Major Defect in Flash

Major Defect in Shockwave Flash Object
Using IE7, closing a daughter window can disconnect a session
in a parent window. This issue is Case#:1028384908 at Microsoft.
Example:
1. Create a link to login to Comcast email through the web.
2. Select the link and login.
3. Select the Compose button (to compose a new mail, this
creates a daughter window)
4. Select the Cancel button in the Compose (daughter) window.
This will result in your session being disconnected.
If you disable the Shockwave Flash Object(Flash9b.ocx) in the
Manage Add On Control Panel off of the Tools menu, then the problem
does not occur.
This ActiveX control is packaged with IE7.
This disconnection problem is prevalent with any application
that uses a standard close window regardless of the use of Flash or
not in the page. This is a major problem that can cause
intermittent disconnects with your system, and Adobe has not
responded yet.
p.s. I am Director of QA for a Software Development
Company.

I like to speak to some one who has done a 9.2.0.5 RAC installation on AS 2.1. Could they send me an email so that I could get some help in doing this task successfully.

Having Major Issues with Flash Player

Using IE 8, 64 bit, flash player 11.4.402.287
Having major issue with flash player! can not play a lot of games on FB. Games tell me that i need to update my Flash Player, PC says I have the latest version installed already.Ok, thought i would uninstall/reinstall...no go. Will not uninstall, says I need to close IE...which none are open. This issue has been going on for weeks now. I have done everything the help said to do and still not working. I need HELP!

im using the recent adobe flash player

Major bug in flash 10.2/10.3 beta. FPS drop in 1080p, HA.

Not sure if it has been reported before but there's a huge bug in the hardware acceleration on flash 10.2 and 10.3 beta.
The issue:
If you run 1080p youtube content fullscreen, hardware acceleration on, the FPS drop to 30-80% of what it should be, AFTER you seek in the video and flip back and forth fullscreen mode (if you don't do that, it just runs fine). If the FPS doesn't drop, then just flip/back fullscreen some more and seek some more, it pretty soon will drop. Once it dropped, it will stay low for the rest of the movie.
It's easy to verify when you put the FPS counter ('show video info') on screen, but you can also see it by just closely watching the video and see how it becomes less smooth.
When you disable the hardware acceleration the issue is gone.
Tested and confirmed on:
Win7, winXP
Chrome, IE, Mozilla
Flash 10.2 and 10.3 beta
Nvidia, ATI (both latest drivers)
So. pretty much everybody suffers from it I guess ...
Random 1080p test movie here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk

Thanks for your report; We'll look in to this.

Major problems with Flash CS5

Hello,
I work with a big FLA, more than 400 MB, although compiled SWF is just measly 2.5 MB or so. Recently I've reached a dead end with my project, because flash eats up to something like 1.2 GB RAM and pretty much stops performing: wouldn't let me add more items to the library and keeps throwing that "low memory" message, also keeps crashing numerous times just after SWF gets compiled with "test movie". Most of the space is used by imported to the library SWF files wich automatically generate sequence of bitmap files for every frame which takes all that memory obviously. This is a huge problem and I don't know how to solve it. Is there any solution for this kind of situation?

Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but did you say you were importing SWF's to the library? Would it be possible to load the swf's externally instead using actionscript, for example create a movie clip the size of the swf file, then use the getURL function and place the name of the swf in the input field so it would read getURL("myswf");
NOTE: it would be easiest to create a copy of all the swf files you will be using and just dump them in the same folder as your current fla.
Been a while since I've loaded swfs like this so the AS2 syntax might be a bit off. if worst comes to worst use the script assist to find the exact syntax used for this kind of thing. Hope this helps.

