When did these flash player problems begin?

So, I had a computer running Win98 and IE6, which worked
great until Flash Player 8 autodownloaded about 4 months ago,
causing the beginning of an extreme headache. Several
communications with Adobe support (they eventually stopped
responding) over several weeks went nowhere None of the fixes
suggested by them, nor the ones here worked. Countless manhours led
me to think it was time to bite the bullet, buy a new computer. So,
as of two months ago I have a new computer running XP and IE6 with
SP2. I didn't know it until today, when I started having crashes,
but I have Flash Player 7.0.19.0. When i go to Adobe's Test page,
both Shockwave and Player windows show the animations (and no
crash).
On certain pages, which I believe have flash content, I get
the "IE has experienced a problem and must close" message. It
specifically mentions the flash.ocx file as the offender. It is
repeatable when visiting certain pages.
So, before I jump into the abyss of attempting to fix this, I
am wondering when these types of problems began. I have been using
Windows and IE since 1998 with no trouble until this year. I hoped
moving to a new computer would solve my Flash compatibility
problems. Could the root problem be new types of spyware, etc that
change something in the registry? Some of the fixes suggested by
Adobe were regarding keys changed in the registry. Unfortunately
those fixes didn't work (in Win98).
Finally, does anyone know if attempting to fix flash player
under XP is any easier than 98? Also, I will admit I may have
visited some sites recently that downloaded some adware, etc. Any
suggestions on cleaning that may solve the flash player problem? I
know this post is all over the map - I don't know where to begin...
Thanks in advance, Don

Hi
Which browser is giving you the error? Is it IE11?
Are you saying when you go to Adobe's website and download flash player it gives you an error?

Adobe Flash Player Problem: "Movie Not Loaded"

new user to mac.
i'm getting more and more frustrated with this computer.
what's bugging me the most right now is
i am unable to view videos on certain websites.
rather than showing the content,
a white box appears.
when i right click on the white box,
it says "movie not loaded" (in gray) and adobe flash player 9 (in black).
i can't click on the gray line.
when i click on the black line, it brings me to the adobe website and tells me adobe flash player 9 has been successfully installed.
i am fairly sure this has nothing to do with heavy traffic.
any insights on how to resolve this issue?
cheers.

Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?

Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?
I installed a corporate install of Flex/Flash Builder 4 Premium, and verified that it was the Premium version was installed. The Start Page said that Flash Player was needed to display the text, so I installed Flash Player 10 Debug -- first download link from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
When I then started Flex Builder 4, the splash screen showed Premium, but as soon as the Start Page was visible, it showed "FB Adobe Flash Builder 4 Standard" --- Help | About showed Standard, and the splash screen from then on showed Standard.
A Google search showed a work around for this, but it requires a license for Premium, which I don't have because our corporate install has it built-in:
http://bloginblack.de/2010/05/adobe-master-collection-cs5-breaks-flash-builder-4-premium-a nd-how-to-fix-it/
1. Anyone know how to resolve this?
2. Can Adobe fix this?
Thanks!

I had similar problem. I was involved in Flash Builder prerelease program and few months later I installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection. After that I had a same situation. Best thing was, my Flash Builder Beta was Premium version but acted like Standard, and FB from CS5 was Standard but acted like Premium. I removed CS5 and beta version of CS5. used CS5 Cleaning Fix and then reinstalled my apps.
I was lucky that I didn't have many big projects involved in FB beta or CS5 workspaces, I heard some guys had problems with migrated workspace configurations but I don't know what was the problem.

When I install Flash Player version 10.2.152.32 it shows up in the control panel but only ....

When I install Flash Player version 10.2.152.32, it shows up in the control panel, under Programs and Features but the only thing that shows up is the name and version of the product. On the right hand side, the size of the program in megabites is supposed to be displayed but it isn't for flash player. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and it is a 32 bit operating system and the browser I use is Windows Internet Explorer. Does anyone know why I could be having problems downloading this?

What is the problem you are having? Does Flash Player work? Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?
Flash Player is a browser add-on, not a standalone program, and most likely therefore does not indicate any program size in the Control Panel.

There will never be flash player 10.1 or better for the N8. Adobe themselves have stopped development of Flash player for mobile devices.

Float4() causes "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player

Simple test
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel untitled
<   namespace : "Your Namespace";
    vendor : "Your Vendor";
    version : 1;
>
    input image4 src;
    output pixel4 dst;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        dst = float4(sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));
The above code will produce a "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.449694.
"dst = (sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));" works fine. And anything like "float4 a= float4(b);" will give same error.

Thank you for the error report. I'll put it into our bug database. We're bottling things up for the current version. Gven the workaround, it is unlikely we'll be addressing this bug soon. Please accept my apologies for the annoyance this will cause.
In your second example, float4 a = float4(b), does it return an error if b is only a float4 or regardless of what b is? If b is a scalar float, for example, is the conversion performed correctly? If so, this could be an error that only crops up when using constructor/conversion syntax when the thing being converted is already the correct type.
Thanks,
Chuck.

