Strange Safari 'Adobe Flash Player 9' message...

In the past few days several times a day a Safari window has opened stating:
"A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive."
Do you want to abort the script? Yes No
I do not know how to eliminate this or what is generating this message. When I 'Spotlight' Adobe Flash Player 9 nothing comes up...
The only other non-regular thing I've been doing is running an old DVD which needs to be in the OS 'Classic' mode..
Any suggestions...?

I'd guess it were a problem linked to some of the sites you are visiting (these aren't unspecified). Frequently websites utilize JavaScript to communicate to Flash, but they don't always check for issues with Safari browser when designed! (If you were feeling brave you could check the Safari Java Script console for info when the message occurs for you). If you don't need Flash you can deinstall it using its deinstaller application from the Adobe website.

Safari & Adobe Flash Player

Some sites requiring Adobe Flash Player 10,0,45,2 on Safari won't launch to play videos.
Here is an example:
http://www.ktuu.com
The Top Videos on the right hand side show an arrow to click on. However, when I click to play them, nothing happens. I have no problems viewing them in Firefox.
I can watch videos on this site, only if they're included in the story.
I just can't view the Top Video section.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash Player and repairing permissions. This has not corrected the problem in Safari. Is there something else I should try, or forget it and continue to use Firefox for these videos.
I am using Snow Leopard, and this isn't the only site I have this problem.
Thank you

Hi
the top videos section tries to open a new window when a video thumbnail is clicked - if Safari's 'block popup windows' is checked - nothing will happen.
Using Leopard, I ca see them fine unless pop-ups are blocked.

Mac Safari "Adobe Flash Player Security" issue

Using Captivate 5.5 for Mac. I've been having sporadic problems viewing my published .htm files in Safari. I always get the "Adobe Flash Player Security" popup on initial load, but before today I could usually just click OK and refresh the browser window to play the Flash content. Today I can no longer view the content in Safari. (Firefox plays the content fine.)
The popup says "To let this application comminicate with the Internet, click "Settings". When I click Settings, my Mac OS Flash preference dialog opens. But the only options available are "Local Storage Settings", "Camera and Mic", "Playback" (which pertains to peer-assisted networking, not local playback), and "Advanced" (which only allows you to delete local files). Just for experimentation, I tried adding my local path as an allowed site in "Local Storage Settings" but it doesn't have any effect.
I don't have any other problems using regular Flash-based websites in Safari. Only my published Captivate files spawn this security popup.
How do I fix this?

It worked! Thank you. (Actually, I used the related URL for "Global security settings for content creators" (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml#119065) since that URL is intended for local development/testing, whereas the link you provided is for sites on the Web.)
But I'm curious. . . according to Adobe (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html), "Beginning with Flash Player 10.3, the Local Settings Manager supersedes this Online Settings Manager for managing global settings on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers." Yet the page goes on to explain when one would use the online Global Settings. This is very confusing. If the local Settings Manager supercedes the online manager, why would the online manager still be required for certain uses? And why isn't a link to the Global Settings manager provided within the local Settings manager. What am I not understanding?

Hello sunnyskoolof13, Below is some information on the brccmctl file you list. You must have a Brother printer of other Brother device.
brccmctl.exe is a process from Brother Industries, Ltd.. It can be found in the location of C:\Program Files\brother\controlcenter3.
brccmctl.exe is a potential security risk which can be modified maliciously by spyware.
brccmctl.exe should be disabled and removed, if it was attacked and brought you brccmctl.exe error.
Just go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features, ( if using Windows 7) If using Windows XP, go to Control Panel, Add and Remove Programs, and locate and remove this application.
If your Brother Device stops working, you may need to reinstall the application.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.
Please mark Accept As Solution if it solves your problem.

When downloading the latest version of adobe flash player (11.4) a message pops up "cannot locate a reliable source" what does this mean and can it be fixed?

Iweb 08: adobe flash player error messages and crashing when saving

Hi. I switched not too long ago from an 08 Imac to a mid 2011 with Mountain Lion. I brought the applications I could from the other computer, including Iweb 08.
today was the first time I tried to tweak my site with it. I opened the old file on the new computer using this method:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Transfer_Site.html
All seemed well at first. Then I got a slew of error messages to the effect of "Adobe® Flash® Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network: blah blah is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled loaction: blah blah blah".
My site is used to display my work in the video production field, so it's related to the various players/videos embedded.
In addition, when I tried to save after opening that first time, and any time, since, it crashes during the save.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Here're two of the pages on my site that were making iweb go nuts:
http://videoproduction.joshbass.com/Videoproduction-_ENG_Interviews.html
http://videoproduction.joshbass.com/Videoproduction-_Commercial.html
Thanks.

