Test player detection IE7 without uninstalling flash

Hello all, I'm trying to test Falsh Player detection code.
Trying to see if there's a way to test IE7 without uninstalling the
Flash player.... I'd like to see what it looks like to users
without the correct version of Flash...
Anyway, want to temporarily turn off Flash in a page so I can
see what it looks like to non-flash player 8 users?
thanks!
btw - using the Flash Detection Kit...

Go to windows32 and look for macromed folder, just rename it,
restart browser
and you won't have the player anymore, test it, rename it
back.

  • How can I get BBC i player to work without adobe flash player?

    I cannot get BBC I player to function without adobe flash player and this will not work on my I pad. So what next ?

    There is a BBC iPlayer app in the app store : http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bbc-iplayer/id416580485?mt=8

  • Stop Adobe Flash Player installation prompts without installing Flash

    I don't want to install Adobe Flash Player on my MBP, but am frequently using Safari to visit pages that contain non-essential content (eg charts) delivered via Flash. Each time I visit one of these pages, I therefore get a pop-up dialog box prompting me to install version [whatever or newer] of Flash. Each time, I have to click "cancel" on the dialog box in order to continue browsing.
    Is there a way to stop these dialog boxes from appearing without having to install Flash? I suspect that I may be able to stop the boxes from appearing if I DO install Flash and then disable the plugin (clarification on this would also be helpful), but I am keen to learn whether I can avoid having to install Flash at all in the first place and still avoid the issue of constant installation prompts.
    I've already tried checking the Safari options box to disable plugins (even though there aren't any at present), btw, but the issue persists.

    I've heard at least one report that this might be caused by a Flash ad that was requesting a version of Flash Player that didn't exist.  Could you try clearing your browser and Flash Player cache to see if this still occurs?
    How do I clear my Flash Player cache and settings?
    We've been trying to discover what version of the installer is being run when this occurs.  Would you be willing to take a short video of this occurring so we can see what's happening? 
    Finally, could you post the contents of your flashinstall.log file for us to review?
    Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How do I stop a flash player from running without disabling flash

    I'm finding more site running flash player insets with no way to kill the program except by disabling flash player. this is a royal pain having to continually disable and enable flash. is there any way to kill the player when there are no buttons or links to stop or kill the player?

    Good evening!
    Google Ads is used by plenty of services, and in the case of YouTube, is in fact owned by Google.
    Usually there is an 'x' somewhere that will make it disappear, and I think there are some good add-ons that you can use to block those ads if they are bothersome to you.

  • Possible to uninstall Flash Player for specific browser with Uninstaller program?

    Greetings,
    I'm using a domain login script to deploy Flash Player across 400 or so PCs. Currently the script is set up to run the Flash Player Uninstaller executable prior to running the IE Flash Player Installer executable. The problem with this is that the Uninstaller seems to uninstall Flash Player versions regardless of browser type, whereas the installer is always for a particular browser.
    Specifically, in our environment our supported browser is IE, but we allow users to run other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome (but they must apply security updates themselves). When we deploy a new login script to install the latest version of Flash Player, the typical user will be unaffected because they use only IE. However, users running Firefox will suddenly be unable to use flash after the Flash Player installer script is run.
    So is it possible to use the Flash Player Uninstaller program to uninstall Flash Player for only a specific browser? Alternatively, will Flash Player uninstall cleanly (and the keyword is _cleanly_) if the installer is run without using the Uninstaller program?
    Thank you in advance for your reply.

    You may get a more official reply from Adobe here.
    To the best of my knowledge your observation is correct: the uninstaller tool will always uninstall all installed versions (ActiveX 32-bit, ActiveX 64-bit, plugin 32-bit, plugin 64-bit).
    From my experience, the uninstaller from Control Panel will uninstall cleanly - as long as no browser is running during the uninstall.  With cleanly I mean that no files are left behind; I have no knowledge if there are registry entries left behind (with the uninstaller tool, or with the Control Panel uninstaller).
    For your specific problem: why don't you always install both the ActiveX and plugin for all users? The plugin is just a single dll that is added to the install folder (two, respectively, on 64-bit systems).

  • Flash Player 9 Crashes Without An Error Message

    Hello,
    Since I downloaded the latest update of Flash Player 9
    (december 2007?), my problems started. Flash Player 9 crashes (IE7)
    without an error message at sites like:
    Zoo Tycoon.com
    My own site
    And many more.
    To give you guys as much information as possible about the
    problem:
    - The first site shouldn't give a warning, and it didn't,
    till I downloaded the update of Flash Player 9. It now looks like
    this >
    Screen
    - The second site is my own site, which should look like this
    >
    Screen
    (Screen is made at an older PC, which hasn't got the update of FP9
    installed!)
    - It now looks like this>
    Screen
    (Screen is made at my current PC, Windows XP with the update
    installed.)
    - I also can't upload pictures at some sites, because they
    require Flash >
    Screen
    - Adobe says I've succesfully installed the latest version of
    Flash Player, version 9.0.115.0 >
    Screen
    My system is:
    - Microsoft Windows XP
    - Home Edition
    - Version 2002
    - Service Pack 2
    - Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz
    - Clock Rate 3.01GHz, 1.50GB
    - Internet Explorer 7
    I'm now forced to use an older machine, Windows 2000, to
    update my site and view other sites, because that PC doesn't have
    the Flash Player update installed. ;)
    Things I tried to solve the problem:
    - Uninstall and reinstall
    - Read and tried all the Troubleshooters at this site
    - Adobe's uninstall program
    - SubInACL
    - Installed an older version of Flash Player (7 & 8)
    - Regedit
    - Manually renamed the files in the SYSTEM32/Macromed/Flash
    folder (like explained on the forum)
    Could someone please help me? I'm probably not the only one
    dealing with this problem...
    Regards,
    Sophie
    P.S.: I'm Dutch, so please don't mind my English....
    :)

