When will the Adobe Flash player become available on iPad / iPhone?

I know Apple wantto protect its own products like f.ex. QuickTime but it is apparent for all of us that the Adobe Flash technology has become a widely used and accepted standard.
Why can we never get an announcement from Apple when they expect to make f.ex. their iPad & iPhone compatible and let us use the Flash player?

The question can never be put too seldomly as it is still a bad secret why Apple "protect" their products from the "ugly" Adobe Flash player.
Some people in this forum claim that the cause is that Adobe has not managed to develop a satisfactory solution but that is not true.
On the other hand it seems that Apple is opening a door a litle. Now it is possible using the Adobe Flash Professional and Flash Builder to create application for the iOS products. The whole development process is supported and you do not need to use ONE SINGLE Apple tool.
Therefore I think it is a question of time until Apple accepts the Flash player on the iOS platforms.
As to the HTML 5 - this is no surprise to Adobe which have prepared for the step forward to HTML 5 for quite a while. The HTML 5 standard will set the stage for the future internet but it does not make Flash or iOS redundant.
This is about a fight on a very high business level and Apple will never tell all the reasons for their strategy as little as Adobe will.
History shows that there is only one loser in such a fight: the user.
Although we do not all agree with each other, let us keep a good tone in here.

  • When will the Adobe flash player return to all Apple mobile devices?

    I think that Apple should very well eliminate these restrictions by reintroducing the Adobe Flash Player back into all Apple mobile devices sometime this spring or summer.

    Yeah.
    And everybody should be nice to each other beginning Wednesday.
    And no more taxes beginning next year.
    Oh.. and cheap gas by the end of summer.
    Adobe does not make a flash player for iphone.  They never have.

  • Recently I cannot view certain attached videos because I need the adobe flash player. It does not get installed and the system says it will do so once firefox is closed. pl.help

    recently certain video or pictorial attachments to my e-mails be opened because the system requires the installation of the Adobe Flash player with Java plug-ins. The message also gives a link for installation. It appears to install but nothing really happens. Then the message advises that it will install automatically once security is uninstalled or when Firefox is off. Nothing seems to work. Please help. P.S. I recently also installed the Firefox 4.0 version also

  • Why does the Adobe Flash Player pop up keep on appearing when using the browser. It never used to before the upgrade to the latest version.

    Since updating to the latest version of Firefox the Adobe Flash player pop up continually pops up whether the page needs flash player or not. It even shows for a text page.
    It is very annoying

    You can set the default in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" and change that for the Shockwave Flash plugin to "Always Activate".
    You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
    *Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
    *Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
    *Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

  • Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash

    hi all and adobe forum team
    im download felx bulder 3 and make a new flex project ....
    its ok
    but when i want to run my project i take empty page with the
    error code " Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This
    content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
    that error mean i havent flash player on my pc
    but i have because it will installed by default with adobe
    flex builder, and flash cs3 on my pc, and im installed it from
    adobe web site, and im installed it from cd
    but without any result, i have same the error when i want to
    run my flext project
    i take "Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This
    content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
    plz help me why
    note: im using windows vista ulimate

    I had the same problem.
    After I've installed new flash player version 9.0.60.120.
    I've got the same error.
    I'm using Korean windows. Maybe that's the problem. I don't
    know yet.
    I will test on English machine tomorrow.
    Anyway,
    Problem is caused by version detaction javascript.
    In AC_OETags.js file, there is ControlVersion() function.
    Inside of that function,
    axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7");
    this line throw error with catching but do nothing.
    So, overall javascript recognize flash player as version 2.0
    and something.
    I testd this on firefox 2.0.0.4 and IE 7.0.5730.11.
    There are all Korean version and failed.
    But Safri beta version for Window works fine.
    This does not have any Korean version yet. That's why I
    assume maybe
    that's causing the problem.
    So, I guess Adobe people will do something for this, but if
    you want to
    run it right now without this error message.
    Easiest way is just turn off that Flash player version
    detection in
    project properties > Flex Complier > HTML wrapper.
    Uncheck Require Flash player version.
    Or edit your Javascript by yourself in
    html-template>AC_OETags.js.
    like below;
    axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash");
    I hope this will be solved quickly.

  • Please fix the adobe flash player intergrity check error as soon as possible..

