Making a forum or blog with flash?

I'd like to know why I've never seen a forum (like this one)
or a blog made out of flash. Is there a technical hurdle? Is it
because Google won't be able to index it?
Thanks.

There are lots of "blogs" made with Flash actually.
We just did an author's site who has a blog...
http://www.latayne.com
It's in Flash.
In fact, we used to use Blogger to do the "backend" editing
of all the sites we did... so that sites like
http://www.nysbroadcasters.org
are done with Flash, and grabs the content from Blogger.
Using Blogger like that is actually a GOOD way to get Google
to index your sites in fact.
As for a forum like this... yes... that might be a bit more
difficult... though I promise I've seen one before.

No sound with Flash in Firefox - making me crazy

No sound plays from any flash objects in Firefox (so, that
includes sites with flash videos like youtube or other sites like
homestarrunner.com, etc). Here's what I've tried:
--I can play music from my hard drive (so it's not a problem
with my speakers or audio settings). Also, Flash works fine (video
AND audio) in IE.
--Disabled and then uninstalled all extensions (so it's not a
problem with an add-on)
--Uninstalled and then reinstalled FF
--Emptied all temp files, recycle bin, cleared cache, etc.
--Ran CCleaner and cleared cache of Flash
--Searched this forum for potential causes of the problem
("no audio" and "no sound")--looks like a lot of people have had
this problem, and there isn't a consensus regarding the cause or
the best solution.
--Note: I don't have Audacity installed, and the setting on
my sound card is set at 48000 Hz.
I'm using FF 2.0.0.4, Flash version 9.0.45.0 (the most recent
version), and Vista. The problem started suddenly about a week ago;
I can't think what could have triggered it. I wasn't downloading
crap, not surfing sketchy sites, I don't know.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't spend a lot of time on sites
like youtube, but it's the principle of it... it "should" work, and
it's making me crazy that I can't figure out why it's not working.
I would be really grateful if anyone could give me suggestions
about what else to try. Give it your best shot... it's a
brainteaser :-) I'm willing to try pretty much anything, save
reinstalling the OS.
Thanks so much!

I read somewhere that, in the registry, there should be "a
subkey named wavemapper which has a string value of msacm32.drv."
Yep, that's in place.
I've also started Firefox in safe mode, which disables all
add-ons, etc. Still no sound.
The more I read around, this seems to be a pretty common
problem, except none of the solutions seem to work for me! Any
input? Anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Errors on my web site started with Flash Player Release a few days ago (Mar 28, 2012)

