Does OS X 10.8.5 cause Flash to crash A LOT?

I am using an old OSX but up-to-date on FFox, Chrome and Flash plugins, but I am CONSTANTLY having to force-quit because the beach ball spins endlessly and Flash keeps crashing.
Is it impossible to work on the internet (I update a daily news website) with this old operating system and the latest Flash?
I'm on a Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Memory 1067 MHz DDR3, Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB.
I also use an iMac, and they both do the same thing. I don't want to use Safari because of productivity issues as a WordPress Admin.

Try un-installing and then re-installing.

Trying to find out which line of AS2 code is causing flash player crash in firefox & chrome browser

Hello,
I have a flash movie (AS2) created for the website visitors' registration and this flash movie is longer in size than the browser's window height so that site visitors need to browse down using browser's vertical scroll bar to see all of the contents in the flash movie.
When users click the submit button in the flash movie then
Firstly, the AS2 code attached to the      on(release){    event scrolls the html page back to the top (because the user must have scrolled down to view the flash movie content at the bottom of the page and I want the html page to go back to the top of the page)
getURL("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");    // this is the AS2 code I have used for scrolling the page back to the top. I suspect this code is causing the flash player crash in firefox and google chrome
and also tells the _root of the flash movie to go to and stop at a frame named "StartEnteringData".
_root.gotoAndStop("StartEnteringData")     //making the _root of the movie to go to the "StartEnteringData" frame
this.gotoAndStop("Start")                                  //making this movieclip which contains the registation form to go to the first blank frame labelled "Start"
The "StartEnteringData" frame on the _root of the flash movie has AS2 code for entering the registration data to the database by using loadVariablesNum( ... )
Here's my question.
Almost everytime the user/visitor click the Submit button, the firefox browser users and google chrome browswer users see the Flash Player CRASH...
This doesn't happen often with the website visitors using MS Internet Explorer.
I have read some www articles (by searching google) saying that Adobe Flash Player in Firefox and Chrome browsers crash a lot.
But, for my flash movie, everytime the visitor clicks the submit button, flash player crashes. Therefore, I guess it is the AS2 code that I'm using (associated with the on(release) event of the submit button) is causing the flash player crash rather then the flash player compatibility with Firefox and Chrome browsers.
So, someone please tell me what's causing the flash player crash.
Is there a better code to make a web page to go back to the top?
I am also using the codes shown below on the first keyframe of the main movie. (_root)
//For custom flash right click menu:
var myMenu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.zoom = true;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.quality = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.print = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.save = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.loop = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.rewind = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.play = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.forward_back = false;
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;
//For tiling the flash movie background with bitmap picture
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();

by repeatedly commenting out lines of code you suspect are causing the crush and retesting you should be able to pinpoint the problem.

3 articles out of 14 causing flash plugin crash..

Hello,
I have 3 articles out of 14 that crashed the flash plugin in the folio producer. I do not have the slightest idea how to troubleshoot this. Any help would be SO appreciated! (The rest of the articles in the folio are giving me no trouble)
Getting this, when I update in Indesign..

thanks James...
Well it started last week, when I upload the full folio (14 articles). It looks fine on the ipad. I usually don't use the Folio Producer a lot, so I hadn't went into it. When I did I noticed I had no thumbnails. Through trial and error, I have figured out that 3 of the articles cause the "no thumnbails" on the entire folio in Producer and since yesterday, cause the crashing..
So Today I uploaded each folio 1 by 1, trying to single out the troubled ones. So one of the trouble ones is named 03. I update it in Folio Builder, then go to the Producer, open the folio to see the expanded view, and I can tell right away if I it is going to work or not. After about 3 seconds, I get a spinning wheel in Firefox, and soon the whole screen goes blank and I get "The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed" And thats it. I have to reload and the same thing happens.
Now these Action Script errors I'm getting, I do not know if it's coming from the Indesign file or the internet. These are very sporatic and I have yet to pinpoint where they are coming from. Also I tried to copy the entire message, and not EVERY time I update/upload the file will I get a window. I just did it twice to try to give you the entire message and no error came up, however if I go to the folio producer, I still get a crash...
When I did cut and copy the exact text, I pasted it into my Text Edit, and it pasted the actual first page of my article, like a JPG. I have no idea why it did that!
That's all I can think of for now. I hope it makes sense!

