Flash file not responding if more than 1 flash file.

product : Adobe Flex Builder ver 2.. HELP required urgently..
I'm very new to Flex. in my adobe FLEX page, i'm displaying 2
flash file (.swf). the flash file itself pop-up data based on click
on the adobe flash file. however only 1 flash file (first flash
file) responsds and 2nd flash file loaded but NOT responding to
click and no data pop-up in the 2nd flash file.
However, if i change the order of FlashLoader2.load("file"),
the 2nd flash file responding and the 1st flash file not
responding. so, we can conclude that flash file is ok. anything
need to change in adoble flex???? pls help.
thanks

ar tech,
I think that your problem is to do with layering. You have
specified both loaders to have width and height 100% so (unless
there is more to your code than you have posted) they will sit on
top of each other. In that case unless you have done some clever
code to pass on the mouse request, it will get swallowed by
whichever one is on top (hence the change of behaviour when you
alter the order of loading).
It sounds from your description as though they actually sit
in different screen areas, so maybe try changing the location
parameters and see if both respond when you put them side by side.

Cannot upgrade adobe flash player (failed to initialize), shockwave flash does not appear as a plug in

various web sites stated that I needed to update adobe flash player. I clicked on link and followed instructions, then received the message "installation encountered errors - failed to initialize". So far, I have uninstalled previous versions of flash player and checked my plug ins. Noticed that Shockwave flash does not appear in my plug in list and adobe states that this needs to be active for their flash player.
I am on Windows XP and Firefox version 8.
Thanks.

Equium A100-338 - Flash Card not Responding

Everytime I close down World of Warcraft something pops up in the top left hand corner (looks like it should be a window but only top bar showing) which reads 'Toshiba Flash Card (Not Responding)'. What can I do to stop this from happening?
Im pretty sure it pops up throughout the game as well as I hear a ding.
I have a Equium A100-338.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
a solution can be disabling the flash card service if you dont need your flash drive.
You can disable it just by following these steps:
- Go into Start -> settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
- Make a right click on "Smart Card" and left-click on "Properties"
- In the window which pops up you have to stop the service and disable it with choosing "Disabled" at the option "Startup Type"
After that your flashdrive service is disabled and you wont get that annoying errormessage anymore.
(I hope so :O )

Toshiba flash card not responding

I have had my laptop for several years and lately I've been frequently getting the pop-up message 'Toshiba flash card not responding'. It's almost impossible to click away this message. I think there's a relationship between this and the fact that Internet Explorer is slow to start up and sometimes stops running for no good reason when I am online.
How do I fix this?

the toshiba flash cards are the cards that appear at the top of your screen when you rollover it or when you perform a function using the FN button and any of the F keys them not functioning will not cause any problem with your internet explorer but whatever caused the Toshiba flash cards to not work might be making your IE not work

LR CC launches then freezes at flash screen, Not Responding status. have reinstalled, signed out and back in etc etc.

LR CC installed successfully. Launch, get upgrade catalog pop up, ok, Process. LR then launches then freezes at flash screen, Not Responding status. Have reinstalled, Signed out and back in etc etc. Have let it run for several hrs, no joy. Now have 9 catlogs from doign this 9 times. PS CC works fine.

I have found a solution somewhat. Not ideal, but working.
uninstalled and reinstalled for second time. Signed in to CC app, then signed out. Then opened LR CC, signed in from within that (not the CC app), the upgrade catalog pop up came up (again), then LR CC launched and worked fine, albeit bit sluggish.
signed out of LR, signed back in the CC app, lauch LR, it froze at splash screen. So tried LR5 whilst signed into CC app, it froze as well at splash screen.
SIgn out out if CC app, restart PC, launch LR5 without going through CC app, works fine. Tried LR CC direct, works fine. Tried again after sign in through CC app, froze.
so my issue appears related to the CC app.
after all this stuffing about, I am now up to catalog 13 !
so I have a solution for my problem, not ideal, but works.
two hrs in Adobe chat line did not proved the resolution.

