Why use flash 11
I haven't been able to find much for change logs identifying what the benefits are of upgrading to Flash 11.
The reason I want to know is because after updating to Flash 11.2 I noticed a significant drop in Flash performance. I was able to solve the issue by downgrading back to 10.3. I was thinking I might try some of the versions of Flash I skipped (11.0, and 11.1) to see if I can find where the drop of performance began. But I don't even want to bother if there's no benefit to upgrading in the first place.
What do you think?

Hi
Does anyone know why Apple will not use Adobe Flash? It is really frustrating to be told " you need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash player" and know that it cannot be done!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. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
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.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
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." -
Why can't I find nor use flash player after a successful install
Just purchased an Imac Pro with OSX 10.8.5 and after various attempts to install/use Flash Player I'm still confused as to why the installer says all is well with the installation "installation succesfully completed" with no errors whatsoever, the troubleshooting site and, for that matter all applications, say "please install the latest Flash Player"
Spotlight search “Flash Player.plugin” (Search “This Mac” and choose "Show All in Finder")
Right click the Plugin and select “Open Enclosing Folder” Trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt files.
Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences.
Note: You'll need to hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu to access the [user] Library:
Without the "Option" key
And WITH
Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support. Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Preference Panes (not Preferences, but Preference Panes). Trash the Flash Player.prefpane file there.
Empty the trash.
Download the Flash Player (For Mac OS X) again if necessary.
Quit Safari and go to your downloads folder. Double click the DMG to “mount it”.
It will appear on your desktop and a small window will open.
Double click the installer. If you see a warning, click “Open” to let it run.
Click “I have read and agree… etc.” and click “Install”. Enter your password when asked.
You may see the following: click “Force Close All” if you do, and then click “Retry”.
The installer will run.
Choose your update preference, and click “Done”.
Open Safari again and click Safari>Preferences (Cmd+,)
Go to the Security tab. Make sure “Allow plug-ins” is checked. -

Sites using flash don't work on Firefox 4 beta 7, why not?
When I use FF 4.0b7 on my Mac I try to go to a website using flash (YouTube, Hulu, etc.) and it doesn't display anything. No video, nothing. But when I use FF 3.6.12 any website using flash works just fine! I've reinstalled Firefox and flash many times over, to no avail. Flash also works in other browsers, just not Firefox 4..
Flash has become even more buggy in this release of FF4b7. I get that spinning pinwheel all the time when I try to load a page with Flash, and the plug-in crashes quite often.

Hi,
I work at a college that is delivering courses online at a
distance. Currently, we are using a Windows Media Streaming server
as our main platform for video. We definitely want to be able to
stream, as our students are from all over the world and have many
different connection speeds - from t3 all the way down to dial up.
With Windows Media Streaming, we can configure the video at
multiple bit rates, within a single file, to address these various
speeds. The file is delivered at a speed appropriate to each user's
connection. We can also choose to force authentication for any
given fie, while still having most of our video clips available to
anyone.
We are currently evaluating our setup and looking into
various options. A lot has been said about Flash. I would love to
hear pros and cons for using flash as our primary platform. I have
heard that one advantage to Flash is that there is a way of setting
up your files, so that no player is needed. I would also like to
know if that is true. I sense that it is not - I had removed flash
from my computer, and could not play anything with a swf extension.
As I would suspect, my computer had no idea what it was without the
flash player installed.
I have also heard that the concept of streaming is inherent
within the Flash technology - that Flash files will automatically
stream in a similar manner to our current setup, where the speed
and flow of the delivery is dependent on the user's connection. Can
anyone comment on that?
Additonally, we would need a separate server, as we do not
want anything conflicting on the server where we house our Course
Management System. Is there anything to be aware of with this type
of setup?
Some of the video files that we use would need to be limited
to a certain audience - (due to copyright and contractual issues).
Is there a way for Flash to handle such issues? With Windows Media
STreaming server, we can opt to have any file require a username
and password. this requires manual addition of these credentials to
the server though, and is not a very efficient approach.
Please feel free to add any additional comments that you
think might be helpful. Thanks for any information you can give me.

