Support for Flash?

Does anyone know if Quicktime will support playback of Flash (.swf) files again anytime soon? I keep waiting for Flash support to return to Quicktime, but it's been over a year now.
I have a ton of Keynote presentations that are going to become completely obsolete unless support for Flash is reintroduced to Quicktime.
I downgraded my Quicktime Player to 7.2 (as far as I can tell that was the last update that allowed you to enable Flash playback), but I realize this is not a workable solution forever.
Is there another solution other than running 7.2? Are there any third party programs that allow Flash playback within Quicktime? I've looked but haven't discovered any. Am I just missing some obvious solution?

According to this post from the Keynote group, you can turn on flash w/in QT.
Alas I don't see that option — having said that I looked at mime types and legacy encoders and nada, but oddly when I went to check the QT version in the "About Quicktime" (accessed via the *System Preferences*) it cycles thru various codecs and "Macromedia Flash Player" is one of them... guess it doesn't access anymore. :o(

What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Hi Bentley,
I wanted to tell you that an important link you posted does
not work and says "Sorry, this page is not available".
It is in your post entitled "Locked [ADOBE FYI] : Getting

The link that is non-functional is "If you have issues

This is the issue I am dealing with myself, and desperately

Thank you so very much,

Hi Bentley,
I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
post has a mini bug in it.
If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
see the period there each time.
I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
it.

IOS support for Flash Builder 4.5.1

I am getting the following message when I try to export a releae build to iOS using Flash Builder 4.5.1:
This platform is not currently supported for Flex Mobile projects
I have tried running the update again and gives me the update was successful message, but I still don't have iOS support.
I did update using the Eclipse updater and was unable to open Flash Builder, but since resolved that issue. I wonder if I need to reinstall Flash Builder and reapply the update or if there is an easier fix.

I just created a project with Adobe Launchpad (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/airlaunchpad/), and it looked like I setup all the options for iOS, but when I go to run configurations and try and deploy to an iOS device I'm getting the same problem: "This platform is not currently supported for Flex Mobile projects"
Anyone know why?

Support for flash player plugin in webview

Will the webview at some point support the flash player plugin? We have a legacy reporting engine that was developed in Flex that we were hoping we could access in a webview.
Thanks.
Stefan

No - webview will not support a flash player plugin.
install flash plugin for WebView "Thread: install flash plugin for WebView"
Richard's comment from the thread (Richard is the JavaFX lead):
As for plugins, we are not likely to ever support running plugins (except maybe applets), for security reasons. There are also additional issues. If the browser is to support arbitrary things that Chrome supports like native client etc, it adds to the footprint of the browser (and security risks). Already the WebView constitutes over half of the download size of JavaFX. I would need a pretty strong justification to make it larger if doing so also increases our risk to vulnerabilities.

Alternativa3D 8.12.0 update with support for Flash Player 11 Beta 2

To your attention we introduce the new public engine build Alternativa3D 8.12.0 which supports the Flash Player 11 Beta 2. So this version of the engine is completely compatible with the latest Flash Player build at the present moment. We have also accelerated the mouse events system and added the orthographic mode to the camera.
Complete list of changes
The public version Flash Player 11 Beta 2 is now supported.
The orthographic mode has been added to the Camera3D.
The MouseEvent system has been optimized and accelerated.
Logo “AlternativaPltaform” has been updated.
Now when objects are added and removed from the parent, the event will be sent (Event3D.ADDED, Event3D.REMOVED).
The ability to change the property renderToBitmap into View after creating has been added.
The height and width of the View has been limited to the minimum size of 50×50.
Bug in mouse events system when used skins divided on surfaces by divide() was fixed.
A bug has been fixed in Decal.
Skin lighting algorithm changed to more precise one.
ParserCollada: Fixed a bug when binormal vector of the vertices of the object was incorrectly parsed.
The value of backgroundAlpha in the View constructor changed to 1.0 by default.
VertexLightTextureMaterial now draws correctly without lights in scene.
MouseEvent3D was moved from alternativa.engine3d.core to alternativa.engine3d.core.events.
A bug has been fixed in Object3D.dispatchEvent().
The offset property has been added to the constructor Decal and it is compulsory.
Now the offset property can be copied using the clone () method of class Decal.
The ratio property has been removed from View class.
VertexLightTextureMaterial now can be used with skin with the maximum number of bones in surface no more than 33.

