I'm having problems with my daughter's laptop (Dell Inspiron)and the Adobe flash player. She is running firefox. (I am too on our home computer, and have no problems with Adobe, only on her laptop) Whenever she plays games, the flash window is too small, and she cannot enlarge it to do all the actions needed in the games. (I've downloaded the latest version). In some games, right-clicking allows me to expand the window, but as soon as she clicks something on the game and it goes to another part of it, the window returns to the smaller view. And some games right clicking just gives me the settings and about options. I've tried changing the resoloution on her computer, although I knew this probably wouldn't help, and it did not affect the player at all. Any help is appreciated.
I have a similar problem that wasn't solved by the previous solutions. On certain sites, like mlb.com, the flash player is used to look at scores, videos, etc.. but when I use Ctrl++ to increase the screen size the areas that use FP remain the same size - thus creating a gap because everything around the FP window grows but it does not. How can I increase the size of the FP window as well? thanks!
I am having the same problem. It happens when I'm streaming flash videos. The flash video is too small for the frame or not centered correctly. Changing the zoom of the webpage does not fix the issue. I've tried reinstalling flash but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.
I don't know if this is exactly the same problem, but my cafe world game window refuses to show the whole game. The controls on the left side and bottom are covered by advertisements, no matter what resolution I use. Ctrl+ and Ctrl- do nothing useful, full screen vs. reduced doesn't effect this. Ctrl O merely sent me to another entirely different page on the web. I enclose a piccy of my problem, and would love it if someone could come with a solution. Thanks for any help provided.
Thank you for the Ctrl ++ and Ctrl -- It finally worked. For anyone who is still having trouble: It would not work when I had the cursor clicked on the Farmville window, I had to go outside the window and click on the white surrounding area, then hit Ctrl+ three times before my window was large enough to see the gift box and all the other perimeter items that were off the edge before. I don't know how it got so small to start with, it wasn't always that way, but for the last 3 months I haven't been able to use my desktop (the one with the problem) - could only use the laptop. I tried this on the laptop and it works there too! Thanks again! You made my day!
Until the recent Mac iOS upgrade, I was running an Adobe Flash Player video in my iPad's Safari Browser. Since the upgrade, the video does not display and no error messages are displayed. Can anyone tell me why this has happened, and what, if anything, I can do about it?
Thanks for your response Maria. Yes, I have always been aware that Flash has never been supported by IOS. What we were running was an eLearning module created using Articulate Storyline and saved in SCORM format. It was then upladed to a SharePoint website using SCORM Player 365 to run it. SCORM uses Flash to display the module. It ran fine on Safari (and Chrome) on both an iPad and iPhone. After upgrading the IOS, it stopped working. Both the Safari and Chrome were basic installs with no plugins.I think the question is here is not "why is it now not working?" But rather "How did it run in the first place?!!?" Thanks again Maria.
"How did it run in the first place" is a good question, since Flash Player has never been supported on iOS (the OS used by both iPad and iPhone). I would start by contacting the content developer and the makers of SCORM Player 365. It seems they may have done something for this to work on iOS.
Yeah, it sounds like iOS broke the tool that you were using to play Flash content on iOS. AFAIK, we have no engineering relationship with that third-party vendor, so I have no idea how they were getting it to work, nor do we support the use-case.
Apple changes APIs and underlying OS architecture pretty aggressively, so the technique they were using is probably no longer viable. You'll either need to wait for the vendor to update, or find a different mechanism for delivering your eLearning content. I'm pretty sure that there are numerous options for true cross-platform courseware delivery available commercially, including products from Adobe.
I use Safari to access my employers network. Since the the update tp iPad IOS when I log onto the network i get an error stating that my version of Safari is out of date. When I fly Delta Airlines, I like to watch movies on my iPad. After the last iPad IOS was installed I can no longer watch movies on my iPad. The delta app tell me that have to enable Adobe Flash in the preference settings of Safari. It thinks I am running from a Mac.
Flash Player has never been supported on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad). The only way I'm aware of viewing Flash content on these devices is to use a browser, such as Puffin, that renders Flash in the cloud.
