Windows 8 - Adobe Flash

I just got a new Dell computer with Windows 8 and Adobe Flash won't work - tons of error messages.  I can't get a new version or make Adobe compatible with Windows 8 or both.  Very frustrating to have a new computer that now does less than a six year old computer that was running on Vista.  What do I have to do to get Adobe to be compatible with Windows 8?  Is there a better product than Adobe that is compatible with Windows 8?

Flash Player on Win 8 is handled by Windows Update directly. Nothing anyone at this point can do. Feel free to download Chrome which has Flash built-in.

  • I cannot zoom in or out in a Mozilla window running Adobe Flash.

    I cannot zoom out (or in) in a Mozilla window running Adobe Flash. Ctrl+/- , Ctrl up/down and using the mousepad to zoom in or out (I have Win7), and holding Ctrl while scrolling does not work. I cannot zoom out more using Adobe Flash either.
    I can change the zoom with windows with menu bars, but this one does not have one.

    You can apply the Ken Burns effect by clicking on "Ken Burns" rather than Fit.
    If you would like the Ken Burns to be able to go beyond the boundaries of the photo so you can zoom more, choose "Allow Black".

  • How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
    He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
    I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
    How do I fix this?

    hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
    I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
    currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
    and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
    by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

  • How do I remove an Adobe Flash Player pop up window?

    While accessing a Yahoo home page news video an Adobe pop up window blocked the central portion of a video. 
    The pop up window states:
    "Adobe Flash Player Settings
    Local Storage
    l.yimg.com is requesting permission to
    store information on your computer.
    Requested up to: 10KB
    Currently used: 0KB
    icon of 'folder'.   icon stating 'Allow'.    icon stating 'Deny'. "
    How do I remove this Adobe pop window???

    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l
    Websites might occasionally want to store information, such as your high score from a game that runs in  Flash Player or what products you have purchased, to your computer. In the Global Storage Settings panel, you can control how much disk space websites can use to store information, or you can prohibit websites from storing any information at all. (If you prohibit websites from storing information, the website might or might not function as intended.)
    Use this panel to specify the default storage settings for websites that you haven't yet visited. (To change settings for websites you have already visited, use the Website Storage Settings panel.) The following list explains the storage options:
    If you don't want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never Ask Again. This action doesn't delete any information that is already stored. (To delete existing information, use the Delete options in the Website Storage Settings panel.)
    If you want to decide on a case-by-case basis whether applications from a website can save information on your computer, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application wants to save information on your computer, you will be asked for more disk space.
    If you want to let applications from any website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
    If you want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will be asked for more disk space while the application is running.
    (Flash Player 8 and later) If you do not want to let third-party content store information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer.
    When you visit a website, the address shown in the browser address bar is usually where most of the website is located. For example, if you visit a fictional website www.[hotel].com, most of the website is located at www.[hotel].com. Sometimes, websites combine content from different sources. For example, www.[hotel].com might display a reservations form in Flash that actually comes from [reservations.hotel].com. The content from the latter website is called third-party content.
    Third-party content might try to store information on your computer. In the hotel reservations example, you might be willing to let [reservations.hotel].com store information on your computer, such as data about which hotels you prefer, so that you can make a hotel reservation. However, you might not be willing to let third-party content store information on your computer in other situations. For example, a car-rental company, www.[my-car-rental].com, might have a banner ad on www.[hotel].com, to track your website usage or to record your preferences.
    To prohibit all third parties from storing information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer. This option is available only with Flash Player 8 and later. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the most recent version of Flash Player available.
    (Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and later) If you do not want to store Flash components on your computer, deselect Store Common Flash Components To Reduce Download Times.
    Flash Player lets you store common or shared SWF and FLV files and other components from different websites on your computer to significantly reduce download times and allow faster viewing. For example, www.[hotel].com and [reservations.hotel].com might both use the same Adobe components on their sites.
    For an overview of issues related to storage, see What are storage settings? in the discussion of the Settings Manager.

  • 11.7.700.169 Error: "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working" -- HELP!!!