Major Questions about Flash Paper 2.0

Ok, I've been fiddling around with flash paper 2 over the
last few days. Like it a lot for my non-technical users..however, I
have a few questions. Hopefully someone can answer soon. Ok, I have
a main swf and in there I'm using a script I found (person who
wrote it, last name: Whitehouse) on the Net which allows me to load
a flash paper file from within that main swf along with some
control on some interface features. Here it is:
onClipEvent (load) {
// function: loadFlashPaper
// Parameters:
// path_s: path of SWF to load
// dest_mc: Movie clip to hold the imported SWF
// width_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// height_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// loaded_o: (optional) Object to be notified that loading is
complete
function loadFlashPaper(path_s, dest_mc, width_i, height_i,
loaded_o) {
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function(){
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp) {
return;
} else if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false) {
return;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
dest_mc._visible = true; // Now show the document
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
// Function called once the FlashPaper SWF is embedded:
function onLoaded(fp) {
// We can now call the FlashPaper API functions.
// Remove the standard user interface features:
fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", false);
fp.showUIElement("Print", false);
fp.showUIElement("Find", false);
fp.showUIElement("Tool", false);
fp.showUIElement("Pop", false);
fp.showUIElement("Zoom", false);
fp.showUIElement("Page", false);
fp.showUIElement("Overflow", false);
fp.showUIElement("useHandCursor", false);
fp.enableScrolling(true);
// Some additional API features (here commented out):
// Go to page:
// fp.setCurrentPage(3);
// Change the magnification to 50%:
// fp.setCurrentZoom(50);
// Now we're ready to start
// Create the destination movie clip to hold the SWF:
var theDocMC_mc = _root.labserviceworkclip;
// Position it on the stage:
theDocMC_mc._x = 15.4;
theDocMC_mc._y = 211.8;
//theDocMC_mc.useHandCursor = false;
// Load the FlashPaper SWF into the clip,
// size it, and trigger the onLoaded() function:
loadFlashPaper("labservicework.swf", theDocMC_mc, 730, 510,
this);
//_root.miningprojectspopup.hidecontainer.loadMovie("19a.swf");
Now, is it possible to:
1.) Remove the hand curser?
2.) Remove the Flash Paper splash that appears before the swf
is loaded? Maybe replace it with loader bar?
3.) Control color of scrollbar (like you can on flash
components)
4.) The main swf is set to transparency, but if make
background color in Word doc a color, that color does not show up.
Why?
4.) In Word, I want to create multiple pages that appear
seamless when scrolling down in the swf file. however, can't to get
that to work. Has anyone tried this? I'm open to any option such as
using tables inside my Word docs (am trying that now but still not
working).
5.) I created an 8 page document in Word 2003 and saved it as
swf BUT am getting this "Printer Failed.." response. If I do pages
smaller in number, works fine. What's going on with that. I also
have installed CutePDF installed..could that be screwing it up?
6.) I want to include anchors inside the swf file so that at
the click of a button, I can automatically move the scroll up or
down. Any idea how to do that?
7.) I want to inlude links inside the swf file to navigate to
different frames inside main swf. Is that possible?
8.) When creating hyperlinks in Word to swf file, (yes, I
chose correct target frame), the page doesn't appear to open into a
new window. What's up with that?

First off I would recommend buying the non academic full version for $20 more because its worth it. So when Aperture 2.5 or 3 comes out, you do not have to pay the full price for it.
As for your library, make a backup if you want, but all you need to do after installing a licensed version of Aperture 2 is go to your previous library and then select "open with..." then chose Aperture 2 (default)
Once you do that you will receive a message stating that "once your library has been updated, it will not open in previous versions of Aperture, do you wish to continue?"
After you do that your library will be fully imported into Aperture 2 exactly as it was in the previous versions of the program.
Hope that helps.

Incompetent CS ignores you, lock your call/case or sends defective parts : What should i do?!

