What is Flash for?

What is Flash actually for?
I am not a novice. I have used Flash since version 1. I built up my original business based on Flash only websites. It was a fantastic piece of software. When Generator came along the business grew and was valued in 2002 at over 10 million. With the inclusion of support for video Flash shot off in another direction, the player became a target and is still so full of holes that Apple no longer wants to play… or is that just inter corporate politics?
AIR that’s all it is hot for some but will only ever be a transitional technology.
Nothing is static and I now find myself wondering if I even want to use Flash anymore. AS3 was supposed to open up the programming and for some that might be true but I now have to employ someone to do things I could once easily do for myself. Adobe seem aware of this an introduced a moron ready solution but that’s not for me either. I don’t make banners or adverts but feature rich, innovative websites.
Flash before it was Flash was originally a vector animation programme and did the job extremely well. I think that’s what I’m looking for, something that will output html5 vector animation directly. (Don’t even think of mentioning Wallaby).

I've been working on Flash c 2002. Now for beginners Flash is very difficult.

  • What Fixed IE8/9 No Flash For Me [Win7 x64]

    Read a lot of posts about people having issues with Flash not working in IE8 (or IE9) after a recent virus cleanup on a client's machine.
    The basics that I tried didn't work;
    -Kill bit didn't exist in the location people outlined in this forum HKLM/Software/microsoft/etc. etc.
    -Uninstall/Reinstall (using both activex install and stand alone, and using uninstaller with or without wiping files in C:\windows\wowsys64\flash)
    -Upgrade IE8 to IE9
    -Malware was already cleaned, all scans kept coming up clean
    -Reset IE settings
    -Probably a few other things!
    What ended up fixing it for me, on a Win7 64-bit machine was deleting this key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
    I didn't see this documented here as a kill bit location, possily because it would only exist on a 64 bit machine, but it indeed solved my issue completely!  Just deleted that key (of course backed it up first) and immediately opened up a page in IE and flash worked flawlessly.
    Hoping this helps save someone the frustration I know these kind of issues can cause.

    Hi, I think you misunderstood my concern. I was not saying that what you found that fixed your client's issue was wrong or not correct. It is something to consider as any Kill-bit is.
    I read the article and commented on it and pointed out it was for FP vs 6 and also the instructions that Microsoft have for setting the Kill-bit. Also how Kill-bits can be set.
    The only reason I even replied to your thread was my concern for users going into the Registry which is risky, especially those that are newbies. That is one of the reasons that Pat has the REG file to remove that Kill-bit, as a safe guard to the user. We stress for anyone to "look" only for that Key and not to DO anything.
    My first reply to your thread was not even to you, it was to another user that asked how to delete that key.
    Concern for the users that come here has always been a priority for me. I've seen many suggestions such as using System Restore for everything except what it is for. Also reformat your HD to fix Flash Player and worse.
    That you found that Key and deleted it is great. Perhaps that Kill-bit Key is being created now for the 64bit OS and if so, that's good to know. I'm glad you posted the info, in spite of my concern for inexperienced users.
    Thanks,

  • What to use for flash player

    What to use for flash player?

    There is no flash player for IOS. Adobe is removing flash from all mobile devices. There are some browsers in the app store like skyfire but they have mixed reviews and only work on limited content.

  • There are sites i want to use but i must have Adobe Flash  for them what can i do

    there are some sites i want to go to and use but they wont let me on because i dont have Adobe Flash and Safari wont let me download it what can i do

    Use a different platform that supports Flash.
    Adobe has abandoned development of Flash for iOS. It turns out there were so many problems in the rewrite for iOS that they didn't figure it was worthwhile so they quit.

    What is the best flash for ipad3.

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • What version of flash for kindle fire hd

    I am trying to download flash for my kindle fire he. there are several versions to choose from, which one for my kindle?

    Adobe Flash does not work  the Kindle Fire HD or any Android v4+ devices.  Amazon blames it on Adobe and Adobe blames it on uncertified devices (
    http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html).  There are lots of comments and instructions for sideloads of previous browser versions in the cyber universe.  But, alas,  loyal users of flash and amazon just get left out in the cold.

    hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!
    iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • HT1366 Macbook does not boot green light flashes for few secends

    My MacBook do not boot when I press power button. The green light on the side flashes for few secends.

    Dear Apple-Friends! Dear Imola!
    Thank you so much for your Memorial Day Super Fast Answer. Nothing has helped though and right now the support line is closed as it is 11:10 p.m. local time. will call them tomorrow morning and see what we can do. But this ***** so much, I waited 2 weeks for the machine to arrive, almost two weeks 'cause I bought it the moment it arrived in the online store.
    I called Apple USA but they are closed because of Memorial Day. ;-(
    Tough luck, I guess!
    Cheers,

  • Flash for the Palm Pre

    Now that flash is on general release where do I go to download the Palm Pre version?

    It seems any post or forum that Adobe doesn't like gets "frozen" out when discussing Flash for the Palm Pre.  The missing Palm Pre Flash and the "shift of blame" by Adobe to Palm has been a common theme  (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2748422#2748422 as an example) is becoming tiresome.
    Yet if you ask Palm they tell you its nothing to do with them, why would it be?  That is such a silly dead-end statement that I suspect Adobe are far to embarrassed by what's actually happened.  If they want to prove me wrong then how about they release the flash to me rather than Palm?  LOL now, there's a novel idea!
    I suspect this has something to do the popular rise of Android, an operating system for mobiles that was still in design when webOS for Palm Pre was already established.  It appears, and no one denies, that the demo on the Palm Pre, you know the one, the one that made us all go out and get the Palm instead of the iPhone, was an iphoney.
    We have been duped.
    While much of the web relies on Adobe technology at the moment the end of their business cycle is in site, not just HTML 5, but sentiment in general.  The lack of respect, clarity, accountability and honesty in the main to blame.
