Will there be a 'Pepper' Linux Flash Player available from Google for versions after 11.2?
Adobe has stated that:
"For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the “Pepper” API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. "
To me this sounds like going forward, after 11.2, all Linux Flash Players will be released by Google as part of Chrome using Pepper and not by Adobe - but that there will be Linux Flash Players after 11.2, its just that they are only available in Chrome. However most people in the community seem to have interpreted this to mean 11.2 is the last Linux Flash Player ever other than 5 years of security updates from Adobe. Could an Adobe employee please clarify? Will there be Linux Flash Players, via Pepper and Chrome, for 11.3, 11.4. ...12 and so on? This is crutially important for those using the Flash Player within the embeded Linux market.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Which version of Flash Player do you have in a specific browser which is causing problems? http://tinyurl.com/fpversion

WILL THERE EVER BE SOUND with Flash Player?
I must use Version 11 or later of Flashplayer to view and listen to most of the material that I need on a daily basis. Very recently (within the last two months) this reqt has become paramount across many sites, including cable tv, professional instruction, etc. I have downloaded upgrades, uninstalled current versions, re-installed, followed NUMEROUS sets of advice, tasks, etc. I have upgraded to Internet Explorer 10. I run Windows 7 professional. I do not care about Google Chrome.
I just want to be able to hear sound again. There is nothing wrong with my hardware.
Please tell me how to successfully get rid of whatever the latest upgrades did to remove sound capabilities. Thanks.Do you hear sound with either of these two videos?

When will there be an adobe flash player available to Windows Phone users?
I'm just wondering when there will be a flash player available to windows phone users.
No one here would be privi to Apple's plans on the matter. Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature:

Adobe: No Linux Flash Player Till 2007
By Stacy Cowley, CRN
2:25 PM EDT Fri. Sep. 01, 2006
Impatient Linux users will have to wait till the end of the
year for even a
preview release of Adobe's Flash Player 9.
The company's lead Flash for Linux engineer, Mike Melanson ,
reported this
week in his blog that Adobe won't release any alpha versions
of its Flash
port, holding out instead for a full-featured beta scheduled
for release
sometime late this year.
Adobe recently released a major Flash overhaul, version 9,
for Windows and
Macintosh clients. For Linux users, the release lengthened
the Flash gap
between them and other users: Adobe skipped Flash Player 8
for Linux and
hasn't released a Linux update since mid-2004. Because Flash
is not fully
backward-compatible, Web content developed for the newer
Flash players often
won't run in version 7, the most current Linux version.
Adobe's market
research shows that 86 percent of U.S. computer users are
able to view Flash
8 content.
"I have to question a cross-platform strategy that has a bias
against one
platform," RedMonk analyst Stephen O'Grady, a Linux user,
gripped in his
blog. The lack of a modern Flash player leaves him unable to
view content on
a number of Web sites, including major destinations like
ESPN.com.
An Adobe spokesman said the company expects a full release of
Flash Player 9
for Linux in early 2007. Because of the "short" cycle between
Flash Player 8
and 9 -- ten months -- Adobe opted to skip version 8 for
Linux and move
directly to version 9, he said.
Melanson's blog tracks the day-to-day progress and decisions
Adobe is making
on Flash for Linux. A full-time Linux user since 1999,
Melanson shares the
frustration of his comrades about Adobe's Linux lag.
"In September, 2005, I happened [across a blog that]
mentioned in passing
that Macromedia was looking for someone to port Flash Player
to Linux. I
applied for the job and now here I am," he posted.
"When I started at Adobe, I found out that there is a shadow
cabal of
engineers that very much want to see the current Flash Player
run on Linux,
and would even try their hand with the current codebase from
time to time.
But there are only so many hacking hours in the day."
>>> It sounds to like Adobe are using outdated development
practices.
> The kinds of systems multiplatform developers use these
days
That's the point .. 'these days'.
Much of the problem is older code, must be over a decade old
now) which was
not well written. That is not an uncommon occurence in
products that have
such a long existence as flash player. Supported platforms,
development
techniques, developer guidelines, management etc all change
over the years
and things that seemed 'a good idea at the time' end up
becoming a problem.
In hindsight there would be many things that should have been
done
differently in the past .. but without a working time-machine
that cannot be
fixed, without an enormous investment in development to
rewrite the code
base in a manner that can be more easily ported .. which is
what is
happening.
Also the low level optimisations required for such
cpu-intense real-time
graphic processing are difficult to port, as they rely on
optimised assembly
code for different cpus and chipsets
And further there is the issue of different operating systems
and libraries
to link against on different platforms.
> nightly/daily automated builds
Anyone who thinks supporting new platforms its just a matter
of re-building
or doing daily builds is naive. There is no indication that
Adboe does not
make use of these practices. But continuous integration and
nightly builds
are only tools to maintain a port once it is done .. it
doesn't help you DO
the port in the first place.
> From a marketing point of view you want a simultaneous
release on all
> platforms
I'm sure Adobe DO want simulataneous release .. if it were
possible. But
that is not possible if the software is not ported to all the
platforms.
With it ported to the platforms the vast majority of people
use (windows and
mac) it makes sense to release the newer versions that are
required in order
to release other major revenue-earning products like Flex.
That is a valid
and sound marketting and financial decision.

