Problems viewing embedded flash videos

About 2 weeks ago I had the error message while on Youtube that I needed to update my flash software. I did so and since then I can't see any videos that are embedded on websites. I can see them if I click on the direct link only and it pops up the youtube page, otherwise all I can see is an icon. Is there a way to go back to my older version of flash? I just checked IE manage add ons and it says that I have 9.0.28.0 still enabled, but when I go to the Adobe page that detects what version I am using it says I have the latest version 10.something. I am running I.E. 8 (which I dislike) is it possible to go back to I.E. 7 and avoid all this mess? If so how? I haven't run the latest Windows updates, btw. I do have Google Toolbar which I love. Please don't tell me to get rid of it because it was a pain finding it and installing it after I updated to I.E.8 and it threw it out.
Any help would be appreciated as I need to be able to view embedded videos.

Hi SF, I think at this point you will need to Uninstall and Install the new version of FP 10.0.42.34. The Shockwave Flash
Object Flash10c.ocx did not get installed in manage add ons, even tho you installed FP 10.0.32.18.
Here is the link for the Uninstaller that you will after you click on the "Windows version" SAVE to your desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Here is the link for the Installer that you will run immediately after Uninstalling:http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
This will NOT be saved to your desktop.
(I had an internet outage this morning or I would have posted this sooner)
Follow the instructions completely for the Uninstall and be sure to Reboot TWICE to clear out all old versions. After the Install, Reboot Once.
After you are finished go here to test: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Then test your websites to see if everything is working as it should and post back.
Thanks

Why can't I view embedded flash videos on my MacBook Pro?

I can view videos on Youtube and embedded videos on some sites, but when I try to view embedded Flash videos on sites like CNN.com and NBA.com, I just get a black rectangle and nothing loads. I've tried this on all browsers. BTW, I also cannot open up tinted ads that come up in Google searches. I have the latest version of Flash, and I've deleted browsing data and settings and have checked "Allow sites to save info." I've disabled pop-up window blocker. I have no ad blocking software. I've installed the latest Flip4Mac plugin. I have even set up a new user account and tried these sites with that account to see if the problem goes away (it didn't).
I have a 12 inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro with OS 10.8.3 installed (though the problem started when I still had Snow Leopard). I have all the latest browsers and , as I've said above, the latest Flash. I've tried both Java 7 and Java 6. I should also point out that I can access these sites without problem with my office Macbook Pro, which is a 15 inch Core 5, loaded with the same software I have on my problem 12 inch notebook.
Any suggestions?

You have JavaScript enabled in all the browsers, yes? Have you tried launch the browsers in Safe Mode?

Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
Some other things to try are in this thread.

Embedded Flash videos play on 32 bit Win7, not on 64 bit Win7, IE9 32 bit

Hello,
I have two PCs. One is running 32 bit Win7 SP1, the other 64 bit Win 7 SP1. Both have IE9 32 bit and the latest version of Flash 32 bit, 10.3.183.7. This page http://www.iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,999739 and others at iorr.org have embedded YouTube Flash videos. On the 32 bit machine, they play fine on both Admin and Standard accounts. On the 64 bit machine, the embedded videos are only visible on the Admin account. Standard accounts show an empty box with a broken icon symbol where the video should be. (Note: not trying to use IE9 64 bit.)
I've spent a couple hours uninstalling and reinstalling Flash trying to see the videos on a Standard account on the 64 bit PC. Nothing works. Any suggestions? Note that normal Flash videos work fine on the 64 bit PC Standard accounts. Only embedded videos fail.
During this exercise, I noticed that the 32 bit PC has the Flash Player Control Panel under Control Panel->System and Security. The 64 bit PC does not have it there, but I can manually bring it up from a CPL file in the SysWOW64 folder. Not sure if that's part of the problem or a different problem.
Thanks for your time.

