The Wall Street Journal microblog news: According to Dr. Walt Mossberg’s answer to readers’ letters, the columnist of The Wall Street Journal “personal digital life” section, Apple MacBook and iMac can actually run Adobe Flash Player, can also browse Flash video and Flash websites like the Windows computer does. Although Flash software is no longer pre-installed, users can download and install by themselves.

Q: I will go back to school in this fall, and I have contacted the school to know which laptop or tablet computer should I use. They said the Adobe Flash Player is needed to demonstrate the courses. I like Apple, but I know the latest Apple MacBooks and iPad are without Flash support. Is that true? If so, what should I buy?

A: There are many misunderstandings, the truth is that: MacBook and iMac can actually run Adobe Flash Player, can also browse Flash video and Flash websites like the Windows computer does. Although Flash software is no longer pre-installed, users can download and install by themselves for free. The download URL is http://adobe.ly/3omS9y. After installation, you can browse any Flash video and website on your Mac normally.

In contrast, the built-in browser in iPad does not support Flash Player, so you can’t run Flash video or website. However, there are some third-party browsers exclusively for iPad can run Flash, such as Skyfire and Puffin. Although the support is just a little bit crappy sometimes. Puffin is already available for purchase in iPad App Store. If you are looking for a tablet PC with natural Flash support, you can consider of buying a new Android model or HP Touchpad, even though, some Flash video and website still can not be displayed properly on the current generation of tablet PCs with default Flash support.

Q: how to sync the calendar and contacts between PC and iPad? Please give some advice.

A: There are two ways to do that. Use iTunes or use the calendar and contacts on networking service providers like Google, Apple auto-sync service MobileME or Microsoft Exchange to auto-sync the data between PC and iPad.

PS: An SWF to iPad converter is also another very easy way to make Flash SWF files playable on iOS devices like iPad and many others.

Foreign media report, Adobe recently released the latest version of Flash Player 10.3, including the developer tools, and the enhanced ability to protect your privacy. For developers, the key updates include video content influence evaluation and echo elimination. Flash product manager Thibault Imbert said, users can easily clear the local storage from browser settings interface, quite similar to clear the browser cookies.

Flash Player 10.3 has integrated local storage control and browser privacy settings into one. It is compatible with Mozilla Firefox 4, Microsoft IE8 and higher versions, and the upcoming Apple Safari and Google Chrome. End users will benefit from the privacy control embedded in browser, and experience the auto-update and the improved user panel of Mac OS.

Adobe is said to publish the AIR software next time containing more Flash alike functions, due to the fact that the basic codes are shared by Flash Player and Air. More details of AIR will be released soon in a couple of days. The mobile version of Flash Player 10.3 and the next AIR and AIR SDK will be released shortly as well.

Besides the high privacy protection, Adobe Flash Player 10.3 works perfectly with Flash SWF to video converter as well. The unique Lower-Playback-Speed technology enables SWF converter to capture the source Flash files with extremely-low frame rate(because it is covered accidently by other objects), the reaction of the program itself to one of the new features came along with Flash Player 10.1 and remains until now – periodic timer. For more details, please read here.

Windows Media Player 11 is very pretty(though the latest version of Windows Media Player is 12 already), however, it’s not able to play SWF file – also called flash file – under the default settings.

If we do insist to open SWF file with Windows Media Player, a security alert will pop out and remind: Your current security settings do not allow this action. Why is that? Windows Media Player itself doesn’t support playing SWF files, so when the search decoder discovers Flash Player ActiveX installed in IE, the alert beeps.

How to solve the problem? Type gpedit.msc in Start-Run menu to open Group Policy, choose User Configuration – Administrative Templates – Windows Components – Internet Explorer – Security Features – Local Machine Zone Lockdown Security, then doule click All Processes on the right.

Last step, choose Disabled in All Processes Properties menu.

Now, try to play flash SWF file again and enjoy the unique flash playback in your familiar Windows Media Player!
