Visibility on all windows in Flash

Is there a way to turn off this annoying visibility issue
when you drag a window in Flash? It’s jumpy, slow and just
plain hard to look at.
Thanks

Hi there
You are wanting a custom window? If so, you will either need to use JavaScript and script the call yourself or use the WebHelp API (which is really just a JavaScript file).
The first method would provide a single window, as it simply opens the topic page in the browser.

All app windows randomly flash in global repaint

As with many Swing apps I've used, the windows in my app are possessed with some impulse to convulsively repaint their entire contents at random times. This seems to happen most often when a significant paint task is dispatched in one of the windows. The convulsive repaint occurs in all of the app's visible windows, even where a window's contents have not changed in any way. The worst case is when I drag a scrollbar quickly -- it's as if the paint manager is suddenly bewildered by the mouse activity, and dispatches the insidious "paint gray" event to all windows, followed by the normal paint routine in all windows.
I'm very tired of watching my windows flash gray, then casually roll down their buffered contents. Somebody please help!
1) Is there any way to prevent Swing from painting my window gray before invoking the usual painting of contents? I never ever ever want to see my window turn plain gray. Never!
2) Or, can I control the repaint event, so that it is restricted to invocation on windows whose contents have changed? I see no reason to repaint window A in response to a scroll event somewhere in window B. ...it's times like this I wonder if Swing is secretly the result of a high school outreach program.
Many thanks for your help!

Part of what causes this is the vast size that even a simple java program takes up in memory due to the size of the JRE.

There is no want to prevent this from ever happening, but you can make it occur less often by
1. Doing all of your painting to ImageBuffers and just drawing those in your paint method(s)
2. Setting an upper limit to Java's memory that is conservative and automatically restarting it when you get an OutOfMemoryError
of contents? I never ever ever want to see my window

Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.

Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

Flash CS6 Quitting on closing all windows??

Why does Flash CS6 (and muse) quit as soon as you close all windows in that program - unlike other CS software which remain open when not in use? I'm on a Macbook pro (running 10.6.8). I have loads of memory left. The trial version also did this (but I assumed it was just because it was a trial). Now downlaoded through Cloud membership. Its really time wasting (and a bit irritating) - can someone help?
Other programs run fine. People on here have mentioned closing tabs - not the window - but I don't want the window constantly open.
Any help much appreciated

Hi lozin!
Here are utilities to manipulate the volume of the Startup Chime.
Psst
Startup Chime Stopper
StartupSound.prefPane 1.0.4
But, it should also be mentioned, that several troubleshooting procedures, instruct one to press certain key combinations, before or after the Startup Chime has sounded.
Just a couple are, resetting the PRAM or Firmware.
The Startup Chime is an alert, that on startup, some internal tests have been performed, and the Mac has passed them.
If you haven't silenced it, and you start up your Mac, and don't hear it, it may be a signal that something may be amiss.

Ubuntu 10.11 through 10.04. Installed Flash-Aid 2.2.1. If multiple Firefox windows open any attempt to shut a one window, extinguish all windows. But they stay in the background to work invisible.

''After installed ubuntu 10.11 through 10.04, whenever you try to close a window of Firefox, they close all that were open, but only become invisible and continue to work somewhere in the background. If you see a pop-up as the new window and if I want to close it on an simple button "X" then they are all close.
After killing over Terminal and restarts a firefox window, re-engage all windows that have been worked in the background but they are now visible. And again it is impossible to kill only one windows. Help !!!!!!!!

In case anyone reads this, I managed to burn my CD by changing the speed of the burn in iTunes. It was set on Maximum possible and I noticed from the CD Diagnostic report (see previous article) that the speed of the drive was listed as 16, but the burn had failed at 24x, so I reduced it to 12 to be safe, and it worked. It plays okay in the car but I have noticed that when I restart the player, it doesn't seem to recognise the CD and ejects it so that I have to push it back in, and it then starts at track 1 again. Not sure if this is to do with the way it was burned, but at least its playing the tracks!

