Need help with flash player / slider bar navigation
Hello, I am having a flash player developed right now for a
intensive video site.
I have a few questions since I'm new to flash.
I would like the users to be able to jump forward in the
video at any point. However, the player my developer gave me cannot
do this. He is telling me that I will need FMS (Flash Media Server)
software on my server in order to do this.
Is this correct? Can we get this option without FMS?
Also, is this a big change in scope to add this in. Our flash
player is already done but does not have this very important
feature.
Thanks in advance.
There are two methods to having this work.
1. Use the FMS as your developer already stated.
2. Keyframe the heck out of the FLV. This works because the
typical player skin allows you to skip around to a keyframe. The
more keyframes you have, the more places you can skip around to.
The downside is that each keyframe you add to the video adds file
size. You may also need to set the totalTime parameter of the video
on load.
:: EDIT ::
You ask about implementation and scope changes in your
question. The first is a very big scope change, and very costly to
implement. The second, if the player that was developed uses the
standard classes for the player scrub bar, would likely only
require a re-encode of every video.

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!
Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability -

Need help with flash player update
I previously updated to adobe reader X. Later I got a popup saying that an updated version of adobe flash player was available, which I downloaded. I am running windows 7 home premium (64 bit). After updating the flash player I keep getting a pop up that says there was an error in the down load and that I need the 64 bit version. Today I up dated to Adobe reader X version 10.1.3. What do I need to do to make the flash player correct? Adobe reader and PDF files are all working fine.
You need to post in one of the sub-forums (Installing, Using), but I will move this post over.

I need help with Flash Player, "movie not loaded".
Sometimes movie loads, sometimes not. Sometimes loads upon refresh, somtimes not. I cannot figure out how to get Flash to load reliably. This happens frequently while surfing the internet with IE10 on Windows 7 64bit sp. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Firewall. I prefer to set pop-up blocking on high but have lowered it to medium to no avail. I have uninstalled Flash using the step by step instructions on Adobe site and reinstalled version 12.0.0.77 twice. I have unstalled and reinstalled IE 10. Clearing the catch does not help. Clicking in and out of compatability setting also does not get flash to load. I have run out of ideas. Is there some setting I am missing. Flash is on so many sites and its so unreliable it is frustrating.
Sorry, I thought I had mentioned everything. Active x filtering is off and Shockwave flash object is enabled. I have cleared the IE catch and the Flash Player catch.
I should also point out that it is not that some videos play and others do not, The same video will work sometimes and sometimes not. I go back to check and sometimes the video loads and then it doesn't again. I wondered if it had to do with different advertisers before the link played or something like that. Something is randomly happening it seems. -
I have been having problems with this for months and still no help. PLEASE HELP.
I am using Windows Vista and firefox is my Browser. When I go to download it instead of Run File it only gives me a option to Save or Cancel File. When I load flash objects, it gives me a greyed out box that says Movie Not Loaded and Adobe Flash Player. If you have had any help with this please don't hesitate to help. I am trying all suggestions until I get this fixed.
Thanks in AdvanceI am having the exact same issue! I have tried everything,

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."

