Question

Macbook Pro Retina Display and Flash Player major issues

Hello,

Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.

I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:

1. My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.

On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:

(Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)

2. It is no longer possible to click on anything in Flash Player Dialogs, such as:

* Flash Player Settings

* Webcam or microphone allow/deny dialog

* All other dialogs (peer-to-peer access, etc)

This issue makes it impossible to use video chat applications on Macbook Pro Retina's because users can't click allow/deny when requested for audio/video access.


I have submitted reports about this to Adobe BugBase here:

https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3224151

https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3224147

Please fix these issues.

Andrey

    Please fix!! Our Apps look very crappy even if they knock out any HTML5 App. But potential clients like looks, not how solid it might be when they buy it! Guys this is very annoying. I understand that Flash is Adobe's ugly duck, but a lot of companies invested heavily on Flex framework... ¬¬

    I viewed this Adobe video and it seemed to work for this problem but it is NOT a great solution.

    I saw that they are posting a new version next week August 9th 2012.  I hope it works!

    Unfortunately, these problems won't be fixed in the upcoming release.  We are aware of them, and we have some preliminary approaches for fixing them, but due to the size of the changes they weren't able to be added to our next release which is wrapping up.  I'll make sure to bring this to our management's attention again and let them know how this is impacting you.  In the meantime, please take a minute and vote for the bugs above. 

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Chris, the dialog bug should have a hotfix ASAP. Crippling and show-stopper. Please!

    Bug 2 seems to be a repeat of the bug in Flash running under Mac OSX Lion that surfaced when Lion was first released. It was supposedly fixed back on Aug 10 2011, but it seems to have resurfaced on the Retina Pros.

    The work around ( described in detail at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tyHV_cz5gA&feature=player_embedded ) still works, but this really needs to be fixed.

    I've found the same issues.

    Fortunately- if you run windows in Parallels the flash settings box still works correctly there. The display issues are still present as with anything in Windows on the retina display.
