Software update: Adobe Flash Player version 24.0.0.194

Adobe has released an update to version 24 of Flash Player. This browser plugin makes it possible to play Flash content, including so-called rich Internet applications and streaming audio and video. Flash Player is built into Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, for other browsers it will have to be installed separately. The use has been on the decline for a while in favor of html5 and more and more browsers require an extra mouse click to still play Flash content. In version 24.0.0.194, the following improvements have been made:

Fixed Issues

• Socket connection fails with Security error#2048.(4198184)
• Event handler Event.CONNECT is not called when using flash.net.Socket to connect the server. (4198188)
