Ways to load flash player..

I have begun to develop some Adobe Captivate files and load
them on a very scant website. (mainly for review)
I am wondering about the different methods of distributing
flash player to those who may not have it.
You can obviously have a direct link, or I am assuming that
there is some code (activeX script?) that can install it without
leaving the page, yes?
But I have been told by some other Captivate users that there
is a way to integrate flash in a way that requires NO player at
all. I found this hard to believe, but this was suposedly done at a
F500 company on their intranet, because they did not want people
having flash installed localy.
I would like to make viewing my files as fast as possible for
those without flash, but does this just sound crazy to anyone
else?

It's not Flash Player that requires the process be ended. Installing ANY 3rd party (and Flash Player is 3rd party) plug-in for IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari or Chrome requires the browser to be shut down. It's sort of like the way you can't change spark plugs while driving. CG creates a connection using a call to the DNS, which remains open even if the browser is closed.
Windows, won't allow a plug-in to be installed if it has an indication that IE is running or if it senses an open connection that may hinder the installation. This same thing will occur when tyring to install a video downloader (Like RealPlayer) or ad blocker into IE, and Adobe doesn't make those.
Since not everyone in the world has Comcast (I have Cox), or Xfinity, and not everyone with ComCast/Xfinity has CG... adding special scripts for a small percentage of ALL users worldwide, and then having to do the same for every other situation, like AOLConnect (yes, some people still use it), Facebook plug-ins, LimeWire, Spotify, Pandora, WIndows 365, etc... would make Flash Player into "bloatware" of a size unthinkable for just a plug-in. The other option would be to have individual versions for every ISP and service combination available. Can you imagine having to sort through more than 2,000 different versions every six weeks to get "just the right update" for your ISP and protection suite?

  • Lightroom 2 Unable to Load flash Player

    I am trying to create a web gallery but receive the message 'Unable to Load Flash Player'. The preview window also says 'No Flash Player'.
    I have downloaded and installed the latest Flash player and it works fine in browsers and other applications
    I am running LR 2.4 under OSX 10.5

    Same here.
    On my other system I don't have this problem. I've checked every setting, the plugins are installed in exactly the same directories.

  • Cannot load Flash Player, but for another Reason

  • Is there a way to EMBED Flash player?

    Hello Earth-lings,
    Good Day!
    First of all, I have created a website for a client of mine
    but whenever they wanted to
    visit their 100% Flash website, they can see the 'Flash
    Detection - Download Flash
    Player from Adobe' prompt but they could not install the
    downloaded Flash Player
    as they got an error something like ' You don't have
    privilages . Please contact your
    Admin.'
    Is there any way to solve this issue?
    PS. Sorry for the 2x posts.

    But is there a way to embed Flash Player in it so that it's
    easier for
    them - what I meant was the trouble to inform their admin
    just for
    this.

  • Unable to load Flash player

    On my IMac, OSX 10.5.8, Lightroom running 64 bit I am not able to see any Flash galleries in the Web window - "Unable to load Flash player". Changing to 32 bit solves the problem, but was not the idea of creating a 64 bit version i suppose.
    Tried uninstalling Flash Player and then reinstalling it - did not change anything.Tried creating a new account - same result.
    I am also running a beta version of Lightroom 3 on my MacBook Pro in 64 bit, same OSX, and it does NOT have the same problem. Flash galleries showes up just fine.
    Any ideas what to do other than wait for Flash Player 64 bit?

    Flash Player is integrated into IE for Windows 8 & 8.1 by Microsoft. Since it's a "plug-in" and NOT a program, you'll NEVER find it listed as a program. It's located in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash.
    The problem with IE11 is that Microsoft not only screwed up the code, but they refuse to admit it doesn't work. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Lightroom 3 - Web module - Unable to load Flash Player

    Running to most uptodate version of Lightroom 3 - on OS X 10.6.4 also fully up to date.  Have downloaded and installed the latest Flash Player from the site.  This problem seems only to be on my 2.8ghz iMac with 2 gig of RAM.  Lightroom 3 and flash galleries work great on my 2ghz Macbook with 2 gig of RAM.
    When accessing the web module and trying to use one of the flash templates I either get a blank black screen or a white one with the error message of Unable to Load Flash Player.  From there I hit the Preview in Browser button and a flash gallery did come up in Safari, just not in Lightroom.
    Does anyone else have this problem, and more importantly how did they solve it.........

    Replying to myself.... I solved the problem by creating a new User Account in my OS.  Solved the Lightroom problem and also a problem with Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, where it wouldn't open Bridge.

  • Loading Flash Player 9 on PPC Mac - need help

    Hi!
    I am trying to load Flash Player 9 onto my Mac but it won't
    work. I've tried everything I could find on this forum (and yes, I
    did read all 87 posts on the topic). Anyway, my Mac is a Power PC
    G4 with OSX 10.4.11 and my browser is Safari 3.1.
    Every time I try to load, it takes me back to the downloads
    page on the Adobe website. I've used the uninstaller & tried
    reinstalling - no luck. I've tried changing the items mentioned in
    QuickTime - no luck. I've even tried using the code with the
    Terminal - no luck. Disk permissions - no luck.
    Any other suggestions before I take a hammer to my machine??
    Thanks!

