Text in Flash Player looks crap only on my computer

Hi there, i have a news section on my website (not yet live)
that has been designed in flash. The rest of the text on the site
is in HTML. The text in the flash section looks really bad on my
screen. Some of the text is thick and blurry and some is thin and
none of it looks like the HTML text (although it is all arial).
After some testing on both Mac and PC i have discovered it only
looks like this on my computer! Flash Player works fine on other
websites. Does anyone know if there are some local Flash Player
settings i can change or if there is anything else i am missing?
Obviously this is only a problem when i am showing my website
to someone on my computer (a possible scenario as i am a designer
and it contains my portfolio).
My computer is a Mac Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz PowerPC 1GB DDR
SDRAM
Browser is Safari and i have Flash Player 9 installed (i have
tried uninstalling and reinstalling)
Thanks

Hi tu meke,
With Flash you can embed the fonts using the Property
Inspector. For example, select Arial and choose Embed and Auto
Fill. This will guarantee that the fonts look the same on all
systems, however it will add to the file size.
If you would prefer not to embed the fonts for some reason,
here is another thought. The difference that you are noticing may
be due to the Fonts Smoothing Style selected on your Macintosh.
Open System Preferences and select Appearance. At the bottom, you
can change the Font smoothing style. Try changing this setting and
see if it helps.

How do i set up flash player to run only the audio files

How do I set up the flash player to run only audio files? Every time i set up I tunes to work,, the flash player takes over all files that it wants and I cannont see my files for work. I want it to only auto run audio files and not my GIF's, & TIFF files.

Well I had a terrible brain burp!,, I ment to say Quick Time. In my business I have to go back at times and view TIFF files. Every since I installed ITunes on my new computer... Quick Time opens the files where MS Photo Viewer used to, and I can only see page 1 in Quick Time. This is a problem for me as the only way I can view my TIFF files is to save them to my desk top and then open them in MS Photo Viewer. Then I have to delete them after viewing.. I view files several times a day and this extra step has become a very larg pain in the fanny.
Thanks

Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

I have windows vista. When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...). I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website. I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times. It even shows up in my list of programs. But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it. Very frustrating. And suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

This was very helpful - thank you. I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE. a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself! Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward. Thanks!

I am using Windows 7 and using IE 10, I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer

Hi I am using Windows 7 and IE 10 and I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer, even with a fresh install. The same thing is happening on my laptop and is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem. I have tried some suggested fixes from this forum with still no results. Thanks.

Make sure that you allow Firefox in your security software (firewall).
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Is Flash Player 11.7 Suitable for my computer?

I have a 32bit Windows XP Professional Computer.
Is Flash Player 11.7 suitable for my computer?

Yes, your machine meets the system requirements.

Problem with Arabic text with flash player 10 32bit under linux platforms

Arabic encoding characters do not show correct in the right form at all linux distributions .
note: with windows platforms, it shows arabic characters correctly.
this video contains captions and subtitles, in the attachement two snapshots,
First, show the arabic sentences in the right form with "swfdec mozilla" plugins.
The other, show the arabic words with "adobe flash player 32bit" plugins,
for example: Arabic font enconding cp-1256
the character ب
in the beginning of the word " بـ ".
in the middle " ـبـ "
at the end "ـب"
isolated character "not in word "ب"
the word
كتب in the right form
begin from right with " كـ "
with adobe flash player
ب ت ك
it shows from left to right and use only isolated characters.
I report to adobe and they response
Hi Ghost,
Since you do not have a 64 bit machine please proceed to reinstall the
32 bit edition.
For the current release version of Flash player 10, it does support
Right to left, But you can’t use a text field on stage and have it
work. When authoring the content in Flash cs4, you would have to use
the Flash text engine. more information on that can be found here:

I too am having this problem. On all of my linux distributions, including Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, knoppix 5,1, fedora 8,9,10 flashplayer 10 is broken in the same way. It reports that it cannot find webcam, and the settings dialog refuses to recognize mouse clicks. I've poked around the web quite a bit and have not yet found a solution. I saw the problem mentioned on an adobe bug reporting site and their response was to close the issue saying it wasn't repeatable on their system. I tried to re-open it and my post was deleted without comment (I may have posted incorrectly or something)
Looking here and elsewhere I see that the problem is very common and I don't see any posted bug-fixes, or even acknowledgement that a bug exists. Has adobe lost interest in being cross-platform compatible?