Actionscript is causing Flash to crash everytime, Here are my error reports

Someone please help, I have built an animation and can't apply the stop action to my final frame so the animation just replays over and over. BIG PROBLEM.

Why does PSE 10 Landscape Panorama feature cause program to crash?

I've used this feature for a long time, but now it no longer works. Every time I try to invoke it, the program crashes. Other features seem to work fine, but the landscape panorama does not. I've tried repairing the installation, I've uninstalled/reinstalled, but neither has solved the issue. I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas--thanks!

Try making a direct shortcut for the Editor.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish.
To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.

Does anybody know how to keep Adobe Flash from crashing?

Everytime I try to play games on iwon.com adobe flash has a serious problem in crashing.

The Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) provides distributed deployment of runtime services with centralized configuration and management. Multiple nodes can be deployed together in a distributed fashion to support failover.
If you register a secondary Monitoring ISE node, it is recommended that you first back up the primary Monitoring ISE node and then restore the data to the new secondary Monitoring ISE node. This ensures that the history of the primary Monitoring ISE node is in sync with the new secondary node as new changes are replicated.
Please Check the below configuration guide for Secondary ISE- Nodes.

Activating Webcam causes Flash to crash

Whenever I try to use my webcam with anything involving Flash, i.e. the youtube Webcam uploader, it crashes everything Flash related. It even crashes if I go to the Adobe flash test page and go to the "settings" in flash, and click the webcam tab. has happened ever since I installed webcamXP, but continued even after uninstalling. I've reinstalled Flash and Firefox, using the uninstaller and even going to my Appdata folder and making sure all remnants were deleted. I don't know how to get a crash report to post here, so if someone could help with that, I'd appreciate it, unless they know the solution off hand.

You should be able to remove it from your Control panel.
There's an entire forum for this software: http://www.networkcamerareviews.com/forums/about1545.html

Flash CS3 crashing after Mac 10.5.7 Update

Ever since I updated to 10.5.7 Flash CS3 crashes a lot! I could be doing anything and it just crashes. It happens every hour or so, it's weird. Has there been any reported issues of this? Can anybody assist me in maybe how to fix this?

I have been using an external CSS file simply for defining font styles
site wide. The rendering of them on screen in layout view is now just
the plain default font prior to showing the CSS altered version of it.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. You mean it shows your text in the default and *then* renders it correctly using the CSS after a delay?
I tried torching the prefs...perhaps I did the wrong file...what file is to be deleted?
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe GoLive 9.0 Prefs
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings9 (a folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.GoLive.plist
Move them out to, say, the Desktop. If they are not the cause of the problem, put them back replacing the newly-created versions.
I cloned my os prior to the update and all was fine. Rebooting to clone
css renders normal...but in 10.5.7 its not rendering in layout view.
I'm not seeing the same thing here with GL9/OS X 10.5.7, so it may be its something specific to your particular update. You might also want to consider doing a re-import of the site to recreate the site file and see if that helps.

Flash CS4 Crashing When Compiling AS2

Since I purchased flash CS4 (upgrading from flash 8), I have gradually shifted from writing code in AS2 to AS3. Now all of my projects are in AS3 except 1, it's an old legacy project written in such a way that conversion would be almost impossible.
Earlier today I started to work on it and then tried to compile it causing flash to crash. After about an hour I realised that whenever I compile an AS2 project flash crashed. After trying to download patches, restarting countless times and searching the internet for similar bugs, I uninstalled and reinstalled flash. But to no avail, the bug persisted. So I decided to create an acount and post about the bug I encountered on this form, hoping that somone might know about it.
OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 3 64
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 bit

By following the suggestions of this url.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/520/cpsid_52048.html
And deleting my preferences located here.
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS4\
I managed to fix this problem, flash now once again, compiles AS2 files without crashing.

Why does iTunes Match cause iTunes to crash ?

Why does iTunes Match cause iTunes to crash ?