Official LCCS support for Flash Player 10.3?

Hi,
We have been waiting for some time to the release of Flash Player 10.3 due to its promised AEC capabilities. Now that it's out, when should we expect LCCS to follow the release and support the latest player?
I saw a thread from a few menths ago regarding this issue but we prefer working on release artifacts.
Thanks,
Ehud

Hi all,
We've been building/posting 10.3 SWCs with every release - check the AEC
thread for downloadable bits.
That said, we're not going to have a full release ready for 10.3 until the
release-after-next. Next release is coming up super-quick, so we just didn't
have time to properly test the 10.3 code yet. We'll make the
release-after-next as soon as possible, but in the meantime, please help us
test the 10.3 builds posted.
thanks for all your help, we really appreciate it!

Frustration with lack of support for Flash Player on IPad. When is Apple going to support Flash?

When is Apple going to support Flash Player on IPad?
The majority of sites that have multimedia content rely on Flash. Safari users are missing out on tons and tons of content that depends on Flash. I have and love my IPad 2. I should be able to use this awesome thing to get at anything I need to on the Internet. Yet when I need to access Flash sites, I am forced back to my windows PC.
Please Apple Make it happen! I'm tired of being ragged by android users on this. You need to fix it.

Really it's not seeming that way.
In fact, since the iPad release, and Steve Jobs famously declairing the death of Flash, Flash useage has increased.
Check it out 95.75% of all internet connected devices have the Flash Player.
http://www.statowl.com/flash.php
(the mac only has 12% share, it must be totally doomed then)
IOS Apps are now made using Adobe Flash
http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/09/the-best-selling-ipad-app-on-the-app-stor e-was-created-with-adobe-flash/
And so are Android, Blackberry etc.
And HTML5 was supposed to be Apple's answer to all the missing content, yet here, 3 years later, HTML5 is no where to be seen, and lacks support/performance to compete with Flash.
http://getmoai.com/images/banners/mobilegaming-html5-vs-alternatives-011112-moai .jpg
Just look at how when you step outside the reality distortion field, things look much different. Look at HTML5 performance compared to Flash.... wasn't HTML5 supposed to outperform and save us from dead batteries? Well even 3 years after Steve Jobs claims it's still using 5x more resources than Flash.
This demo shows 16,250 sprites animating at 60fps using the Flash player, something HTML5 can't even do with less than 100 sprites.

HTML5 is a joke, Flash is real, and is providing real content to real people right now. If you as an Apple owner believe the ownership of an IOS device is worth this loss, then more power to you.

Customer request: better support for Flash-heavy web sites!? Feasible?

