What about older versions of flash like flash mx or flash8

Do you think that flash mx and flash 8 are outdated to learn for beginners? What do you suggest to a beginner entirely new to flash, the new ones like flash CS4 or begin with older ones like flash 8 and slowly build up?

Start with the newest version. Also start using the latest version of the scripting language. Use AS3. There is no need to learn to use AS2. It will not help you in the future any more than learning to groom a horse will help you to learn to drive a car.

Hi,
i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
I realy need some advice.
Thank's to all.

Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

Flash CS3 Mac/Win Projector Publishing - Using older version of Flash

Hi,
How can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)!
One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?
This is what I have on my first frame (using AS2), is any of this suspect to older versions of Flash? :
<code as2>
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
fscommand("allowscale", false);
        trace("This is a " + System.capabilities.os + " system.");
var os:String = System.capabilities.os.substr(0, 3);
        if (os == "Win") {
          trace("Windows-specific code goes here");
        } else if (os == "Mac") {
          trace("Mac-specific code goes here");
        } else {
          trace("Must be Unix or Linux");
var videoStartNumber:Number =0;
var originalMenu:Number = 1;
_root.menu1_1.onRelease = function() {videoStartNumber = 1; gotoAndPlay(5);}
_root.menu1_2.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 3; gotoAndPlay(3);}
_root.menu1_3.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 4; gotoAndPlay(4);}
_root.menu1_4.onRelease = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);}
_root.exitButton.onRelease = function() {fscommand("quit");}
stop();
</code as2>
But even if something on this project wouldn't work on an older version than 9.0.115.0 then it shouldn't matter as the Projector will always use the embedded Flash player, not the player installed on the computer, right?
Really would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
PJ

Please, can someone help me?
Our client is getting frustrated and I'm out of ideas as to what's wrong with the Projector executable! Why would it give white screen on launch on some systems and not on others?
Sincerely,
PJ Palomaki

Unable To Install -- Older Version -- of FLASH

Hi,
I have latest version of FLASH Player in my system( Windows 7 ). But due to some reason I have to install Older verion of Flash in my system.
But when I am trying to install older version I am getting error message saying "Newer Version is available please visit http:// .... ".
Please let me know how can I install older Version of Flash.
Thanks
Mayank

I haven't done this in Windows 7, only XP, but I imagine something similar will work....
Here is the uninstaller: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Here are the instructions for "safe uninstall": http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402435.html
And here are the archived players: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
Also I think there was something about using a "/clean" switch after the uninstall command.
It was a little while ago, so there might be newer versions out there....

Removing older versions of flash

I just tried the Secuna security test found at
http://secunia.com/software_inspector
It tells me i have loads of older versions of flash
installed, many of them with security issues. How can I get rid of
them as there is no uninstaller in Add/Remove programs for them,
except for version 8.

Hi,
I do not have any idea about this software, but as long it is
not in the Add\Remove Program, then it is not installed to your
machine. I guess your software is searching for the Flash Keys and
registry files which is not an installed application.
Hope this helps

Adobe Reader 9.5.1 does not recognise older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 it requires 11.2

I have a problem in upgrading Adobe Reader to 9.5.1 as it is not recognising older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 and it prompts the user to download and install Flash Player 11.2, this is not the case with Adobe Reader v 10.1.3 as it works fine with 10.3.183.18
My Firm is not ready to rollout Flash player 11.2 , is there any work around or a fix available to fix this issue , does anyone know which API is responsible for this Flash content

Hi,
This was an intended change along with Reader 9.5.1. This new strategy simplifies Acrobat and Reader deployments by reducing the number of future required updates should a security issue arise. Moreover, you can now manage and update Acrobat products and Flash individually.
Please refer to the following release note document for the 9.5.1 release for more information regarding the same:

I have an older version of flash player in my new computer and I can't uninstall it it is system 32 and I have system 64 I am not much of a computer person and need help I keep getting pop ups saying there is a bad image

I have an older version of flash player that seems to be in my computer_16_0_0_305.exe and it says bad image
I could not uninstall it and put a new one in. I keep getting this pop up 2 and 3 times.

