Why Doesn't Flash 9 Work in Safari?

I am a Flash developer and I would like to know when (or if) Safari will ever be capable of playing Flash 9 content.
I know there is a way for me to 'hack' Safari with a bug-fix but this is unhelpful because I'm not concerned about my Safari browser - I'm concerned about my website users who don't know how to do these things, besides, there's no guarantee that they would do this even if they knew how.
Flash 9 plays fine on Firefox for about a year, meanwhile, Safari is treating Flash 9 like Microsoft's Internet Explorer treated W3C compliance.
Could somebody please update me on why Safari is dragging their feet on adopting the Flash Player 9?
I use OS X version 10.4.11
With Safari Version 3.1.1 (4525.18)

Adobe FlashPlayer should in some cases first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player versions (v.9.0.115.0 and 9.0.124.0) in some cases conflict with Leopard 10.5.4, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

    HI..
    Try troubleshooting the Flash plugin ..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin before reinstalling.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

  • Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

    Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.  I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions.  I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over.  The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox.  It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed.  I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest.  Getting very frustrated.  They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments.  I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

    So is it actually installed, or is it not?  If not, download and run the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If it still does not work correctly, check

    In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

  • Why doesn't Flash have the option to publish to .flv?

    Why doesn't Flash or Adobe Media Encoder have the option to publish or covert .swf to .flv?
    Any suggestions on free .swf to .flv coverters?

    Thanks, kowboy.  I've just seen a few of those video conversion tools that specifically advertise .swf to .flv conversion.  They may degrade the quality and make certain features not work just like when you convert to .avi.  I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of those tools.
    I know this is a fairly odd situation.  Both myself and the other flash developer advised that they not use Flash to create 5 min plus videos and then wrap them in .flv flash players.

  • I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    why doesn't siri work way from home

    It does for me. But it requires an Internet connection, so if you don't have mobile data turned on or your account isn't provisioned for it or you are out of range of a cell tower Siri can't talk to the servers.

  • Iphone 3g - why doesn't it work?

    I purchased a new pair of Nike running shoes excited to link up the sensor and get started using with my iphone 3G. However, I find out the Nike Plus only works with an iphone 3GS. I'm now going to have to return the Nike Sensor for a refund instead of having to upgrade to another Iphone model. Is there anyway around this? Why doesn't it work with the Iphone 3G? What makes the operating system in the 3GS different so it works?

    As evidence too there is a hack which gets it working as well:

  • Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod touch with 2.1 software?

    Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod Touch with 2.1 software?

    The second gen iPod Touch has firmware version 2.1.1(5F138) whereas the 1st Gen only allows 2.1 (5F137). Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's likely.
    Why doesn't Apple allow those with the Nike+iPod sports kit to use their external sensor on the 1st Gen iPod Touch?!?! I can't see why the sensor would be incompatible with the right firmware upgrade!!

  • Why doesn't JavaMail work, but PHP mailer does?

    I am trying to use JavaMail to send emails from my webserver. I've plugged in the host and the addresses are valid, but I am getting 550 errors. I've searched and found that I should change a setting on my mail server to allow relays from my webserver. However, we have a PHP mailer working on our webserver now, so presumably that relay is already in there. Why does the PHP work but the JavaMail doesn't?

    Can you turn on session debugging and post the protocol trace that shows the failure?
    The error codes alone are not enough, you usually need to look at the message included
    with the error code.
    Also, have you found the JavaMail FAQ?

  • Flash has stopped working in Google Chrome. Mac OS X Lion, Chrome 22, Flash works in Safari & Firefo

    Flash player no longer working in Google Chrome -- Chrome Version 22.0.1229.79, Mac OS X Lion. Flash works fine in Safari and Firefox. Pages with flash freeze -- can't scroll (e.g, nytimes.com); on youtube, sound plays but the video windows are black spaces. This problem appeared Sept. 26, 2012. I was running Snow Leopard; updated to Lion in hopes this would resolve the problem, but the problem is still there. If I go to chrome:plugins and disable Flash, I can scroll around nytimes.com and the flash box/window just tells me to install flash.
    I have tried: Clearing Cache and all other data in Chrome. Going to the Library in Finder and deleting the Google folder from Library>Caches, then uninstalling Chrome and reinstalling it. None of these have fixed the problem.

