Where Is Flash Player Used?

1. Where is Flash Player used?
I am wondering when I am using Flash Player.
2. How can I know when I'm using Flash Player?
3. Am I using Flash Player when I:
a. Play a Facebook game?
b. Watch a You Tube video?
c. Watch a Vimeo video?
d. Watch a video on any news website like CNN or ABC?
e. Watch a video on any other website?
f. Other

The easiest way to check for a video is to right click on the video's screen. You'll see some reference to Flash Player, as noted:
I'm not sure if this works for games, since I don't play any, but you can try.

Where and how can I know which version of http protocol that flash player used?

If flash player uses web brower's http protocol?

Is the EOB a PDF document?
Firefox updates every 6 weeks and the current version is 31.0. Rolling back almost 6 months is not recommended for security reasons. If that's their best answer, I suggest we either figure out a workaround for getting the document, or you just use a different browser for their site.

Where is Flash PLayer located?

I have downloaded flash player 11.1,102.55 several times. It does not show up in my "All Programs" search nor is it listed in the Program files\Adobe folder. It does appear in the control panel uninstall listing. My .flv files are opened by the Wiindows viewer which does not work. I have used the search feature for "Flash player" and it finds nothing. I am using Windows 7 64 bit OS and Internet Explorer 9. I have only had this computera few months and Flash Player has never worked. Here is the last entry in the flashInstall.log

Thank you for your quick reply. I may be mistaken about the .flv file
type. I am trying to view Youtube files and was told the file type is
.flv

My .flv files are opened by the Wiindows viewer which does not work.
To play .flv files requires the Flash projector not the web Flash Play.

Flash Player use to execute the main class entry point before rendering. Now it does not

Adobe Flash Player use to execute the main class entry point before rendering the first frame. Now using the latest browsers and Flash Player 11.8 (11.8.800.94, or 11.8.800.97 for Chrome).
With one of our swf apps, there are visual display objects on the first frame of the timeline. When the main class constructor is executed, those display objects are set to visible = false. So previously those display objects were never displayed because the first frame did not render until after the main class code was ran.
Now when we browse to the our website, we find that those display objects are visible for a split moment of time (such as a quarter of a second).
It appears that this may be a bug. We are wondering this could be new behavior based on loading/unloading the swf to optimize CPU usage and that Flash Player is taking a snapshot of the internal state of the first frame and displaying the cached snapshot before it actually loads.
So...Chris (or other Adobe representative), is Flash Player supposed to be rendering the display before any code executes it runs the main class?

Not that I'm aware of. If this is something that just started with 11.8, then we could be running into some sort of bug injection. Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? When adding the bug, please include sample code, application or URL so we can quickly test this out internally. If you'd like to keep this private, feel free to email the attachment to me directly ([email protected]).
Once added, please post back with the bug number and we'll investigate from there.

How to choose the speakers Flash Player uses?

How on earth do I choose the speakers which Flash Player uses?
I downloaded the latest Flash Player, and it worked fine. Then I had a Skype conversation, and now Flash uses the same "speakers" which Skype uses ie a USB headset.Flash player can no longer see the computer's speakers.
There seems to be absolutely no way in the web-based setup to tell Flash Player which sound output to choose. In Windows control panel (WIn XP SP3) the defaults for both sound and voice playback are set to the speakers (Realtek HD Audio) - Windows media player plays correctly over the speakers. If I right-click on an embedded video, I get a settings manager which lets me choose the microphone and camera Flash Player uses, but not the speakers. And I can't choose the speakers in the general sound controls of the Realtek HD audio, because those controls have no way of referring to any individual program. It is wierd!!!!
I don't think there is anything cracked or broken - it was fine this morning, now not. How do I get sound coming out of the speakers again?
Many thanks

Where are Flash Player system prefs kept (OS X)?