Missing Text in Flash Player

Ive recently had an issue where every flash applications that has text is missing its text, or is somehow invisible. The video quality button in youtube videos has invisible text, and I cannot scroll around videos properly anymore because the button itself seems to cover up play button and the slider. In myspace music players, none of the text shows up. Ive tested this with many facebook appsas well, and an app such as FarmVille has text missing entirely. Checking stats on my band's facebook page, text is missing and eventhe graph itself is invisible, and this is extremely important that I see this information. This seems to be user specific on my computer because, when I log in as a guest, flash works properly. Ive tried to uninstall/reinstall numerous times to no avail. Is there a fix for this or a corrupted file? Thanks!
Im including a picture of what this look likes.

Hi Amotois, On the Flash forum there are not too many users of Mac and that is why you aren't getting a reply. I understand Flash Player, etc. but not Mac.
If you have a good understanding of the files and location of them in your Mac, I could possibly relate what you should
have installed regarding Flash Player. However, if you don't and I don't, then it would be like the blind leading the blind:-)
I also notice others on your thread that have Macs, so that would apply to them also. All I know about a Mac is that there is a library and a finder, so as you can see my knowledge is very limited.
Just thought I'd reply so you would understand why you are not getting a response. What I would suggest to anyone with
Flash Player issues with a Mac, to be sure to put that in your thread when you start one. That way anyone that would be able to help would see that. As it is, they don't know the thread is about Mac and probably pass over it. Just a FYI.
Thanks,

Problem with displaying text in flash player

I have flash player 10.2.152.26 and opera 11.01 installed.
The problem is that text in flash is diplayed in an awful way like this:
http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6918/alljo.png
And when i choose "settings" the window appears, but it doesn't react when I click on it.
Can anyone help, please?

Thanks for answering
So you have IE8 and the hardware acceleration was able to be UNchecked and FP(Flash Player) is working properly with IE.
In IE flash works fine with any settings.
When I unchecked "Hardware acceleration" checbox in IE it also became unchecked in opera, but nothing changed in opera's behavior.
When you don't use the Aero it's displayed correctly but the settings do not work. What settings are you referring to?
It's about flash settings in Opera
With aero: http://img443.imageshack.us/i/settingsh.png/
Without aero: http://img816.imageshack.us/i/settingswoaero.png/
In both cases the settings dialog is displayed like in the screenshots above, but when I click on checkbox/tabs/'close' button in it nothing happens. I can't change any settings or close it (dialog disappers only after reloading page)
Just to sum up everything mentioned above:
- In IE flash works fine regardless of any settings
- In Opera text is displayed wrong when using windows aero, and without aero theme it's displayed correct
- I didn't manage to make settings dialog work in Opera
- When I change some flash settings in IE, they are also changed in Opera
Now Flash Player works thru the browser, do you have perhaps have an addon that is conflicting? What Anti-Virus do you have Installed? Any addons of that?
I have 7 extensions installed in Opera, I've disabled all of them, but nothing changed.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, disabling it also gives nothing.

Invisible Text in Flash Player Using Windows XP

I seem to have a problem with the Flash Player and invisible text. The Flash Player will load but there will be some buttons that are not labeled with text, so you don’t know what the buttons are, fill-in text boxes that have no text or text description, so you don’t know what to type in them, and drop-down lists that are blank, but there is supposed to be text to select from.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox, that did nothing; unistalled the Shockwave Flash Plug-in and reinstalled it, that did nothing; unistalled Flash and Shockwave standalone Players entirely, leaving only the Plug-in, nothing; uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player standalone, nothing there either. I cannot seem to find a solution and every browser I have, the same problem occurs – invisible text.
I was reading on the Adobe Forum that there is this same issue sometimes with Mac and that the problem seems to be font incompatibility.
This happens with any browser I use – Firefox, Flock, PaleMoon, IE, Opera, Netscape.
My OS is Windows XP Home Edition
Main browser is FireFox version 3.6.17
Shockwave Flash Plug-in version is 10.3.183.7
I also have the Shockwave Player standalone version 11.6.1.629
Has anyone, using Windows, had this same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks for any advice.

Invisible text in Flash enabled web pages is a frustrating problem that is affecting Mac Users who play Farm Town (8.5+ million people on FaceBook) and probably many other games too. See this forum as an example of the problem: http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2531318
Before even reading this forum I did everything that appears here with no success and then everything listed in the referenced forum (above) with no success... but the following did fix the invisible text problem and I hope that it will help others too.
1. Drag the Font folder from the User directory to the trash ie. ~/Library/Fonts. (where ~ is = your User Account Name.)
Be careful; this is NOT the Font folder in the main library.
2. Download Font Finagler v1.5 beta for Mac OS 6, and clean the font cashe files following the instructions for this free shareware app.
http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/
3. Open the Font Book app which is a new app that is included with the Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6). (Font Book is in the Applications folder.) Read the Help info for this app and then: Choose "All Fonts" in the left column and then choose "Select Duplicate Fonts" from the Edit menu. Disable or delete all duplicate fonts that this process identifies. After dealing with the duplicate fonts, select "All Fonts" again in the left column and choose "Validate Fonts" from the File Menu. Deal with the results that it will display using the help file for guidance. Interestingly, in my case there were no corrupt fonts in my Mac system, but the validation process identified more duplicate fonts that the previous step did not find. Again deal with the findings and disable or delete the duplicate fonts.
4. Reboot your Mac and get on with using your Flash enabled web pages. Duplicate fonts seems to be the problem that cause invisible text in Flash enabled web pages.
Hope this helps you... it worked for me.

