Why do i have to always update flash player before i can preview page in a browser?

everytime i load a swf file into dwcs6, i need to update my flash player before i can use it?  Why?  how do i get round this so i dont have to update all the time?
thanks

Umm... don't use Flash?
It's a dead web technology.  The world's most popular web devices don't support it (iOS, Androids, etc...)  IMO, you would be doing yourself and your site a visitors a huge favor if you moved to HTML5 video.

  • I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected.  I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept.  Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

    I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected.  I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update.  How can I update adobe flash?

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

  • Why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view videos

    why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view video clips?

    If you have a new-ish Mac or one you just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, Adobe Flash Player is not installed by default. Since some web content is created specifically to be seen only with Adobe Flash Player, if you want to see that content, you need to install it.
    It's trivial to do so. Start here:

  • I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

    Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
    The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
    I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
    Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
    Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
    When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
    Could that be the main problem?
    I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
    Please help?

    You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
    Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
    Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
    Thanks,

  • Why do I have to download Adobe Flash Player to watch certain videos?

    I have a new Mac Pro and when I want to watch some videos on YouTube or videos for my online class, I get the "missing plug-in" message and am directed to download Adobe Flash Player. This is frustrating because I DESPISE just about anything Adobe! It's one of the main reasons I switched from PC to a Mac. Do I have to download Adobe Flash Player? Do I have another option? Should I stop whining about it and just do it even though it is a piece of crap?

    Probably.
    I use Chrome for all my YouTube and other flash video related activities, but I am also an avid YouTube troll.

  • Firefox does not play videos online except on YouTube. I have the latest updated flash player . What is the problem ?

    The videos do not play except on YouTube. It shows an error message that it can't play the video. I have the latest updated Adobe Flash player. And the same videos work well on IE and GC !

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Cannot update Flash player on Mavericks or Yosemite?

    I have tried to update Flash Player on my MacBook Pro for both Mavericks and Yosemite, but it always gives me this message:
    How can I successfully install flash player?

    As I have stated previously, this does not work. There is no tool to uncompress the plugin inside the bundle. Installation fails on Yosemite every time, no matter what installer is used.
    Please read this thread to examine my findings.

  • Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..."

    Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..."  My computer tells me it is installed and running.

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
    1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    6. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    7. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Why doesn't Firefox auto-update Flash Player like Chrome does?

    For security reasons and less hassle, I like Chrome auto-updates Flash Player. Why doesn't Firefox do this?

    Google Chrome has it's own version of the Flash plugin that is apart of the Google Chrome installation files.<br />
    So Google needs to do a full update with every Flash release.
    Firefox uses the Flash plugin as installed in your Linux distribution,<br />
    If your Ubuntu Linux distribution doesn't have an automatic update for Flash then you need to do that manually.
