flash based game stopped loading - web

A few weeks ago our flash based game at www.balutgame.com suddenly stopped loading, which was working fine earlier. The website it self loads, but the game window does not, all users just get a black screen.
We have made no changes to the game, DNS etc. According to our hosting company, PLayerIO, the page and files load, however the game file does not.
Since the web version is flash based, I am wondering if it is necessary to make ongoing updates to the swf file when Adobe make updates to their flash player?
I do not know if we have used Adobe Air as well in the web version, but know this is used somehow in app versions we have.
Our problem is isolated to the webversion www.balutgame.com. Hosted at PlayerIO and domain registered with name.com
How to Fix this?

With the limited information of this question, it is hard to provide any solution.
I did run a few test on your site and figured the play button is linked to a swf file.
It points to http://d1ro1du4c73r1c.cloudfront.net/balut-dq1cn30nkeozclazbnk7q/Balut%20Web/Balut._v3.swf this swf file i think needs some player/wrapper for other dependent functionalities.
Have you updated your web page recently? Also FB plugins never loads!
You can check that as well.

Embedding (Youtube/Vimeo) Videos on a Raspberry Pi

I'm currently working with Raspberry Pi 3's to show webpages from our server, on site.
In this case, on site means about a 100 remote locations like grade schools, where we can't just walk in and update stuff (so making a site offline is a no-go, working with serviceworkers to cache is okay).
My problem is as followed:
When I try to show videos and/or images on the pages, the raspberry's browser eventually crashes.
Because the remote locations don't always have working internet and we do need to show something, we can't rely on refreshing every page.
We've tried both YouTube and Vimeo as video providers, but both crash eventually.
Can someone help or suggest some options?

Ads appearing in our application when they should not be

I had a strange issue from one of my customers this morning, who use my web application. Apparently they are getting "ads" within the browser window when using my application.
I do not put ads in at all. It a straight forward asp.net web application.
What I believe is happening in this case is that the end user has some malware on their pc which "hops" onto their browser session to display their "wares". It could happen to any website they are perusing I guess. I recommended they scan their pc with Malwarebytes.
Is this something that is under the control of the end user, or are there things web application developers can do to prevent this happening. Also some pointers as to how these "ad browser hijackers" work would be good.
Thanks.

Full ajax/pjax site

I´m planning to make a full dynamic site using pjax, with static menu (only the content will be updated with pjax). How bad is this?
The site that i have planned to implat this on have a lots of data on it, most images.
I have tested my solution on my local machine and it seems to work but in production it will probably be slow or what do you guys think? Are this bad practise?
Now on pjax start i slide out my container to the left, and slide in the new content from the right. I have noticed a small performance lost when i do this in Safari and FireFox. Should i skip my solution and just do regular updates of the page? I want to do something like Twitters iPhone app, but on the web.
The reason i want to do this are that i have a full size google maps with a lot of pins that take some time to load.
I have found Tubrolinks (http://www.github.com/rails/turbolinks) that would be included in Rails 4.0, its great adn i think a good answer to my question.

Flash player security settings

I am using twilo client in one of my apps and it is showing following popup when I click on call button
But I want to show the following pop up which is lot simpler and seems less cumbersome
Is there a way to control which pop up comes on the screen? I have read some documentation of adobe but their configuration files live in users computer which ofcourse can not be changed by a website.
Any help will be really appreciated
Yeah, those dialogs are native Flash Player dialogs. The request domain is drawn from the domain that the swf is loaded in, and it must be for security reasons. The only way around this is to have the request come from a swf which is loaded from a "friendlier" domain.
Sounds like something that Twilio would need to address, not you. Perhaps you can bug them on their forum or such?

Developing a web site that can be accessed through mobile phone applications

I am developing a site that is tested only in Firefox and IE. Now I need to make the site accessible from mobile also.
So I need to know whether I need to calculate the time needed to shift the site. Is this created as a new application or the same application is modified?
When accessing stackoverflow.com from my mobile the design is entire changed. How is this done? Is it a separate application?
Thanks
Whether or not you need to create a new application for mobile depends on the site you have. The website at my workplace could not possibly fit on a mobile phone screen (too many frames), but other sites that have a more adjustment-friendly layout might just need a little tweak.
I would test your site on a mobile browser emulator, there are a bunch of them listed on this site.
Also, you might consider switching your firefox's user agent (here) so you can browse popular site's mobile versions, along with the source they used to lay it out.
Usually different CSS templates chosen using UA string matching. My phone has a fairly fully enabled web browser on it, so I get the whole of stackoverflow the same.
Some phone browser may also "mobile optimise" the layout, or in the case of opera mini, it does it on opera's proxy server and then sends modified data to the phone.
Javascript support is more of a problem, expect it to be minimal in most cases, although it is getting better.