Does anyone know where the Flash Player System Preferences are kept? I'm refering to where it stores the preferences for the options in System Preferences in OS X? I'm trying to remote-deploy 11.3.x on 30+ machines and would like to have the "allow Adobe to install updates" option set in preferences via a script so I don't have to manually set this on each machine. If I can find out where these preferences are stored, then I'm good, but trying to find this in the zillion folders and sub-folders installed on a machine is proving a task in itself...

Adobe flash player uses 250% of my cpu playing videos...how is that possible?

Adobe flash player uses 250% of my cpu playing videos...how is that possible?

That is totally possible if you do not have Flash set to
enable hardware accelerations. Right click on a playing
Flash video and select settings from the pop up.
Click the little monitor icon at the bottom left corner.
Check the check box "Enable hardware acceleration."
With out this set, the CPU does all the work of decoding the
video instead of the video card.
update:
As a quick check, went to Hulu and started an episode of
Warehouse 13. With hardware acceleration enabled, CPU
was at 37% for Flash. With hardware acceleration disabled,
this jumped up to 138%.
The test was done on a 2011 Mac Mini Server 2.0 GHz, quad core i7.

Invisible Text in Flash Player Using Windows XP

I seem to have a problem with the Flash Player and invisible text. The Flash Player will load but there will be some buttons that are not labeled with text, so you don’t know what the buttons are, fill-in text boxes that have no text or text description, so you don’t know what to type in them, and drop-down lists that are blank, but there is supposed to be text to select from.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox, that did nothing; unistalled the Shockwave Flash Plug-in and reinstalled it, that did nothing; unistalled Flash and Shockwave standalone Players entirely, leaving only the Plug-in, nothing; uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player standalone, nothing there either. I cannot seem to find a solution and every browser I have, the same problem occurs – invisible text.
I was reading on the Adobe Forum that there is this same issue sometimes with Mac and that the problem seems to be font incompatibility.
This happens with any browser I use – Firefox, Flock, PaleMoon, IE, Opera, Netscape.
My OS is Windows XP Home Edition
Main browser is FireFox version 3.6.17
Shockwave Flash Plug-in version is 10.3.183.7
I also have the Shockwave Player standalone version 11.6.1.629
Has anyone, using Windows, had this same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks for any advice.

Invisible text in Flash enabled web pages is a frustrating problem that is affecting Mac Users who play Farm Town (8.5+ million people on FaceBook) and probably many other games too. See this forum as an example of the problem: http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2531318
Before even reading this forum I did everything that appears here with no success and then everything listed in the referenced forum (above) with no success... but the following did fix the invisible text problem and I hope that it will help others too.
1. Drag the Font folder from the User directory to the trash ie. ~/Library/Fonts. (where ~ is = your User Account Name.)
Be careful; this is NOT the Font folder in the main library.
2. Download Font Finagler v1.5 beta for Mac OS 6, and clean the font cashe files following the instructions for this free shareware app.
http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/
3. Open the Font Book app which is a new app that is included with the Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6). (Font Book is in the Applications folder.) Read the Help info for this app and then: Choose "All Fonts" in the left column and then choose "Select Duplicate Fonts" from the Edit menu. Disable or delete all duplicate fonts that this process identifies. After dealing with the duplicate fonts, select "All Fonts" again in the left column and choose "Validate Fonts" from the File Menu. Deal with the results that it will display using the help file for guidance. Interestingly, in my case there were no corrupt fonts in my Mac system, but the validation process identified more duplicate fonts that the previous step did not find. Again deal with the findings and disable or delete the duplicate fonts.
4. Reboot your Mac and get on with using your Flash enabled web pages. Duplicate fonts seems to be the problem that cause invisible text in Flash enabled web pages.
Hope this helps you... it worked for me.

Do I need to install flash player using Win 7 Pro and IE11?

