Prompting users to download a plug-in??

Hello people. I need to prompt users not using v1.4.1 to download the plugin for it when my applet is called from my web page. I have no idea how to do it, I guess it needs some coding within the applet tag of the web page?
Any pointers most welocme.

Prompt users to download air sdk from a location other than Android Market

Hi,
I am developing a android app using adobe air sdk for a device that DOESN'T have Android Market.
Is there a way for my app to prompt a user to download the air sdk from a location other than Android Market?
Thanks,
Kai

Well your in luck,
If the app is going to be pre-installed, then you can pre-install the AIR Runtime with the app.
First download the AIR 2.5 SDK or go to where your AIR SDK is located on your machine.
go to the following directory within the SDK folder....
"\runtimes\air\android\device\"
"Runtime.apk" will be the name of the file. install that on the device and your done.
They dont need to be prompted because they will have it pre-installed.
This will allow them to start the app, then if there are any updates to the Runtime.apk, you can prompt them within the app to download with instructions.

Air app for android NOT prompting user to download runtime

My app tested fine on a DROID ii but when I had a friend download the app on his DROID x the app showed an error when run. It did not prompt the user to download the runtime. Once we did download the runtime, the app worked fine.
I went through much agony renaming my package name to remove the "air." prefix for reasons that are not important here. Could this cause a phone not to recognize that the air runtime is needed? I cannot find any documents that say that the prefix does more than help adobe keep track of air apps.
Here is my app in case it helps:

Thanks.

Have you heard of the expression, "Tampering with this product will void the warranty"? :-)
There's no guarantee that the process you went through to remove the air. prefix didn't break the part of the app that automatically triggers the AIR runtime request. You're basically doing things that aren't supported, so I doubt you'd find an answer to that question from Adobe.
Personally, I would look at using the captive runtime feature of AIR 3.1+ and then you won't have to worry about the user needing to download the runtime separately. If it's really that important for you to remove the air. prefix, captive runtime should fix this problem.

Prompt Users to Download and Install Air

I don't know if this is possible, but is there a way to
package Adobe Air with your application installer, so users that
don't have Adobe Air installed, that it will prompt them to install
adobe air, and then following this it will install the application.
I would like to distribute, but I don't want the user to have
to do 2 installs from websites.
Possible?
Appreciate any feedback, thank you.

take a look:
http://shu-player.com/
Shu enables you to increase the power and reach of Adobe AIR.
With Shu your AIR applications can quickly be converted into
standalone applications to run on PC or Mac machines without the
AIR runtime installed! Shu applications can also be run from a CD
or network share and do not require installation.

Downloading pics from iphone 4 after hard drive wiped clean. Computer won't prompt me to download when plugged to phone.

Need to get the prompt or figure out how to get the pics to load to my computer from my phone. thx,

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you have windows and you can't get autoplay to prompt you what to do when your phone is connected see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500, but instead of choosing "Take no action" set it to "Prompt for which program to run".
If you can't get this to work you could always try using Photo Stream if you meet the necessay system requirements for iCloud (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/). Or, you could use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer your photos to your computer.

When I plug my iphone in to my laptop, it no longer prompts me to download my photos. How do I fix this?

Is the phone displaying the connect to iTunes picture on the screen instead of the normal unlock. If so, something may have crashed (big-time) resulting in a re-set.
Is there any chance that someone else is signed into iTunes on the computer at the moment rather than your normal iTunes account? That may cause this as well.
At this stage, you could try to manually back it up first (which would be a very good idea), but it sounds like you don't have much choice other than to restore or set it up as new.
Has it done this repeatedly? or is this the first time you've seen this?

JSF error message: Automatic prompting for file download

This is a weird problem. I have a JSF application wherin I popup a new window on a submit button.
The window opens a test.jsf page that redirects the output to a servlet1.
Servlet then based on some parameters does a sendRedirectI() to different servlets out of context.
Now the issue is that when the output is redirected to out of context servlet, that returns a file download.
If in IE browser, if one does not do a setting of "Automatic prompting for file download", this window that I had opened on submit buttton vanishes in a jiffy. If the IE setting is done, it shows the file download correctly.
I would want to show the user some kind of message by which he/she understands that this IE setting has to be done.
I have tried several ways:
1. Javascript: window.onbeforeunload on the test.jsf so that when the window unloads i can show some message. But since test.jsf forwards to servlet1, the html page generated does not show my script.
2. I also tried checking if some windows registry can help me understand the setting.
3. I tried writing in response object the javascript and then redirecting it to servlet out of context. But I guess sendRedirect() does a new request, so this did not help.
Can anyone help? I am not sure if I am able to explain my problem correctly.
Yani

Here is the result.I used your code and it worked fine with IE setting Enabled. But when I tried to access the download servlet after opening a new window, it doesnt download the file.

