Flash player settings dialog unclickable

I have the same problem. I have only tried it in stickam and Hulu so far, Hulu works, Stickam does not

Same problem for me.

Adobe doesn't seem to be very reactive on this. Their answer is completely useless ( see here ) ! Why is Linux the only affected OS ??

well their answer is somewhat useful but geared more for the developer of your favorite site not the end user. i tried chan ging the <embed> tag's wmode parameter from transparent to window like they tell you to (i used firebug while looking at the page) but still didn't work for me on namemytune.com. so simple yet so annoying...

Flash will read some settings from a file.

I found that setting the option:

WindowlessDisable=true

in the file:

/etc/adobe/mms.cfg

Allows me to use my webcam on UStream.

I tried that and restarted my browser, didn't work for me, though i didn't have an adobe folder or mms.cfg in etc and made it myself so that may be the problem, i did a search but didn't find it elsewhere?

This seems like a pretty silly artificially created problem by the flash devs from what i've read, it needs fixing!

1. Go to: http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...manager02.html
   
2. Go to the Website Privacy Settings tab (it's the one that looks like a monitor with an eye on it) in the little Flash applet.
3. Scroll down the Visited Websites list until you find www.ustream.tv.
4. select that line.
5. change the privacy setting to "Always allow".

From that point forward, ustream should work fine with your webcam and mic. Unfortunately, the Linux implementation of Flash is apparently incapable of prompting you for access like the Windows and Mac version do. Be warned, though--you will have just made it so you will *never* get prompted, and any time you go to the Ustream site, it will automatically have access to your webcam/mic.

Thanks pete, that worked to see my webcam,

Hi, I have the same problem and found the issue

I have cursor fx installed, I noticed some behaviour issues with the click, like I have to triple click an icon on the desktop (first focus an then doubleclick) when I disabled it the problem was gone.

If you dont have cursorfx I recommend you disabling ANY software that may be involved with the cursor behavior . In have also ubuntu but havent tried, but my best guess maybe a beryl module involving the cursor or the window is the source

My specs

Windows 7 32bits
dual boot ubuntu
Opera 9.64
IE 8
google chrome 3.0.195
firefox
all browsers gave the same results

hope this helps

I have the same issue.

If I turn off gnome-do the problem dissapears and I can click in the preferences.

That is a bug in the Ubuntu packaged version of Flash. You will have to uninstall "flashplugin-nonfree" and "flashplugin-installer" and download the flash player from Adobe.

x32 edition:http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get...0_linux.tar.gz

x64 edition: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/l...6_64.so.tar.gz

Then, you will have to extract the tar.gz file and copy "libflashplayer.so" to "~/.mozilla/plugins".

Then enjoy your working Flash!!
