Setting up adobe flash player settings. Setting up flash player for browser games

‎ FlashPlayer is a software module (plugin) that makes it possible for video files, animations and games to work correctly regardless of the browser used (for example, Firefox, Internet Explorer) and operating system (WindowsXP, Vista, Linux, MacOS). Thus, FlashPlayer represents a link between the interactive program and the operating system used, ensuring the normal operation of a particular program on all systems.

The latest version of FlashPlayer can be downloaded for free from its developer, Adobe, and installed on your computer.

Please refer to Adobe's instructions for installing FlashPlayer for each operating system.

After successfully installing FlashPlayer in your browser, all elements of Internet pages that require this plugin for transmission will be displayed correctly.

Optimal Flash Player setup

In order for Fragoria to work flawlessly, you need to configure FlashPlayer for this game.

First, log into the game.

Then right-click anywhere on the map, after which a context menu will open where you need to select "settings"(settings).

After this you will see a setup assistant with various symbols.

First left-click on the first character in the bottom line.

Make sure the “enable hardware acceleration” checkbox is checked.

Deleting data saved by FlashPlayer (clearing cache)

FlashPlayer stores data not only in the browser cache, but also on the hard drive. This data also needs to be erased occasionally to keep up with updates to the game.

3.1. Instructions for Windows XP

Open “Start” --> “Programs” --> “Accessories” --> “Explorer” --> select “Tools” --> “Folder Options” --> “View” tab -->

Open the folder

Attention!

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\

There, through the “macromedia.com”, “support” and “flashplayer” folders, go to the “sys” folder, where we similarly delete everything except the “settings” file!

3.2. Instructions for Windows Vista and Windows 7

First, the data hidden in Explorer needs to be made visible. It works like this:

Open “Start” --> “Programs” --> “Accessories” --> “Explorer” --> select “Tools” --> “Folder Options” --> “View” tab --> “ Show hidden files and folders”, at the end “OK”.

After this we proceed as follows:

Open the folder

Attention! Username is your Windows account.

The easiest way is to open “My Computer” and paste the specified file path into the address bar. Don't forget to replace the username with your Windows account!

After navigating to the specified file, select the “#SharedObjects” folder. In this folder there is another one with a strange name, for example, QWHAJ7FR or something like that. So, the contents of this folder must be deleted completely and irrevocably!

After that, go to another folder:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

There, through the “macromedia.com”, “support” and “flashplayer” folders, go to the “sys” folder, where we similarly delete everything except the “settings” file!

We reboot the system - and it’s done!

Dual Core and Quad Core processors

FlashPlayer typically runs on computers with DualCore and QuadCore processors using only one processor core.

Therefore, for FlashPlayer the number of processor cores does not matter. The only thing that matters is the power of a given core. However, the same kernel is used by other programs and the operating system itself. So don’t rush to underestimate the power of your computer!

4.1. Little tricks

The fact is that programs that cannot work in multi-core systems, or simply do not bother with this, are executed by default by the first core (Core 0 or Kernel 0). As a result, there may be a crush there while the rest of the cores are mostly idle. However, nothing prevents you from “transplanting” the process to a separate, unused core, thereby allocating more power to its execution. This is done this way: open the Task Manager (Task Manager in Russian Windows). To do this, right-click on the taskbar and select launch from the menu. Or you can press Ctrl-Alt-Del and run it from there. Next, find the one you need in the list of applications. In the case of Fragoria, this is the browser in which the game is running, or the client (fragoria.exe). Right-click on it and select Go to process. We go to the processes tab and the process you need will already be highlighted. Right-click on it and select Set Affinity. In the window that opens, uncheck all the boxes except the last kernel. Click OK and that’s it, your process has been transferred to the VIP room :)
(thanks to Fedun for the description of the “trick”)

For user in Flash Player it is possible to configure a number of important parameters, namely: enable/disable hardware acceleration, enable/disable or configure the operation of a flash drive with a camera and microphone, determine the size of the local data storage... In general, the set of settings available for editing by the user will depend on the , what version of flash player this user is using. In this case, it is important that the swf file currently running in Flash Player has dimensions of at least 215 on 138 pixels. Otherwise, the flash player simply will not be able to display the settings dialog box.

There are two ways to open the settings window in the flash player:

1.) Manually.

Everything is very simple here... Move the mouse cursor over the flash player screen and press RMB. The Flash Player context menu appears:

In the context menu, select the item Options... and go to settings.

The method is, of course, simple, but not the most convenient. If the needs of a flash application require changing settings (for example, allowing access to a microphone or camera), then you will have to write a whole instruction for the user that will explain what, how and why should be changed. The user is lazy and stupid. It is highly likely that he will not be able to open the settings dialog box. He may simply ignore your request :-(

2.) ActionScript code.

