Why are websites requiring Flash player?

With HTML5, I expected fewer websites to be requiring Flash player. Now more YouTube videos are requiring Flash, as well as post-mainstream media websites like MSNBC. Are they TRYING to turn the earth backwards, or what?

I'm getting ready to launch an HTML-based 'application' service, and I also think HTML5 fluency is probably an important tool in any developer's future. I'm having a little trouble getting my developer skills to work in conjunction with a website, and to do so securely. But I understand that browsers will soon (some sort of time unit) have a secure space for serving applications. ('Secure' in the sense that javascript is a 'secure' space for a web-server to receive user-defined variables).

    Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app for that site).

    Hi Chynann,
    First I'd recommend trying the steps outlined in these FAQs
    Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
    ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer
    After completing those steps, go to this page and post back with the version reported as being installed.

  • How do I view websites that require flash player ?

    I am trying to view online catalogues with my iPad and they will not open as they require flash player. Is there a solution?

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.

  • Unable to launch yahoo chess (Yahoo! Chess requires Flash Player 7 or later and JavaScript enabled in your browser.)

    When trying to launch/play chess from the yahoo games website, I get the following message: "Yahoo! Chess requires Flash Player 7 or later and JavaScript enabled in your browser''. I have verified that I do have Flash Player 10 installed and that JavaScript is enabled. I'm able to launch/play chess from Yahoo Games when I use IE as my browser.

    You either do not have Flash installed for Firefox or it is disabled.
    In Add-ons > Plugins, look for "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''".
    *If it is there and you see an "Enable" button, click the "Enable" button; that means it was disabled.
    *If it is not there, you do not have it installed; see the following.
    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

  • Firefox freezes when going to a site or page that requires Flash Player, such as YouTube. I have the most updated version of Flash. Is there a solution to this problem?

    I'm having trouble visiting sites or pages that require Flash Player, Firefox will just freeze when they're partially loaded and it will stay frozen until I close Firefox. This will happen with any page that uses flash player. I can disable it, but then I can't access the content which requires Flash Player, have to use a different browser and I'd rather just use Firefox.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    Miu Miu Wooden Handle Tote
    I am constantly drawn to cream colored leathers. Browns and
    whites can be harsh at times, so adding a bit of cream to tone it
    down is the perfect option. And whites do not have to stop being
    worn after Labor Day, in fact winter whites are perfectly luxe for
    the season. But I typically opt for a white that is creamier. And
    the soya cream leather on the Miu Miu Wooden Handle Tote offers a
    feeling of winter resort. The wooden handle does give the bag a
    very resort feel, but would look perfect in a more tropical area
    (like South Florida). The wooden handle may not fit on your
    shoulder well, and even if it did it may grind into your shoulder a
    bit. Of course Miu Miu added in an optional detachable shoulder
    strap. I adore this bag, adore the color of the leather, and adore
    the wooden accent. Buy through (Buy through

  • What is the minimum required flash player version for FMP?

    subject pretty much says it all.
    and, does FMP degrade gracefully with older FP versions?  e.g., does it use StageVideo only if a user has the required flash player version?

    Oracle says that from 10g onwards, not need to have any other cluster software since it is providing CRS (cluster ready services) with 10g. However, having HACMP installed would be a good idea. I heard many problem, earliy release of 10g, aboug just using CRS instead of other clustered services.
    Well, we are using SHARQ d240 storage, but, didn't required any raw partition, and also not using ASM. Basically, we are in a testing mode.

  • Why we cannot download flash player

    WHy we cannot download flash player..""

    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."

  • Ever since I upgraded to firefox 5, a site that required flash player doesn't work - it worked with the older version

    A site that worked on your old version doesn't work anymore. When I go to the page it says to download a plugin, but then it comes up with "no suitable plugins were found." I believe the site requires flash player. I have reinstalled it and it works with other programs that require it.

    I wasn't able to get to any of those sites without having serious hanging issues. I just uninstalled Flash, rebooted, then reinstalled it. Everything seems to be working fine now.

  • Why does my Adobe Flash Player keep crashing? I have taken the steps that I received in the "Learn More" section of the crash but it still crashes.