I spent hours and hours on the same problem. My computer has a slightly different configuration. I am using Win7 32 bit, but experienced the same problems. Embedded Flash is working under Admin account, but not under other accounts. Many de-installs and re-installs, but nothing seemed to help. Until I found this internet post:
http://superuser.com/questions/244316/embedded-video-is-not-shown-in-internet-explorer-9-r c-or-beta
The solution offered in that post solved all my problems. Hurray!!!
Solution:
* Open REGEDIT
* Find the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash
* Delete the key
* Re-install flash
* Problem solved (in my case)
In the replies of the above mentioned link another solution was given (in stead of deleting the key)
* Right click the above mentioned key
* Change the access rights and allow all users read access to the key (did not check this myself)
In order to keep the solution safe in this thread, please find a copy of the info in the link above here:
In IE 9 RC or in beta, the embedded video is not shown in the web page. I verified the security settings in "internet options". Did not find any issue. Please find the screen shot below. I am able to view the flash videos in Youtube. But, for some reason, in some sites the embedded video is not shown.
I don't have this issue with Firefox.
UPDATE:
I am able to see view the embedded video in Admin account. But not able to view it in Standard account.
UPDATE:
As it works as administrator, use Process Monitor and filter the Status on ACCESS DENIED.
This allows you to troubleshoot what key the iexplore.exe process can't access.
@TomWij, Thanks for the suggestions. The Process Monitor hint helped to nail down the issue. When run with standard privileges, it is getting "ACCESS DENIED" for reading the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash.
When I elevated the privilege to Admin account, it did not have any issue. Then I uninstalled flash, deleted the registry key and then installed flash again. Now, I am able to view the embedded video in standard account.

Embedded Flash videos don't work

Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
'''https://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround'''
* disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Jittery playback in embedded flash videos

Embedded flash videos sometimes, though not always, play with a very jittery or juddery,( it's difficult to explain!), appearance. For example live streams in the ~BBC new website and sometimes in YouTube. in Youtube reducing the picture size seems to help eg from 480p to 360p. This option is not available on the BBC website but unticking the 'enable hardware acceleration' Tickbox in the Flash preferences works. This is the preference panel you get when you right click on a video when it's playing. I am running OS X 10.7.1 and flash player 10.3.183.5. The same thing happens in Safari 5.1, Firefox 6.0 and Chrome 13.0.782.215.
Any explanation or common experience?

HI,
Adobe advises repairing permissions when having problems with embedded video. Give it a try.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

HT3775 I am running OS X Lion/Quick Time. Is there a way for me to view a Flash Video?

I am running OS X Mountain Lion/Quick Time. Is there any way for me to view a Flash Video?

http://perian.org has a free plug-in to expand QuickTime supported formats to include flash video (.flv).
You can also install the free Flash Player from Adobe.com.

My embedded Flash video disappears when I relaunch MS Word

I embedded a Flash video with a youtube URL into MS Word 2010 using the "more controls" button on the "developer" tab. It worked perfect, exactly how I wanted it to, UNTIL . . . I saved and closed the document. When I reopened the document, the embedded video was still there, but only as an invisible object. I couldn't see it, let alone play it.
I have replicated this in various editions of MS Word, on several computers, each time varying things like the location of the video (my hard disk instead of a URL), etc. I also tried saving the document as "macro-enabled." In every single case, the video works great when initially embedded, but once the file has been closed and then reopened, the video is still there but no longer visible, and therefore useless.
Any ideas how I can make my embedded Flash video remain visible in my Word document, even after closing and reopening the document?
Thank you!

I suspect the best place for the question is over on the Microsoft Word forums, as you'll most like find a wider audience there that uses Word as HTML generation tool.

But the original question said best and free, Flash maybe free but is hardly best.

I have started having problems viewing embedded videos in Safari.

Everything was fine on my iPad 3 until a few weeks ago when the embedded YouTube videos in the forum I visit (using Safari) stopped playing. I get the message...
Your browser does not currently recognise any of the video formats available.
Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML 5 video.
...the thing is though that the videos will play if I open a new tab and go directly to YouTube (I don't use the app) and they will play if use the Atomic Web app to browse the interent.
I just want my Safari back to how it was, oh one more thing the videos play fine if I browse the same forum using Safari on my iPhone 4S.
Any real help will be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I am using OS X Mountain Lion. I really dont want to have to reinstall anything. An OS Reinstall is really no less annoying than a Reinstall of the CS6 package. Sadly it looks like this may be the only way forward. Just hope I can do it without losing too much from the machine as it is my work machine.
Thanks for your help and for the link. I just wish Adobe was more directly contactable about issues that come up when using their products.

Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 is not displaying embedded flash video contents on Facebook and some other sites

When I want to watch Flash videos embedded into Facebook pages videos are not displayed as they should be. Where the video should be seen there is only blank white space. Audio is running normally though. If I click FULL SCREEN video mode Flash video
is displayed normally. Only in small screen modes Flash videos are not displayed properly.
I have tried playing same videos using Google Chrome which is also using Flash ActiveX and everything is working fine there. Firefox which is using Flash Plugin also works fine. Only IE11 is not working as it should.
I have already reinstalled Flash Player and disabled all IE11 addons but problem is still there. I would say this is not Adobe Flash Player problem as in Chrome everything works fine.
Both the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player and updated IE11 are installed on my computer.
Can you, please, tell me what should I do to fix this problem.
A screenshot of embedded video:

If I click FULL SCREEN video mode Flash video is displayed normally. Only in small screen modes Flash videos are not displayed properly.
I would say this is not Adobe Flash Player problem as in Chrome everything works fine.
Comparing with Chrome may not be relevant but it sounds like something about the screen size is making the Flash program act differently in the two environments. Supposedly there is a debug version of Flash but I don't know if there is a debug version
for the Flash that is embedded in W8.
Is there a publicly accessible repro page someone could use to compare their symptoms with yours?

Full screen problem, with embedded flash player in a flash player

Hi,
I am having an issue with the flash video player embedded within a flash player movie. The issue is that when my main flash is in Full Screen mode and I try to open that screen where embedded movie player is, when it is opened the inner movie player covers the complete screen, on the other hands it should show that embedded player in normal condition with other background stuffs.
Can anyone guide me what step should I take to avoid this or if it is possible to do this kind of scenario in Full Screen mode or not?
Looking forward to your prompt help.
Best regards,
Irfan

Remove Black Border Around Embedded Flash Video

Hi-
I have searched on the Web without luck, so again I have to
turn tot he forum for help. I believe this should be simple and
straightforward, but doesn't appear so. I have a simple little
Flash video embedded in a plain old web page created with DW8. When
the page is displayed in my web browser it has a thin black border
around the video. I would like to remove this border (such as one
might with image border=0). I have tried several "fixes" ranging
from setting the BODY margin height to 0 to altering my external
style sheet. None of these worked. I even created a fresh web page
with no external style sheet at all and the border is still there.
How on earth do I get rid of that ugly thing? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
-=SB

can we see this border? URL?

Embeding Flash Video on other websites

I would like to be able to share some of our website videos
with other
websites.
The idea is the same as Google Videos which allows a user to
cut a snippet
of code and paste that into their own webpage. The result is
a Flash video
'playing' on the end users website but really streaming from
Google Video.
Here is an example of the code offered by Google Videos
<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;"
id="VideoPlayback" align="middle"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="
http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=6960295146523698319"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" quality="best"
bgcolor="#ffffff"
scale="noScale" wmode="window" salign="TL"
FlashVars="playerMode=embedded">
</embed>
I'm no Flash expert, but is this one Flash file
(googleplayer.swf) calling
the database record ID for the .flv file?
Thanks!!!

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
or
Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.

Embedding Flash Video manually

I'd like to bypass the pre-set player and skins one uses with
"insert flash video."
If I create my own player in Flash, and publish, how many
files will I end up with? Is it one Flv file and one swf file for
the player? Or is it 3 files? one "generic" swf(the one names the
same as the fla document) , one swf for the player and one flv?
And if so, how do I embed it into my page? Do I simply
"insert flash" with the "generic" swf file, and then place the
other two in the same directory?
The reason I'm asking is this: in Flash 8, as a test, I
imported my flv, chose a skin and then published. I ended up with 4
files: 2 swf (one for the player and one "generic" + the flv file +
1 html file that i don't understand at all.
I then "inserted flash" in DW (choosing the "generic" swf). I
placed the flv + the skin file into the directory.
When previewing locally I see the flv but without the skin.
When viewing live, it takes a little time for the video to
appear, and then still no skin and lots of stuttering.
So, to sum up: what is the best way to embed flv without
using the "insert flash video" presets in DW?
Thanks.

Use Code view. Copy the code from the Flash Generated HTML
page between the
<object id.... </object> tags and paste into your DW
page where you want
the video to appear.
Upload all required files (swf, flv, images for player skin)
into a folder
or path where your DW page will be located.

Embedding Flash Video - Help needed!

I'm fairly new to Flash and trying to embed a video to my
website. When I import my video and test the movie, it works
perfectly, showing the controls at the bottom and everything. When
I add it to Dreamweaver and test the page, it only shows the video
(sans media controls) and automatically plays when the page is
loaded. What am I doing wrong??
I'd like to upload the flash video w/media controls beneath
it, to dreamweaver and it remain paused until the viewer hits the
play button.
Can anyone help?

Dreamweaver does not reflect full functionality, you need to
upload your stuff to
server or test in browser. Best way to make sure things
works.
If your HTML refer to the SWF in some directory, make sure
you have correct paths
to the player skin (the video controls).
