Button issues (still?) in Flash Player 10?

We've recently run into problems with standard CP buttons (Back, Continue) intermittently failing in Flash Player 10 (10,1,85,3 to be exact).
We're talking pure standard button functionality (on click Continue), and most times the buttons will work fine. Other times the same button will fail to act (will depress but not click). It seems to be almost purely random -- one time I'll get through the movie with all Continue buttons working fine; I'll clear my cache, replay the movie and a button on slide 2 will not respond; I'll clear my cache, replay the movie, get through slide 2 fine and the button on slide 30 won't respond; ad infinitum.
We're talking IE8, ~100-slide movie created in CP4, published for AS2 - Flash Player 8. We have tried publishing with and without a preloader, to no effect.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I think brightonjon was on the right track. Although I don't think we were (necessarily/always) clicking before the pause point, I DO think that timing, frames, etc. were a complicating factor. On the advice of a colleague I changed all of the button functions from "continue" to "go to next slide" (and of course adjusting slide timing/boundaries, etc.), and go to next slide seems to work much more reliably (i.e., no one's gotten it to break yet in a half-day of intermittent testing).
FWIW, the movie was created in CP4, published for Flash Player 8, Action Script 2 (required for compatibility with related SWFs). Publishing to FP9 or FP10 in CP4 (mostly grasping at straws) made no improvement.
Vish, as noted, this was created in CP4. Again grasping at straws, I did download CP5 yesterday, converted a copy of the CP4 source, and published for Flash Player 10 (AS3 of course). Interesting results: although most of the continue functionality behaved more reliably, intermittently the timeline would just blow right through a button as if it had been clicked. (In these cases I'd see the button on screen momentarily and then the movie would proceed on the timeline.)
Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I now have a much greater appreciation of the complexity of pausing/resuming on the timeline, and wherever possible plan to avoid having to rely on "continue" functionality.

Still no flash player for IE 64 bit

When is there going to be flash for IE 64 bit how long does it take
xp 64 bit has been around for a long time and even vista 64 has been out for roughly 2 years
and still no flash player. I cerntainly won't be buying anything from adobe in the furture
and will be encourging friends and customers to do the same
Get your act together adobe

I read from Adobe's own site that they are working on the 64-bit version for most everything:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
They provide instructions for installing on Mac as well.
I imaging Apple (ahem, Steve Jobs) will still resist Flash on their products until they can get them to run smooth consistently, and even then they're not likely to allow it on their hand-held devices because they don't like developers using cross-compatible languages.

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,
Chris

Still using Flash Player??

I was excited when I saw you were developing a new portal, then realized you are still using Flash Player. ] Please switch to HTML5

Guys,
I'm having the same problem!
Most of the videos appear with large green and red areas (as in the image) that make the vision almost impossible.It happens either with Firefox, Chrome or Explorer, but other video formats work fine, so I understand is a Flash player problem. Every now and then the flash player crashes too.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the 11.3 player and finally installed the 11.2 version back and the problems disappeared, but I can't see a lot of stuff, as they require the latest version.
What should I do?

Issue with latest Flash Player version when replaying videos

I am using an older version of JWplayer "5.10.2295" in a lot of sites and it was working fine so far. Since the latest version of Flash Player came out the videos can't be played a second time on any browser on Windows. It is working fine for me on Mac - quickly tested in Firefox (Nightly) and Safari (latest stable).
Reverting to an older version showed that everything was working fine before. I tried the latest 13 and 14 from Archived Flash Player versions
Has this kind of issue been reported already? Any change in the upcoming beta that might fix this?
Thanks,
Albert

I uninstalled FP following the steps on Uninstall Flash Player | Windows and installed 'flashplayer15_install_win_pi/ax/ppapi.exe' from Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs instead.