Hi,
The Flash Player installer is a universal installer for both 32 and 64-bit systems. On a 64-bit OS, it installs both versions, on a 32-bit OS, it installs only the 32-bit version. I'm confused by why you think you only have the 32-bit version. Please provide more information, including screenshots (How to post a screenshot in the forum) so that we may further troubleshoot your situation.
Thank you.

Better to run with an older version of Flash (11.2) or with the latest with protected mode off?

The newest version of Flash (12) doesn't work correctly on my Windows 7 system(using Firefox). I tried fixing the issue in many ways (reinstalled my video driver, disabled hardware acceleration, clean Flash install, etc.) without luck. The only thing that worked was the "last resort" (found that the bottom of this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493): disabling protected mode. My question is "Is it better for me to run with an older version of Flash (11.2) or with the latest version with protected mode turned off?" Thank you,

You should always run the latest version, with one exception, which wouldn't apply in your case (PowerPC Macs CAN'T run anything newer than 10).
That's with or without Protected Mode enabled.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for reply..
Actually i uninstalled the existing version of Flash Player from my Windows 8 PC, but when i tried to install the older version, it was not allowing me to install and was showing that my browser is included with latest version.
Even i followed the below given websites, it didn't given any remedy for it.

Is there an older version of flash for my mac 10.6.8?

Is there an older version of flash for my mac 10.6.8?

Actually you can use the latest Flash Player version 15 on Mac OS 10.6.8. Mac OS 10.5.8 and older are no longer compatible and need an older Flash Player version (depending on PPC or Intel platform).

HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

I want to re-install an older version of Flash Player but...

I hope this is the right place to ask this question...
I have a new dual processor pentium laptop and I upgraded to Flash V10.1 a couple of days ago. One web site I access regularly has now slowed right down and the video is unwatchable. My CPU meter runs at over 70% so I simply wanted to uninstall V10.1 and re-install V9. For whatever reason (I don't know if it is laptop, Win7 or Adobe), I am prevented from loading the older version. An Adobe window pops up and says that this (V9) is not the latest version, stops the install and points me back to the Adobe site to download the latest version. I have followed all of the guides to ensure proper uninstallation of V10.1. All very frustrating!
Can anyone help - please?
Thanks
Ian

OK, here I am replying to myself but perhaps others may gain from this solution. Remember, this original post was "how to stop Adobe preventing me from installing an older version and forcing me to take the latest version...". I just wanted to re-install an older version to prevent big CPU usage and stuttering video. Well, this is what fixed it for me an allowed me to install Adobe Flash V9...
Assuming you have properly uninstalled Adobe Flash Player v10.n, you need to remove a folder and files from your registry. If you are unhappy to do this, then ask an expert - the registry is not somewhere you want to get lost in. I am also assuming you have the correct system permissions, Anway this is what I did:
1. Go to start button and find (and run) REGEDIT.EXE
2. Rather than give you a specific path to follow, it is best to simply use REGEDIT to find the folder by clicking "Edit" then "Find".
3. You are looking for a folder called "SafeVersions".
4. When you find it, it may show a number of safe versions (previous loads of the player).
5. From the left window pane, right click on the aforementioned folder then click "Delete"
6. Respond to any prompts you might get, like, "do you want to do this..." etc.
7. Close down all applications in the normal manner and reboot.
8. When restarted, go back on line and download the V9 (or whatever version you want). You'll know its a good 'un as it loads in a fraction of the time.
9. Go back to your web page or whatever and, hey presto, everything is back to what it was before that hungry V10.n was uploaded.
Hope that helps, it might be nice if the Adobe uninstaller deleted this registry entry, but it doesn't - or at least in Win7 on my PC, it didn't.
Let me know it the above works for you.
Thanks and good luck
