video is not playing in the latest version of shocwave

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:49:14 GMT

I have been getting calls from my users that tell me that videos will not show up since they updated their Shockwave.

I have tested it here and with an older version of Shockwave, everything is fine but when I updated, the video no longer displayed.

The audio does play but no video.
Does the same on all browsers.

Adobe, please fix this asap!!!!!!

What can I do to make IE detect my Shockwave?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 03:23:53 GMT

So, first of all, this is my first time posting here. Thank you all in advance for reading this. I've read through all the troubleshooting pages on Adobe's site but can't seem to work my way around this. I do have Adobe Shockwave (not Flash) installed on my computer since I primarily use it for http://www.isketch.net which is an online form of Pictionary, rather ancient site, but still fun to play around with. Anyways, I have version 12.1.3 installed since June 2014. All of a sudden, tonight, the site tells me I need to install the plugin. I go and see it is already enabled under "Manage Add-ons" in the Tools section of my IE11 browser.

Also, I was thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that might help, but the get.adobe shockwave page redirects me to something about 64-bit browsers even though I always use 32-bit and am using it right now. So what options do I have here? Thank you in advance!

Can't install Shockwave 12.1 on OS X 10.10

How do I fix Flash Crashing?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:57:33 GMT

Over the course of the last 3-4 months, my flash player has become very unreliable. I am running into constant crashes, and my browsers have become unresponsive regularly.

I have uninstalled both Firefox and Chrome, uninstalled all flash software then reinstalled it, and checked my plugins on the browsers to ensure that only one version of flash is running.

Any flash heavy web page on average crashes at least once when I open it, usually multiple times. I have included the different specs for my computer below.

Are there any suggestions to try to fix the problem? I'm having a very difficult time performing even basic web browsing right now.

Processor: AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon(tm) HD

Graphics 1.90 GH

OS: Windows 8.1

What the ..... how do I do this??? Flash Player

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 02:08:46 GMT

I am running on Windows 7 using Chrome. I am doing a course where I need to send information from my webcam to a website. I downloaded Flash Player and somewhere on the website it had a section where it had the address of the university. It also had another address not applicable so I deleted that and in doing so also deleted the address of the uni. I know diddly squat about both the webcam and Flash and am really running out of time to submit my assignments. Flash did unload on my computer, but to where, I have no idea. I have done searches but it nothing. So that took most of yesterday. Today, I researched it further and it was suggested that Flash was incorporated in Google and was enabled by fault and included in Chrome system updates. So I went into plug ins and find the Flash listing is enabled. There is also only one listing on the plug ins in spite of me downloading one yesterday and it is supposed to be on Chrome as well. .Bottom line ..... how do Flash and the webcam work together? How do I reinstall the university's web address on Flash, does it automatically attach itself to webcam and then do I get the option of who I share my webcam work with. Hope you can understand all this because I can't and I am getting a mighty nervous about getting these assignments out. Many thanks

Flash Player ActiveX Slows Down

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 15 Oct 2014 11:07:43 GMT

I'm using the Flash Player ActiveX within my windows application (not a browser and has no interaction with the internet). My application runs continuously on Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 as an operator interface to machinery. I use Flash Player to display animations of the machniery. When the machne is running, the respective file plays. When it stops, I stop the player. At first the files play properly. After a month or so, they slow down and in some cases can actually stall. System resources look fine whether the files are playing properly or not.

I first installed version 10 and have over time experienced the same proplems with all version up to 14. The only way I can find to get them working properly again is to restart my application. If I open the file in IE8 at the same time it is running poorly in my application, it runs fine in IE8. Any suggestion as to what may be causing this?

Shockwave in Opera 24

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 12 Oct 2014 06:46:33 GMT

Opera has Shockwave installed but on Adobe's Shockwave welcome page, It blinks on the screen for a second & then disappears.

On the Shock help page, when I clicked Test, the installing Shockwave box came up again, when I scrolled to the bottom where the picture was suppose to be I had to refresh the page before the movie showed.

I then visited a site that had a Shockwave movie & a flash movie, the Flash movie was playing, the Shockwave one said Shockwave plug-in is not installed?! This is after downloading & installing the Stand alone installer before I even got the blink on the shockwave welcome page in the first place. So I clicked on the Shockwave movie & it installed Shockwave AGAIN! At least it then played the Shockwave movie.

So every new site I go to that has Shockwave content either blinks then disappears or forces Opera to reinstall Shockwave again!

This is so wrong on so many ways. Any ideas?

Shockwave crashes in ALL browsers. Windows 7 starter, ie, firefox, chrome. Done it all:What's next?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 18:29:37 GMT

The problem first appeared in Firefox. I updated as directed, attempted to run the test, but kept getting crashes. Switched to ie, same thing. Switched to chrome, which seemed to work for awhile, then it too went down in flames. Per Chrome's support page, I alternately disabled the native chrome shockwave, which seemed to work for about three hours, then disabled the windows shockwave installation, the same. I have scanned for malware, viruses, spyware, old software installs that might conflict with chrome, Upgraded the users system ram (in case it was a resource issue), removed and reinstalled all browsers.

Short of blowing away everything and restoring to factory fresh, nothing works. There are entries on this issue ALL OVER THE WEB: Has it occurred to anyone at Adobe that so pervasive a problem might be on THEIR end? Since there seems to be no real alternative to your products for the average user. and none of the fixes work, perhaps the releases are corrupt?

(p.s.- I have a degree in computer sciences, Microsoft certifications up the wazoo, and have more than 20 years working experience in IT management : I am NOT an average user, and I would like some help.)

Hello,

I have had my laptop for a year or so and have not been able to use flash player yet.

It has been downloaded 867 times - well has to be close... It appears to be downloaded

in control panel, in programs, according to the test screens on adobe.com - I see the

clouds - it is enabled in toolbars etc - and yet every time I go to do something requiring

fp I get a message that I need flash player and the download links. I have also unchecked

the "enhanced protected mode" I really need a live chat with adobe so they can virtually

check out all my settings, but I have yet to be able to find out how to achieve

that. Suggestions and troubleshooting forums have not helped in this case as I have checked

it so many times.

How can I get to a love person??
