Why latest flash player 11 version is not available for download?

Flash player about page (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) is showing the latest flash player as 11.3.300.255 for windows where as flash player download page is showing 11.2.202.235 fow download.

I have tried the following pages for download but they too have older version 11.2.202.235 for download:

Please help thanks.

Correct answer chris.campbell

The download page is back to 11.2.202.235. Problems with the 11.3.... I guess.


The 11.3 announcement was a bit premature.  I'm sorry it took us a couple of days to resolve this, I apologize for the confusion.

Thanks,

Chris

Yeah, for example Major League Baseball's MLB.TV streamed games uses Adobe Flash and has a big ongoing problem with a visual quality issue that is now commonly referred to as "Spinning Circles". Quite frankly, Adobe Flash is implicated as a root cause along with another piece of software know as NexDef. I think MLB.TV Support Forum got wind of the version 11.3.300.255 and have posted the following:

   Please update your Flash player to the latest version 11.3.300.255). You can get it here: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/subscriptions/download.jsp

   Also, make sure that Nexdef is enabled (it needs to be enabled to fix the quality slider issue).

   When clicking on the Quality button, you should see the box that says "detect and recommend best quality for me".

   Make sure that box is unchecked.

   If it seems to stall out and then goes back to the highest quality (and most likely the checkbox will disappear), it means that Nexdef has crashed.

   Restart the Nexdef process using these instructions: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/help/faq_technical.jsp#q44

BTW, I just told them to check this forum message (4413843) and decide accordingly. MLB.TV Support Forum Mods and Admin were probably hoping that yet another current update patch to Adobe Flash will majically FIX the spinning circles problem which has been extant since 6 April 2012 and has repeatedly continued to impact a number of MLB.TV paid subscribers' viewing experiences so far, all season long.

I for one have asked Adobe to get together with their customer: MLB.COM/MLB/TV/MLB Advanced Media. I think Adobe may just be able to provide them a programming fix once Adobe sees how Adobe flash and NexDef interact so badly.

In keeping with above mess , if you and others throughout this forum, would like to see how other forums work I'd highly recommend going to the MLB.TV support forum:

http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=ml-help01

and searchstringing/stringsearching : spinning circles

Interesting reading ... and ... if you're good, maybe you can notion a fix for them ... no prizes though.

That still leads to the Adobe site to install 11.2.202.235. And I've noticed that 11.2.202.235 has replaced 11.3.300.255 on the Flash page as the 'latest' version. Maybe it got out for a couple of hours and then Adobe pulled it (for whatever reason).

It's like the hostage crisis in Iran... we'll just have to wait. What if it takes forever? Then that's how long we'll wait.

This may have been a temporary "glitch"; currently http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ shows 11.2.202.235 as the latest Flash Player version.

10.7.4, Firefox 12, Safari 5.1.7 (seldom used). Others in the Apple Support Forums have reported that they had updates yesterday. So far, nothing here. It's not so much that I want to keep current (although there is that) but rather I'm hoping that this version may fix some of the problems that I've had with Adobe plugins as well.

I don't think it's out yet.I check my flash in the link you had and then tired this link.

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html. This link says it's current. I googled the new version and everyone is having the same problem that you are. I even used google chrome to translate pages and it's all over the web. I think they showed the new version that is comming, but it's not available yet. Go to google and put that version and you will see. I ran into a problem like this where  I downloaded a new version of flash however one link said that i still had the old version and one link said that I had the current version. Don't drive yourself crazy Good luck.I'm sure it will be out Thursday. I just updated today? Going to have to do it again. Crazy.

I'm having the same dilemma. The Flash page shows version  11.3.300.255, but I have version 11,2,202,235 installed. I tried the download page but still wound up with 11,2,202,235. I'm usually notified in my browser when there's a new version available and when I check for updates, there doesn't seem to be one available for download. I have a feeling this version MAY fix some of the problems that I've had on my Mac using Firefox but, it seems, there's no way to get it.

Perhaps someone could direct me to another Adobe site (I only download from Adobe!).

Thanks,


Clinton
