It's no secret that modern browsers usedto access web pages on the Internet, they are, so to speak, a pure software shell, equipped only with the basic functional set. That is why for any of the famous observers constantly come out all sorts of additions and extensions, called plug-ins, allowing them to significantly expand their capabilities. One of the most important and essential in the work is Browser Plugins Adobe Flash Player. Turn it on is easy. However, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the browser used, which will be discussed further.
The player itself was originally a product of the company.Macromedia, which for its creation used the development of the company Future Wave. Somewhat later in the merger of Macromedia and Adobe Systems, Adobe became the intellectual property of the corporation.
In terms of using Adobe Flash Player version 7(Windows) or any other operating system, and not only from Microsoft, as an addition to the browser, there is one indisputable advantage that the program does not have its own physical shell (interface), but is embedded in browsers. That is, you do not need to manually call the application when playing multimedia content.
Well, the plugin’s functionality is more than enough.The simplest thing is to play video and audio of almost all known formats, play animation, support graphics of any type, and so on. Thus, this universal player is an integral part of the browser, although it is not built into browsers initially. You can, of course, use Shockwave Player, but its functionality is much lower than that of the latest Flash player.
Installation and connection of special difficultiesusers of any level of training should not be called. First, the program is downloaded from the official site, and then it remains to simply run the installer (always with an inactive browser / browsers) and wait for the process to complete.
Only the main menus and the menu of access to the plug-in section can differ, so there’s no particular reason to dwell on this. But about installing updates worth saying separately.
Update Adobe Flash Player, in principle, you cancompletely elementary. The service itself, which is responsible for tracking the appearance of new versions of the player, is by default in the active state and is loaded along with the operating system. A pop-up window in the system tray contains a message about a new available version or the need to install an update.
By clicking on the message, the user is taken tothe official website, after which the system configuration is checked and the update is downloaded. But here, many begin to difficulty. The fact is that the automatic update does not occur.
The downloaded installer must be run.manually (you can even without administrator rights, since the system will still issue a request in terms of trust in the program). This is followed by installation. Again, all browsers must be closed.
Another problem is that sometimes beforeupdate, you need to remove the old version, because there may be conflicts. Infrequently, but this occurs. The same applies to the removal of the add-on, when the user needs to choose which version to uninstall and which to leave (new modifications cannot always replace outdated ones). So it turns out that updating Adobe Flash Player is only possible in manual mode. The only thing that is good is that after installing any version of the player in browsers, it is not necessary to turn it on because it is activated independently.
As you can see, enable Browser Plugins Adobe FlashPlayer, just. But in conclusion, I would like to mention a few important points. First of all, do not remove the updater from the autoload of the system (although there is nothing wrong with that, because when you try to play media using an outdated player, an update message will be issued anyway).
В процессе установки новой версии на первом шаге Pay attention to the block located in the center of the installer window. It contains suggestions for installing additional software (for example, Chrome, various additional add-ons, Yahoo !, anti-virus software, etc.). If you do not need it, just uncheck all items. In addition, sometimes users do not pay attention to the fact that when installing the browser offered by the installer, in parallel there is a point of using it as a default browser. But you do not need to activate the Browser Plugin Adobe Flash Player. Enable it will be necessary in all other browsers.
