Supported Versions of Flash

Hi all,
I am trying to find some documentation from Adobe that shows which versions of Adobe Flash are actively supported. I believe that the two branches that are currently supported are version 13 and version 16, but I was curious if Adobe has officially declared this somewhere. Any help or references would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi Mike,
There are currently two versions of Flash Player supported on all supported platforms (Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs), Flash Player 13 (Extended Support Release) and 16 (current release).
Flash Player 16 receives regular security fixes, bug fixes and new features.
Flash Player 13 (ESR) is mainly aimed at Enterprise customers who license the Flash Player and wish to remain on a stable version of Flash Player that only receives regular security fixes. Regular (non-Enterprise customers) users who do not wish to receive bug fixes and new features (or who experience problems with the current release) also use the ESR version.

Hi Tom,
Thank for reply.
In my application I was using Flex 3.0 and LCDS 2.6. I need to generat PDF
generate and save 100% at client side. so I used Flex Gumbo to use
filestream.save since flex 3.0 doesn't support filestream. Using Gumbo let
me filestream but gave me an "direction" style declaration for charting
component .. mismatch with previous version. To overcome that I used Flex 4
flash builder. That gave got rid of direction but gave me LCDS 2.6 version
error. I have copied my older workspace to another location and using this
workspace for Flex 4. I am using LCDS 2.6 though it give me same error. I
have almost given up, really dont know what needed to be done. Thanks for
your help.

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version.

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version. Has there been a fix or patch to this issue or do I have to convert back to CS4 to open the file?

Having the same problem in CS6. I can tell you that converting back to CS4 will NOT solve the problem. It seems when support for backward compatibility is discontinued, there's just no way to get
any help at all? Absolute failure to provide any user support so far...

I am facing issue when opening flash files in Flash CC. (Error : - .fla was created with a later version of Adobe Flash Professional CC and might contain new features not supported in this version of Flash professional.)

We all can learn from this. Whenever you get stuck in a customer-service situation that goes nowhere, as soon as you become aware of the futility, get the name and employee ID of the person, then say, "I don't mean to be rude, I think we're both wasting our time. Perhaps you weren't trained for this issue, or perhaps your system isn't displaying the correct information. It doesn't matter, because I'm not getting proper customer support this way. Please ESCALATE this to your highest-level manager IMMEDIATELY. If that person isn't availabe, ESCALATE me to that person's highest-level manager. If you haven't been given the proper training, you can use this to inform your manager that you need the training. Thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it. I have copied and saved this chat session. NOW PLEASE ESCALATE THIS CASE AS I HAVE REQUESTED ABOVE. I'm waiting now... "
The point is that you're a customer, and the company needs customers, so the individual who's failing to deliver good service needs to be identified so they can be properly trained, and so that problems in the system can also be identified, but more important is that you get the service you're entitled to.
If you search the forum for similar questions, you'll see the kind of information that the volunteer users like yourself on the forum need to know about your system and files involved, so they can help you better.
Good luck.

Hi, My macbook air doesn't supporting latest version of flash-player. I can't watch videos on youtube

Whenever I click on any vedio on youtube it always ask me to get the latest version of flash player. Link for latest version also provided in vedio screen. several times I tried after remoing and reinstalling of latest version of flash player but it doesn't work so far.

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Current Version Of Flash Does Not Work For Last 8 Months Or Longer

So i make flash arcades that resides in a game called Second Life the flash player it used to work great till the updates not long ago i now have to tell each person wanting to play my arcades that they have to do the following to get it to work.
Here Is The Quote
This is a fix for people that can not move with arrow keys in game or other keys not working on the arcade it comes down to Adobe no fixing there code in there new version. Every now and again they release a new version of Flash Player and they break the code this here is a way to fix it so you can play the arcades in sl with out problems i am sorry it is taking Adobe so long to fix this i have no control over what they do i do hope they fix this soon.
Step 1. Download the uninstaller for Flash Player http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
The Flash Player uninstaller executes on both 64-bit and 32-bit version of the Windows operating systems.
Save the file in a location where you can find it easily after you restart your computer. For example, save it on your Windows desktop.
Step 2. Run the uninstaller
Double-click the icon of the uninstaller that downloaded to your computer.
Follow the prompts. If you see the message "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?," click Yes.
Delete Flash Player files and folders.
(more in depth directions with pictures can be found here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_t he_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller )
Step 3. Installing a working version of Adobe Flash Player Flash Player 15.0.0.152 (Win Firefox and Mac) (132 MB)
Direct Link http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_15.0.0.152_archive.zi p
Save the file in a location where you can find it easily example, save it on your Windows desktop.
Step 4. Unzip the file to your desktop if you do not know how to unzip a file you can google it. Or you can download a free app called winzip or winrar are well known apps.
After you have unzipped the file you should be left with a folder called "fp_15.0.0.152_archive" open the folder and find the folder named "15_0_r0_152" ignore the folder that says debug on it.
When you are insde the "15_0_r0_152" folder double click the file flashplayer15_0r0_152_win.exe it will be the red box there will be 3 red box icons its the top one you want to install.
After you complete this action you have the choices to let adobe automatically update your flash player we recommend you say no to this then click finish. Now restart your pc and log into SL and it should be working 100% again.
Notes:
15.0.0.152 is the latest working version of Adobe Flash Player that we know of atm if there is a new version out please let us know.
You may update your flash player and see if it is working on the latest version we recommend you check each month at least one time to see if they have done updates to the software.
If it breaks again you will need to follow these steps again until they fix there code. Some times they fix the code by the next update some times they take a month or more just depends on the people at adobe that are releasing these bad versions of Flash.
Link to Flash Archive http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
So i am wondering can some one pass this to a tech person to fix the current code what ever was in 15_0_r0_152 and before worked great now it don't work at all this is not some noob talking this has been tested on over 80+ different computers if not more 80 or more people have contacted me alone on the issue as i know it is one and to be honest i am getting sick of waiting on adobe to fix there code so please send this to the right department to see if they can fix there code and not let it fall on deaf ears. Or give me the exact reason why the new code does not work but the old code does work and i will see if i can fix it but i would rather it be fixed by Adobe as there are many people that want it fixed thank you.
Sincerely,
Deviant Taurus
PS. This happened about 3 years ago and was fixed with the next update i do not recall the version number but you guys have been releasing many new versions and it is still broken please help me and many others put this problem to rest,

