Question

Adobe Flash Player 3.4 and https

Is it possible to have an application built with Adobe Flash Player 3.4 to also work with HTTPS and not just HTTP?

I have no experience with this technology and am new in a project that was done with this technology. We do not have the resources, time or money to upgrade to a new version.

Is it possible without a big effort to allow the application to work over HTTPS and not HTTP?

Cheers,

Ana

I'm stuck on the Flash Player 3.4 thing.  Is this a C++ application that embeds an ancient ActiveX control or something?  Are you maybe conflating Flash Player and Adobe AIR, or maybe another product in the Flash ecosystem?

Flash Player 3 was released in 1998.  At that point, it was a vector animation player that didn't support scripting.  It was built for Windows XP.

Hi,

Why are you using such an older version of Adobe Flash Player? We do not recommend installing older versions of Adobe Flash Player.

Thanks!

why not to isolate let's say 1% of your computer park and install a flash update deployment to the version that accept https and see if it works? you can request a distribution license to Adobe here

do you manage computers on the same private network?

Yes we do.

We already tried to implement it using the corresponding domain definition and SSL Certificates. In the infrastructure we have control but when we try to use our application we get an error because internally in the Flash Player is always using a http link that we do not seem to be able to "skip" or convert into https.
