Watch the Video: How to manage Flash in Chrome

The Google Chrome web browser utilizes its own implementation of Adobe Flash Player. Chrome integrated Adobe Flash Player in June 2010 for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. Prior to that time, Flash Player was only available in Chrome’s beta releases and developer releases. The addition of Flash to Google Chrome eliminated the need for users to download, install and update it separately.

Google Chrome users do not have to download new versions of Flash Player. Google Chrome automatically updates its Flash Player plug-in when new versions of Flash Player are available. In this fashion, end users always have the latest Flash Player security updates as soon as they become available. To verify that your Google Chrome web browser is up-to-date, select About Google Chrome from under the Customize and control Google Chrome menu (the 3-lined icon near the Google Chrome web address bar).

Multiple Flash Player plug-ins

With Flash Player integrated into Google Chrome, users no longer have to install Flash Player separately. This creates a seamless experience for end users. The Google Chrome web browser updates its integrated Flash Player to automatically protect users with the latest security updates. If a user disables the integrated Flash Player in Google Chrome, Chrome will use the downloaded plug-in version of Flash Player (if the end user has it installed on their system). Otherwise, Google Chrome will automatically use its own integrated Flash Player if a user has multiple Flash Player plug-ins installed and enabled.

An end user can identify or differentiate Google Chrome’s integrated Flash Player plug-in from the system Flash Player plug-in if they have installed both. The integrated Flash Player in Google has a different file name than the system plug-in. When you enable or disable plug-ins, please be certain that you are doing so to the correct plug-in:

It did not work

rockstar sid u r rockin thanx a lot followed ya link….

Worked perfectly. I had to install flash 10 twice, but it worked.
I restarted the computer after installing flash 10 the first time. Once it had re-booted, I still couldn’t view flash (video). I installed it once more, and it worked. Use this website for flash 10: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

Thanks,

Thanks Man very Good 🙂

Adobe Flash Player For Windows 7

ATTN: KAPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS USERS

Disable the WEB SCANNING (or the whole application if web scanning does not fix the problem) to solve the problem of youtube reporting: “Sorry the video is no longer available”

Enjoy

This method was easy and did work like written. Remember to reboot or log off!

However I am not pleased with the result. I don’t know if its flash player 10, or their fix for chrome to recognize the installed copy,But when I use youtube the video wants to buffer completly before it plays, then while its playing, that grey circle activity animation that normally rotates in the center of the video remains there flashing. It looks like its reporting the activity from keyframe to keyframe or something. The progress only makes it to the second dot then starts over, making it “flash” This sux im going back to the old method.

Its a manual workaround where you download a file (flash9.xpi?), change its extension to .zip extract 2 particular files and put them in your google chrome plugin directory (which you have to create)
I haven’t watched that video, but I am familiar with the process. I also know the plugin directory is in a different location when installing with “Google Pack”

still misunderstanding

hey rockstar sid
this for you……
