the meantime, any input on the
    matter would be VERY welcome.
    Can anyone shed some light on this please?

    You're saying "users of Flash applications." Do you mean
    *all* Flash
    applications? Or just one?

    You don't have to scour very far. This message occurs when
    something
    inside a given SWF file is poorly written -- perhaps an
    infinitely recursing
    function, perhaps some other un-optimized looping or an
    incredible amount of
    unchecked math operations. But this certainly isn't something
    that just
    happens.
    Can you nail this to one particular file? If so, the
    developer of that
    file needs to start troubleshooting her/her own code.

    There is no "flash player similar to Adobe Flash Player". Flash is a proprietary Adobe product. There is currently no version of Flash for iOS.

  • How do I delete home directory /Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\Player ?

    How do I delete<home directory>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\Player?

    Note that it'll be created over every time you load a Flash object in a Web browser (at least if it has Flash enabled).
    The only way to consistently get rid of all its content would be to create an AppleScript, or use Automator to create a workflow that would empty this folder when you close the browser.

  • How to uninstall Macromedia Flash Player 8

    I don't remember when I installed this hideous software! And it doesn't exist in the Applications Folder and cannot be found with Spotlight (that I find useless BTW).
    Unfortunately this "Macromedia Flash Player 8" is set as default for all .flv videos. If I try to play a video by double clicking on it, the "Macromedia Flash Player 8" icon shows on the Deck but doesn't play a thing. The only to play a video is to choose another application from the right click menu every time I want to play a clip!
    I tried Adobe's website but failed to find a solution for Mac users!
    I'd be grateful if someone can:
    1) help me remove this application for good.
    2) help me set default applications and preset them with certain file extensions because if I choose another application and ask to ALWAYS OPEN WITH, still it didn't work in this case!

    Thank you all for your contribution.
    I have no clue how or when I mistakenly installed this Flash 8. Anyway, all the above I have tried but of no use.
    My last resort -which thank God worked for me- was to uninstall all Adobe software to avoid confusion. I use AppDelete that helped clear the remaining leftovers
    Then I used Spotlight as advised above, but at first it didn't help because the application couldn't be found in any search as if it is unlisted... until I used the Spotlight to search for old applications by date where I found the icon f in a blue circle representing the Flash 8. I deleted it and that was the end of it.
    I reinstalled all Adobe applications back... and all is well.
    Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.