    I have encountered this problem many times now. Way to many to be anywhere near happy about. I can understand having an issue with it and looking up stuff on my smart phone instead. But this program is also affecting my online game World of Warcraft. I'm not happy.
    Anytime I open any program that uses the flashplayer, I get the pop up window of "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working", and then it force closes.
    I have repeatedly removed it, re-installed, you name it. It's not working.
    Here's my information:
    Browser:     Mozilla Firefox (20.0.1)
    Player:        Adobe Flash Player 11 (11.7.700.169)
    System:       Windows 7, Vista Home Edition with Service Pack 1
    Computer:  eMachine T525, AMD Athlon BE-2350 Processor, NVIDIA GeForce 3100, 320 GB hard drive
    I have read other people having this issue, and reviewed the information given. 1 Adobe reply to the same issue as mine to a different person was:

    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5   video
    Non-HTML5 video
    I did the test at the bottom of this person's reply to test if I was having an issue with the HTML5 or not.  Both the 'HTML5 video' and 'Non-HTML5 video' ran perfectly fine for me.
    Please help! I'm losing my mind with this program! I've been having to deal with this for months now, and am getting really annoyed, and frustrated, especially since my calm down and chilling time after work, kids, and family is my playing WoW, and I can't even do that!

    I think you are hitting a known bug in 11.7.700.169
    Either install an earlier version from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

    Ok, lets start. The first option you gave me. Didn't work. I went into safe mode like it said (RealPlayer is not on this computer). The problem still presisted. I then made a new profile, and still the same responces. Tried default one more, no avail.
    I then prceeded to the step for the mms.cfg file.  Unfortunately, I cannot access that file. It's not readable on the computer. (Such problems with every turn I take )
    So, I then proceeded to the second option of the hardware acceleration. Talk about falling flat on my face. It wouldn't even pull up my type of flash for me to even access the settings. It gave me the little sad face stating "Adobe Flash has crashed".
    I have provided screen shots of what I get when I get the Adobe crashes.
    This is the first popup window I get whenever I start to have issues with Flash.
    This is showing what I got for the type of flash. except, first time it showed, there was the sad "Flash Crashed" face image. Notice the notification in the right bottom on the screen. That pops up everytime Flash forces close.
    This is the sad "Flash crashed" face I am talking about. And yes, I submit reports everytime I get the chance to.
    I don't know if this would help. But this popup happens occasionally with the Flash popup.
    Just an FYI; that first Flask Popup even occured everytime I went to attach an image.  Hopefully this will help figure out what's going on. Please let me know if you need more info.

  • How can I use MapQuest API in Adobe Flash CC?

    Hi all,
    Since Google Maps API will be deprecated in 3 months I'm trying to use MapQuest instead. (MapQuest Developer Network: Map APIs, SDKs and Web Services - MapQuest Developer Network)
    But I can't import the component MQFlashMapsAPI_7.1.5_MQ_MOBILE.swc into my project.. Any idea why?
    I've read that I have to import the core.swc from the Flex SDK.. I've put the core.swc file in the components folder, but when I'm going into the components window in Adobe Flash, neither core.swc or MQFlashMapsAPI are visible.
    Do you what should I do in order to import MQFlashMapsAPI in my project ?
    I'm using Adobe Flash pro CC
    Thank you for your help,

    I would be really shocked if it requires ActionScript 2.0 but CC doesn't support that. Otherwise I honestly don't know why it would want a flex library in a place you can't utilize Flex.
    You say you've used this API before. Is this the same MapQuest SWC version you successfully used before or is it updated? What version of flash did you successfully use this in? Lastly did you get Flex from Adobe (4.6.0) or Apache?

  • Adobe Flash Broke my LabVIEW Help

    Recently, all of a sudden whenever I opened up LabVIEW Help (such as right-clicking on a function/VI and selecting Help), the Help window would appear, the left pane would be filled in, but the right pane would be blank. The inner part of the title bar would be white, and the Help would simply freeze. The only way to resolve it was to force-kill LabVIEW Help via Task Manager, which also quit LabVIEW (even though it wasn't frozen). I couldn't figure out what was happening until I decided to run FileMon and saw that at the very end of loading the Help window, the Adobe Flash folder was being accessed. OK, this sort of makes sense, since it's displaying an HTML file, but it also doesn't make sense since it wasn't displaying Flash content. But why would that freeze the Help window? Flash worked just fine in my browser. I did a complete uninstall of Flash, and my LabVIEW Help magically started working again.
    Anybody else seen this? FYI: I had Flash 10 installed. There had been an update to Flash a couple of weeks ago, I think, but I'm almost (99%) positive that I had used Help during that time without seeing this freeze. Haven't the courage yet to try installing it again. 

    Thanks for the feedback. I had to install Flash again since Pandora uses it (and I love Pandora). This time LabVIEW Help did not freeze up, and when I had FileMon running I saw that the LabVIEW executable was not accessing the Adobe folder (whereas before it was doing it right before the Help window froze up). Bizarre.