Isabellasf have you ran the installation files which were downloaded? By default they are downloaded to the download folder within your User folder.

System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

I downloaded a plug-in from this site and it's posting for me on FB. Please jelp me delete.

I downloaded a plug-in from this site to change the look of my FB profile:
[http://www.cuvce.com/download/update-fb1.php?h=eNortjI3sVKqSS4tS07VS87PrTHRM0gyNKpJS0oyNEESzigpKVA1dlQ1cgOi8vJyvbTE5NSk_PxssKyhkaWlmYGZkaWJkjVcMHPaGoM, Change Facebook profile ]
It has since began to post on each of my friends profiles as if it is a wonderful idea and it's not. Please help me delete it. It is not coming up as an application. It also utilized Firefox as a supporter or used its logo along with its promotion. It downloaded Bing as a toolbar as well.

That sounds like an unusual problem. Did it install as an Extension, or as a Plugin? Check in the Addons Manager, and check to see where it appears. If it appears in the Plugins area, then you can disable the plugin, killing its ability to do anything. If it is an Extension, it will be under the Extension section of the Addon Manager. Select to Uninstall and then allow it to do what needs to be done to remove it from your system. If nothing else works, you could try creating a new profile in Firefox and using it instead.
For more information about using the Firefox Profile Manager, I suggest you read [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles this] article on the Mozilla Support zone. While it does state that features such as the Profile Manager are for advanced users and developers, it can also be used in situations where an addon installs itself and you have difficulty removing it from a profile.
I suggest you open a program such as Notepad on Windows (or TextEdit on Mac OS X), and then note down the Extensions and Themes you make the most use of when browsing the internet. Generally, addons such as AdBlock Plus will rank highly on a list such as this, and they tend to be the first extensions I install.
If you do decide you want to customize your Facebook interface in the future, did you know there are several ways to do so with extensions for Firefox? Using [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ Greasemonkey], as well as their respective sites (Userstyles and Userscripts, respectively) can allow you to find some methods for tweaking your Facebook profile. Note that these customizations are local to you, as are the ones you initially attempted to install. In other words, they are only visible on your computer.
For example, if you were to customize your Facebook on your PC, and then use a friend's computer, you would not see the customizations, even if they were using Firefox as well. This means you can have your Facebook profile how you want it, without making it harder for others to see. I hope this is of help, and thanks for using Firefox!

Can't download RAW plug in.

I have PSE 7 and now have a Canon G11 camera. I just spoke to Adobe tech support and they said I need to upgrade to version 8 of PSE for the RAW format to work. Is that true? The web site seems to say that I can download the plug-in but it does not seem to work. I get the blue browen flower icon but no error message at all.
Thanks.

After downloading the zip file this is how to install it:
Close Photoshop Elements 7.
Extract the Camera Raw.8bi file from the ZIP file you downloaded.
If you are using a 32-bit edition of Windows, then move Camera Raw.8bi into:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats.
If you are prompted to overwrite the existing plug-in file, then click Yes or Overwrite.
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move Camera Raw.8bi into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats.
If you are prompted to overwrite the existing plug-in file, then click Yes or Overwrite.

A website "http: // supportfirefox .perl .sh/" designed just like Mozilla Firefox site, is driving users to download fake browser. Please check.

I was browsing for image of "Miss Universe" in Google images in Firefox and somehow got a prompt to download firefox_update.exe. As I know that this is not the way Firefox prompts the user for upgradation, I checked the website. It has been designed to fake Mozilla Firefox website and driving users to download their own executable resembling with Mozilla Firefox setup.

What I'd really like to do is block them with "Adblock Plus" extension. I made up filters for them as follows but while it seems to work for .co.cc they do not work for .perl.sh as in the one in this thread. Reporting them is fine but they spring up so fast that I'd like to just tell people how they can block them even at the expense of some legitimate sites since they are so out of control.

Firefox prompted me to download an incompatible update that its website claims is compatible with my operating system (Mac OS 10.4.11). Why prompt an incompatible download AND claim it is compatible?

I have an iMac and use OS 10.4.11 & Firefox 3.6.19. Firefox prompted me to download an update (to 7.0.1). I looked up the system requirements on your website, and it stated the update is compatible with OS 10.4.11. But after I downloaded and installed the update, it failed to work on grounds of incompatibility. Hence 2 questions: (1) Why did Firefox prompt me to download an incompatible update? (2) Why did your website claim the update is compatible with my operating system when it is not?

Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.

FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

Don't panic . . . . . yet!
You may not have trashed FCE properly.
Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.

I know it is called FCS Remover but it also works for FCE.
