Although this is touched on briefly in other posts, I would like some report from those who were brave enough to do the update, and what were their experiences. Typically Adobe has conflicting information depending on where you look, and it was someone on another thread that actually pointed me to a statement that the update is supposed to apply for 10.5.8 and the latest Safari update, and pointed me to the proper update link. Elsewhere it seems like Leopard was left out altogether in the system requirements. Based on my experience with Adobe on both Windows and Mac platforms, I am extremely reluctant to proceed as more often than not things don't work, and one has great difficulty in backtracking. In as much as Flash works perfectly now, security issue notwithstanding, I have to decide which is the larger threat: the security hole, or Adobe's wretched installation processes. Adobe Flash Player 10 Download WindowsMac OS X, version 10.4 and 10.5: uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg The uninstaller is downloaded to the Downloads folder of your browser by default. In Safari, choose Window > Downloads. Comments most welcome. The Flash that has come with our systems CAME with our systems, and is merely the web component. Look at your browser's installed plug-ins: they are Shockwave Flash. Now Adobe may have bought out Macromedia who originally developed Shockwave, but we do not have an application Flash Player on our systems. At least I don't. That is why I am so reluctant to do this upgrade although browsers (e.g. Firefox) keep telling me I should, for security reasons). As I noted, everything works as it is. When I used PCs I had the same nightmare that you describe trying to 'un-do' an Adobe Flash update that was reputed to be for my OS, but which screwed up everything, and it was impossible to go backwards as the Registry had so many entries that only a Microsoft technician would have be able to fix it. I lived with a limping flash until I got a new computer. Eager to hear other responses. Adobe Flash Player Mac Os X YosemiteAbout Adobe Flash Player for Mac The Adobe Flash Player is a widely distributed proprietary multimedia and application player created by Macromedia and now developed and distributed by Adobe after its acquisition. Flash Player runs SWF files that can be created by the Adobe Flash authoring tool, by Adobe Flex or by a number of other Macromedia and third party tools. Adobe Flash, or simply Flash, refers to both a multimedia authoring program and the Adobe Flash Player, written and distributed by Adobe, that uses vector and raster graphics, a native scripting language called ActionScript and bidirectional streaming of video and audio. Strictly speaking, Adobe Flash is the authoring environment and Flash Player is the virtual machine used to run the Flash files, but in colloquial language these have become mixed: Flash can mean either the authoring environment, the player, or the application files. Flash Player has support for an embedded scripting language called ActionScript (AS), which is based on ECMAScript. Since its inception, ActionScript has matured from a script syntax without variables to one that supports object-oriented code, and may now be compared in capability to JavaScript (another ECMAScript-based scripting language). Adobe Flash Player Features • 3D effects • Create high-performance, real-time effects for cinematic experiences that quickly engage users. • Advanced text support Updates.