You cannot use ActionScript to change the previously mentioned Flash player settings, but you can call up a specific settings page and prompt the user to make the necessary changes on that page. Of course, calling the dialog box alone is not enough. It is necessary to write a short instruction that justifies the need for settings and lists the settings themselves. But still, this method of changing player parameters is much more convenient for the user.

So let's get started...

To display the monitor settings we use the code...

ActionScript 3.0 code:

Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.DISPLAY);

The above code displays the following settings dialog on the flash player screen:

You can follow the ActionScript instructions to allow or block a Flash application from accessing your microphone or webcam.

ActionScript 2.0 code:

System.showSettings(0);

ActionScript 3.0 code:

Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.PRIVACY);

Result:

To change the size of local storage, you can call the corresponding tab as follows.

ActionScript 2.0 code:

System.showSettings(1);

ActionScript 3.0 code:

Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.LOCAL_STORAGE);

Result:

You can access your microphone settings by using the following code.

ActionScript 2.0 code:

System.showSettings(2);

ActionScript 3.0 code:

Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.MICROPHONE);

As a result, the user will see something like this:

There is also a code to access the webcam settings.

ActionScript 2.0 code:

System.showSettings(3);

ActionScript 3.0 code:

Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.CAMERA);

Result:

By the way, on the same tab you can check the operation of the camera itself. If you click on the small screen, an image from your webcam will appear on it. If, of course, there is a camera and it is functional :-)

If you are faced with the task of opening a previously viewed tab of the flash player settings dialog box, then ActionScript will provide you with invaluable help here.

ActionScript 3.0 code:

Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.DEFAULT);

As a result of applying the above code, the settings tab that was last opened will be displayed on the screen.

Now for some clarity. Below we demonstrate how, using the buttons and the already mentioned commands, you can call up the necessary tabs of the Flash Player settings panel.

– nothing more than an additional module for playing game animation, audio and video created in .swf, .FLV, .F4V, .SWF, etc. formats. When multimedia with such extensions is posted on the Internet, browsers have no way to play them without third-party software, so instead of content we see a gray window asking to install or update the player. Even if it is already available, various errors occur periodically. Let's try to figure out how to avoid this.

Setting up Adobe Flash Player in different browsers.

A very common problem: every time you try to open a video or game, the message “Click here to launch Adobe Flash Player” appears. Whatever web server you use, by default it will not allow the plugin to run without permission from you, which is why Adobe Flash Player does not automatically launch immediately. We will describe below how to make this function available. If Flash Player used to work on its own, and then suddenly stopped starting, the reason is most likely that it’s time to update it or the web browser. If you want to view the content immediately, there is nothing left to do but launch the plugin manually and then go through the settings.

Setting Flash Player to launch automatically for Google Chrome

Before you enable Flash Player in Google Chrome, you need to download the module from the official website, click on it and wait until the installation is completed. Then do this:

1. Open Google Chrome, enter “chrome://plugins” (without quotes) in the search bar and press Enter.
2. Find Flash Player in the list and click “Enable”, and also agree to the “Always run” suggestion.

Now the plugin will work without your participation as soon as it recognizes Flash content in Google Chrome. Check if everything is functioning correctly. If not, then:

Setting Flash Player to launch automatically for Mozilla Firefox

Now let's figure out how to enable the installed Flash Player in Mozilla. Typically, this browser asks you to download Shockwave Flash. This is almost the same program and even belongs to the same company, but it has a number of advantages (however, for the average user this is hardly noticeable).

1. Open your browser and find a button in the top corner with three horizontal stripes - “Menu”.
2. Now click on “Add-ons” – “Shockwave Flash” – “Always Enable”.

Once you have enabled Flash Player in Mozilla Firefox, be prepared for the fact that after a while it may crash and a message about the collapse of elements will appear - this happens often with this web browser. In this case, you will have to update the plugin. Startup problems also occur when:

• viruses (scan your computer in deep scan mode using an antivirus or a special utility, block all threats, reboot the system);
• cache (in the “Windows” search we look for “%appdata%\Adobe” (without quotes), a folder of the same name will appear, and in it another one labeled “Flash Player” - delete everything that is there; repeat the same thing upon request "%appdata%\Macromedia");
• lost settings (“Control Panel” – “All elements” – “Flash Player” – “Advanced” – “Delete everything”).
• acceleration functions (open a video in the browser and right-click on it, click “Options”, uncheck the “Hardware acceleration” function);
• browser damage (uninstall Mozilla in the standard way, and then open the “C” drive and find the “Program Files” and “ProgramData” folders, and in them “Firefox” and clean them. Carry out the same procedure along the path C / Users / Your name in system/AppData/Local/Firefox and C/Users/Your name in system/AppData/Roaming/Firefox);
• disturbances in the operation of the system (it can either be restored, if you remember when the problems began, or replaced).

Configuring Flash Player to launch automatically for Opera

You can enable or disable Flash Player in Opera in the plugins section. To do this, type in the search the already familiar one: “chrome://plugins”.