Hi,
I have a Flash based video player on my website. This was designed and implemented based on an article vy Lisa Larson-Kelley. It has run flawlessly for several years. But, when I installed the lastest release of Flash Player a fedw days ago (Mar 28, 2012), I am now getting really annoying issues with the Flash Video Player.
I expect that I will need to place insturctions for users on how to roll back their version of Flash Player, since this latest version is broken.
But, many of the people who visit my site are not tech oriented (they are mostly friends and family, so, I don't expect that they will really roll back their version of Flash player.
I am 100% certain the issue is the latest version of Flash, since these errors never occurred until I installed the latest version.
On my work laptop, I have an older version of Flas (10.x.x) and this probelm does not happen. On my desktop PC at home, I have an older version of Flash 11 installed, and this problem does not happen (in IE9). The version of Flash PLayer 11 where the issue does *not* occur is 11.1.102.63.
On that same desktop PC, if I use Chrome, (which automatically defaults to the latest version of Flash which is 11.2.202.228, I get the problems. So, there is no question that the issue is with the latest version of Flash and not my hardware or drivers. I get the same problems on three different computers.
My website has a username and password. If someone from Adobe wants to replicate the problem send me an e-mail and I will send you the username and password.
The videoplayer on my website is at this url: http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingFlashVidPlayer/VideoPlaylist.html (but, you will need the username and password).
The issue is that sometimes (not always) when you select a video to play, inistead of the video loading into the panel as it should (sized as 1025 x 578), instead, all you see is the control skin. The video begins to play, but all you get is the audio. It looks like this:
You can recover from this error by using the skin control to make the image full screen, but, the video looks poor at fulls screen, because it is created at 1024 x 578. You can then get the correct size by returning from full screen, but, I don't want the pepole who visit my cif\deo playet to have to go all through that. Especially since most won't even know enough to try making the video full screen.
This doesn't happen for every video on my web site, but, once it *does* happen once...it will happen for every video selection you make.
This is unacceptable, and it absolutely a function of Flash version 11.2.202.228.
Adobe: Please fix this bug as soon as possible.
I've implemented an HTML5 based video player and have begun populating it with mp4 versions of my video clips, but, quite honestly, the playback using HTML5 is much worse than with Flash. I encoded the clips in the HTML5 player with the same Variable Bit Rates as in the F4V clips, and, in the HTML5 player, there are missed frames, and the audio can get out of sync. So, I *want* to keep using my Flash Based video player, but...if Adobe doesn;t fix this, I will just dial down my VBR till I find one that is slow enough to play in HTML5 and ditch Flash.
My HTML5 video player is here:
http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingNewVideoPlayer/NewVidPlayer_option1_jth.html
(again you need the username and password to use it, send me an e-mail and I will give them to you, I just don't want to post them in an open forum).
Here is a bitmap of the page: It is quite snazzy looking and is based on an excellent class from Chris Converse at Lynda.com. But, even though it is 'snazzy looking' the HTML5 player performs poorly on an under-powered machine (like my work laptop). It uses 100% CPU and misses frames and the audio loses sync. The same videos encoded with the same VBR for Flash (F4V) play great, *except for the new issue described above!!!!)
I Adobe can fix this issue with Flash Player 11.2.202.228 ASAP, else, I will have to 'downgrade' to an HTML5 based video player, that, quite honestly does not perform as well as Flash.
If you want to reproduce the problem contact me at my e-mail address: [email protected] and I'll send you the username and password.
You can then prove that the problem does not exist with prior version of Flash player (before 11.2.202.228) but *does* exist with this latest buggy release.
Thanks,
John

Thanks.
I sent the username and PW to you and Chris.
Cheers,
John

When streaming Vid with flash player, audio and video are not in sync

With Flash 11.6, audio and video are not in sync. Video is slower. Using Firefox 20.0.1

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

CS extension with Flash Pro

Hi everyone
Is it possible to make a CS extension with Flash professional instead of Flash Builder?

Short answer is no.
Extension Builder (based on Flash Builder) provids full support for extension development.
Besides, you can use CSSDK.

Problem tyring to communicate with flash

I have a hidden DHTML layer that contains a flash movie. I
have an href link that makes the layer visible. I want the href
link to also tell the flash movie to start playing.
I installed the extesion "JavaScript Integration Kit for
Macromedia Flash 8, MX 2004 and MX" which contains several
javascripts for communicating with flash. I am using the js
function "FDK_goToFrame()" to start the movie, however I can't get
it to work. My swf was built in Flash CS3, ActionsScript 2. Does
anyone know if the Integration Kit still works for new swf files?
Is there some AS code that needs to be added to the flash file for
these scripts to work? The documentation is rather sketchy.

Is there some extension you are using to accomplish this? If
not, then I'd suggest that you ask your question in the Dreamweaver
General forum where you may get someone that has run into this
issue:

Issues with Flash Pro CS5 on Mac

Hi,
I recently bought a MacBookPro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and CS5 Creative Suite. Built in Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
Hi have some issues with Flash Pro:
- when objects on the stage are quite big (for example a 800x3000 movie clip), it start showing strange colors and wrong position, however when double clicking the movie clip to edit it, it looks correct. Also no problem when publishing. See images attached, the first one is correct, the second one shows the problem, when editing the mc in the 2nd image i get the third image that is correct.
Correct:
Wrong:
After entering editing mode:
- after a while, when making a change in the stage or in the time line (deleting frames for example), it doesn't show it immediately, but i need to refresh the page. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
- after a while it doesn't show when selecting an object, the object looks like is not selected, however i can see that it is in the properties panel. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
Hi have been using CS3 and CS4 with less powerful computers before (always mac) and i never encountered these issues.
Removing preferences and Application support files didn't help. I also updated Flash to v. 11.0.1, but no joy.
Does anyone know what's the problem?
Thanks a lot.
Mike

Based on some searching and testing, it seems that if you redirect ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5 to a location on the local hard drive, rather than the network account storage, the problem ceases.
I hope this helps anyone else who may run into this problem.
Take care,
Branden

Problem with Flash Menu in iWeb...need help please.