Code Execution When I Close Flash player.

Hello,
Is there a way to clear shared object when I close Flash player.
stage.addEventListener(Event.UNLOAD, Close);
function Close(event:Event):void
mySO.clear();

The code with unload does not work.
Normally when you close an app, a dialog box prompts you if you want to save.
With the method fileReferecence.browse(); Flash player can communicate with Operating System built-in dialog box.
If that is possible then there must be some way to communicate with the close button right.

Unwanted pausing and freezing at the beginning - Flash player problem - Need help

Hi everybody,
I have got the following problem: the problem occurs especially on youtube.com.
Every time when I open a video, the adobe flash player buffers the video a little bit and suddenly the grey line, which means the buffering on youtube video, stops. Then video plays only until the end of the grey buffer line. Then it freeze and I have to wait until 10-20 seconds until the grey line continues moving forward and at the same time the video continues to play.
But I don't want to have that freezing problem at the beginning of each video.
The important thing to know is: when I used a very old version of the flash player (the version 9 or 10) then every video on youtube worked very well without any freezing problems at the beginning
What is the solution. Can you please help me?
Here is what I have done so far:
I updated my flash player to the latest version.
My internet speed is very fast.
When I click right on the youtube video screen in order to go to the settings: then I unchecked "active hardware acceleration, I changed the temporary storage limit to "unlimited".
My global settings looks like the following: I checked "allow websites to save information on your computer" and "ask if a website wants to use a peer assisted network".
My OS: Windows 7 (64)
Current version of firefox, chrome and IE. I have the problem in every browser.
In the attachment you can see 2 screenshots of my problem: One where you can see the grey buffer line. and the 2nd: where you can see that the video stopped loading and buffering and the video stopped playing.
Unfortunately, I don't get money from the company for advertising its product *sigh*. ;-)

Just because your internet connection is fast doesn't mean that the route from the specific server to you is also equivalently fast. You can get some additional information by right-clicking the YouTube video and choosing Stats for nerds. That information would be interesting.
If video plays back fine once it actually buffers successfully, then there's probably not a lot you can do. You might take a look at a different browser. Google Chrome will probably use HTML5 playback on YouTube, and Internet Explorer will use the ActiveX control on Flash, which is significantly different from the NPAPI Flash Player used in Firefox.

Have a flash player problem when visiting my website

I'm sorry, I did not know where to ask this question, so I tried my luck here. Anyhow, me and my fiance own this website about prom dresses where we find some dresses around the web and write reviews about them. But some of our friends told us we have some kind of weird flash problem on our webpage. Perhaps, some of you more knowledgable guys can take a look and see if they are right? I've tried visiting my website from a number of computers and mobile phones, but never encountered any kind of problem. But I'm not very into technology and would like you advice very much.
Here is the website in question: [sketchy link removed] and here is the web page they have said they had flash player issues: [sketchy link removed]

Unfortunately, technical forums are popular targets for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watering_Hole attacks, and I'm not going to risk it to go debug your website for you. I wish that we lived in a world where we could keep our doors unlocked, but there you go.

Audio and video problem when streaming after flash player update

After i updated to the latest flash player (11.7) I have problems with video streaming. The video plays but after a while the audio stops and the video will keep playing but will also stop after a few seconds. Is the new flash player update at fault?

hello volden, your system details list two versions of the flash plugin (Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700 & Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602) as being installed in firefox, which can lead to problems.
please try to use the [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html flash uninstaller provided by adobe] to remove both versions and afterwards only install the current plugin from https://www.adobe.com/go/getflash

Error 1722 when installing Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (Active X MSI)

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue with installing the latest Adobe Flash 10.1 (ActiveX MSI) on Windows XP.
It's coming up with error code 1722 stating...
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action NewCustomAction1, location: ...\InstallAX.exe, com..."
I've tried many things such as SubInACL resets, ISScript 11 installer, adobe uninstallers, manually register ocx files, using the local administrator account, changing Internet Explorer Security settings, running Proc Mon to identify the issue - to no avail -, downloading the MSI file again, running the EXE file, but I can't seem to install the player.
The real scary side to this is that it seems to me that it's too unstable for me to deploy it across the entire corporate network due to using these fixes to have the player installed.
Is anybody able to comment or assist in finding a solution to this problem.
Regards,
SG

Success!!
I found the reason why the Adobe Flash Player Active X Control wasn't installing properly was due to McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise.
The Access Protection - Anti-Spyware Standard Protection module was causing the executables (when installing) to NOT accessing specific parts of the registry to complete the installation.
I've had to make the following changes to my McAfee policies in order to allow the Adobe Flash Player Active X Control to install successfully.
Anti-Spyware Standard Protection - Protect Internet Explorer favorites and settings
Processess to exclude:-
InstallAX.exe
FlashUtil10h.exe
Uninstall_flash_player.exe
You might be able to make similar changes to your environment if you're using another product.
I hope this helps anyone who is experiencing the same issue that I was experiencing whilst trying to understand what was happening in our environment.
All the best,
spirosl
