What are you supposed to do instead of Adobe flash when you hit a site that requires it while using iphone?

New to iphone and first time using the web I get a message that I can't view a page because Apple blocks Adobe Flash. There seems to be some big story behind this, but what are you supposed to do to view those sites? Sorry if there is an obvious answer somewhere but I'm muddling my way through all of this!
Thanks,

Nothing unless they have an HTML only option you can click on the bottom of the page. However a page that requires flash only is most likely that of a company or business with heavy marketing content. Most websites with useful content either don't base their entire homepage on flash or have a mobile version for smartphones. So if you're visiting company or movie websites just do it on your computer. Apple and now adobe considers that the battery hit for flash animations is not worth it for phones. Most flash content is pure advertising rubbish anyway. I always install Adblock on all my browsers and barely see any flash except for videos and websites where the flash is not advertising.

    The so called Viruses in the news lately are not Virusues anyway. They are bits of malicious code. They are files that are disguised as something else. such as a 'jpg' or a quicktime movie. The look real but when the open the start a shell script.

  • What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a "widescreen anamorphic" 16:9 SD DVD (original aspect ratio is 14:9)?

    I just received the masters for a new SD DVD. I would like to author a "widescreen anamorphic" SD DVD horizontally squeezed widescreen image stored in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio DVD image frame. (On 4:3 displays, mattes should preserve the original aspect ratio. On 16:9 displays the image will fill the screen at the highest possible resolution.)
    Below I've listed the specs of the Digi Beta master tapes the producers have sent to me for digitizing. I'd like to know this: What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a widescreen anamorphic SD DVD, using material with an original aspect ratio of 14:9?
    I've also listed my guesses below. Please let me know if my guesses are right. If not, please suggest alternatives (and if possible explain why.)
    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF EXISTING MASTER:
    Tape: DigiBeta
    Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
    Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
    Pixel Aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
    Frame Size: 720 x 480
    Anamorphic: Full-Height Anamorphic (16:9 image displayed in letterboxed, non-distored 4:3)
    Display Format: 4:3 Letterbox
    MY GUESS AT IDEAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (for a DigiBeta, that is):
    Tape: DigiBeta
    Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
    Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
    Pixel Aspect: Square
    Frame Size: 720 x 540
    Anamorphic: YES
    Display Format: 16:9 Anamorphic (horizontally squeezed widescreen image)
    Please feel free to ask for clarification or further information you need to answer my question.
    Thank you so much in advance for your help!
    Best, Noetical.
    BTW, I can't wait for the day when everything has gone digital and we get digital intermediates instead of tapes to digitize!

    Hi Nick...thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.

    What you have there is a mess.
    NTSC pixels are never square.
    NTSC is 720x486, even when it is Anamorphic.
    You shouldn't be using an already letterboxed master to make an Anamorphic version. Get the master that was made before the letterboxing stage.
    When you make an Anamorphic DVD it should display as 16:9 full screen automatically on widescreen TVs.
    The same DVD will automatically letterbox on 4:3 TVs.
    Um yeah...duh. That's exactly what I was trying to explain in the preface of my question. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear...all these things you mention are the reasons I'm putting together a list of the technical specs of the DigiBeta I need so I can have them send that instead of the stupid letterboxed version. 
    Look, I'm sending this request to some intern at their offices in England, asking for a master with which I can make an Anamorphic DVD. They already sent me this master, which as you and I both agree is an idiotic asset to use for these purposes. As such, I was hoping for advice on a more precise way of requesting the master that I need than asking for "the master that was made before the letterboxing stage." Upon reflection, perhaps I'll just do that. If you or anyone else has a suggestion about something I should add to my request that would improve the odds of them sending the tape I need, please repond. Thank you!
    BTW, It's been a long time since anyone has responded to something I've written or said as though I'm an idiot. I remember now that I don't really like it. (Moving along...)

  • What can I use instead of adobe flash 9?

    What can I use instead of Adobe Flash 9 on iPad mini?

    There are a number of apps in teh app store that provide "translation" type services for flash content (iSwifter, Puffin are a couple, there may be more). Basically these apps take the flash video content and route it to a third server that converts it to a different format and then routes to your device. Reveiws are mixed and they may not work with all flash content.
    Alternately, you might check to see if the specific sites youare visiting have their own apps.

  • What is done by Flash when you press "Show all" option???

    Hello,
    I need technical information. I'd like to know which kind of resizing is done by Flash when you press the "Show all" option. What differences between "Show all" and 100% are there???
    I'm programming an application and the Flash Player Proyector always has the "Show all" option enabled modifying the size of my content!!!!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

    Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll.  The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures.  Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library.  But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

    What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
    Thanks

    Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
    For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
         var video:Video;
         var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
         connect_nc.connect(null);
         var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
         stream_ns.client = this;
         function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {  
             if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
                 stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
         stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
         video = new Video();
         addChild(video);
         video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
         stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
    For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well.  Place the following code in the timeline...
         fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
         function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
             fp.play();
    To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page.  Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.