i have installed flash over a dozen times now, disabled every
pop-up blocker, virus, or firewall protector, and no website will
ever load. they all tell me to download and install flash all over
again. the google toolbar manages to work (even though i don't want
it), but no matter how many times i install it, restart internet
explorer, and restart vista it is never recognized.
any advice, kind people smarter than me? i had used flash for
months up until a couple weeks ago when this began....help!!It's working!!!
Here's where I went and what I did:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19166&sliceId=2
Scroll down to #4. Just above that is this:
If the ActiveX Control for Flash Player fails to install,
download the executable installer.
If the information above has not resolved the issue, download
the executable Flash Player installer here:
Download and unzip Install_Flash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip. (
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_Flash_Player_9_Acti veX.zip)
Save this installer to your desktop, close out all
applications, and run the installer. This may help if you are
having trouble with the ActiveX installation from Adobe.com. To
confirm that Flash Player has installed successfully, please visit:

I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro. No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers. I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use. When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message. What is the point of a universal player that is not universal? It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8. Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?
Where are you getting Flash from?
Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot. -
Want to use Flash on company site - need numbers!
Hi guys,
I work as a graphic designer for a pretty major e-commerce
site. We're working on a redesign of our homepage. Myself, I want
to incorporate flash. Nothing major but possibly using it in a
ticker across the top of the page and maybe one day doing flash
based splash pages to other areas of the site.
I like flash and have used it on other sites before. However,
I'm running into a roadblock. My superiors are very hesitant to
(finally) take the leap into flash design, as they believe not
enough internet shoppers have flash installed on their machines.
I sent an e-mail with links to the census page on adobe.com
that states that flash is installed on 97% of internet enabled
computers. They don't believe it. In fact, one of my superiors
believes that number to be only 9%. I've tried to do some of my own
research but I'm having a hard time building a case. I desperately
need independent research that illustrates what I'm sure we all
know already: not only is the flash plug-in installed on the
overwhelming majority of internet enabled computers, but that users
who are savvy enough to shop online are exactly the type that would
have flash installed in the first place.
This is a shot in the dark but I'm hoping that someone out
there may have come across an article that may help my case.
Thanks much; I'm desperate!post54,

The numbers on Adobe's stats page don't always refer to the
*latest*
version of Flash Player -- that's an important note -- but
certainly, the
numbers are good:
http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html
Here's the methodology used to derive those numbers:

Are the naysayers on your end willing to cite a reference or
two? ;)
> In fact, one of my superiors believes that number to be
only 9%.
Ummm. Where is that number coming from? Has this person not
visited
Amazon.com? They use Flash content. That's a pretty major
e-commerice
site. His this person not heard of MySpace (et. al.), YouTube
(et. al.),
and the like, all of which support (and sport) Flash content?
How about
cnn.com? Check out any of the major TV outlets, abc.com,
fox.com, cbs.com,
etc. I'm preaching to the choir, though ... I realize that.

This might prove difficult, because it sounds (to me) like
you're up
against an emotional reaction more than anything else. If no
one jumps in
with the article(s) you're looking for, how about turning the
argument on
its ear? You mentioned that the Flash content you're after is
"nothing
major" -- more eye candy than anything else -- and if that's
so, why not use
something like Geoff Stearns' SWFObject to detect Flash
Player and serve up
an alternative if necessary?

