Flash crashes in Windows 7 while resizing canvas

Every single time I try to resize the canvas in Flash CS4 running in Windows 7 I get a runtime error (see attached), then Flash crashes. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have had something very similar happen and I believe I have it resolved. I built a new Windows 7 64 Bit Theatre Computer with a Saphire video card. The computer would crash using Flash. I first experienced it using HuLu but then noticed again when listening to online radio. I thought it was the video card and so I replaced it. The second one had a bad fan and so a month later I finally got a good video card, but the only thing is it crashed too--extremely frustrating.
I did a lot of research today and found people were solving the issue by uninstalling the IDC Audio Driver. I dont have the IDC Audio Driver. I disabled my Realtek HD Audio within Device Manager. Things started to work but without sound. So, I uninstalled the Realtek Audio Driver through Add/Remove Programs. I restarted my computer and Device Manager installed the Generic High Definition Audio Device Driver and we have sound.
I have even re-enabled hardware acceleration which was a definite killer to freezing my computer. I am very happy now and hope this helps many. What a headache that was. Check out our Home Theatre Systems at www.hawkepc.com

Flash Crashes in Windows 7, 64 bit

I have followed all the steps on : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Nothing seems to work. This issue started after Flash updated. It crashes in Firefox and IE (which I don't like to use). Firefox is my prefered browser, however, flash seems to be working in Chrome now.
I don't know what else to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Flash crashing browsers on unload while playing stream

I've set up the most basic test case while troubleshooting
ongoing crash reports.
- drag FLVPlayer onto the stage
- add the following code to frame 1 so you can play in a bare
FMS 3 server:
import fl.video.*;
VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass = fl.video.NCManagerNative;
- set your path to any FLV file via RTMP to FMS3 (our is
linux)
I can crash any browser just by repeatedly reloading the page
with that movie in right as it loads. Eventually, with enough
repetition, it will crash and take down the browser with a fault in
"Flash_EnforceLocalSecurity". If you have video on every page of
your site, you can see how this might become a bit of a problem...
Network latency will increase the frequency of crashes.
I've been chasing this for months in our own player (AS2).
Finding the same thing with such a simple test case in a bare clip
using the native AS3 component is really surprising.

This log is from Safari on Mac OS X, but the same crash
happens on Vista (FF and IE7) and Mac FF.

Adobe Flash Crash Problem Windows 8.1 FireFox

I have had an issue with not being able to watch any video's or play games on my computer due to adobe flash constantly crashing. I have an HP computer- 64 with windows 8.1 and I use Firefox. I thought I resolved the issue when I uninstalled and then reinstalled adobe, but when I restarted my computer for updates it went back to crashing. I have reset my firefox browser and that did not help anything. I also have found that everytime I restart or shut down my computer adobe flash goes back to malfunctioning. I also wanted to add that I checked the plugins on my browser and it says I have Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6.70 active and ShockwaveFlash 13.0.0.182 active. How do I fix this frustraiting problem?

Have you done a complete "clean install"?
Download the Flash Player uninstaller: Flash Player Uninstaller (825 KB)
Download the Flash Player FULL Installer: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Go to: C/ Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and delete EVERYTHING that Windows 8 will allow (It'll give you trouble with the ActiveX plug-in because it's embedded by Microsoft - avoid it)
Go to: C/ Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash and delete EVERYTHING that Windows 8 will allow (Again, it'll give you trouble with the ActiveX plug-in because it's embedded by Microsoft - avoid it)
Emtpy your Recycle bin.
Run the FULL installer.

Flash crashing my Windows 7 computer?

So a while back i started crashing randomly so i googled it and found nothing and it eventually stopped but recently it started again but more frequently. At first i thought it was Steam because when i opened it my computer would crash but when i uninstalled it i would still crash then i noticed it was only when i was watching youtube / was on a flash game so i did some researching and found out that others were having this issue is 2010/2013 and seeming to have the same crashing problems. Is there any was to fix this? Freezing computer(can still move mouse), Blue screen, auto restart, says Operating system is not found, have to restart again.