Ok, I designed a flash menu in iWeb and successfully placed it at the top of the site. I then used the "transparent shape" method to make the hyperlinks work properly. I made sure the flash menu was in the back and the transparent shape hyperlinks were in the front. The menu works just fine for me and anyone else using Safari or Mac computers. However, people on Windows using Firefox, IE or Chrome are unsuccessful in clicking the links. They do not work for them.
Here's my website's homepage link. Keep in mind, if you look there on Safari, it will work but it does not when on a Windows computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.
http://www.platinumsportspicks.com/Index/Home/Home.html
It is clearly the problem that the flash menu is opening in front of the hyperlinked shapes but I'm not sure how to make sure they stay on front.

I don't know the answer to that one but you can use the Mouse Over and Click method I have described on this page....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/MouseOver.html
It works in IE.
Its just a question of making up two different buttons with text for each link, taking a screenshot and cropping them and adding the JPEGs to your upload folder.
You can make up the buttons on an iWeb page and then delete them when you have taken the screenshots. I usually do this sort of thing in Keynote so that I can save them in case I need to modify them.

Problem with Flash in Chrome

Recently my Flash has been acting generally weird. I cannot view certain flash videos, although youtube works, and Flash is not allowing me to set websites store data, making it impossible to use many flash-dependent websites. When I attempt to fix this with the Flash global settings manager, it simply does not save my choices, and does not even let me click the "Allow third party Flash content to store data on your computer", which is what I need to fix it. Also, even if I make sure I am signed in, every time I navigate to the Global Settings Security page, it seems to log me out. Any help with allowing Flash to save my settings, or why videos aren't working in Chrome?

Try the following
close all browser windows and open Windows Explorer
in the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
in the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
Now try again to change any Flash Player settings.

Problem with Flash in Firefox for MAC

Hello,
I have a little trouble with flash in firefox ...
In fact, when I go on websites via firefox and it is the flash ... animation or flash application in meeting the latency to the point that even the youtube player lag when I also want to press the pause button (to pause the video) ...
Major latency problem also when I play games in flash ...
I tested the same sites in Safari and then everything is nikel I do not understand ...
I deleted the files "Player.plugin Flash" and "flashplayer.xpt" in the library of mac and reinstalling flash but it has not helped!
Configuration: Mac OS X
Firefox 3.5.3
Désolé si mon anglais n'est pas parfait, je l'ai traduit avec google ...

FRENCH VERSION :
Bonjour,
J'ai un petit soucis avec flash sous firefox...
En effet, quand je vais sur des sites via firefox et qu'il y a du flash... l'animation ou application sous flash rencontre des latences à tel point que même le player youtube lag également quand je souhaite appuyer sur le bouton pause (pour mettre en pause la vidéo)...
Gros problème de latence également quand je joue à des jeux sous flash... style "le 4ème duel"
j'ai tester les mêmes sites sous SAFARI et là tout est nikel je ne comprends pas ...
j'ai supprimé les fichiers "Flash Player.plugin" et "flashplayer.xpt" dans la bibliothèque de mac et réinstaller flash mais cela n'a rien arrangé !!!

That is a Microsoft Word issue, so you will get the best results asking over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums on Microsoft's web site. Many people here don't use MS Word, while everyone there does.

Firefox is constantly freezing up, and I can't get it going again until I close pluginscontainer.exe which, when freezing, is quite large (sometimes even as big as 300MB). What is causing this? It seems to happen on pages with Flash.