1. Select the one you need, click “Enable”.
2. At the top left, click “Menu” – “Settings” – “Sites” – “Plugins” – “Run all content”.

Check if the content is playing. If not, then most likely Opera has turbo mode enabled. It speeds up loading if the connection is slow, but blocks Flash Player. Open the menu and uncheck the box next to it. If there is still no result, the reason may be:

• two installed versions of the plugin that interfere with each other (go to the “Plugins” section - “Show details” - disable NPAPI and leave PPAPI);
• “Hardware acceleration” (it is written above how to disable it);
• accumulated cache (deleted as described in the case of Mozilla).

Configuring automatic launch of Flash Player for Yandex Browser

Flash Player in Yandex Browser is enabled using the same method as in Google Chrome. Make a search query: “chrome://plugins” and you will be taken to a page with a list of plugins. Find the red player icon and click “Enable” and “Always run.”

Check the functionality of the module. The reasons why it may not start are the same as in the above-mentioned browsers and can be eliminated using the same methods.

ADVICE. Adobe Flash Player is quite problematic software - its components are susceptible to viruses and spyware, and there have been cases when attackers gained access to a webcam and personal data through it. Some browsers even temporarily blocked Flash Player, which confused users and created a lot of inconvenience, and Adobe developers had to urgently fix all the problems.

Recently, HTML5 technology has appeared, thanks to which it will be possible to avoid installing additional plugins and make do with standard web server capabilities when launching multimedia content. They promise to introduce the new product everywhere by 2020, and Adobe will close the Flash Player project.

Adobe Flash Player is a free program for displaying videos and animations on websites. It will help if you can’t play movies, clips and games.

Flash player is an essential program. Without it, sites with flash (.swf) files will not load correctly. And these files are responsible for videos, games and even music on the Internet.

How to download flash player for free

You can get the latest version of the program on the official website get.adobe.com. But often the download fails and the module cannot be installed. Then download Adobe Flash Player using direct links:

Adobe Flash Player for Chrome, Opera, Yandex, etc.
(size 20.1 MB)

Adobe Flash Player for Mozilla Firefox
(size 20.3 MB)

Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer
(size 19.8 MB)

These are three free versions of the plugin. Each of them is suitable for a specific type of browser. If you don’t understand which version you need, download everything - it won’t make you any worse.

How to install

1 . Close the browser.

The plugin is built directly into the Internet program. Therefore, before installation, you need to close the browser if it is open.

2. Run the installation file. It is usually located in your Downloads folder.

To do this, go to any folder on your computer and on the left side click on the “Downloads” item.

Inside we find the installation file and open it.

3. Check the box for “I have read and accepted the terms of the Flash Player License Agreement” and click the “Install” button.

4 . Click on “Finish”.

That's all: the program is installed and configured! She has already updated your browser. You don't need to do anything else. Just launch Google Chrome, Yandex, Opera, Mazila or whatever you use. Animations and videos should now display correctly.

Hello, friends!
Today's article will focus on the Adobe Flash Player plugin.

What is this tool intended for and what is it?
How to install, configure and properly remove Adobe Flash Player? Why is it so important to keep up with its regular updates?

Adobe Flash Player is a tool for displaying dynamic content and viewing multimedia material in a browser on Windows OS. With this plugin we can, for example, watch videos or play online games. Adobe Flash Player comes as a special module that needs to be integrated into the browser you are using. The exception is the Google Chrome browser (starting from version 10.2), where the flash player is already integrated by default.

As a rule, most users become familiar with a flash player at the moment when the browser stops or begins to display videos incorrectly, display games, or play audio (no sound).

When such problems arise, the user's next steps depend on the specific situation. For example, if the problem arose immediately after reinstalling the operating system, then just go to official site plugin, select the operating system and indicate the browser used (if required), download and install Adobe Flash Player on your computer.

Installing a flash player is not particularly difficult; just download the correct installer, which will do the work for you. After agreeing to the terms of the license agreement, click the "Install" button.

In the Flash Player settings window, be sure to check the “Allow Adobe to install updates” checkbox, otherwise, when a new version is released, you risk missing the latest updates.

Usually, if you have access to the Internet, the player is updated automatically, only sometimes the user’s consent is required. But sometimes, due to certain reasons, a failure occurs, and the player refuses to update on its own. Shortly after such a failure, the user may see the following message: “The Adobe Flash Player plugin is out of date and has been blocked.”

Updating Adobe Flash Player and solving problems

To avoid crashes and incorrect browser operation when playing multimedia content, Adobe Flash Player must be updated regularly. Almost every update contains fixes for various errors and brings new functionality. However, most often this is a fix for another vulnerability. The fact is that virus software is most often introduced into a web browser through this module. You should never ignore Adobe Flash Player updates.

You can check the player version on the developer's website at this link. The Version Information window will indicate the current version of your player. Compare it with the most current (that is, the latest) for your browser, depending on the platform - Windows, Macintosh or Linux.
