Since 5.1, cursor vanishes with Flash Applications

Hello Community,
I am using OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1
When using a Flash Application (Gliffy, Fishville), the cursor disappears (only to reappear when you click out of safari and then mouse back in).
Earlier versions of Safari do not show this problem.
Suggestions to reinstall Flash and to use the non-debugger version of Flash were not successful.
Suggestions to delete the plist were not successful either.
Is this related to: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player ?
Thanks,
Debi K

Do you have ClickToFlash installed?
Look here > ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Also, try uninstalling then reinstalling the Flash plugin.
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
If that doesn't help try deleting Flash cookies.

Re:. Flash applications freeze periodically with sound but no video on all browsers.

I've been having problems with flash applications on browsers for the past year or two. What happens is that when a flash video starts, my browser will lag periodically. The sound will be present, but the video will freeze, and I will not be able to switch tabs, click on buttons etc. This was most noticable on YouTube at first, but it's also occuring with other sites, and it's very annoying when a site has flash ads and it causes my entire browsing experience to slow to a crawl. This isn't just a firefox problem, I've tried IE and google chrome as well, and I have also tried different Internet connections. I've tried various suggestions to fix it, such as turning off hardware acceleration, uninstalling then reinstalling flash and shockwave, reinstalling my video codecs, but they all have no effect. Can anyone help me with this problem, its driving me nuts! My browsers are all updated to the latest version, my flash player is version 11.7.700.169, and I am using Windows 7 pro (6.1, build 7601).

Do you notice any difference if you disable hardware acceleration?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?

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

Using UI Automation Framework to interact with Flex applications

Hi all,
I created a small flash app using Flex builder 4.
I am writing a tool to interact with flash applications using UI Automation Framework which is similar to UI Spy. I've read in so many forums that accessibility can be done using UI Automation or MSAA.
Using the tool, I am able to get all the fields that are present in the application. (button, text, edit fields etc). Now, I want to use InvokePattern on buttons from my tool so that, if I click "Invoke" in my tool, the associated button will be clicked in the flash app. Here, I find no issues to do anything.
But, if there is a textinput field on the flash application and I use ValuePattern of UI Automation to set some value in the field using SetValue(), then I am getting
"System.InvalidOperationException"
even when I tried simple SetFocus() on to that field, I am getting the same exception Looks like, I cannot interact with flash text fields in the same way I do with other window's fields.
I used UISpy and other tools to see if they are doing any better with setting values on a text field. But, they too failed with same exception.
Can someone tell me why this is failing? Does flex/flash support UI Automation to this extent? Are there any examples or links that can help me here?

@riatest Thanks for the info.
I downloaded flex sdk to see if there is anything that will help me. But, In flex sdk, I cannot find anything that would ease my path. I want to stick to developing in C# to talk to Flash applications. What is the best way to proceed? Are there any sdks that I can download and use for C# development to interact with the flex controls? What is the way to go? I seem not to find any good hits in the web as well
Thanks

Issue with MozillaFirefox browser and Flash application

Hi all,
             I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0.
             I have created a new flash application and executed it(.swf file has obtained). But, now I need to display the contents of .swf file(i.e., output of my application) in a browser window.
             So, the issue is: When I open flash application in InternetExplorer browser window, then the application/.swf file opens fine. But, it is not working well when open it in MozillaFirefox browser window.
   Please, can anyone help me in this context.
Thanks in advance. Reply me as soon as possible.......

Hi Cyboide,
               Actually, I am new to Flash platform. I have developed a flash file and (.fla and .swf files are created) this .swf file I need to use within our project(based on Java) which is to be run in localhost. So, I had followed these steps as I saw in Google Help:
1.) I had opened .fla file(First.fla) and goto File -> PublishSettings -> Formats tab.
2.) In this tab, I had selected .html and .swf checkboxes and deselected remaining all.
3.) Click on "Publish" button and then "OK" button.
So, a html file with same name as that of .fla/.swf file is created in the same folder beside thes .fla and .swf files.
I think it is clear upto this point.
                 Now,
                            If I open my .swf file simply in a browser window(Mozilla), I can view the contents. But, the Buttons, checkboxes, Combo-boxes etc., controls have no access(i.e., any animation, tweening works well but there is no user interaction).
                           Else, When I open my project in localhost(Java project), here somewhere i call my flash file(i.e.,First.swf file). But, the contents of .swf file are not viewed in the case of Mozilla Firefox. But, it works well in InternetExplorer browser including my whole project(i.e., all localhost). Hence, no problems when opened in IE.
Please reply me as soon as possible. It is the only issue to end up my project.
Waiting for replies.....
thanks a lot in advance..

Anyone else having trouble with flash player over working the processor since the security update?

Hi everyone-
Since the last security update (flash player version 11.7.700.169) I have been having trouble with flash player beating the daylights out of my processor. My OS is Windows XP. This only happens on some sites, not all. For example netflix and amazon are fine, but acorn and huffington post videos send the processor into overdrive. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance :-)

I have XP on some machines, and I do not experience any such problems with 11.7.700.179. If I were, I would try two things
update the graphics drivers; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
update to the latest Flash Player beta, or wait until the new version is released later this week

Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

If there is a pattern of the application working up to Firefox 3.6.3 and not working starting with Firefox 3.6.4, there could be a problem with trying to communicate events between firefox.exe (which hosts pages) and plugin-container.exe (which hosts some plugins). You can tweak your settings to force plugins to run in firefox.exe to see whether this is the problem. This article has some background information on that:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
''Do you know if there are problems with Firefox 3.6 when you double click in a JSP/JAVA/Javascript application?''
No, I don't know. Obviously I can't read every post here, but I haven't read about it before.
Is it a stupid question to ask: why does that matter?? To fix the application to work in Firefox 3.6 and above, we need to see a page that works on other browsers and fails in Firefox. It doesn't need to be the whole application, just enough to demonstrate the problem so that if we solve it, then you can apply that learning back to your application.

Firefox has trouble with all flash applications

My favorite forum website recently dropped support for IE. This specific reason, is the ONLY reason I stopped using IE. Firefox has a much closer resemblance to IE than chrome, and this is the ONLY reason I chose it over chrome.
Everything works fine, except every and all flash applications.
Youtube, animated ads, games... everything causes huge cpu load spikes and lags like crazy (I'm sure it would cause a crash on a basic computer). I have a very high end rig, the problem is not my hardware, or internet speed (100mbs). It is entirely fire fox.
All flash apps work FINE on IE/chrome, I tested them. Please offer support, thank you.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
On Windows Vista and above, you can disable Flash protected mode by following the instructions on these pages:

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.

Interaction Flash Lite with another applications

Hi:
I would like to know if exists any posibility of communicate
or interact my flash lite app with another non-flash application
(for example using JNI or any kind of median layer between my flash
app and another app). This non flash app may be a java app for
example or another symbian app that I have developed
Thanks

Hi there,
Yes it is possible. You can use FSCommand("launch") to do
this.
///example:
The following example would open wap.yahoo.com on the
services/Web browser on Series 60 phones:
on(keyPress "9") {
status = fscommand("launch",
"z:\\system\\apps\\browser\\browser.app,
http://wap.yahoo.com");
Hope this helps,