Make Flash Animation visible without its window being visible.

How do I configure my Flash Animation so that it is visible and running without its window being visible?
The window background must be invisible too.
This will run on the desktop not on a website.
thanks Ned
My .fla is attached...

hey, thanks for the reply but that isn't the issue. my issue is that the animation doesn't stay within the div container. I tried what you said via chrome console but that's more of a hack way of doing it. I should be able to contain the animation within the div that its being wrapped with but for some reason it is jumping outside the div container.
Does that make sense? Would be awesome if there was a walkthrough on how the edge animation settings worked. for example the code below. would i need to adjust something below for it to contstrain within the container?
    scaleToFit: "both",
    centerStage: "both",
    minW: "320",
    maxW: "1200",
    width: "830",
    height: "430"
}, {"dom":{}}, {"style":{"${symbolSelector}":{"isStage":"true","rect":["320px","1200px","830px","430px"] ,"fill":["rgba(255,255,255,1)"]}},"dom":{}});

Can I run adobe flash on ALL window 8 devices?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if I can run flash on ALL windows 8 devices including the new nokia lumia W8 phablet devices and also ALL other W8 tablets made by different manufacturers?
ie the devices listed here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/tablets
and here:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb?ocid=WPUKFY141020SEMBRAND
Any ideas?
Thanks,
jd

Even if you can get it to install, you really shouldn't use Flash Player on a tablet or phone. Apple knew eight years ago, that Flash was bad for mobile devices. Playing Flash videos drains batteries because it uses so much processor. That drain also shortens battery life in the mobile device(s).
There are alternatives. I see a lot about "Flash Lite" (NOT an Adobe product), and several Windows phone forums recommend it. Adobe is just about done with any and all support for mobile platforms, though.

How to delete "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" in History?

I use 5.0.4 in 'Private Browsing', but the above mentioned pull down choice in 'History' still remains active, and leaves my history visible for prying eyes.
Where is the cache for "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" located? I could not find it in Safari Library. Or is there another way to manually or automatically delete the contents of this file?
Thanks,
PP

Hi,
Go to ~/Library/Safari. (Tilde) character represents the Home folder)
Move the LastSession.plist file to the Trash.
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari. Try Private Browsing. You may have an Extension that's causing the problem.
I don't know of any way to "auto" delete the .plist file but someone else might know of a Terminal command.

Re-size all windows?

Let's say I have a bunch of open windows on my desktop, and they're all overlapping each other.
When I use Expose's F9 to show all windows, it takes every open window on my desktop and arranges them so I can see them all at once. But it's just an illusion. As soon as I select one, the windows go back to their original "all over each other" position.
Is there some way - maybe a 3rd party app - so I can actually move and re-size all the windows in one feel swoop so that they're all separated and none is covering another?

LOL. I know how to resize a window. I'm simply trying to find out if there's a way to do it to arrange them all at once so they're all visible at the same time, and I can work on them.
no there isn't. exposé provides a number of other ways to work with multiple windows.

Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content.

Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content. If I disable the flash plugin there is no hanging but obviously no flash content either. I have tried all the suggested actions found in the help sections for hanging and plugin problems. The Honda UK site listed below is one of many I am unable to access with flash enabled.

The key here will be to determine what is different between the machines that work and those that hang. Of all the systems that fail, they are all Windows 7 32bit?
Yep, this issue only happens on Windows 7 32-bit machines, currently 6.
Do you have any 32bit systems that don't fail?
Yep, the most Windows 7 32-bit machines wont fail.
What about hardware, are there similarities here? Attached devices/drivers? Software that is running at the time?
These machines are all from DELL. They all have normal hardware, nothing special. Other machines from same type does not affected. Software: All have standard software distributed via Software-distribution (GPO). Only some PCs have special software, but it is not running. No special drives, too.
Maybe try booting Windows in safe mode to see if it still hangs?
Good idea, indeed - I will try this.
We're definitely interested in what's going on. I'll ask our security and Mozilla folks to see if they have additional clues.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Safe mode: Flash is working! (without disabled Protected Mode!)
I've set msconfig now to: Custom system start and deselected the boxes to load systemservices and system start elements.
So, now windows does a non-safe mode boot but no service or element was loaded except the drivers (right?). Flash is not working with this config!
So, whats the difference between safe mode and normal boot with minimal configuration (see attached picture).
Only drivers will be loaded, right? If so, I can exclude the network and graphics driver as source: graphics driver are updated right now and network was working in safe-mode.
Any new ideas?