Is There a Compact version Of..flash player.? only for games.?

Greetings. towards Support. of the this flash Program.
forgiven me, for asking..
I know. The flash player is, made for a large amount,
different users. around the world, and also. made for. different
functions. but I, keep seeing, ( as what I know from. video-Game supporting programs)
That the adobe, flash player. Is not really made for. flash - Gaming..
And I have been taking your software apart. literal!!
and I have seen from with in, your software. That your. program deals with a lot.
Of Functions. but Its most for adding and Chancing video. programs
In to, a flashing form. of program, but I have not seen a Part where
There is. a supporting Part, for (DX)=(Direct X - any version) even I'm
Missing. (windows extensive service.) because when loading a Flash Game.
from any website. I see only some, extensive program is load it. but I see, no..
basic. support with, part being used.. nor There Is none. I, have found..Maybe,
I have overlook, some part's but yet. If you program, don't come with basic download..
(nor That might take longer to download. for any User.)
but Its highly in-portent for a User. To having also. a basic Part..
with in there own system, and not Sub-file
because a Sub-file do, make the program more unstable. The stable.
A, example, ad hand.. (Imvu Program) Is a Sub Program very nice 3D chat program,
But yet, with many times Failer..to become active on, any system windows or,

(DX versions)
Greetings Lisomi

We have a Flash Projector that can be used to play Flash content (.swf files) on a local computer. This is used frequently in kiosks and interactive displays, but requires the SWF to run.
Alternatively, if you are an application developer looking to build a standalone game, you can use Adobe AIR to build mobile applications, while still using ActionScript.

Invisible Text in Flash Player on Financial Website

Just spent an hour on the phone with one of my financial sites on which I can no longer see some important text. They tried everything, none of which worked, and concluded it must be incompatibility of the adobe flash and Snow Leopard. It started right after installation of Snow Leopard. I've since learned that others have this problem too. Any suggestions on how to get this fixed? What can I do?

It's great that you've isolated the problem to the User account.
You can usually just drag a plist or sub-folder of preferences to your desktop and an application will replace the missing preference file automatically as needed. You can delete the files when the problem is fixed.
In your User folder which is often represented in a path as a ~ character there are several Flash related locations.
~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player
You can dump the cache to see if it's causing a problem.
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player
Here, there are several folders like #Security, #Shared Objects, etc. You can move these folders to the desktop and see if the problem goes away.
~/Library/Preferences/Flash 10 MRU
Move the file to the desktop.
If you move the folders to your desktop, you could put them back if desired.
If you remove all of these references from your machine and have to reinstall flash, that's a good thing, but not a usual occurrence for programs like this.
You might have other preference files that I don't have on my system, and I might have older files laying around in mine because they haven't been noticed as a problem. Typically these files are so small, that they don't matter to anyone.
Hope this helps. Preference files can be challenging to isolate.

Capture text in flash player streaming video

is there a program that would be able to capture the text in the steamaing flash player and store it as text file?
thanks

I have the same problem. Its the same issue in Firefox and Chrome but it is fine in IE.
I've already uninstalled all flash aspects, disabled all plugins and removed / re-added firefox.
I get the blue text on certain flash objects and not others. For example. If I try and view the video on this page: http://www.lexus.co.uk/drum-roll/index.aspx
Both the second counter and the Google Ad that drops down is blue and almost unreadabel. But If I go to the YouTube site and watch the same video I dont get the blue. Weird!
Anyone any ideas?

When i try to down load the updated version of flash player it will only save and not run...please help

Can not down load up date for flash player..I tried removing my original flash player and this did not work...and now i have no flask player! A firefox window opens for down load and only reads "save" or "cancel" it does not have a "RUN" button. When I double click on the saved document it does not down load. Now what can I do??

You can find the latest Flash player here:
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Try to run the Flash installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
See also:
* http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
* http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that helps to install Flash.

No sound with Flash Player (on line only) on Vista

No sound with Flash Player on both IE and Firefox online

On local hard disk, all is OK.
The firefox "about:cache" command on the mp3 file info says :
Data size: 0 and in IE it's the same
Thanks

Ditto with me. No sound with Flash Player in both IE and
Firefox. Sound works with other applications.
