Hello all! My adobe flash plugin keeps failing! And the crash error report never sends. Your tutorial didn't work ethier. Can someone please help fix this problem. I am running on Windows 7 and am unable update anything (I do not have admin privileges). Thanks - brandon
HI brandon, Reinstalling flash is the default troubleshooting step, however since you do not have admin access to the computer it is possible to disable and renable flash from the about:plugins page.
The other step you can take is to right click on the player and select the Settings. Disable hardware acceleration and restart flash. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
Hello guig, Thanks for the reply, the keeps going on and off, how do I disable and re enable the flash player? looked at the articles you gave me but could find what I was looking for. If you could show how disable then re enable? Do I have to wait for the problem to return!
The problem you may be facing is as follows: after upgrading to Flash Player 11.3 or higher, you may be seeingchoppy playback in Flash movies on some websites, under some situations. For example, Youtube movies might beall smooth and dandy when viewed on the organic website, however embedded instances might not.
I was faced with this same issue recently, on Windows. The problem would occur with Firefox while watchingembedded Flash videos, however Chrome was not affected, most likely because it comes with its own version.While playing embedded clips, the video would turn slow and jerky on any mouse motion. Moreover, dragging themouse cursor through the embedded player space would cause it to stall and jump about. So how do you go aboutresolving something like this?
Now, before we begin, let's reset the disappointment meter. It is impossible to fix all and every Flash-relatedproblem in a single article. It is also entirely likely that you will stumble upon this tutorial through a Websearch, believing it may help you get your Flash performance to its smooth normal. Your woes may be completelydifferent and completely unrelated, so please be aware of the chance, however slight, remote or real, that thistutorial might not help you, at all.
If you're seeing a choppy playback in embedded videos but not organic ones, this probably means there'ssomething in the Flash Player that restricts the playback of embedded content, probably because it points tothird-party sites. So a word comes to mind, security.
After seeing the phenomenon affect my box, I realized there might be a new feature in Flash Player 11.3, whichmay not have been existed or may not have been activated before, which is causing the performance problems.
Reading through the rather rich Adobe knowledge base, I learned that Flash player 11.3 comes with its ownself-sandboxing mechanism, known as the Protected Mode, designed to limit the impact of attack launched frommalicious SWF files. The addition of this feature is probably necessary due to the vast amount of exploitstargeting the Flash Player, but we will get there.
Anyhow, reading from an article labeled How do Itroubleshoot Flash Player's Protected Mode in Firefox, I discovered that the Protected Mode can be disabled,even if it's for the sake of temporary troubleshooting. Now, a word of advice and warning sort of, before weproceed: Do not attempt this if you're worried about your securityand if you think the world might crash on your shoulders. The reality is a little less grim, but more soon.
The file cannot be edited inline due to write permission restrictions, even if you launch the WindowsExplorer with administrative privileges, so you will need to copy a file somewhere else, open it, and then addor edit the following directive:
After this is done, copy the file back to its original location. Please make sure that the configurationfile is safely backed up before making any changes, especially if you're less savvy about this kind oftweaking.
Now before you all naysayers accuse me of offering an easy way to clueless users to compromise theiroperating system security, let's recap what we have done here and introduce a superior alternative.
First, if a security measure causes a negative impact to the user, be it the loss of performance,responsiveness, smoothness, stability, features, or anything else, then the security measure is useless. Thesecurity must complement normal usage patters and not replace them. The security must be seamless andtransparent.
To that end, the Protected Mode might be welcome, but if the user is tempted to disable it, so they canwatch videos, what the Flash Player has been designed for in the first place, then there's no meaning to theprotection. And let's put hype and politics aside.
Instead, you can use something like EMET, a zero-impact technologyfrom Microsoft, to harden all your externally facing programs, including browsers and the Flash Player and gainthe same, if not better security level, without any compromise on quality.
This article may be focused on trying to resolve one of many possible reasons for slow and choppy playback ofvideos, embedded or not, in Flash Player, most likely version 11.3, used in Firefox. But it ends with a muchmore important message, if you care to read.
Hopefully, you are now a little more familiar with the Flash Player settings and internals, you know your wayaround, including the useful forum discussions and FAQ, you are more versed in searching and defining yourproblems and finding the correct solutions, and most importantly, you understand that decent security can beachieved without any loss of functionality. And that's the whole point, regardless of what software you use.
Ok so this is intended to build and stream your first own scaleform.
I started diggin 1 week ago into this amazing world and after an initial sense of loss, i started understanding how R* handles it.
Inside your folder, create four distinct folders one inside the other, so you can get the following directory YourFolder\com\rockstargames\gtav\levelDesign\ inside this folder is where we are going to put our ActionScript files.
Make sure that the flash player is version 8 and Action Script is ActionScript2, then we change our project dimensions, the fps can go from 24 to 29 to 30 in some scaleforms, up to you, the size must be 1280 x 720.
Almost all scaleforms uses 1280 x 720 screensize to work with even the 3D ones, some use smaller sizes but for now this will be good for us.
Now the fun part, go up in the project folders navigate into com\rockstargames\gtav\levelDesign folder and in here click on New File icon
Set File Type as Action Script and call it BaseScriptUI.as ==> Create it and copy this code into it
I know this might sound an unreasonable request but could you please consider at some point creating the project from this tutorial and adding it as a download so that people learning have a known working project to work from?

These tutorials offer fundamental principles to help members understand speech contests.*System Requirements: Adobe Flash player version 10.0 or later. **These tutorials may not be fully accessible by older versions of Internet Explorer browsers.
Since you have stated that this is the first time you have ever used ubuntu. i would suggest that you install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras, this includes lots of useful stuff like adobe flash and codecs and MS fonts etc.
Open your Firefox and go to Youtube. Click on any video. Definitely it won't play because you don't have any flash player installed. But Firefox will promote you to install missing plug-in at the top. Simply click on it and follow the procedure. After that your video will start to play. Make sure you have latest Firefox browser installed.
Get my Flash-Aid extension for Firefox. It will take care of downloading and installing the appropriate version for your system architecture and will also remove conflicting plugins. If you are on 64bit, it also allows to install the 64bit preview version, which renders better results than the 32bit with nspluginwrapper.
Use the Ubuntu Software Center (in the Applications menu). In the text entry field (of the search box), you can search for "flash", and the results will populate one Adobe Flash plugin (note the Adobe logo). Choose that, and follow the directions to use the source.
Double check which "plugin" directory is being used. Had to spend a good hour one time just plowing through all the plugin directories till I found which ones my firefox was actually reading, and then ln -sed them all to point to a common one.
Also start firefox from the command line, you might see errors. Example is running a x86 flash player in an x64 browser(not os) and vice versa. From the command line (%> firefox) you should see the plugin initialization log lines. (maybe try this one first :P)
Note: most of this can be done in a terminal as well, in that case you don't need to install Synaptic. Furthermore, it could be that just executing steps 5, 6 and 8 is enough, but I have not tested this yet.
Now you will have full 64 bit Flash without any wrappers and other garbage in both Firefox and Chromium. A restart of your browser(s) is required though. If it's still not working, try a reboot (there might be some bogus reference to the old plugins somewhere).
The way you enable other stuff (like Flash, Java, and support for recording or playing MP3s, which is NOT open source) is to go in your Software Center, go in the menus (unfortunately I'm not currently on Ubuntu and can't tell you which menu) and search for Software Sources.
