What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

ADOBE FYI: Getting Adobe Tech Support for Flash Player problems

ALL:
I wanted to take a second to remind everyone here (and
incoming new users) that this forum and most of our other forums
are currently for user-to-user discussions of Adobe products, and
are not an official customer support channel for Adobe. If you need
direct assistance from a support agent please contact Adobe
support.
Flash Player installation help is available via web case only
at
Flash Player
Support. No phone or chat support is available. An AdobeID
login will be required, which is easy to set up.
If at any moment you feel that your Flash Player webcase is
not being handled correctly you have the ability (via the web case
portal that you'll see after logging in) to request an escalation
or provide feedback to the agents. And I encourage you to do so.
You can also re-open a case that may have been incorrectly closed.
If you are a Flash developer experiencing a Flash Player
related issue or an issue with existing content not playing
correctly as the result of a security update please contact support
via

Hi Bentley,
I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
post has a mini bug in it.
If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
see the period there each time.
I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
it.
Here is the original link, without a period after it, to your
original page.

Alternativa3D 8.12.0 update with support for Flash Player 11 Beta 2

To your attention we introduce the new public engine build Alternativa3D 8.12.0 which supports the Flash Player 11 Beta 2. So this version of the engine is completely compatible with the latest Flash Player build at the present moment. We have also accelerated the mouse events system and added the orthographic mode to the camera.
Complete list of changes
The public version Flash Player 11 Beta 2 is now supported.
The orthographic mode has been added to the Camera3D.
The MouseEvent system has been optimized and accelerated.
Logo “AlternativaPltaform” has been updated.
Now when objects are added and removed from the parent, the event will be sent (Event3D.ADDED, Event3D.REMOVED).
The ability to change the property renderToBitmap into View after creating has been added.
The height and width of the View has been limited to the minimum size of 50×50.
Bug in mouse events system when used skins divided on surfaces by divide() was fixed.
A bug has been fixed in Decal.
Skin lighting algorithm changed to more precise one.
ParserCollada: Fixed a bug when binormal vector of the vertices of the object was incorrectly parsed.
The value of backgroundAlpha in the View constructor changed to 1.0 by default.
VertexLightTextureMaterial now draws correctly without lights in scene.
MouseEvent3D was moved from alternativa.engine3d.core to alternativa.engine3d.core.events.
A bug has been fixed in Object3D.dispatchEvent().
The offset property has been added to the constructor Decal and it is compulsory.
Now the offset property can be copied using the clone () method of class Decal.
The ratio property has been removed from View class.
VertexLightTextureMaterial now can be used with skin with the maximum number of bones in surface no more than 33.

Support for flash player plugin in webview

Will the webview at some point support the flash player plugin? We have a legacy reporting engine that was developed in Flex that we were hoping we could access in a webview.
Thanks.
Stefan

No - webview will not support a flash player plugin.
install flash plugin for WebView "Thread: install flash plugin for WebView"
Richard's comment from the thread (Richard is the JavaFX lead):
As for plugins, we are not likely to ever support running plugins (except maybe applets), for security reasons. There are also additional issues. If the browser is to support arbitrary things that Chrome supports like native client etc, it adds to the footprint of the browser (and security risks). Already the WebView constitutes over half of the download size of JavaFX. I would need a pretty strong justification to make it larger if doing so also increases our risk to vulnerabilities.

Frustration with lack of support for Flash Player on IPad. When is Apple going to support Flash?

When is Apple going to support Flash Player on IPad?
The majority of sites that have multimedia content rely on Flash. Safari users are missing out on tons and tons of content that depends on Flash. I have and love my IPad 2. I should be able to use this awesome thing to get at anything I need to on the Internet. Yet when I need to access Flash sites, I am forced back to my windows PC.
Please Apple Make it happen! I'm tired of being ragged by android users on this. You need to fix it.

Really it's not seeming that way.
In fact, since the iPad release, and Steve Jobs famously declairing the death of Flash, Flash useage has increased.
Check it out 95.75% of all internet connected devices have the Flash Player.

IOS Apps are now made using Adobe Flash

And so are Android, Blackberry etc.
And HTML5 was supposed to be Apple's answer to all the missing content, yet here, 3 years later, HTML5 is no where to be seen, and lacks support/performance to compete with Flash.
http://getmoai.com/images/banners/mobilegaming-html5-vs-alternatives-011112-moai .jpg
Just look at how when you step outside the reality distortion field, things look much different. Look at HTML5 performance compared to Flash.... wasn't HTML5 supposed to outperform and save us from dead batteries? Well even 3 years after Steve Jobs claims it's still using 5x more resources than Flash.
This demo shows 16,250 sprites animating at 60fps using the Flash player, something HTML5 can't even do with less than 100 sprites.

HTML5 is a joke, Flash is real, and is providing real content to real people right now. If you as an Apple owner believe the ownership of an IOS device is worth this loss, then more power to you.

Official LCCS support for Flash Player 10.3?