Hello. I live in France and the Lenovo CS (same line for all europe i guess) has always been poor in terms of communication (title says incompetent but autistic would be a better word for the case..). Apparently i'm far from being the only one feeling so, but now it reached another level :
Since the begining i had my Thinkpad, it had many strange powering related issues, many. They often told me i could have the motherboard replaced, but i refused cause i didn't felt safe with it. Now that warranty was coming to an end, i thought about it and was like "come on, let's go for it" even though i still didn't felt safe about it..
I also had trouble with the fan making strange noise at times. They actually sent a fan to me a year ago but it wasn't the right FRU, i just let go on that at this time. Now, since i was going to get the motherboard replaced (they agreed) i told them to please send back the fan, reminding them it was supposed to be changed.
As said i do not feel safe when someone has to tear appart my unit, i'd rather do it myself. So i said, please change the parts all at once. That's when it got complicated. They refused to change the fan. Even though i sent them back their automatic mail showing that part was sent back in time (that's what they asked). From there it was just hell :
[Just so you know, i have Day+1 on site warranty] Not only they ignored mails but also tried shortening the call, telling me to "keep calm and wait" in a very rude way. From there, since emails were ignored, i called back from time to time, only to get repeated "WAIT" with no communication possible and calls most often hanging in the end.
The last person i had, being nicer, told me they had a problem in their system and couldn't communicate with the tech guys. But her speech became unclear and it appeared clearly it was bull**bleep**. She also surprisingly told me the fan was now included in the repair..!
At that point it's been more than a week of waiting, i asked around if somebody by chance would have an IBM tech phone number (since they're the people doing the repair). Someone kindly sent me one and it worked. I called him next day and he answered.
Talking to the IBM tech, he first told me they had absolutely no communication issue and after looking at my case/call, immediatly mentionned it was locked. He wrote something to IBM and told me to call him back the next day. So i did and since nothing changed, he kindly did what the CS is supposed to do, he set and appointment.
A tech came next day (that's what Day+1 is supposed to be). Guess what? They sent wrong fan again. Hard to believe it's a mistake again. Anyways, the motherboard replacement took place without much trouble. I then waited for the tech to come back with the fan. But the CS is still being what it is :
Just before the tech came for the MB replacement, i called CS just to make sure they know what's going on. The lady said "great, hope all works for you after!" so i thought hell's over. But after the tech did his work and left, having a little issue (now resolved) i called back CS and this time the lady was again like "WAIT" she didn't even know the tech came!
You never know when if they're lying. But i guess they do a lot. After the MB was replaced, i noticed trackpad/touchpad had issues. But that quickly came back. I also noticed the GPU was overheating (temps were already high before). The new fan was making more annoying noise. I just asked them to change it. But no, their super IT decided to change the CPU..
I told them over and over it was the GPU overheating, not CPU. But they insisted; Tech came with new CPU which WASN'T brand new (it's supposed to be). It was refurbished.. Wait, it said "certified reutilized" no idea what that means..? Unfortunatly the issue with ultranav came back and this time stayed dead, the fingerprint was also dead. So the tech came back.. Whilh testing, he did reset the bios, which sets graphics to optimus. I always use discrete only.
That's when we discovered a new issue : the integrated graphic is totally defective, screen flash on/off every 5sec or so and then system freeze..! So in the end, ALL parts they replaced were having much worse trouble then original one! And replacing the CPU for a defective one may be intentional.. Since the warranty end, they may think i'll buy a new one after this one dies.. Sorry but you're wrong!
What the hell Lenovo, you can't even communicate with your collegues..? It's shocking when the IBM tech talk to them, it's like they don't believe what he says. Or don't understand.. Since their level is SO LOW. My warranty now got only 10 days remaining.
I don't know if/when they're going to decide to do something. They now regularly ask me to send back the whole unit to them. No way, i won't do that. Thinkpads are great but warranty is crap, be careful when buying expensive on site extensions.
As you know, parts are guaranteed 3 months after they get changed, even your warranty ends before. But seeing how they act, I'm now very worried, it seems i can only rely to the IBM tech, which unfortunatly have no power/rights here.
I know there are some Lenovo staff here, hope they'd say a word. Even though i'm in Europe, this is global lenovo forum... There is apparently NOT A SINGLE WAY to complain to a higher level in this company.

Julien,

Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains. You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.

Flash not running in FF but runs in IE and Chrome

What about embedding it yourself?
Create empty HTML file, download swfobject.js: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/list
And use this block of code. Of course, change name of swf file, width and height. Unpack swfobject.js right next to the html file.

How to format a flash drive on my mac book pro

I have a mac book pro, but at school they just use PC's. I need to be able to save my homework on my flash drive at home and bring it into class and open it up on the PC. The programs I am using are the Adobe Creative Suite (photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver,etc.) and they will let you go back and forth between the mac and the PC. The problem is that I used my flash drive to save my homework, no problem, but after a while it didn't work anymore.
I was told at school, I needed format my flash drive(when it was new) on my mac and then it would be fine to go back and forth. My old flash drive that is messed up, they said just to re-format it on the mac and then it would be fine. How do you do either of those things? Sorry this is so wordy.

