    Exclamation Flash player settings dialog unclickable

    Each time I connect to a site with flash apps that want to access the allow/deny dialog flash freezes.
    The actions still take place but flash becomes unclickable

    Intrepid 32 bit
    Lastest flash from repos

    Same thing happens to me, same specs.

    To test, Go to live.yahoo.com
    Right click the video playing choose settings then see if you can click the pop up and change settings?

    not a fix more of a work around and i bet this is more comlplicated than needs be.
    I install youplayer for firefox which then asked to adjust so flash settings through the adobe website.
    i just set everything to disabled site i wasnt using mic/camera features anyway.
    now the app loads ok.

    I used jason_Xtreme's suggestion and was able to work around the problem.

    To clarify:
    I went to http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...manager02.html to use Adobe's global settings manager. On the flash dialog, I clicked on the Website Privacy Settings tab (the one that looks like a monitor with an eye on it), then clicked on the website that I wanted to allow usage of my hardware (in my case, www.woome.com) and clicked always allow.

    I agree that this is unnecessarily complicated. I hope this is fixed with future updates.

    Right-clicking on the flash movie also gives me a disabled "Settings..." option.

    I've discovered that this is caused when the flash movie is set to be shown in windowless mode (wmode=opaque or wmode=transparent) in flash player 10.

    For example, youtube and vimeo videos have wmode=window and doesn't have this problem, but Metacafe uses wmode=transparent and settings option is not clickable.

    I've already reported this bug to Adobe.

    (tested in hardy - FF 3.0.4 and Opera 9.62, flash player 10, both adobe-flashplugin and official tar.gz from Adobe)

    When I go into the settings I can't change anything. I can't change any tabs nor can I confirm or cancel any changes (like with how much data flash can store)

    I have this problem only on megavideo.com and supernovatube. The settings dialog is enabled in youtube though....I can't figure out why... it's the same adobe flash player 10 running in all these sites...!!!

    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 ??