If this is the iPad mentioned previously, not sure how you were able to view Flash content. If this is a different machine (e.g. Mac Book running macOS, not iOS), then see -player.html for links to enable Flash in the browser you are using.
iPadOS will load the "desktop" version of a website by default. If the server thinks you're on a "desktop" computer rather than a mobile device, it will want you to use Flash. Older versions of iOS running on iPads loaded the "mobile" versions of websites by default and so used non-flash video players.
All you should need to do to get your Delta videos to play is to force iPadOS's Safari to load the "mobile" version of the website instead of the "desktop" version. The easy way to do this so you won't have this problem with any site in the future is to change the default loading preference:
If you don't want to change the default, you can make the decision on a per-site basis, either just for the current session or whenever you load that site, by tapping on the icon to the far left of the address bar.
I have just updated adobe flash player since my browser requested it and found that adobe has installed McAfee without me opting in to do so. I am furious about it, and can only refer to a previous discussion point copied in here. Why does Adobe do this it will drive customers away in their droves.
That said, every time I look at this, it consistently comes down to a situation where a third-party browser plug-in (ad-blocker, anti-tracking plugin, etc.) caused the JavaScript on the page to execute in a way that was different than what was actually written (e.g. they blocked the UI with the opt-out), or the software was downloaded through a third-party UI (a bro
That is not an answer, you are merely explaining what you do. The point is what you are doing is morally indefensible and goes against every form of good customer engagement and trust. It is totally wrong. Change it, or lose customers and customer confidence.
That said, every time I look at this, it consistently comes down to a situation where a third-party browser plug-in (ad-blocker, anti-tracking plugin, etc.) caused the JavaScript on the page to execute in a way that was different than what was actually written (e.g. they blocked the UI with the opt-out), or the software was downloaded through a third-party UI (a browser add-on manager, etc.), which linked directly to the assets that had the optional bundled offers.
Adobe uses a global Content Distribution Network (CDN) to deliver content. Knowing the geography and language in play might help me track down any highly localized problems with a specific CDN node or translated page.
No. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. You are missing the point. what is wrong is installing software without my permission, opt out or not. If I order an iPad on Amazon they don't also charge me for a book on whales and a designer t-shirt because I didn't opt out. Opt-out installation is simply a way of tricking people into installing software that they do not want. If you were truly serious about being transparent you would have an OPT-IN download system.
If you say it is so easy to read and de-select the buttons to "Opt Out" then it should be just as easy to select to Opt-IN. And if there are potential browser issues or ad-blockers that prevent people from seeing the options then you should err on the side of caution and again use the Opt-IN approach. It's a win-win for you and consumers. The fact that you aren't doing this (and Adobe has very smart people and lawyers so they have thought of this) means Adobe would rather use back handed trickery than doing the honest thing.
Go to the Control Panel and uninstall it. That is what I had to do. It is frustrating that a person says they don't want something and Adobe installs it anyway. Adobe causes a lot of problems and controls too much--like Google.
Many websites even have pop up notifications that specify the site will not function properly or to please disable ad blocker.
You're telling me that the team couldn't find a way to at least place a warning to turn of ad blocker? Or make an opt out option that isn't dependent on whether an ad blocker is on or not?
I only use flash because I have to. I stopped my subscription to the adobe suite because of poor quality updates, tons of bugs, and lack of affordable choice options. This makes me much less likely to ever return.
@ridhijain: This is unnecessary and unacceptable. I bet you are going to loose a bunch loyal users' trust just as you made them loose some precious time scrubbing the 3rd party software you sneaked in their machine. Please make that an opt in for a few weeks and realize that no one is interested by it. At the very least clearly notify the user IN THE INSTALLER of what you are installing and where.
Also after reading the backlog I am kind of surprised that every answer from your staff is totally wide of the mark. No one is asking you questions about js, ad blockers or software distribution channels and the only concern is that you (let's be honest, not you but probably some idiot with too much time to spend in meetings and a not very large intellect) are using mild deception techniques to opt in people into downloading and installing some software they do not desire. This is just bad.