Does the older flash drive work on a PC still, cec? If not it may simply be defective. Flash drives can live a hard life!
You shouldn't need to reformat your new stick. I very much doubt that the failure of the old one has anything at all to do with the fact that it wasn't formatted on a Mac .
What OS are you using, by the way? Your various posts seem to say different things.
Just by the way many smaller/older memory sticks will be formatted as FAT-16 rather than FAT-32. Disk Utility , from memory , will actually automatically do this if the drive is under a certain size.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileAllocationTable#Future :
+FAT is still the normal file system for removable media (with the exception of CDs and DVDs), with FAT12 used on floppies, and FAT16 on most other removable media (such as flash memory cards for digital cameras and USB flash drives). Most removable media are not yet large enough to benefit from FAT32, although some larger flash drives, like SDHC, do make use of it. FAT16 is used on these drives for reasons of compatibility and size overhead.+

Flash's published HTML (+js) won't work in Safari?

I have created a Flash file that consists of nothing but an FLVPlayback control that loads a .flv file. I then use the default publish settings to publish the .swf. The resulting HTML file opens, displays properly, and plays the movie in IE7, FF3.0, and Chrome 2.0. However, when I open it in Safari 3.0.4, I see nothing; just a blank page. Safari has FP10 installed and has no problems displaying Flash content on any other web sites, e.g. iTunes, Apple. Adobe, or YouTube). I don't have IE8 to test on (I installed it and it hosed my whole system, so it's been eradicated).
I am loading the file locally from the file system; I want to make sure it works before I publish it. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but I don't see how it could. The AC_RunActiveContent.js script is present and getting loaded (I wish I were right now ).
Has anyone else experienced this or know what the problem might be? I am including the entirety of the HTML content it generated here for reference (I have changed the tag brackets to braces just so it will post here).

Yes, that would be helpful, I know. However, the file isn't being hosted anywhere. It will be e-mailed, I guess, as an e-vite. I just created the Flash file and published swf & html plus a jpeg as a still. Then I sent that to the marketing person...who knows less about this than I do. But for some reason, when she opens the file up in her IE browser, she is getting an older revision of the e-vite that isn't playing correctly. I suspected that she possibly only referenced the new html file and it sourced the old swf file. So when she played it in the browser, she saw the old swf file play. I've asked her to make sure she deletes any old copies and just uses the new html and swf files. Does that sound like a possible solution? I haven't heard back from her yet to see if that solved the issue.

10.6.8 killed my flash player

Ever since the day i downloaded osx 10.6.8, I have had major troubles with Flash. Live streaming does not work (Major League Baseball, and others); Google Maps streetview does not navigate. The problem is the same in Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Youtube videos work, though.
I have: uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, tried an earlier version of it, repaired permissions, deleted file sharing, and done everything recommended in every Mac and Flash help forum and discussion site. Nothing works. Can anyone help?

This is so very strange!
I followed the clean install info EXACTLY as it said. When it was completed, nothing would play, despite the facet that the "allow other plug-ins" box WAS checked. So I said to myself, maybe if I UN-check and RE-check it something will work. While it was UN-checked a you-tube video did play.....so I attempted another....nothing. I RE-checked and restarted the computer. Nothing! Every website (tried HBO, Youtube, and Hulu all on Safari AND on Firefox just in case)......all tell me that I need the "latest version of Adobe Flash player".
I believe it was HBO that said version 10.2 minimum and I believe the version I"m attempting to install is 11.9.
And I thank you kindly for any additional suggestions. I promise you that I'm following these directions word for word....something is clearly wrong!

How to pass a variable from HTML to Flash

I have built my flash ad banner in Flash 9 and now want the
HTML code to pass the url over to the flash movie that it should
jump to when clicked.
The info in the help file seems out of date for the latest
HTML template as it uses mainly JavaScript to get round IE's
dreadful embeding issue. So my problem is, how do I pass a variable
from the HTML to the actionScript specified int he Help file
(running on a full screen button) as shown below?
myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (clickTAG.substr(0, 5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG);
via the html code now used by Flash 9 which is like this:

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Advert_long</title>
<script language="javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent = 0;
</script>
<script language="javascript"> DetectFlashVer = 0;
</script>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js"
language="javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">



<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
<noscript>
// Provide alternate content for browsers that do not support
scripting
// or for those that have scripting disabled.
Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content
requires the Adobe Flash Player.

You should use SWFObject to embed your Flash. Not only does
it make
embedding more straightforward, it makes passing query
parameters very easy.