I cant find the "edit option" button to download the flash player update !!

i cannot watch any videos and sorts because it says that i have to download the updated version of flash player. but to do this i have to type adobe.com but i cannot find the "edit option" button for me to do this !! helllp !
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i went to watch a video ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

That "edit option" info is for older versions of Firefox.
1. You need to use Firefox at the Adobe website to get the NPAPI version of Flash for non-IE browsers.
Download the Flash plugin from the Adobe [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/ Thank You!] page via:
'''If it does not start, [http://www.adobe.com/go/fptroubleshoot click here] for troubleshooting information.'''
On the [http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/support/index.html troubleshooting page] click the link at the bottom:
If you are still having problems, [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe click here to download].
Save it to your Desktop.
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed,
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Issue with Firefox & Flash Player Installation

This topic has probably already been brought up but I need
some help, please! I can't seem to find anything that matches
exactly what I'm going though here.
Yesterday I did a clean install of Vista. (I had some missing
.dll files for some reason). I re-installed Firefox, and went
through with all the Windows updates, etc. and everything has been
fine. Today, I have been trying to install Flash Player through
Firefox (Flash player is working fine on IE). It goes through the
motion of downloading it from the Adobe site, and it also states
that the download is complete, but when I go to a website such as
Facebook, it's giving me a couple of messages. The actual site's
message is: "Flash Player upgrade required. You must download and
install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this
content." as well as I get the yellow bar up top from Firefox
saying, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media
on this page" and has a button to click saying "Install missing
plugins". When I click on either this button or the "Download
Flash" button on the actual webpage, again, it goes through the
motion of downloading it, but that's as far as it goes. In my
"downloads" window, it shows a bunch of times that I had downloaded
the flash player, but it doesn't even give me the option to open
the file.
Up until yesterday, I did in fact have flash on Firefox.
Another thing I noticed, was when I re-installed Firefox, the
download scheme is a little different (I don't have the download
box at the bottom of the window anymore and I'm not sure why or if
this is just a new version of Firefox that I didn't have before.)
In any event, when I would save the flash player during the
download, I tried a couple of different locations (desktop and
another location in C drive) but when I go to those locations,
there is nothing there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was having the same problem installing Flash 10 for Firefox
and getting the "Insufficient Disk Space" message. I believe this
happens to people whose main local disks have a name other than
"C:" Mine is "G:" I think the problem is that its an install
package that automatically tries to install it on a C: local disk
directory. There is no option to manually install it to a different
directory, so we seem to be out of luck.
However, I did find a link explaining how to manually install
it:
http://www.varesano.net/blog/fabio/installing+flash+player+plugin+firefox+without+having+a dministrator+access+or+premissions
At step 1. Right click the link and choose "Save Link As" and
delete the ".xpi" extension and type ".zip" to save the file as a
".zip" file.
Even though the instructions are for a different problem, I
followed the steps and it worked fine for my problem as
well.

Issue when installin Flash Player on Windows Server 2012

I closed the window and downloaded again however I am still getting the same error message. I followed all the steps described on this link: Problemas de instalación | Flash Player | Windows but still getting the same error.

Hi Andres,
Are you using the online shim installer (about 1 MB in size) downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer, or the offline installer (about 17 MB in size)?

Installation issue for Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.175 (16.3 MB) for Windows 32-bit , English, MSIE

I have spent hours installing, deinstalling, and re-installing Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.175. My system is Windows 32-bit , English, MSIE. I am told the installation is successful, then when I go to YouTube to verify, I still see a message,
"You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
Download it from Adobe."
I have gone to Safety->Tools->ActiveX Filtering and unchecked that box, deinstalled Flash, and reinstalled it. No change.
I have gone to Internet->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites, and made sure Scripting is enabled, and did this for Internet and Local Internet as well.
I don't know what to do. I have spent hours on this, and I don't know what else to do. Suggestions welcome. So is Tylenol.

Issues with Adobe Flash Player installation

My computer said I needed to update Adobe Flash Player, so I did and it says that I have it in my programs, but when I try to look at stuff on the internet it still keeps saying that I don't have it or need to update. I have been trying to fix this for the last 3 days, uninstalling and reinstalling and doing everything your website said to fix it. It still isn't working. I've done all the manage add-ons and enabling scripts things you said to do and nothing works. Please help! My daughter likes to play games and watch videos on here and we do everything on this computer, never had a problem until the last several days. This computer is fairly new, 64-bit using Windows 7. Do I need to have the flash player plug-in also if I already have Flash Player 11?

CATTLYNN wrote:

Meaning Shockwave Flash object is enabled?
Check if ActiveX Filter is enabled; it needs to be disabled.
P.S. you only need the plugin for other browsers than IE (e.g. Firefox).