I have already tried reinstalling Firefox, using both the BETA and Stable releases. I've cleared all of my plugins and started over with them, reinstalling Flash multiple times as well. After an uninstallation, I even went as far as deleting Mozilla from my Appdata folder on my user account and from Program Files to assure complete uninstallation.
This crash happens multiple times in a day, I can't go 20 minutes of browsing without this happening.
Also, there are multiple instances of plugin-container.exe running (right now, 5).
Thank you so much for your help, this issue has been driving me up the wall and I just could not get it to stop.

There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
*Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
* Is the problem reproducible ? <br/> for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
* see [[plugin crash reports]]
* [[what is plugin-container]]
* [[firefox crashes]]
There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

Camera just up and stopped working with flash player. SUUUUPER annoying. Any ideas?

Hi:
Windows XP SP3 32bit, latest updates applied
Firefox 3.6.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E))
IE 8.0.6001.18702
Flash Player 10,1,53,64
HP EliteBook 8530w with built-in HP camera (brand spankin' new).
So Flash Player today decided it doesn't want to work with my webcam. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out what the problem is. The camera works fine with other video camera software, such as Adobe Flash Live Encoder 3.1, for example, or the various Microsoft cam tools. But Flash Player just won't see it. When I visit a website that uses the camera through flash, all I get is a black box. I never get the privacy screen that asks me if I would like to allow the site temporary access to my camera.If i go into my settings, and go to the camera tab, it shows my camera device in the dropdown box. But you know how if you double-click the little box under the dropdown, it should activate your camera and display a little video inside that box? That doesn't work for me. All I get is this:
It doesn't matter if I use FF or IE. I've re-installed Flash Player, both the FF version and the Ax version. To no avail. I've logged into my computer as a different user, because hell maybe it's some weird dumb thing in the Flash Player cache or something. Nope.
Now here's the super, super, super annoying part: I just recently moved to this laptop and one of the things I was looking forward to was a computer where my webcam would FINALLY work with flash player again. Yes, that's right: my old computer had this exact same problem. And in both cases, at one point the camera worked with Flash player no problem, and then at some point, it just stopped working.
This makes me think, of course, that the problem is some nefarious piece of software I've installed, but I can't think of what that is. I know the camera was working with my new computer as early as last week. Recently I've installed a bunch of software, including Adobe Media Live Encoder 3.1, Flash Professional CS5, and the Adobe Connect add-in. I've uninstalled everything except CS5, because, hey, who wants to re-install that if they don't have to? I'll do that as a last result, but the guy sitting next to me has the entire CS5 suite installed and camera works fine for him with Flash Player (same exact hardware too), so I don't think it's that. Other than that, I dunno. I've got VS2008 and 2010 installed. GoToMeeting. Office. That's about it.
So. Any ideas? Any thoughts on how I could even start to debug the issue? Logging or something? Any help is much appreciated.

Yes.
Victory is mine.
VICTORY IS MINE!!!
Solution:
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
Set
AVHardwareDisable=1
to:
AVHardwareDisable=0
Restart your browser. Done. Camera works now.
I really want to shout this solution from the rooftops, because try Googling the solution sometime. I did. I failed. You will too. Hopefully if I use some more 18-point bold font, Google will index it faster, because that's the way it works right?
I actually had no idea that Flash Player has a folder in Windows\system32 at all, and I definitely had no idea that this file existed. I am guessing some stinking app I installed decided I needed AVHardwareDisable set to 1 for some reason (effers). I found out about the location by just lazily searching through the windows registry for "Flash Player" and eventually saw it pointing to that directory. A little more poking around and I found this file.
Those of you who actively support this forum: please keep this in the back of your mind, next time someone has audio/video input problems with Flash Player. I've found an awful lot of forum posts from people with cameras not working, and I bet a good portion of them need this fix. Reinstalling Flash Player will not fix it. Here's hoping the solution comes up in Google for the next unlucky soul.

Is there a way to create a pop-out forum or blog without redirecting pages?

I already have a website developed with a lot of content on the mainpage. Now I want to create a forum or blog for it for people to ask questions and what not, but I do not want it to redirect them to another page. I don't have a lot of room to work with so I was curious if there could be a sort of pop-out or small side window that can be created that remains part of the original mainpage. Does that make sense?

You could use a modal window like Fancybox with content inside an iframe.