    Are you using a 2nd monitor? It appears to be related to that, and somebody somewhere is working on it. When I disconnected my external monitor, the problem disappeared on my laptop; apparently there will be an update to Chrome -- though not necessarily a stable one yet -- beginning next week to address the problem. See here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=152525

  • Why Doesn't "find" work in VBS?

    I'm trying to write a VBS module that will
    detect when the data in a channel crosses
    some threshold. As an example, I include
    a line to check when channel 56 becomes
    greater than 5.0
    Here is the VBS line that checks for this:
    FirstValue = find( Ch(56) > 5.0, 1 )
    When ever I execute this script, DIAdem displays
    an error dialog with this message:
    Error in (Row:52, Column:9):
    Error message from DIAdem OCMD-interface:
    Invalid return value of the DIAdem kernel !
    What does this mean? Why doesn't the "find" function
    work? What other means can I use to do this operation?

    Hi jbrandim,
    The first parameter in the find() function is a string, so when you use this function with VBS syntax, you need to enclose it in double quotes:
    FirstValue = find("Ch(56) > 5.0", 1)
    Additionally, you can also call this function as a Formula Calculator function, since it is in fact a DIAdem function and not a VBS function:
    Call FormulaCalc("L1:= find(Ch(56) > 5.0, 1)")
    FirstValue = L1
    The cryptic error message is an artifact of the translation process between VBScript and the DIAdem find function. DIAdem automatically maps the return value of the find function, which is an integer, to the variant variable "FirstValue", as well as the input parameters. The mapping process from Variant to string in the first find() parameter failed, and
    that led to the error message you received.

  • Why doesn't tmobile work at ORD?

    Since upgrading to OS X 10.7.3, logging onto wifi networks has been much more difficult. At ORD, at least in the United Club, it is impossible using the T-Mobile network. Whenever I connect to the tmobile network, it opens the new (supposedly-quasi-automatic) wifi login screen. But it gets stuck there forever, with an indication that it is trying to connect to an apple URL. Why? Is there away around this? Here's the screen I get (forever):

    alright, you guys, forget about what i just said...   i know why it's not working, it is a file that is not as a quadratic picture but one that is just cut out of a quadratic picture. so it's probably that's why it is not working....
    so let's take this thing to a different level:
    how can i get things that i cut out from editors like gimp and made a jpeg file out of it get into imovie when they are not quadratic? 
    My idea is to make a video and add in the foreground some little pictures. something like a logo that i can't make with the writing software of imovie. So hoy can i add such a thing or is it even possible?

  • My 'paid-for' version of Roboform, ( v. 6.10.2) works with FF v. 3.6.17, so why doesn't it work in FF v. 4?

    I have a 'paid-for' copy of Roboform, (v. 6.10.2) which works just fine and free on Firefox v. 3.6.17. But it does not work on Firefox version 4. I do not want to buy another version of Roboform to use on FFv4. What happened? Why does it not work anymore?
    I cannot afford to buy another,newer computer, nor do I wish to.
    I downgraded to FF v. 3.6.17 and Roboform v. 6.10.2 works just fine.
    Please tell me what you changed between FF v. 3.6.17 to v. 4 to make Roboform v. 6.10.2 to stop working.

    Quite honestly, ''IMHO'', I think Siber Systems decided that they want a new source of revenue by forcing users to purchase a new version to be able to use Roboform in Firefox 4.0. Version 6 seemed to work in the Firefox 4 betas all the way up until the actual release of Firefox 4.0, then we started seeing a huge number of complaints posted here about users being forced to upgrade to version 7 and the annual fee that comes with that version.
