Hello,

Im trying to debug a project on Flex 2 Builder (Vista). After aprox 1 minute it says: Failed to connect: session timed out, 1. You compiled your Flash Aplication with debugging on (obviusly, i did). 2. You are running the Debug version of the flash player.
I already updated the Flash Player version from the Abode site (attending adobe suggestions) and I run the setup in administrator mode but still having the same problem. When I do right-click in IE7 “About Adobe Flash Player 9″ it says version 9,0,115,0 and it’s supposed to be 9,0,28,0.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

I had problems loading sound in Flash 9,0,45,0 but after finding this post I upgraded to 9,0,115,0 and that seems to have sorted it out.

Thanks for the help.

I too am having the same problems as candi and william. I have tried many uninstall/reinstalls to no avail. I would greatly appreciate if anyone had a fix/workaround for this. Thanks.

I have downloaded many times adobe flashplayer 9.0 ..I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times, and the site always says I have successfully downloaded this program. I have restared my computer, and it still does not work when I go back to the site than requires the new flash player. These sites include MSn most of their videos that I need to play.

Can anyone please help.

Hi Candi,

Try restarting your computer and see if that helps. If it doesn’t, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash player.

Does anyone have a fix for IE7 not supporting Flash localconnection()? I had wonderful communication happening between a sound controller and other .swfs on the screen, until my company sent out some Vista/IE7 upgrade (have the same Flash player - Flash 9.0.47)
Like Claude it seems sporadic, yet every .swf has the same functions - sometimes a button in one .swf will stop the other .swf’s sound, mostly it won’t.

There seems to still be a problem with Vista/IE7 and Flash. When a page is opened that has both a text area and a flash file doing a local connection, letters go missing when typing in the text area. This is using flash 9.0.47.0.

To reproduce: create a flash movie with nothing but the following AS code:
_root.localConnection = new LocalConnection();
_root.localConnection.connect(”foo”);

Put this flash movie on a page together with a text area:

Now try typing in the text area. On my system, about one in 100 characters does not get recorded. We’ve seen this behaviour on many different Vista machines.

Currently we are just disabling all localconnections, losing some functionality on Vista.

I have been experiencing problems with Flash 9.0.47 and Windows Vista/Internet Explorer 7. When I have multiple tabs open with a running flash object on one of the background tabs, I can get the message “Internet Explorer has found a problem and needs to close”. See my article on Windows Vista Plusses and Minuses.