Help with Flash Player 10 download?? Nothing is working??
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me, because I'm going crazy about this. So I'm trying to download flash player 10. It says I have successfully downloaded it, but I get no animation, and on youtube it tells me I need the latest flash player.
I am running IE 8, my OS is Windows XP with service pack 2.
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I tried suggestions I have read on here, and I don't know how to start IE in safe mode. I copied the instructions about start, run, iexplore -extoff, and that didn't work. When I did that, I got the bar at the top of the screen, saying I needed to manage my add ons, and it never gave me an option to allow it to install.
I have tried going through control panel, to uninstall all of my adobe products (reader, flash player, shockwave), and then reinstall them, and that doesn't work.
If someone could please help me, I would really appreciate it!! To recap, I get the message saying I have version 10, 22, and something else, I can't remember the whole thing, but no animation video. It says it's successful, but there's no video to prove it. Websites tell me I don't have it. I'm not trying to sound really stupid or anything, I just don't know how to get it, and I really would like to!!
Please, please, someone help!! I'm desperate!! Thank you so much!!Aaaahh. Please can someone help. My son has a laptop with Windows XP and he needs Adobe Flash to play some game off a web site. I have fiddled with this for the last 2 hours and during that time have installed XP SP3 and various updates. Downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 8 and updated again and downloaded and run the Flash unexplorer and run it.
Everytime I now go to the http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and click on the yellow download bar, the address add /trigger/2/ to the previous and a screen comes up with an area where an animation is supposed to eventually appear but never does. All I get is a red cross in the top left corner. NOTHING else happens!!! Please help.
I must say that none of the downloads listed above (except Microsoft updates) downloaded on this pc either. I had to download them on my MAC (thank god for MAC's) and then copy and run them from a memory stick. Unfortunately I can't do the same for the Flash player as it won't just download. Is this significant?
I've also tried running Explorer form the RUN command as described - same thing
Can anyone help please?
Thanks. -
Help with Flash Player- Not Playing
I recently went to a website where it said that i needed to
download the latest version of Flash Player. I followed the
directions and installed it, and the movie came up after
installation, but on the website it still said i needed to install
flash player again. I went through the other forum posts and tried
everything, but it still wouldn't show up. Then today i was on the
website and finally the video came up, but then when i refreshed
the page the video was gone and it again said i needed to install
the latest version of Flash Player. The video has shown up twice in
the past day, then says i need to reinstall again. I've tried
everything, but the videos just wont show up. Does anyone know how
to fix this for good?JDB... your problems and solutions are different (and much
more complex). Read this CAREFULLY.
Printable, lovingly formatted versions of these steps, valid
as of 9/15/2007 are available. I recommend printing them and
following along with the print version:
.doc:
http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.doc
.pdf:
http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.pdf
The issue is this: You have multiple accounts on your XP
machine. One account plays Flash no problem, the other doesn't,
although both are Administrator accounts. Or possibly you have only
one account, and that account fails to play any Flash content. In
any case if you have ANY odd trouble with the Flash Player ActiveX
control for Windows as of September 2007, these should be your
steps. And yes, you need to do both sets of steps, in order!
The cause: This is usually caused by either or BOTH of the
following problems:
1. Leftover locked bits of an old Flash Player installation
2. Registry permission errors (aka 'ACL's)
OK so what do you do about this?
ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player bits
a. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
b. Download the latest FP uninstaller from
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157.
c. Run the uninstaller. If you get a notice saying you need
to reboot, then reboot.
d. Look at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
e. Does any file ending in .ocx remain? (flash.ocx,
flasha.ocs, flash9d.ocx etc...)
e1. If no, then you don't usually have any leftover locked
bits.
You're done with this part of the problem, proceed to TWO.
e2. If yes, then that remaining .ocx file may be locked.
Right click it
and select properties and look at the version tab.
What is the version number?
f. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.16.0 or earlier?
f1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
-- section "Flash Player 9.0.16.0 and earlier"
-- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
UninstFl.exe part.
Yes, you'll need to know how to use the command line to do
this. If you're not
comfortable with that then take your machine to someone who
is!
g. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.28.0 or higher?
g1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
-- section "Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later"
-- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
UninstFl.exe part.
In both the D and E sections above you'll need to use the
specific name of the control that remains
in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. So if you had a
stuck flash9b.ocx[DJM1] in the folder
and version was 9.0.28.0, your uninstall command would look
like this:
UninstFl.exe -u
c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
That said, if you have trouble running these commands it
really is necessary to find someone who knows how
to use the command line, either a friend or a local
professional. Or spend some time learning about the
command line yourself.
h. RERUN the uninstaller you downloaded earlier. This should
get rid of the remaining (now unlocked) .ocx file and fix any
registry keys associated with it.
ALL of section "ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player
bits" is important. BUT this locked bit problem only happens on
maybe one out of 50 machines. So most people with installation
problems such as this are not going to have locked bits.
AND even after reinstalling you may still have continued
problems with Flash Player not being recognized.
Then we have to move on to section two..
TWO: Registry Permission Problems
We have been working on Flash Player failures caused by
Windows System Registry issues. We have not been able to determine
what’s causing these permissions to change. But that change
prevents the successful installation of Flash Player ActiveX
control (used by IE Windows).
Registry permission problems can be resolved using a tool
called SubInACL, built by Microsoft to correct system registry
issues.
Symptoms: What to look for:
1. If you install Flash Player on IE and are unable to see
Flash content on any webpage
2. After installation C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
will have flash 9c.ocx in it but it failed to register
3. It appears that Flash Player installed correctly, but
unable to view Flash content
4. Flash Player works on other browsers, but NOT Internet
Explorer
5. If you are missing groups in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Advanced
Permissions
6. If you have run registry cleaners in the past, this may
have corrupted your system
Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding. Adobe
Systems cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from this
information.
1. Select Start > Run
2. Type in “regedit”
3. Right click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
4. Select Permissions
5. Select Advanced
For Vista
Compare your permissions with the ones in this screenshot.
http://www.supportflash.com/vista_key.png
For Window XP Pro or other flavors of XP
Compare your permissions with the ones in this document
“Troubleshooting system registry issues that prevent Flash
Player installation” (scroll down to the bottom of page).
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=kb400116
Notice any major differences, missing groups, incorrect
permissions?
How can you repair the System Registry, what's the fix
Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission issues
that prevent the Flash Player Installation.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb
NOTE: The Microsoft version of the .cmd script run by
SubInACL is not be run on any XP version other than Pro. HOWEVER,
the Adobe .cmd script in the above technote is tested safe for ALL
VERSIONS OF XP!!!
If you have a Windows System Registry permission issue that
sounds like the one described above, SubINACL may be the solution.
Please note that if you have this issue on multiple accounts on one
machine you’ll need to fix each machine individually. -

I have confirmed his complaint. stopAllSounds works correctly
across multiple swfs on an html page using Flash player 8 but not
with Flash Player 9.
Incidentally, there is another big "improvement" (they say)
that prevents you from uninstalling the Flash 9 player without
running
their uninstaller exe. Unfortunately, their uninstaller
uninstalls all flash player versions (not just version 9) from ALL
browsers
so if just want to remove player 9 from IE you are forced to
also uninstall it from FireFox etc as well. Great, huh?