You simply cannot get the performance demanded using
intrinsics.

It may be worth your while reading the blogs by the adobe
developers where
they discuss the issues and get feedback from people such as
yourself.

Exactly .. so MM/Adobe got the player out as quickly as
possible for the
majority of their customers. Making EVERYONE have to wait
while the player
was ported to all the other minority platforms would NOT have
been good for
the majority.
As they say .. you can't please all the people all the time.
You have to
pick you battles.
> In particular where websites are concerned you want to
get access

Exactly .. and FlashPlayer penetration and usage stats reveal
that it IS
availble to the vast majority of users and moreso than most
other
multi-media technologies

Have you even looked at all the figures (which you don't seem
to believe
anyway) .. its worldwide and broken down into regions.

Its only significant when you are part of it :) The vast
majority of
people, and those with the money to spend, are using Windows
and Mac.
That's where the customer base is.

I'm sure they won't .. which is why they are still activly
porting to other
platforms.
I would much rather see them take the time to do it right,
rather than let
quality slip in order to rush out a half-done product to
satisfy the demands
of the few.

Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the iPad?
Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the ipad2?
No - flash is not supported, and probably never will be (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and Adobe havn't created a version that works on iOS anyway).
Browsers such as Skyfire, iSwifter, and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but not all judging by the reviews. You might also find that some sites (especially news sites) have their own apps on the app store which let you get some of the content that you want. -
Linux Flash Player 10.2 Projector points to 10.1
Hi!
When I go to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and go to download the Linux Flash Player 10.2 Projector, the downloaded flashplayer_10_sa.tar.gz file, contains the projector 10.1 which has a date of October 22, 2010.Wizard_13-
You can get the new 10.2 linux Projector and debug Projector in the 10.2 archive located at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
Just download the 'Release and Content Debugger' archive for 10.2.152.26 with a date of 2/8/2011. Once you unzip/uncompress the archive you navigate to the linux folder and retrieve either release or debug Projector.

Is there a way to EMBED Flash player?
Hello Earth-lings,
Good Day!
First of all, I have created a website for a client of mine
but whenever they wanted to
visit their 100% Flash website, they can see the 'Flash
Detection - Download Flash
Player from Adobe' prompt but they could not install the
downloaded Flash Player
as they got an error something like ' You don't have
privilages . Please contact your
Admin.'
Is there any way to solve this issue?
PS. Sorry for the 2x posts.But is there a way to embed Flash Player in it so that it's
easier for
them - what I meant was the trouble to inform their admin
just for
this. -

https://blogs.adobe.com/cnflash/2011/09/23/adobe-flash-player-cannot-work-on-ie-9-after-in stallation-or-updates/From last 1 week I'm facing an issue with flash player. Each time when I enable Shockwave Flash Object 11.1.102.55 add-on in IE9 it does not allow to load the page and show a message to recover the page and even sometimes browser got crashes. When I disable the Shockwave Flash Object 11.1.102.55 page loaded without flash and works fine.
I have installed Google Chrome and flash is working fine in Google Chrome browser but I need IE9 as most of my application IE9 supporting.
My system configuration is as follows
- OS : Windows Vista 32 Bit with SP2
- Browser : IE 9
- Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security
Below are some steps which I have taken to resolve this issue but no success:
- Uninstalled the IE 9 and found the same issue in IE 8
- Enable the ActiveX filter but after that page works fine but flash image will not display
Kindly let me know if you required any log files or information to solve this issue. I need help from adobe to solve my system problem. I have considered above steps also given by you but no use. I have log an issue with https://bugbase.adobe.com/ but not get proper response.

In your opinion, should I uninstall Firefox if I am installing Waterfox?
Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox. I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox. (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers. -

I want to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player but its asking for a password and I cannot remember setting one when I first downloaded Adobe Flash. What to do?
Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