Hi,
Could I have a definitive yes/no answer to, "Do I need a flash player plug-in when I am using 64 bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 and IE11?"
I am using IE11 v.11.0.9600.16476
Flash v.12.0.0.38
I am not, as far as I can see, have any problems viewing anything. But Adobe insist I should be using Flash v.12.0.0.43 and they identify my browser as Gecko.
I understand that Gecko is usually identified as Firefox but is it correctly identified as IE?
Windows 8.1 with IE11 states that it is a plug-in less browser; but is Windows 7 with IE11 plug-in less or not...???
Very confusing!
Regards.

Flash Player for IE is integrated by Microsoft with Windows 8 and 8.1 only... IE11 is a "rolling train wreck", though. Almost NOTHING on the web can properly identify it if it can be identified at all. As long as your current Flash Player is working, I'd "let a sleeping dog lie". Until you NEED to update it, don't with IE11.
With WIn 8.1 it's the worst combination in all computing history. Be glad you still have 7.

Flash Player uses excessive memory when in use for a long time.

Good morning,
I'm using firefox with flash player viewing streaming video from www.bloomberg.com/tv/us.The longer this runs the more user memory it uses (from Windows Task Manager, Processes tab).
I had this site running for about 4 houres and at that time it was using 1.7 GB memory and the video was getting eratic. This shows up in a file called "plug-incontainer.exe". I terminated the process and flash player disappeared with a message the said "flash player has crashed".
It doesn't matter if I use Flash Player 10 or 11 or Firefox 3.6 or 21.01.
This also occurs with Internet explorer Ver. 8 except it's manifested in a second instance of Iexplore. Same creeping memory useage.
OS is Windows Xp sp2, processor is a 3GHz hyperthreading P4 with 2GB of installed memory.
I really don't think it should do this.

Was the computer turned off or asleep? It won't hurt to have it taken off. Normally I wouldn't worry about it unless it was going to be a few more months.

My Flash player, used to be on MSN , I don't know how it got onto Google,The way it is I can't use it.

I have had MSN for a long time, I know that I have an account for Adobe , I don't know how it got changed but when I attempt to install my Flash Player it will not allow to enter it on MSN. It keeps showing Google ! If I can't get the Adobe Flash Player I can't use my Computer . I am not sure how Google got on my Unit . I have attempted to have removed it without any success

And provide an explanation that people can understand! Perhaps post some screenshots: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

Where's Flash Player 9 for my x86_64 linux?

I'm waiting for that plugin for so long. I can't view
anything it's made in Flash 8 or 9. Last days, you finally release
player for x86 linux, but what about 64 bit?? Why are you release
player's for Windows so quickly and make Linux users wait. Are they
better or what??

You still need a 32-bit browser to use Flash Player because
the library is compiled for the 32-bit ABI. This shouldn't be a
problem if you use a standards compliant distro. The x86_64
architecture is a multilib architecture. Ergo, if you are using a
standards compliant distro, it will support both the 32-bit and
64-bit ABI side-by-side. There's really no reason to provide a
64-bit version when the 32-bit version works just fine.
Here are two ways to get Flash Player 9 installed on the
x86_64 architecture. You can apply this
patch
to the installer before executing. Or you can edit the installer
script and comment out the line that causes it to exit. Look for
this section in the installer (around line 250) and comment out the
exit_cpu $TEMPARCH line.
i[3456]86)
ARCH=i386
exit_cpu $TEMPARCH
esac
The installer is being too stringent in excluding the x86_64
architecture. It really should look for the 32-bit program
interpreter if it detects an x86_64 architecture and only exit if
THAT isn't found. Of course, that would be no guarantee that a
32-bit browser existed on the target machine.

Where are flash player parameters stored?

Hello,

where are these parameters stored in the computer? because i want to delpoy my parameters on all the computers in my enterprise.

PS: Sorry for my bad English, i speak french

It depends on the settings. Some you can control, some you cannot.
What you need is the FLash Player Admin guide:

That will help you figure out how to reach your goal of adjusting settings network-wide..