    Earlier I did not have this problem but now when I download the adobe flash player , the adobe download manager says at 100% that the flash player did not pass the intergrity check. I tryed every possible solution but nothing is working , it seems there is something wrong with the web page that offers the flash player download.
    this is how it happens
    adobe DLM starts downloading the flash player
    stucks at 2.2%
    reconnects & starts downloading
    stucks at 4.7%
    reconnects & starts downloading
    then at 100% an message appears saying that the flash player did not pass the intergrity check..
    if I resume the download process it goes on & repeats the same thing
    or if I stop the download process then it stops but the flash player completion movie appears saying that I have install flash player version 8 ! ( pretty weird )
    I hope adobe will take immediate action for this.
    Thank you.

    Thanks it worked ! , but I need to know why I cant download it using adobe DLM as usual ?  because this wasn't a problem earlier about 3 weeks ago
    this happened after re-installing the operative system ( but I have installed the flash player using DLM many times after re-installing the OS , therefore this was not a problem )
    my OS is windows XP service pack 2
    web browser - internet explorer 6
    additional information -
    I installed the flash player using DLM for mozila firefox in the normal way & it worked perfectly , no errors at all.  it seems this problem arises only for internet explorer. I even tryed the installation after upgrading IE 6 to IE 8 , but the problem is still there
    anyway thank you very much for the alternative download link.

  • The Adobe Flash Player Settings popup is appearing offscreen in my Flex4 app. How do I stop this?

    Hey guys,
    I have a page with some html content and my Flex app in the bottom left hand corner. At one point,  the Adobe Flash Player Settings popup appears, but I can  only just see the top of it, the rest is off screen towards the bottom. I set the height of the application in  the opening application tag, to 240. The whole app is visible in the  HTML page, but for some reason the background colour of the Flex app  goes past its height and width properties. This is probably causing the  Flash Player Settings popup problems right?
    Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the user can interact with  the popup? Thanks for reading.

    Thanks Mike,  Problem continues if I uninstall Adobe Flash
    Player....scanning computer now for malware.....amazing that the malware
    uses Adobe Flash Player even thought my control panel says the player does
    not exist.  Adds are not too bad but I do not like something going on out
    my control....what else is up??? That kind thing.  Will let you know when
    problem is solved, best, Allen Bealle

  • Problem with the adobe flash player, its falling down, what to do?

    Its always falling down almost immediately when i hear music. I have tried to update Adobe Flash player and so on. But it still not working, its strange but i have been thinking if Mozilla doesn't ''allow'' the adobe flash player. Do I need maybe change Firefox to something else??

    Is it only the sound or do you have other problems with Flash as well?
    See [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
    You can also try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.

  • Google Chrome installing without my consent when I update Adobe Flash Player

    To whom do I complain about Google Chrome installing without my consent when I updated Adobe Flash Player? I updated to Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X this morning. I saw no indication that Google Chrome was going to install and given that I have used GC in the past and absolutely hated it I would not have completed the Flash update. If there is an opt-out for Chrome when updating Flash it needs to be more obvious.
    I was annoyed but simply uninstalled Chrome and thought that would take care of it. Not so fast! Suddenly links in Outlook emails stopped working. All tolled I spent 2 hours figuring out what the problem was, finding the solution and editing the registry to get rid of Chrome. I have moved beyond annoyed to livid. I am self-employed and did not have 2 hours of my week to devote to this.
    I will never use Google Chrome. I tried it, didn't like it and I'm now I'm thoroughly done. Is there a way to permanently opt out of getting Google Chrome?
    So again, to whom do I complain?
    Tamara Gehle

    No one--if they gave a **** int he first place their software gurus woulnd't have created a download that essentially hijacks your computer and installs the google toolbar and google chrome--all without asking for consent. Too much of this crap goes on. Look at your task manager--all sorts of updates and crap running behind the scenes (google update runs constantly on my other computer till I deleted the updater.exe)-too much of it from hidden downloads like this site propgates. And to top it off, I can't edit Adopbe .pdf forms on line and save them anymore. So I found this link: http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer  where you can fill all those fillable fields in your .pdf doc, and save the damned thing. Works just like Adobe used to when you could fill in fields from forms on-line and save it.
