PDF opening in a macromedia flash application

Hello,
Im not a mac user, but we use mac in our company.
Im a webdesigner, working on windows XP, using macromedia flash (in this case Flash MX).
My problem is, we build applications on dvd and cd's and we are trying to make them usable on macOS, besides Linux and windows.
Things were working fine, till MacOS 10...
The problem is, that in some applications we use pdf files that are on the cd's or dvd's, that are not opening anymore in those OS version's 10..., we use a command in flash (actionScript) that is: getURL (....path.pdf).
It worked really good in the ealier OS's from Mac, now when we click on the link, it open Safari, with the default page it uses.
Anyone has any idea about why it happens?
Im sorry my english, not my native language, and thank you very much in advance for your time.
Hugo

Hello again,
I've tried install FireFox on the Mac, and PDF Browser viewer plugin, and selected FireFox to open by default the pdf's files, it happen's the same, it opens FireFox with his default page, no pdf from the cd...
Im affraid that the cd's and DVD's with Flash applications with Pdf's files will not be able to open on Mac's with OS 10....
The application works really good on Linux and Windows platforms.
Thanks

  • Link to Flash application from PDF not working on a Mac

    I'm creating a PDF using Acrobat.  I have 2 links that should open up a separate Flash application.  When I try clicking on them in Adobe Reader on a Mac, I get an error message saying "could not find an application to open the file 'xxxxx'.  I can navigate to the file directly in a finder window, and the Flash application opens up just fine.  I also created a PC version of this same PDF that points to Flash executables, and those links work fine as well.  Any ideas any one?  Thanks in advance!

    Under the "Library Log" where is says Flash Player Intall Manager: Unable to execute privilage task.
    What does that mean?

  • Flash Application for Mac won't open from DVD disc

    I've created a Flash application for a Mac and I have the latest security fix/update for Flash (that was supposed to fix Flash Players and etc.). I've burned the file onto a CD and a DVD. The file plays/opens from the CD but it won't play from the DVD.
    Has anyone run into this before?

    Well I found some sort of solution. I was burning both discs from a PC. I finally burned the DVD from a Mac and now it works!

  • How to view adobe flash? how to save pdf opened in safari?

    I am new user on vista.
    Safari is cool. got addicted but have toughtime getting used to it.
    1. Flash files won't run. Adobe do not have flash plugin for safari
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/8869854@N04/545930914/ for reference
    2. PDFs open in Safari with no option to save the downloaded files
    I am sure mac pros would have found a way. Let me know
    Dell Inspiron 6400   Windows Vista   Ultimate Edition

    1. Flash plugin can be downloaded from apple at <http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html>
    2. There's also a Acrobat Reader plugin at the page mentioned above. With this, a 'Save a copy' button is displayed in the acrobat toolbar. On osx with builtin pdfviewer, a right-click on the pdf will show a menu with the option to save it.
    Don't forget to restart after installing the plugins

  • When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

    When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

    The system was not my own, it was on a PC belonging to the school where I teach. The error message referred to Acrobat 9.0, so I assume that the problem is to do with the version on which the file was created being more recent than that on which I attempeted to open it.

  • Macromedia Flash Professional 8 won't Open

    Hi,
    A few weeks ago I had no problems using Macromedia Flash
    Professional 8. However, recently I moved and when I got to my new
    place, Flash Professional 8 would not open. When I try to open it,
    the splash screen appears and when the loading messages get to
    "Initializing Fonts", the standard Windows crash window appears.
    The one that says "Flash 8 has encountered a problem and needs to
    close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please tell Microsoft
    about this problem ..."
    I thought that maybe I have some corrupt fonts, but all of
    the fonts seem to be okay. Maybe I'm not testing them correctly.
    Also, for some reason, iTunes no longer works either.
    I have tried reinstalling both programs and the error box
    still appears. Honestly, I have no idea what to do for here. Any
    suggestions, at all, are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks for the help!

    sounds like a corrupt font - have you done any

  • What action dom i take for this error message "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences"?

    I get this message when I try to download a pdf file from a website.
    "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."
    This is a new error. There used to be no problem.

    Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?
    You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

  • 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).