The company I work for (a SUN partner) is currently engaged in a desktop virtualisation project at a customer who is in the health care sector. Of course Sun VDI isn't the only thing they have been looking at. But so far we've always come out on top.
PanoLogic and their "Pano Cube" thin-clients were looked at but never really considered. The argument being "Nobody is using that!" and they don't want to play "Star Trek" and "boldly buy things nobody has bought before". So it was "Thank you and bye bye PanoLogic". However ... PanoLogic is on their radar now and they might still go back one day ...
Next up was VMware View. They didn't like what they saw. So for now they will keep their ESX and vSphere servers but VMware View is out of the game for now.
So right now there is still us with our Sun VDI / Sun SSGD offer and a competitor with their Citrix offerings. So far we've always managed to tip the balance in our favor.
This Wednesday though we had a few of customer's managers visit us. They wanted to see a Sun VDI 3.1 live demo. All was fine, all was well, and we had the impression that they were so close to giving the "go ahead", when one of the pro-Citrix guys opened two web sites in his VDI demo session:
http://www.adiacom.ch
http://www.2advanced.com
Both sites are extremely extremely Flash-heavy.
And of course: The performance was sub-optimal. We were running this on a Sun Ray 2, 1600 x 1200 pixels. Even though the sound was tip top in both the Windows XP and in the Linux sessions (they admit that in all the other products they have tried so far the sound was choppy or there was even no sound at all .... ) the video was slightly out of sync. And the web site "2advanced.com" took too long to load.
So now all of a sudden the ability to play these two web sites "tip top" on a Sun Ray 2 is THE killer argument for them. It doesn't even matter that all other solutions they have looked at can't show those two web sites at all, now it's all of a sudden that Sun Rays and Sun VDI just "aren't good enough" at playing those two web sites.
Customer is king. Customer is always right.
So ... anyone here from Sun have any suggestions how we might improve performance of those two web sites inside the VDI sessions? Is there anything we could tweak and tune inside VDI 3.1 to get the max performance out of our setup?
Or are there any products in the pipeline like new Sun Ray clients with improved multimedia performance that I could tell them about so we could keep them interested in Sun's products ... ?
Edited by: DJ. on Oct 30, 2009 6:22 AM -- typos corrected.

Greetings oh Master :)
We don't have flash acceleration for LinuxI know. And yet the "adiacom.ch" web site performed better on Firefox & Ubuntu than on Win XP-SP3 & MSIE 8.
only XP and W2K3.I know
Are you using the MS-RDP severSun VDI 3.1 ... I get the VDI login mask, I login, I pick a Windows XP desktop from the available pools, and Windows XP appears. The desktops are provided via VMware vSphere.
viewing the site via IEUnder Windows XP, yes.
and have the Flash acceleration bits installed?I remember installing various multimedia bits that can be found in the "Supplemental" sub-directory of the SRWC 2.2 ZIP file: "SunMMR" and "SunWinUSB". But now that I look at the web page you linked to I am a bit confused .... Did I install an old version? I will have to check that again and make sure this stuff is really really installed.
Thanks for that link!

No more support for flash 9, Argh! Actually 10.2, so ok....

I know, confusing title, so let me explain. I was going to give Adobe both barrels about announcing that they were going to stop supporting flash 9. This being due to me still needing flash 9 because of 10.1 having jerky video playback in certain senarios, where flash 9 is smooth. I.E lower powered PC's without flash accelerating GPU's or HD video from websites that don't have flash 10.1 supporting video streams. Documented here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/782034
But just after I saw the annoncement, I also saw that flash 10.2 was avaliable and have tried it out. And to my pleasure it looks like, in the senarios where 10.1 resulted in jerky video, 10.2 now gives smooth video in exaclty the same way flash 9 does. This is just from my initial testing of normally jerky senarios. But it looks like 10.2 has taken away all the reasons that I needed to keep flash 9 kicking around. So good job Adobe, please don't do updates in the future like 10.1 which were a step back in some cases....

Hello, Well, what a refreshing post Nice to see, I must say:-)

Does firefox for mobile (on android) support adobe flash player?

I wish to view videos on you tube using adobe flash player from my HTC Desire running android 2.2, but need to know if this browser supports adobe flash player.

'''Update''': Firefox for Android now includes supports for Flash content. You'll need the Adobe Flash plugin, which is no longer available in the app market, but you can still download it directly from Adobe. For details, see [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?]]

Hi I have online classes and I try to use my IPad 2 and then I try to watch video it ask me for flash player. I want to know what is the program for it?

What program I can use for iPad to do flash players job to watch video?

Misagh wrote:
Can you tell what program I can use?
Simple answer: no. As stated previously, there is no Flash for iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch (a.k.a. iOS devices.)
You can try other web browsers such as Skyfire and Puffin, which have limited support for Flash, but no guarantees.

Support for Flash?