My problem is similar. It began right after I allowed an Adobe update to run. (Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.45.2 is recorded in my Registry.) Now every single website I try to open triggers a window (see below) and repeats many times.
It makes no difference whether I "Allow" or not. I think it runs this window for every flash object on that website. It is occurring while I enter this post!
It makes using the Internet MOST challenging. Surely this is causing major problems for everyone.
I have IE8 on Windows Vista.
Here's the text from the message:
"A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer.
This program will open outside of Protected Mode. Internet Explorer's Protected Mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this website, do not open this program.
Name: Adobe Flash Player
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
(Checkbox) Do not show me the warning for this program again.
buttons: Allow Do Not Allow"
Should I appeal to Microsoft or Adobe for a solution? Is is possible to install the previous version?
Thanks for any wisdom.

Vulnerability Scanner causes Flash Remoting Status Description to return null

I'm having an issue with Flash Remoting that we have been able to track down as being cause by our vulnerability scanner. About 2 minutes into the scan process it causes flash remoting to fail and it does not recover until the ColdFusion Application Service is restarted. What's worse is that I'm not seeing any errors in the log to identify that there is a problem and it's a error the end user is seeing and reporting to notify me of the issue.
Any thoughts of what might be causing this? Is there any logging I can enable to help troubleshoot / identify when I have a problem?
Bellow is a modified snippet of the code we are using to do the call. In alert("Error while calling cfc:" + stat.description); is where we are seeing the error.
function getCurrentDate()
   mx.managers.CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
   var connection:mx.remoting.Connection = mx.remoting.NetServices.createGatewayConnection("http://#cgi.HTTP_HOST#/flashservices/gateway/");
   var zService:mx.remoting.NetServiceProxy;
   var responseHandler = {};
   var dmLAST_MOD_DATE= dmLAST_MOD_DATE;
   responseHandler.onResult = function( results: Object ):Void
    mx.managers.CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
    _root.sessionTime = 0;
    _root.realSessionTime = 0;
   responseHandler.onStatus = function( stat: Object ):Void
    mx.managers.CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
    alert("Error while calling cfc:" + stat.description);
   zService = connection.getService("X.Y.z_dao", responseHandler);
   zService.getToday();
I am runnning ColdFusion 11 on Win Server 2012 R2 and IIS 8.5.

Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
Thank you

The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.

What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
(plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

Re: What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
- You call it rubbish
- The world calls it physics
You are totally wrong. Please go back to School.
o You can deny physics
- but that will not change reality.
You can go to School but that wont change reality.
o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
- I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
- I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
- But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
Yeah because you were there. Are you having some kind of relationship with the company? I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations. The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product.
This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber. This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

My battery life between charges on my ipad 1 has plummeted to about 2 hours. The guy at the genius bar suggested it might be an app (unfortunately I didn't have the device with me). Does anyone know of apps that cause heavy drains on power? Thanks!

The battery life between charges on my iPad has plummeted to about 2 hours. The guy at the genius bar said the charge should last about 10 hours and suggested it might be an app (unfortunately I didn't have the device with me and the nearest Apple Store to me is 2 hours away). Does anyone know of apps that cause heavy drains on power? It also does not charge when it is plugged into my MacBook while I am using the iPad but it does when I am not using the iPad. I mostly use the iPad to read e-mails, play Team Lava games, read books through iBooks or Kobo and the ABC Player. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Restore is about the only option left, short reinstalling the whole thing as new.
Before you restore, go to I tunes and turn off automatic sync. Then plug the machine in. Upload any photos that you have taken with the pad into I photos, or where ever you keep your pictures. Then, in I tunes, transfer any purchases.
If any apps or purchased music get lost in the process, you can download them again for free.
You do not want to make a backup of what you have on the pad now. If you do, when you restore, you will simply recreate the same problem.
What you want to do is restore from a prior backup. Do that.
Then run the system status app and see what the CPU numbers look like. If they are ok, then you can start to re add apps until the problem shows up.
If this does not do it, then the last step is to set the pad up as new. Check the numbers, then add the apps and settings back one by one. While it is likely to be an app, it may be a setting somewhere.
