Flash 9 player in OSX Leopard

Report · Oct 26, 2007

Is there a release (beta or labs) that fixes the bug in Flash player 9 on OSX Leopard to allow file uploads?

Report · Oct 26, 2007

Adobe and Apple have been collaborating closely to ensure that our applications run well on Mac OS X Leopard. So far that testing hasn't indicated any specific Flash Player Leopard problems.

If you're a developer and you're seeing this on Leopard -please- create a case so we can track it: http://www.adobe.com/support/flash. Send back the case number when you have it and we'll proceed from there.

If you're seeing this on an application that worked fine on Tiger, make a case double-quick :)

Hi there, I'm a developer and have reported the case accordingly -- the case number is 200484021. Please fix this ASAP.

Thank-you for your continued hard work.

After updating to Leopard I found out that uploading with Flash using SWFupload does not work anymore on our community website.

I've gotten a few more reports of this today. After doing some digging it appears that this is going to be addressed in the final release of the Flash Player 9 update (currently in beta on labs.adobe.com).

I have to do some further clarification just to be sure. And I think that it is -not- addressed by the currently available beta on labs (which is FP 9.0.r64...)

Same problem here with uploading and Leopard. I hope this gets fixed soon!

This is a huge issue for anyone using flash for uploading. We have spent a year developing an application that now will not be able to upload using flash. Help a brother out here adobe and apple!

Wow, this is very cryptic. What should I tell our hundreds of thousands of users?

This doesn't just affect us -- recently in Japan, Sony just released their RecYou Campaign http://recyou.jp/ which heavily relies on flash uploading...

Other US-Based sites are affected too, such as Vimeo, which has 100s of thousands using it, as well. This is a very big issue.

What should I tell my users?

I would also like to confirm that that this is has not been resolved in the latest downloadable release candidate at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/ , version 9,0,64,0.

Please advise,

How does something this simple get missed in testing? This is so incredibly far from obscure. Was the QA process skipped or is that not as important as it used to be? If I sound angry, it's because I have a huge video-sharing network that is screwed right now because of this. I sure hope a fix is coming soon 'cause Leopard has just started to penetrate the market, when it gets steam - wow are the complaints gonna be huge.

Hi,
when can we expect an updated beta release of the flash player (with this fix included?).

All,

This morning we updated the MAC version of the Flash Player 9 Update beta on http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/, specifically to address this issue.

Leopard users who would like to avoid this issue should update to 9.0.98.0.

The link in the last post has a comma included at the end which makes it invalid.

I have still been having the same problem. I use Myspace for my band, and I continue to get the prompt that I do not have the current Flash installed and gives me the option to go to the page. I have uninstalled and then installed the brand new updated version and when it finishes the installation it opens Safari and sends me to the 'adobe about' page and again I get :

>>>The page “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer Do you want to open the page?<<<

Very Frustrated.

Your problem is completely different than what we're talking about in this thread.

Your problem is discussed in the thread '[ADOBE] Resolving Mac Flash Player install problems 9/2007'. Check that out and you should be able to resolve it via permission repair.