    Is there no-one who knows the answer? And nobody who has the
    same problem? :(

  • Flash Player Detection

    I am trying to implement flash player detection using the
    Flash Player Detection Kit - the actionscript way ie. using
    the 'flash_detection.as' and the 'flash_detection.swf', (not
    forgetting the 'update_flash.html' file also! )
    I put the swf onto my 'index.html' - it being the first page
    that is accessed when anyone goes onto our site - and I altered the
    .as file to direct users once they had installed FPlayer8 to a page
    called trueindex.html ( which was a copy of index.html without the
    flash_detection.swf on it )
    All that happened when it had installed flash player 8 was to
    keep going back to index.html over and over again!
    Because of a desire to sort out flash player detection issues
    previously, I had already changed the code on index.html to include
    the java script stuff to check for version 8 ( you could look at
    the source code on the index page )
    I'm just a little clueless as what to do now - my main desire
    is to let the un-initiated install the flash player ver8 without
    having to restart their PC or do a lot of messing about!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Active X and Flash Player Detection

    I am using the newe Flash Player Detection generated from
    Flash 8 to look for Flash 6 or higher. It all works well when
    tested until one user decided to remove the Active X control for
    Flash but leave the Flash Player installed. When he came back to
    the page he was able to see the Flash content.
    1. Why can the Flash Content be viewed if the Active X is not
    available?
    2. Is the Active X just used in the installation of the Flash
    Player?
    Thanks.

    What does that mean .. how can he remove the flash player
    leave it
    installed.. it makes no sense.
    Unless, of course, he was using a browser other than IE (eg
    FireFox) which
    uses the Flash Player control add-on (Firefox et al do not
    use ActiveX)
    > When he came back to the page he was able to see the
    Flash content.
    > 1. Why can the Flash Content be viewed if the Active X
    is not available?
    If you use a browser that does not use activex controls, then
    the presence
    of the activex version of the player makes no difference.
    > 2. Is the Active X just used in the installation of the
    Flash Player?
    no

  • Can't install/uninstall Flash Player?

    Having some serious difficulty here with Flash. Firstly whenever I open a busy webpage that's running flash, my browser will immidiately crash (no rhyme intended)
    I've been scouring the FAQ's as well as Google to find a solution and so far the majority of responses have been something along the lines of "uninstall it and then reinstall it". So I've tried doing that, only problem is that the install/uninstall manager also keeps crashing for me. So essentially I can't install, I can't uninstall.. and I can't currently view pages with copious amounts of flash (for more than a couple of seconds anyways) without it crashing.
    Was really hoping somebody could help me, though I'm sure you'll need some information from me before you can give me an answer, so rather than filling up this whole discussion with information you may or may not need, but if you ask for some specific things I'll be sure to reply quickly
    P.S sorry there is little to none formatting - not particuarly in the mood to make things look pretty at the moment

    Flash Player plug-in not enabled can also be a reason.
    In Firefox, could you please check if Flash Player pug-in is enabled? Click Tools > Add-ons > Plugins.
    Do you see Shockwave Flash?
    Are you downloading Flash Player from the Adobe site? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Could you please do the following:
    Right-click the downloaded file > Show Package Contents.
    Go to the Content > Resource folder and double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file.

  • I cannot open without adobe flash player, is there a work around?

    Go to the App Store and download a browser app like Puffin, which will give you some Flash ability.  Check the App store to see if the site you are trying to watch the video from has an App. 

  • Need help uninstalling Flash Player to do a clean install.

    Hi,
    I'm feeling pretty stupid now, since I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
    I'm running Windows 7/ 64 bit. I've got Flash player version 11.1.102.63
    I'm having Spotify problems, and Spotify support asked me to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player before reinstalling Spotify. But I can't seem to get the blessed thing to uninstall.
    I'm following the directions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    I've killed everything killable on the toolbar. I've checked with Task Manager to see if any applications are running (none are). There are still processes running I've run the uninstaller in Administration mode and in user mode and in every mode I can think of, but when I restart after uninstalling, I've still got the Flash Player installed-- same version. I get no error messages when I run it, it just (apparently) doesn't work.)
    Any ideas? Any stupid mistakes I might be making?
    Thanks!
    Cheryl

    Hi,
    Google Chrome pre-installs the Flash Player in their browser.  That is why it is showing as installed in the screen-shot you posted.  Firefox does not pre-install Flash Player.  You didn't specify how you uninstalled Flash Player.  Did you use the Flash Player entry in the Control Panel or the uninstaller?  The uninstaller will uninstall all versions of Flash Player on the system, except for the version pre-installed with Google Chrome, however, you can disable that by navigating to chrome://plugins.  You may need to click on the '+' sign next to 'details' in the upper right to view all installed plugins.

  • I have finally uninstalled Flash Player !

    Hi
    My OS : Widows 7 32bits + all updates
    My IE version : 10 + all updates
    My Flash Player version : 11.7.700.202
    I have finally uninstalled Flash Player because it slows down browsing with IE10 too much.
    Each time I install Flash Player : IE10 slows down
    Each time I UNinstall Flash Player becomes ligtning fast
    I cannot live with that !
    I uninstalled Flash Player and I will not look back until there is an adequate solution to this problem.

    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    1.)      Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    2.)      Download the stand-alone installer from  http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