    I just installed the Flash Player 9 on my Power PC based Mac OS X 10.3.9 and
    now no Flash elements work in Safari 1.3.2, or even Explorer. I have been sure to close all browsers, uninstall first etc. The
    installations appears to complete successfully, but I get the following error
    message on any page that has flash: Maybe Flash Player 9 is not compatible with it.

  • Lightroom 64-bit error loading flash player

    I just upgraded my computer to Win7 x64, and installed the most recent version of Lightroom which, of course, installed the 64-bit version of Lightroom 2.6.
    My problem, I get an error message whenever I go to the Web module:
    An unexpected error occurred while loading a module:
    Assertion failed: lua_pcall(L,2,1,0)==0
    Then if I click to continue, I get the message: Failure to load flash player
    Has anyone encountered this? Any solutions? I believe I have the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player installed. I'm stymied about how to go forward and I'm in the middle of rebuilding my portfolio gallery using SlideshowPro for Lightroom. I can still "build it" but I can't preview any of what I'm doing on screen in Lightroom.
    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for your replies. I've read that Apple, for instance, won't support Flash on the iPhone (which I'd dearly love) because it's waiting for the "latest and greatest" HTML to replace it. Pretty silly really, since overnight, Flash won't disappear from sites that are already deeply coded in it. All you have to look at is the JPEG2000 spec to see that virtually no one has embraced this improved JPEG codec. Even Photoshop requires you install it as a goodie.
    Charlie, how did you get your Lightroom 64-bit to use the Flash player? Or are you still running the 32-bit under Win7 x64? I wish I hadn't updated my Lightroom, since I was running 2.5 32-bit and the player would still work. The stupid thing is, 64-bit Windows has been coming a long time. I downloaded (though never installed) 64-bit WinXP. Vista x64 was the first really major implementation of it, and now, most new computer systems (from Dell for instance) automatically ship with the 64-bit operating system. The raodmap was out there a long time. It annoys the crap out of me that suddenly a major component of Lightroom is non-functional.

  • Problem loading flash player...

    I am running windows xp sp3 ....... I down loaded the flash player 10. 102. 64 . everything went as planned ...the only place I could find evidence that the player downloaded was by going in to the control panel and add or remove software feature. It showed that it loaded it...but showed no memory occupation. While in Control panel, I highlighted the new flash player entry. and it simply showed a link to adobe support. So, I am here trying to help solve by providing my input.
    I logged on as System admin, killed the virus software processes, and downloaded it all again after having removed the previous version. Same Results
    I have taken several approaches with no success...each time going into the control panel and noting the entry of the flash player 10 with no mem. size being their.  I then uninstalled the thing using adobes DLM...it does say that it is installed and done...also it does remove the entry when uninstalling.
    I updated my java script .....once again the same results....right now ...my computer says that the flash player is loaded no memeory occupied (via control panel) but the only thing is a link to adobe....so, has any body had this experience.

    Thanks, I will revist the forum and look up the threads, I need all the help I can get, You have a great Christmas.
    I too will do without streaming videos , until after the Lords bithday has been celebrated.

    Hi, The Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a standalone player. There will be no size or any info in Control Panel/Add/Remove/Programs & Features.
    Check a couple of recent threads or click on my name to several threads I have posted on helping users with the same issue.
    Company coming in for the Christmas weekend and my time right now is limited.
    On those threads you'll see the info you need.
    Hope that helps,

  • Newbie has Trouble Loading Flash Player

    Hello everybody,
    I have the WRT54G2 sending a signal from my Windows XP PC to a computer in the other room (Win 2000) that is connected to the flat screen TV.  The internet comes up fine but I can't watch any movies on Hulu because there is no Adobe flash player and it won't load.
    I tried everything to troubleshoot the Adobe including redoing the permissions, trying Flash version 9, and other advice on the Adobe site.  Even tried loading it from a thumb drive.
    So I think there may be some setting on the router or whatever that is preventing the Adobe Flash Player from loading. 
    Any help much appreciated since this is why I bought the router.  Thank you,
    Willydo, Tucson Arizona

    TMD and Freebelle,
    Yes, when I try to load the FlashPlayer, there is an example screen that pops up and says I may have to click on the "yellow bar along the top of the page" to allow the player to load but there is no yellow bar or similar to click on.
    The Adobe site does talk about setting the security to Medium OR to go in and set the Active X files to ask to load each time.  I tried doing it both ways but still get an error message.
    One thing that is curious is that Adobe has a page you can go to that looks at your computer and tells what type of Flash Player is installed.  When I go to that page, it says I have version 10. xx.xx.  But that is on the wired computer that is sending the signal NOT the one receiving the signal.  I do need a Flash on BOTH computers (I think).  Hulu works on the main computer, but on the other computer, the film titles etc. show up, but they won't play. 
    Thanks again,
    Willydo
    I don't know for sure it this problem is related to having the router, but I don't remember ever having an issue with loading a flash player before.