Why is Flash CS4 so terrible in Windows 7 64 Bit?
Hello,
Well, I still have yet to see any posts or answers to posts that address the following problems with Flash CS4 on Windows 7 64 Bit:
1. Flash takes half of forever to load.
2. Flash is slow.
3. Flash will not allow to Test Movies or Test Scenes. (This one is the most maddening and irritating.)
4. Will not publish files due to an incorrect parameter. (Notice it doesn't say WHICH one.)
Basic Specs:
Windows 7 64 Bit OS
8GB of RAM
Intel i5 750
I would really hate to have to revert to Windows XP just to use Flash CS4 reliably and I certainly am in no mood to purchase yet ANOTHER upgrade to CSx.
Windows 7 has been out for around a year. Certainly someone at Adobe can illuminate why this program functions so poorly in Windows 7.
Thank you.
MGLOh, and if by chance you, too, run Windows 64 Bit and Flash CS4, I would appreciate if you could share any thing you did to your system or installation to make it work better.
Please don't just say, "Well, it works for me, blah blah blah."
Thanks. -
Can anyone help me with flash buttons? I am trying to build
my first website, and my five flash buttons (inside a 5 col. table)
for page navigation work fine in testing all 5 web pages with
mozilla firefox, and they look the same on the index page when
testing with IE-7. However when I begin navigating to other pages
in IE-7, the flash buttons disappear, and the 5 cols in the table
where each flash button was placed now are not equal sizes anymore
like they are on the index page. In my files area on the right, I
notice 3 out of the five buttons I created have about 15 to 20
"generations" shown there, with numbers 1 through 15 or even more
to qualify them tacked on to the end of the names. Where do these
come from, and why are 2 out of the five only have 1 "generation"
each? I never expected this, and I think it has something to do
with the problem, but maybe not. Please help me if you can!If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
Your problem is caused by navigating away from the previewed
page. In
general, this is not a good thing to do, since root relative
links will not
work as expected when you do that (locally).

Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!Lab79 wrote:
Are you on Apple's payroll?
well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

How to use Flash to create an interactive diagram
Hi all.
I am an extreme newbie. I would like to create an interactive diagram and somebody said I should use Flash to do it.
The idea is to create an organisational chart (like the ones you can produce in MS Word 2010). Each position will have its own box or button. When a user clicks on that box or button, a Word document or internet link will be activated and take the user to this other resource.
Is it possible to do this in Flash?
The reason why I am choosing Flash is because I would like to make alot of these diagrams and they have to go into Moodle. Apparently Flash is the only program I should use to import the diagram into Moodle.
Can anybody please help me with some advice on how to do this?
Thanks
SharynFor the diagram end of things... start by creating the diagram in Flash. Whatever you intend to use as clickable items, create them as movieclip symbols so that you will be able to assign instance names to them. You assign instance names by selecting the object on the stage and entering a unique name in the Properties panel where it says <Instance Name>. That name will be used in the code you will use to create the clicking/linking functionality.
The the linking end of things, start simple... create a diagram that has just one item to click and get that one item working. What you learn from that can be applied to the larger version. The same as stated in the first paragraph applies. The only additional info you need is creating the actual code. To help with that you need to decide which version of Actionscript you will be using, which might depend on which version of Flash you are using. AS3 is the most recent version of Actionscript, and it first came into being back with Flash CS3.
The first thing you need to do to make a movieclip useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a movieclip work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(req); -
The documentation for Flash Builder 4 beta says that after opening flash from flash builder, I should click a "done" button in flash and flash should close and what I created in flash should be included as a component or container in Flash Builder. Using the Flash Builder 4 beta on Windows, when I click on the "create in flash" button on the properties panel for either the new flash component or container, Flash CS4 opens, I create something in Flash and no "done" button is present. Nor is anything present in the menus resembling a "done" option. Where is it?
Hi Jeffrey:
Still no done button. Now under commands in Flash I can convert symbols to flex components and containers and these show up in the Flash library.

I apparently didn't get one. I've looked under various workspace configurations. Another thing that seems odd is that when Flash opens I get the opening panel that allows me to select the type of file and version of AS I want to use. I select new file with AS3. Any ideas on why the "done" button wouldn't be present and if the opening panel is what I should expect on opening Flash after clicking the "create in Flash" button?
