Flash Privacy Popup Dialog is missing "Remember" checkbox - actionscript-3

I am trying to get the Privacy Settings Tab to show in our flash/flex4 video chat application we are building. I have 2 systems with latest Flash installed (currently 11.1.102.62). However, the player always shows this (privacy popup question) instead of this (privacy settings tab) when loading the app. The reason i want the settings tab to show is because i need the end user to easily check the "remember" box.
I have tried to call Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.PRIVACY); before as well as after the getCamera/getMicrophone calls but all that happens is we get 2 popups instead of 1. and still no "remember" option. Actually it doesnt show the privacy tab at all!
Searched tons of forums but have come up empty. I have also searched the adobe docs but all I find is a paragraph stating "if your computer or device doesn't support audio or video recording using Flash Player, you don't need to allow or deny access, and this panel doesn't appear". Which is hardly true since one of the systems we are testing with is a new Macbook Air running latest OSX.
Does anyone have any insight into why this might be happening and how to display the "Privacy Settings" and not the "Privacy pop-up question"?

It seems to be a bug in the current Flash player version. The popup freezes sometimes too.
I've educated users of my application to pre-set their settings.

How can i track user's choice in chrome when native app install banner shows using adobe analytics

My mobile website when viewed on chrome, pops up the banner to ask the user if he/she wants to install the native app. Am able to use this by using the manifest.json. Since this pop up behavior is driven by chrome, am unsure how to track this using Adobe Analytics. I can use beforeinstallprompt to get a call back into my application before the app install banner is shown (chrome lets me to listen to this event), but how can I propagate this to adobe dtm for analytics purposes? I want to know how many people saw this banner, how many dismissed it etc..
Thanks

How to disable Flash in Chrome?

I need to disable Flash for a test case where the user doesn't have Flash installed in Chrome.
Before updating, it worked fine with this option --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash.
But now it doesn't work.
How do I disable Flash?
Do the following on your Google Chrome, to disable Flash, or allow it for specific domains:
Option 1:
Navigate to chrome://settings/content and select the option you want in the Flash section.
Option 2:
Chrome Settings > Click Show advanced options... > Under Privacy click Content Settings... > See the Flash section.
There is an easy way.
Go to the url you want to block flash for
Click on icon "i" in front of the url
Change the flash to "Always block for this site"
I discovered something else that appears to disable Flash: Navigate to
chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash
and set the flag that is highlighted (for "Prefer HTML over Flash") to "Enabled"
I have just done this and tested my computer on Do I Leak- and it reports that Flash is disabled
Sadly they removed interaction with plugins like that in chrome 57.
With web browsers being among the most frequently used pieces of
software out there, it's little wonder that there is so much concern
about security surrounding them. Browser plugins can be a major
security worry, and with Chrome 57 Google has taken the strange
decision to block users from disabling them or changing their
settings.
You can still get at the settings by navigating to: chrome://settings/content
Example:
Alternatively you can get there by visiting:
Chrome Settings > Show advanced options... > Content Settings > Flash

Electron steals focus to Windows 10 Touch Keyboard and makes it unusable

I'm trying to run the attached project on Windows 10 Pro (latest version available without Windows Insider Program).
Basically it is a fullscreen browser window that navigate to http://www.google.com.
I configured Windows in Tablet mode, in order to let the touch keyboard popup whenever any text field in the page (in this case the query one) gets focused.
Then, I packaged the application with electron-windows-store in order to let electron work as Windows Store application.
When I start the application and Google home page is loaded I'm not able to use the touch keyboard, because it pops up but immediately disappears, like if electron tries to acquire again focus and causes touch keyboard disposal.
I tried also to disable fullscreen mode and setup frame coordinates in order to be as it was in fullscreen, but no success.
Any suggestion?

GitHub Repo
This seems to be related to an open issue on the Electron GitHub repository. You might have to wait for the Electron team to introduce this improvement.
I've managed it. The issue was caused by an old dependency to electron. Once updated it to the latest version I know (1.4.7) it all started working.

unity player chrome error making me crazy

I want to open unity game in my chrome browser but it’s always showing me error that says Unity web Player Needs Your Permission and it’s not playing. I've installed unity player in my PC.
I have already tried all things but still it’s not working.
I don't know how to solve this... help please!
Enter chrome://plugins/ into the URL bar for Chrome. Find the Unity Player Plugin and check the box for Always Allowed.
I imagine you just haven't allowed the plugin to run. When you try and run it, do you see an icon at the right end of the URL bar? If you do, that icon indicates a plugin was blocked. When you click on it, you should be able to decide what to do with it (allow or continue blocking).
You can find some more info here.

Is it possible to allow your camera to be automatically turned on in Google Chrome?

I am using HTML5 canvas, for a facial detection program. Every time I open the page, Chrome asks me if I want to allow access to my cam. I want to allow it and have Chrome remember so I don't have to keep confirming the prompt. I've already seen this link, but it doesn't work for me.
Yes, when Chrome asks you to allow the web app to use camera and microphone. The user must click in the options drop down menu and select "Always allow this site to use this microphone and this camera" instead of clicking on Allow or Deny buttons.