Can't minimize all windows with alt, c, M

Is this option, command and letter M? It doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

As far as I know there is no global minimize command that will affect all open windows for all programs, all at the same time.
Is it possible that the person at the Apple Store was showing that a bunch of open windows for folders, i.e. Finder windows, could all be minimized at once? Since Finder is considered a program for things like this, then Command-Option-M will minimize all open folder windows (provided Finder is the active app) simultaneously.
Hiding windows is a different thing.
When a program's windows are hidden, they seem to disappear but are not minimized to the Dock. The basic command for this is Command-H. Pressing that combo will hide the windows for the current active app and switch active status to the next open app.
The Option key and clicking can be used to do this. For example, with one or more windows open in TextEdit, Option-click on the Desktop - all of TextEdit's windows will disappear (get hidden) and the active program will switch to Finder.
HIdden windows can be made to re-appear by clicking the icon for the program in the Dock, thus switching the 'active' status to that program.
You can hide all windows except for a chosen active program in one action - with that program frontmost (active), press Command-Option-H. You can accomplish the same effect by holding down Command-Option and clicking in a window for the app whose windows you want to remain visible - windows for all other open programs will be hidden.

All videos requiring Flash crash

Hi, I have been having this problem the past few months where all videos requiring Flash crash. I use Chrome, but I have tried with IE and Firefox and the problem persists. On YouTube videos, for example, they freeze every minute or so and eventually turn green and crash. I have disabled hardware acceleration. I checked and have the most updated version of Flash for Chrome. My computer is pretty nice and is less than 1 year old, so it's really frustrating having serious issues like this already. Not being able to watch a simple video stinks! I have a pretty good anti-virus software and am pretty computer/internet-literate, so I don't think I have a virus. I also did the Flash troubleshooting tutorial, and this did not help.
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)

No. iPhone does not support Flash.

Won't boot after using windows Bios flash utility

I used the windows bios flash utility i found on the toshiba website for this sat a135-s2386, all looked good until reboot, now just a white screen.

Attitude is not going to get you far.
Let's try a proper system reset, and see if this helps bring the unit back. Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, if you see the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, then try to boot into Windows.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

Whats the current deal with popup windows in flash?

Hi There,
whats the current deal with popup windows in flash? I'm
trying to include popup windows in a site, and with IE7 (or
whatever the newest version of IE is ..the firefox lookalike) the
popups are not working at all, I have gone out a gotten other
sample popup scripts and I encountering the same problem, which is
the popups aren't working at all?
Is this a problem with just IE7 or am i completely missing
out on something here?
any ideas would be really appreciated! or if anyone has any
scripts for sizeable popup windows that work on IE7 i would really
appreciate it. thanks
:}

well i have used a couple of different attempts. I have used
code generated by this:
http://www.flash-db.com/PopUp/
on (release) {
getURL
("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('pants.html','newWin','width=200,height=50,left=0,top= 0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
void(0);");
I have also tried a couple of other tutorials from
http://www.kirupa.com
link;
http://www.kirupa.com/kirupa.htm'
and I used the javascript supplied and had no luck (I
embedded the html etc) ... i have tried about 5 other tutorials and
I've got to the point where I'm wondering is the problem based
around by browser, I only using IE7 and have no ther browser. I'm
using FlashMX 2004. all the example files .fla and swfs i have
downloaded aren't working either so I'm totaly scartching my head
at this point...
any ideas where i'm going wrong here? any help very much
appreciated