Whether or not you use iWeb, you may be aware that things have changed. Since you're a professional, I assume the trade must have talked about it.
I'm not a professional, but I have read about it for the past few years.
Adobe Flash is on it's way out. Especially on Mobile devices, such as my iPad, where your movies do not display.
Here's how I do it.
It started with this in Flash :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/rolando/
Then made this with the <embed> code 4 years ago :
http://www.wyodor.net/Tutorials/ImageWidget/ClickMovie.html
And in a similar style, made for iPad :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/cultureclub/Movies.html
Then HTML5 came along and made a sample with custom code to explain it :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/HTML5Video.html
And with code from the Interwebs :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/HTML5_Zencoder.html
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/
And regarding the Adobe messages? It's not particular to your situation. It's a warning that you try to use Flash outside the protected area of a website.
You can either ignore it, or prevent it by making separate webpages for each flash video and then display them with an iframe in the HTML Snippet. The HTML5 demos above do that.
So the magic word is : Educate.

Adobe flash player security message not going away!

Hi,
I have this annoying security window that opens every so often when i use Firefox:
I would like to upload a screenshot but don't think i have that possibility here, but here are the details more or less:
Adobe® Flash® Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network:
/Users/myname/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/9gedrzkx.default/extensions/{ef4e370e-d9f0-4e00-b93e-a4f274cfdd5a}.xpi!/chrome/content/foxTab_flash10.swf?v1_4_1
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
null
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings.

Here is a screenshot that i wanted to show:

While installing Adobe flash player , a message appears "please quit the following program to continue safari'

while installing adope flash player on my new macbook air , this message appears ,, i'm already not using safari ,, i cant think of anything else to close ..help ?!

53. Re: Mac installation says Safari is open, but it is not.
hellohelloworldworldd Jul 2, 2014 9:50 AM (in response to mazion)
If anyone else is having the issue where the Flash install is asking you to close Safari when you know it's closed, try this:
1. Open activity monitor: Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
2. Find a process called WebkitPluginAgent and force that to quit.
3. Then retry the flash install.
The above solution fixed the problem for me in OS X 10.10.1 . You can force it to quit by clicking the X in the upper left corner of the Activity Monitor window. After selecting WebkitPluginAgent.

Can't install adobe flash player, error message says cannot contact a reliable source

Everytime I try to download it, it gets to about 7% and then the error message says cannot contact reliable source. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall the previous versions, but no luck. I've tried locating hidden files but couldn't find any. Any suggestions?

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer prior to re-installing?
Where did you download the flash player from?

I get this message then crash:Adobe flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.

I get this message on about a dozen popup screens, then I have to force quit and reopen safari:

Is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled location:
eqg.displaycdn.com

I have followed some ideas I have found on Google, but nothing has stopped this from happening.
Any ideas are welcome.

Do I have to download OS X on my mac desktop in order to get adobe flash player?

I am trying to download adobe flash player onton my imac. Everytime I try to download adobe flash player, this message comes up "adobe flash player 2.exe because microsoft windows applications are not supported on OS X." Do I have to purchase the OS X application ($19.99)?

You need to download the Mac OS X version of Flash and not the Windows version.

Unable to install adobe flash player/firefox/

hours of work alone and with amazon support and still unsucessful at installing adobe flash player. Message says it has been successfully installed, but every t ry at using amazon prime's streaming video gets message it is not installed.
Read that it cannot be straightforwardly installed on Windows 7 operating system when firefox is the browser.
I hope someone can provide me with clear, straightford ward directions about how to do this. Think of telling your grandmother how: mini steps, where to look for the icons or directions you are talking about. single click or double....
Trust me, I worked with an Amazonll technician for over one hour, tried to install aat least 20 times and failed (remember it "tells me" it has been installed, but it ain't working)
So, what are the secrets?
More thanks than you can possibly imagine from one frustrated firefox user.

There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