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time I try install the new player it is place in my Trash Folder and I can not get Player to work. I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly. Can some help me. Bob

Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

How can I download an old version of Flash?

The newest version of Flash broke my billing system back
office. The developers of this billing system are based overseas
and are extremely unreliable so I cannot depend on them to fix this
in a timely manner. It could be 2 days or 2 months. I just don't
know.
In other words, the newest version of flash broke the program
I need to do my job. I need to rollback to a previous version as
soon as possible.
I found a file on this forum called "fp9_archive.zip" which
contains old versions of flash. However, everytime I try to install
any version besides 9r124. I get this error:
"MessageBox: 12582960,"The version of Adobe® Flash®
Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most
current version.
Please visit
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
to obtain the latest, most secure version."
Please help me! I am not a developer or an IT guy. I am just
an accountant who foolishly clicked "update flash" when I was
spammed to update it. Now I am banging my head against the wall
because there are no clear and concise directions on how to roll it
back.

Jason,
I am no expert but I was looking to solve a problem I have
and I ran accross information that may help you.
How to get previous versions of Flash Player (Note: Adobe
supports and recommends the latest Flash Player.)
If you are a Flash developer and require a previous version
of Flash Player for testing detection schemes, refer to "Archived
Flash Players available for testing purposes" (
TechNote
tn_14266).
Adobe has made these archived players available for download
at the request of the Flash developer community. Adobe Technical
Support does not provide support for the installation or use of
these old players. These are not intended for general use.
The following may help you solve your problem.
Error while installing older version: The version of Adobe Flash
Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most
current version
If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
9,0,115,0, and attempted to install version 9,0,47,0 the
installation would fail. In this case follow the instructions in
"Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash Player"
TechNote
kb402435).
Here is more information I found about unistalling that may help
you.
But I would try TechNote kb402435 above first because it
looks like it is directly related to your problem.
Uninstall all previous versions.
Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser,
uninstall all previous versions. For instructions on removing the
player, please see "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in
and ActiveX control" (
TechNote
14157).
Note: All applications must be closed before you run the
Flash Player uninstaller. Quit all running applications, including
all Internet Explorer or other browser windows, and all Instant
Messenger clients. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
certain no applications which might possibly use Flash Player are
still in memory.
Good luck.
Regards,
Bob

Can't install debug version of flash player

I have the Design Premium CS5 suite installed on the laptop I am using, which I have rented from my uni as my own was unstable.
I have got admin rights, and I installed Flash Builder 4.
When I tried to debug code, I got the following error [IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/hu3w3r.png[/IMG].
So I followed the link on the error message and downloaded from [url]http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html[/url]. I downloaded the Windows Flash Player 10.3 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 3.22MB)
Even after running it, the debug won't work and I can't view the image the sample code is supposed to display. Is there a better version?
I'm running a laptop with Vista. I saw someone had success with installing safari and chrome during my searches for a solution. I usually run firefox. I have installed both safari and chrome, but don't see how this can help me yet.
I found the following solution on this site: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/831/cpsid_83106.html, but I can't find the INSTALL_DIRECTORY on this laptop. The CS5 is installed as follows: [IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/1zcl1g2.jpg[/IMG]. If I right click on Flash, I can't see how to select a player or to even see which player it is set for.
I also found a page on this site which checks what version of flash you have, and I have 10,3,181,34 with no debug. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a debug version with no success.
I am new to developing as it is for a project. I'm creating an Augmented Reality app to display on my website, with a downloadable marker. Is there a way to continue with developing but not using the debug function?
If you can help I'd be very grateful.

Install the Windows Flash Player 10.3 Plugin content debugger and see if that helps.
You can proceed without debug by just double clicking the html file in bin-debug.

How to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) ?

Hi,
    System Specification :
    -XP with SP3
    -MS Office 2003
    -Flash V.10
    -Xcelsius Engage 2008 ( 5.3.0.0 )
    -Xcelsius Build number 12,3,0,670
   When I export output in swf format then xcelsius generating swf file of version 9. I want to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) . I tried to install older versions of flash to do this but I am not able to open xcelsius in older version. I am getting error saying 'Install latest flash player'.
Is there any way to export swf files in different versions?
Is this build is compatible with only flash 10?
Thanks,
Ganesh

Xcelsius only support Flash version from 9 on. There is no way to export to 6,7 or 8.

New version of Flash not working with FF on XP.

Last week I installed the latest update for FF on my computer which is running XP. Next day I installed the latest version of Flash and immediately all audio feeds started to 'stutter' and echo, making listening impossible.
I followed all the instructions from FF to clear up Flash problems, uninstalled and re-installed Flash to no effect.
I finally switched back to an older version of Flash and the problem resolved. There doesn't seem to be any info at Adobe about this problem.
So now I'm stuck with the older Flash 10, which works fine, but I'd like to solve the problem.
(I inadvertently asked this question on a Windows 7 discussion thread earlier, so now I'm asking again with the right info. Thanks)

There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
Please post back with your results.