Hi,
We have been waiting for some time to the release of Flash Player 10.3 due to its promised AEC capabilities. Now that it's out, when should we expect LCCS to follow the release and support the latest player?
I saw a thread from a few menths ago regarding this issue but we prefer working on release artifacts.
Thanks,
Ehud

Hi all,
We've been building/posting 10.3 SWCs with every release - check the AEC
thread for downloadable bits.
That said, we're not going to have a full release ready for 10.3 until the
release-after-next. Next release is coming up super-quick, so we just didn't
have time to properly test the 10.3 code yet. We'll make the
release-after-next as soon as possible, but in the meantime, please help us
test the 10.3 builds posted.
thanks for all your help, we really appreciate it!

Has Adobe ended support for Photoshop CS5

I use Secunia PSI to monitor my software for updates. Right around the time CS6 shipped, PSI started reporting all of my CS5 applications as "end of life" meaning no more patches will be released.
Is it correct that CS5 is no longer supported with patches?
CS5 to CS6 seems like an upgrade of just one version, but maybe Adobe considered CS5.5 to be a full version upgrade?

Generally speaking, Adobe always stops releasing point revisions of their software the minute a new major version is released.
Version 12.anything is considered CS5, and the 12.0.4 patch for Photoshop CS5 brought it up to be functionaly equivalent of Photoshop CS5.5 (save for cloud licensing).
That said, there's a 12.0.5 that's "half released" to address some concerns over a vulnerability when opening TIFF files that was brought to light around the time of the Ps CS6 release. It's not clear whether 12.0.5 is ever going to be released through the mainstream software update process.
Out of curiosity, why do you use a 3rd party update monitoring package? Adobe has one of its own.

Adobe Official Support for Adobe Flash Builder

What is Adobe's official support end date for Flash Player and Adobe Flash Builder generated applications (inclusive of version of the Flash Builder SDK)?

Geoff,
Thanks for the reply, I'm looking for any info on the comittment to support Windows 7 once it is out.
The fact that LR works okay for me on the beta, it seems okay to me.
If there is an official or semi official "LR works with W7, but with the following known issues.....", then I know how far to push the software, and whether I need to keep a Vista machine running a little longer until the issues are fixed in an upcoming (Oct onwards) update to LR.

Setup Error says "Contact Adobe Customer Support for Assistance" but that seems impossible. I'm trying to install CS3 on Maverick. Shall I just give it up as hopeless, and kiss my Adobe software goodbye?

I've gone around and around the Adobe Customer Support website, and it only allows me to post a query in the support group.
I downloaded a dmg of CS3. I have my license number ready.
I try to install it, and I get the error message:
Setup Error
Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
But I can't contact them. Adobe support just goes in circles. Now what?
Maybe CS3 doesn't work on OSX Mavericks. It would help if they would just say so.

some people have had some success, http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
you should run the cleaner and then try and install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
if that fails with the same nondescript message, check your install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

Adobe Story support for Chromebook or Android

Any word on Adobe Story support for Chromebook or Android? From what I understand ChromeOS is not much more than an HTML5 browser? I want to get one of the new 8 hour Haswell powered Chromebook laptops this Holiday season under $300. I can understand delaying Adobe Story development on ChromeOS as it is still very small, but Android? There's over 1.5 million Android activations everyday. That's more than the entire population of Canada every month:) .. hard to understand turning a blind eye to these numbers much longer.

UPDATE the web version of Adobe Story runs perfectly on Chromebook, ACER C720 2848 with 2GBs of RAM $199.99 Amazon. Remember to disable any Chrome extensions you might have installed that disable Flash, for instance Flash Block. Also double clicking on the project will not open it, instead click the tiny twirl down triangle next to the Project's name and select, Open from the menu. I wasn't able to install the desktop version (no surprise). This is good news for us that would like a cheap "beater" laptop for scripting that runs more than 8 hours. Now if we only had an Android version of Adobe Story...

Why is Adobe dropping support for pre 3GS phones?!

I think it's a bad decision to drop support for pre 3GS devices. There are still many out there and if support is dropped we're forced to still use the old PFI to reach the complete audience.
It's clear that OpenGL ES 2 offers a lot more fancy stuff than OpenGL ES 1.5 does, but still, things like GPU_VECTOR or sophisticated blending are perfectly doable with OpenGL ES 1.5.
And if a clean implementation is really not possible, Adobe should at least allow to publish for old devices even if this means that not all optimization techniques can be used.
I develop iPhone apps using different technologies and AIR is attractive for me because I can target with one project a big range of different plattforms. If Adobe drops support for old phones, this advantage is heavily shortened!
What is your opinion on the this development?

Apple have dropped support for pre-3GS because to pull of the features and performance in iOS 4.3 they had to develop just for the ARM7 chip, and not for the ARM6. They probably have a good sense of the number of people that have the older devices, and think it's ok to not update the software on those devices.
The same may be true for Adobe.
I am trying to find out how to make AIR 2.6 and AIR 2.0 live together in Flash CS5. If I work it out I'll let you know.

What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?
