The standalone flashplayer takes no arguments other than a .swf file when you launch it from the command line. I need the player to go full screen, no window borders and such. This can be accomplished by hitting ctrl+f once the program has started. I want to do this programmatically as I need it to launch into full screen without any human interaction.

You can use a dedicated application which sends the keystroke to the window manager, which should then pass it to flash, if the window starts as being the active window on the screen. This is quite error prone, though, due to delays between starting flash and when the window will show up.

Another option is a Window manager, which is able to remember your settings and automatically apply them. Fluxbos for example provides this feature. You could set fluxbox to make the Window decor-less and stretch it over the whole screen, if flashplayer supports being resized. This is also not-so-nice, as it would probably affect all the flashplayer windows you open ever.

I've actually done this a long time ago, but it wasn't petty. What we did is use the Sawfish window manager and wrote a hook to recognize the flashplayer window, then strip all the decorations and snap it full screen.

I've done this using openbox using a similar mechanism to the one that bmdhacks mentions. The thing that I did note from this was that the standalone flash player performed considerably worse fullscreen than the same player in a maximised undecorated window. (that, annoyingly is not properly fullscreen because of the menubar). I was wondering about running it with a custom gtk theme to make the menu invisible. That's just a performance issue though. If fullscreen currently works ok, then it's unneccisarily complicated. I was running on an OLPC XO, performance is more of an issue there.

Ultimately I had the luxury of making the flash that was running so I could simply place code into the flash itself. By a similar token, Since you can embed flash within flash, it should be possible to make a little stub swf that goes fullscreen automatically and contains the target sfw.

Now Adobe updater determines whether an in place download and update is possible and if so does it without sending you to the website. But there may be reasons (best known to Adobe) when an in place download is not possible and it redirects you to the website. A good reason I can think of is when the Adobe updater itself needs to be updated before updating the flash player component.

For hardware-accelerated scaling to work, you need Microsoft DirectX 9 with VRAM 128MB for Windows and OpenGL for Apple Macintosh, Mac OS X v10.2 or higher. There might be compatibility issues with older hardware and drivers. (See Flash Player system requirements.) With older versions of Flash Player, you should not see dramatic changes as the player reverts from hardware-accelerated scaling back to software scaling.

After looking into the issue it appears that the web browser widget does not currently support flash. I have written up a request and I have submitted it to the developers for further consideration. I have also provided a link to the public tracker. Please feel free to use the link provided for future updates.

HI Experts.
As it seems that we are still going to use ISE 2.2 for a while now. And the plan for an upgrade will take some time in future. But the browsers are not waiting for us and have already dropped the support for Adobe flash player.

In such a scenario, there are some functions of the ISE GUI that are really needed are not available (TCP dump and Back/restore).
Or CLI commands to give me an idea that I can still do away with the GUI for these two functions.

Is there any workaround for these?

-Not that I am aware of. I believe your only option is upgrade to ISE 2.4 or later since that is when flash dependencies for ISE were removed. Your other option is to stay where you are at, but without certain functions. Id strongly suggest upgrading ISE as 2.2 end of support is June 8th 2022. See the following for more details:

We occassionally find older devices that require flash to access. We have kept an old 2003R2 server 'alive' just for this. You may have to build and lockdown a VM with an older OS that will not block flash for this and possible future devices.

I have a laptop that has an older build of Win10 that has all update services disabled and a static IP without a default gateway that I use for any "flash" needs. I also set the date back to 2019 when using it to manage any flash stuff (for me it is an old Iomega NAS that is EOL and not supported any longer but still works).

So my laptop has updates disabled, internet access is blocked, date is set to March 2020 on laptop. My Windows 10 version is listed as 20H2, 19042.985 and I'm able to view my VMware 5.5 flash based interface on an old VM system we have yet to dismantle. This system does not have any "installed apps" that list Flash.

It is not just Flash or the lack of tablet specific apps that stayed my wallet. It was the promise of functionality to come with an ambiguous timeframe. Yes, technology moves fast but really not as fast as most people perceive. The gadget market moves fast because there are a lot of players and stiff competition. But the base technologies take a while to develop. Like QNX for the BlackBerry PlayBook or making sure that Honeycomb functions at all, these have been projects in the making for years and they are still not done. The iPad did not just arrive out of thin air. Apple has been developing the OS, hardware and ecosystem since the iPod debuted. That is 10 years of tinkering that everybody else is trying to cram into three.

Update: Adobe has published a new version of the Flash player (16.0.0.296) that addresses CVE-2015-0311). At the moment only users of the automated Adobe Update service are getting the update. You can go into your control panel and perform a manual update to see the version and trigger a manual update if necessary:
