What Flash player and Shockwave plugin different?

Do I need to install the plugin for Shockwave? I can play games online and some are asking for Shockwave?

Flash Player and Shockwave Player are two different entities.  The confusion often starts because the Flash Player plugin is called Shockwave Flash internally.

  • A question of both parties about Flash player and Firefox plugin.

    Things have gotten worse. I'm unable to reset Firefox because at the time when I go to tools > (etc.) reset Firefox, it crashes.

    None of the Flash help I received from Adobe and Mozilla is useful.

    Finally, I uninstalled Firefox completely and on a whim, thought I'd install Seamonkey. She runs... But will not play ANY Flash. The plug in case of accident, as soon as I try to access any Flash website.

    I use Chrome without difficulty. I can use IE without difficulty. So, guess what? Firefox is out until someone can fix the problem. I am convinced that Firefox can't handle any software if Macromedia, Adobe, Shockwave Flash or any other part of it. This is totally unacceptable.

    The way I see it, I need to go back to an older version of Firefox AND Flash player. Once I can do I think they work together because none of this happened until the most recent version has been installed.

    Where can I find all the old versions of Firefox? And I will have difficulties in their installation.

    Like I said before, I'm a long-time Firefox fan. It comes, he tries my patience just to make it work again when you people do an upgrade. The problem involves ALWAYS Flash form any.

    With great anxt and sadness,

  • If I run Firefox and IE 11 what Flash Player download or I can download both?

    If I run Firefox and IE 11 what Flash Player download or I can download both?

    Hello

    Firefox and IE use different Flash Player plugins, but you can install it in your system.

    Just go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer of the Internet Explorer browser and install Flash Player-> it will install the ActiveX of Flash Player plugin which is used by IE

    And if you go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to the Firefox browser and install Flash Player-> it will install NPAPI plugin of Flash Player, which is used by Firefox.

    Hope it solves your query.

    Hi Janny1,

    JavaScript should not have to turn off. Try to completely uninstall Flash Player and then reinstalling the most recent version. For instructions on how to "completely" uninstall a Flash Player, read this Adobe Help article. If you have not installed Flash Player, or you have just uninstalled the Flash Player, download and install the latest Adobe Flash Player, available in the Adobe Flash Player Download Center.

    For Windows Vista users: If the uninstallation and reinstallation of flash does not work this maybe due to a Microsoft Windows Vista permissions issue. Please use the Windows button below on the left then the search function:

    o go to: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\

    o right click on the following file: FlashUtil9b.exe or FlashUtil9e.exe

    o select "Run as Administrator" and install the update.

    o your computer.

  • Adobe Flash Player and the Plug in question.

    My computer has 12 ActiveX Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Flash Player Plugin from 15. Why have I not these two. They are different, and what do I need to update? I have a computer with Windows 7 64 bit. I couldn't ever find this page again then can you send me an email to advise if someone answered my question if you please, with a link to the answer. My email is [email protected].  Thank you very much for your help.

    The Flash Player ActiveX is the add-on for Internet Explorer.

    The Flash Player Plugin is for other browsers like Firefox.

    For some reason any Adobe back as two different installers, so you will need to run two installation programs for updating Flash Player for later.  You can download the 15.0.0.223 from

  • Flash Player and Vimeo, Youtube does not but don't?

    Hi guys,.

    We currently deploy Windows 7 out to all employees and student PCs, we had it on PC our service for the past year and have had no problems with Flash Player and Youtube.

    However, a guardian has reported that when they go to YouTube and select a video, it buffers, play a second or two and headed then towards "an error has occurred, please try again later."

    If we disable Shockwave Flash Object it redirects to the HTML5 Web site and which works very well.

    Software:

    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

    CPU: Various (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel i5, Intel Xeon E5

    RAM: 2-4 GB DDR2, 4 GB DDR3,

    Browser: IE10, Mozilla Firefox v19 and v24

    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX: v11.8.800.175

    Adobe Flash Player plugin: v11.8.800.168

    Diagnosis:

    • Tried completely uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, restart the PC, install Adobe Flash Player
    • Tried Adobe Flash Player version beta
    • Tried to disable hardware acceleration
    • Uninstalled IE10, tried on IE8, same problem
    • Tried to delete all the computer and user policies
    • Checked if it was a question VLAN, but happens on 10.32.x.x (student) and 10.64.x.x (staff)
    • Tried same question on IE9
    • Scroll along the search bar at the bottom shows all the stills is fine.
    • Enable ActiveX filtering solves the problem, but it's just because he goes to HTML5 too.

    Any help is appreciated

    We have just recently at the bottom of a problem even incompatible by which we got the message "an error has occurred, Please Try Again Later". It was only a problem in Internet Explorer, and it turned to be that you should now have speakers/headphones plugged and recognized by Windows 7 to play a Youtube video. Given what you have said, is perhaps the cause of your problem?

  • Troubleshooting Adobe Flash Player and Acrobat PDF Portfolios

    Urgent question. We have a large number of master files into a PDF from Adobe portfolio, created in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.

    (1) given that Adobe installs the Flash Player for a separate stand-alone application, the content of existing PDF portfolios is not visible nor accessible.

    (2) I created a new PDF portfolio to solve the problem. The files are not visible after adding files to the portfolio. Adding a second time the same file triggers a message that the file already exists, but the file is not visible in the page layouts.

    I get a message that I need to have Adobe Flash Player as a separate application, when I open existing PDF Portfolios and it provides a link to the download page. But my computer already has Flash Player 11 is installed as a separate application.

    How can I get Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat 9 to play together to restore the original function?

    No, you will have to do exactly what the prompt and install Flash Player - it's a facility different plugin Web browser, so you must install it even if you think you already have Flash player on your computer.

  • Why does Vista work with adobe flash player and RoboForm?

    Why does Vista work with adobe flash player and RoboForm?

    original title: Vista 64-bit

    He does.  Even if you ask the wrong way.  It is not Windows Vista which would "work with" other applications, it's other applications that "work with" (or not) Windows Vista.  After all - Windows has no need or the other of these two applications to run, but these two applications need to Windows (or some other applicable/compatible OS) service.

    Not only it works with both - but Adobe is finally released with a version 64-bit Flash Player - so you can use it with the version 32-bit and 64-bit Internet Explorer.

    RoboForm: http://www.roboform.com/support/manual/roboform; "Requirements. RoboForm works under Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, 7, server systems. Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later is required. All Service Packs and security patches must be installed. "