Adobe Flash Player not working--Shockwave Flash Object not installing

Ok...let's try this again. Somehow my previous discussion that I had been working on with eidnolb got marked as "Answered" when it wasn't. If you are reading this and are also having problems with Adobe Flash Player, please START YOUR OWN THREAD! That allows someone to help you individually and will hopefully prevent MY question from being accidentally marked as "Answered" when it's not. THANK YOU!
Now to start the whole process over....
1. When I download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, my computer says it's succesful. I'm able to verify through Add/Remove Programs that it IS on the computer. However, when I'm on a site that requires AFP--like Hulu or YouTube--I get a message that says I need to download the latest version.
2. When I was working with eidnolb before, we found that for some reason the Shockwave Flash Object wasn't on my computer, even though I uninstalled and installed AFP several times and also restarted my computer.
3. I use Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8. My computer also has AVG 9.0.830 for anti-virus protection and Spyware Blaster. The only firewall I use is the standard Microsoft firewall that came already installed.
4. I am the administrator on my computer. I have also made sure the following are disabled when I download AFP: anti-virus program, anti-spyware program, firewall, all add-ons in Explorer, and any messenger programs.
Thank you to whomever is available and willing to help me. I truly appreciate it!

I had this problem too. I'm not an expert with this at all, but Adobe Support at:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
said that if you try to use Flashplayer with Internet Explorer 8 (64 bit) it won't work and you'll just keep getting the message to "Install Flashplayer" over and over even if you can see in your files that you already have it installed. They told me to use the 32 bit version of IE 8, or another browser such as Mozilla Foxfire or Google Chrome (both of which are 32 bit). Now I can watch Hulu with any of these three browsers. I didn't have to turn of AVG at all; but I have AVG 2011 Free Version 10.0.1170 downloaded from http://www.download.com . Also, according to the first website shown above, you don't have the latest version of Flashplayer, which is recommended by Adobe.

Flash causes "Not Responding"

I am using Flash 15.0.0.239 on IE 11.0.9600.17420IS on Windows 7. Nearly every website I open with Flash enabled gets a "not responding" error including Adobe.Com. If I disable Flash, the websites work just fine. How do I fix this problem?

Hi, Try again- download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE the Installer to your Desktop:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browser windows, disable any instant messengers in the system tray(area near the clock)
Disable McAfee
Run the Uninstaller and then restart your computer.
Check to make sure McAfee is still disabled.
Run the Installer and then restart your comptuer.
Re-enable your McAfee.
Test here and you should see the Flash Player logo(RedF) animate(spin) and the version of Flash Player should be 10.2.159.1

Flash keeps 'not responding' when exporting .swf & file WAY too big

Hello!
I am creating an animation using ActionScript2 on Flash Professional CS5 and whenever I try to export (or even test) my animation, the progress bar comes up but the progress does not move. Then after about a second the dreaded '(not responding)' appears at the top of the window and if you click anywhere it greys out closes it.
If I leave it it doesn't export for ages (liteally like 3-6 minutes which is long for just exporting).
It only has 280 frames and the .fla file so far is 9.96MB! Other animations I have made have had double the frames yet 5 times smaller a file.
I have cleaned my registry many times (I thought that might be the problem or something).
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND! PLZ HELP!

Shockwave flash plugin not working at all!! HELP

So, here is my problem, I have windows 8.1 64bit and running the latest mozilla firefox.
I've had a lot of problems with flash player (32bit), videos not working properly, loading very slow.. (i have fast internet, working good) then i updated flash and it totally stoped working.
Resetting Firefox does not work for me. Flash player is not working at all, so i had to uninstall it. i uninstalled both flash player and shockwave player. i tried having only flash player - still not working.
I've already tried these too:
-Uninstalling and re-installing flash player
-Uninstalling and re-installing in Safe Mode
-Turning off hardware acceleration in both Firefox and flash player
-i have updated all drivers on my computer
Still not working at all! WHY?

This add-on will prevent Flash from running on the web page until you want.

Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it
won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
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)

Flash is not responding constantly only when I open a more complex project

Hi all,
Originally, I downloaded the free trial of Flash Professional CC 2014 to work on a major project. As my project has become more complex, flash suddenly kept not responding. The issue is not evident when I work on the less complex projects.
I have tried giving the file more space by deleting other flash projects from my computer, as well as clearing drive space, but this has made no difference. The project file is 9.5mb in size.
I then downloaded the full paid version of Flash and the problem is still there.
I have narrowed the issue down to a complex symbol I created, it has multiple layers with around 150 seperate keyframes. The issue started around when I created this symbol, and now when i try to place the symbol into the scene, I am able to grab and drag the symbol, and when I try the program stops responding. Overall without touching the symbol the program is very slow and often stops responding because of simple actions. I hope not to recreate this symbol as that will take up more valuable time.
I hope someone can help as I have a lot more to add to the project.

What is your anti-virus software?

Why is Firefox crashing? No error or reason is given. Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox/Shockwave/Flash does not help. I have no addons.

Firefox randomly closes every time I go to do something, like use Google or Yahoo (it will NOT close if I let it linger). It would also close immediately when I tried to use a hyperlink through Word. When I go to open it back up, it will say that it cannot restore the previous session and there are no crash ID's of any kind.
I have no addons or extensions, and thus they cannot be causing this. I've uninstalled/re-installed Firefox, Shockwave, Flash, and Java. I've wiped my cookies and history. Nothing works. My other two browsers, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, are working fine.
What could be causing this?

You can try to do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Shockwave flash will not let me upgrade cause I messed up in trying.

I tried to many times to download shockwave flash and it now it won't let me and it shows still needs to be updated.

Thank-you Cor-el for trying to help me but firefox says it needs to be upgraded so I guess I'll just wait awhile and try again. The directions that are given for downloading were confusing to me cause I was reading the directions and clicked on the blue where the directions are instead of the blue that had just popped up to download. The directions do not fit on the page without moving the cursor and I just got lost doing it. Don't know why I didn't understand and did this I think 3 times and then it just blocked me. I had tried too many times. But I know how to do it and others the next time I have to download anything. I really appreciate you and others that are out there to help. I will checking that out. I don't know much so I doubt I could help anyone else but you never know. I might make someone's day and mine too if I could help someone. That would be awesome. Again Thanks.

"Could not load Shockwave Flash" error not solved from common fix.

I am using Google Chrome as my web browser and I am getting the, "Could not load Shockwave Flash" error message. I have googled it and followed the common fix, however it does not fix anything. If I disable the plug-in then it prompts me to install Flash Player when I view videos and if I try to install Flash Player it tells me that I already have it installed, but it is disabled and to re-enable it. I've done about all I can think to do, please help?

You cannot:
-download
-install
-repair
-update
Flash Player for Chrome from here. Chrome uses a proprietary build called PepperFlash. It's modified by Google before they embed it and Adobe doesn't have downloads for it.
You can try the following:
1. Exit chrome, make sure it is not running
2. Using Windows explorer go to C:\users\[user name]\AppData\local\Google\Chrome\User data\Pepperflash
3. Delete the folders you see there
4. Start chrome again.
Notes:
[user name] is your logon name.
In order to access the AppData folder, you need to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" in your Folder Options.
If those steps fail, the ONLY way to repair it is to uninstall and reinstall Chrome.

Shockwave Flash Plugin not loading properly in Safari 1.3.2

Lately, I've been getting a message in Safari that it attempts to load the Shockwave Flash plugin in, but it's unsuccessful. I think that I've done just about everything possible to corect the problem (uninstalling, installing, fixing permissions, manually deleting associated files...).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks for the reply.
The Flash media box is indeed unchecked in the QT Sys. pref.'s. And I have IE 5.2.3 installed but never use it. And what's the strangest of all, is that booting up as another user on the same computer, Flash works fine (same sites, same software, etc.). The account that I'm having the problem with is the admin account. The one that works is set up as a Standard account. I've also tried reinstalling it from Macromedia's website, and I simply get an error message stating that I do not have sufficient access (while I'm signed in as Admin. The other account (standard access) allows the install to run smoothly, and as I said above, it works seamlessly.
Thanks again for any insights.
