Can't dismiss Flash Player Settings

[sitenoise]

Adobe is a little wonky on this now, but I am able to "allow" or "dismiss" the little box in Safari when it pops up in every Flash Video I want to watch, but not in Camino.

I've tested it with the Troubleshoot Camino app as well. I simply can't click any part of the dialog. There is, or was, a known issue with the Flash Player, where upgrading to Lion caused this behavior, but supposedly users could hit the Tab key to get to a button and then use the space bar to dismiss it. I can't even do that.

The Flash video will play, but I can't reach any of the controls, like Volume, while the Flash Dialog is up.

I am running 10.6.8, btw

What version of Flash are you running? Does resizing the window containing the Flash dialog by one or two pixels make any difference? (It might take a couple tries.)

File: Flash Player.plugin
Version: 11.1.102.55

I like the suggestion of resizing the window. Odd workarounds like that make me smile ... but it didn't work.

I can't remember, but I think this started when Flash updated to having the System Preferences Prefpane, more than being a 2.1 Camino thing but I can't be sure.

The thing is, if I "allow" or "deny", for instance s.ytimg.com, in the Flash Player Prefs ahead of time I don't get the Flash dialog ... but that's not what I want to do.

Also, and possibly related, for instance:

as with all Vimeo videos in Camino I think, simply won't play. Plays fine in Safari. No Flash dialog, the Play button just doesn't work.

I use Little Snitch and have turned it off. And I use PeerGuardian, and have turned it off. (btw, even with both on, everything works fine in Safari.

btw2 - off topic-ish, I don't use PG for torrenting or whatever it's supposed to be for, I use it because it's the quickest, easiest way to add things to a "hosts" file of domains I never want to connect to. Every domain that ever does a pop-under on me, for instance, offends me and I add it to PeerGuardian's deny list. I wish there was an alternative to this method.

This sounds like this thread. There are suggested workarounds to an unfixable problem, and look at the last link for something specific to 10.7.

Yep. Bummer.

I had the same problem eventhough running IE (silly me). After hours of searching the web i found out you can change your settings directly through the following site:

After changing mine over there it all worked a treat. Hope it helps you all