So you're saying my monitor is causing the crashes? That doesn't make sense since I lose computer response as well.. Also I watch other stuff like Twitch.tv w/ no problems, it's only when I watch videos from Youtube.
Nope. I said when I saw that, it was caused by a bad monitor. It's caused by "video hardware", which could be all sorts of things. Those repetitive lines are caused by something electrical, sort of like a sine wave on an oscilloscope. Software doesn't cause a monitor, (CRT, LED or LCD) to do that. What you're seeing is cycles of output caused by whatever component malfucntions when this happens. It could be a connector, the GPU, or any of who knows how many different things on the MoBo or throughout the system. Something in YouTube videos, and probably other sites as well, is pushing something too far or accessing something bad hardwarewise, that fails and causes this.

Firefox Flash Crashes on Windows 8 Tablet (Surface Pro) when onboard touch keyboard is activated or when screen orientation is changed

Whenever I have firefox open and I need to type something using the onboard touch keyboard, the moment I activate the keyboard, Firefox freezes. I then receive a prompt saying Flash has stopped working. However, I have updated shockwave flash to the most recent one. Also, I noticed at intermittent times, whenever I change the orientation (portrait --> landscape) on my tablet, I get the same issue as above.
I am not sure if this is a Flash issue, or some sort of integration problem with firefox and the windows8 tablet features.

I have tried that, but did not work. I switched over to Nightly which is still in beta, and it is much better. But still some flashsites like youtube still crash every so often....
Anyone have anything for this?

LabVIEW 6.1 crash on Windows 98 while performing data acquisition

I've just updated my system from LabVIEW 6.02 to 6.1 on my notebook (DELL Latitude CPi-A). Since then, I have a lot of trouble to perform data acquistion.
In debug mode, it appeared that it performed well the first acquisition (AI-config _ AI-start _ AI-read _ AI-close). And then it crashes the computer at the second loop : have to hard-reboot.
Any clue before I re-install LabVIEW 6.02 ????
Thanks,
Cyrille

Thank for your answer.
Actually, I'm sure (99%) that Ni-DAQ works well, because the test panel works fine. And through LabVIEW, it made the first acquisition in debug mode.
Today, I came back with fresh mind and follow some "common issues" with graphic acceleration.
So, I turned off the graphic acceleration from the windows system performance. And since then, everything seems to work well.
But I would suggest to NI to look a bit deeper on those graphic acceleration compatibility issues because it is not the first time I have to turn off this MS windows feature. In previous cases, the error came when I was modifying a XY graph.

Constant crashing with Flash CC in Windows 8.1

Hello I am an avid Flash user who has worked in the program for roughly 10 years since before it was bought by Adobe and called Macromedia MX5. This most recent version of Flash CC is incredibly buggy with respect to the following areas..
I am constantly suffering crashes in Flash on my windows 8.1 desktop computer. The tower I have is more than capable to handle Flash CC so I don't understand why it is crashing. This isn't happening with even heavier hitting software such as After Effects only Flash CC.
I especially notice crashes and stalling when saving as well as when scrubbing or playing in the timeline or trying to clear key frames or adjust keyframes in any manner.
Additionally I have noticed more substantial problems and flaws with Flash CC in comparison to previous versions. This is evident most in the audio options. I think a lot of the problems that stem from audio playback and lagging playback time is the fact that audio is defaulting to a repeat function of 1x when it should default to no repeat function. Sometimes changing repeat to 0 resolves this issue but even still audio always seems to start from beginning of the clip/sound file as opposed to playhead despite having stream selected. This was never a probelm in previous versions of Flash for me, EVER. I don't understand how this has become a problem now all of a sudden when this version of Flash is supposed to be running 64bit as opposed to 32bit.
I also noticed that the audio on some files has ceased to work when I revisit the file later on. It will not play no matter what in the stage/timeline but is audible when I do a test movie or export movie.
Is anyone else having similar issues here? I didn't seem to have so many problems when I was using Flash CS6, this audio thing is probably my biggest beef though I can't say I'm too fond of the crashing either.

first try resetting your preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt while starting flash pro. you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
if that fails, uninstall and then reinstall flash pro.
if that fails, uninstall, clean and then reinstall flash pro following these steps exactly, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Adobe Flash Player Plugin crashes in ALL browsers while accessing webcam

Hi,
I am struggling to get my adobe flash player plug-in working while accessing webcam.
It simply crashes in all browsers. I googled this issue and realized many users are facing this issue.
However I did not get any solution to fix this. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling plug-in multiple times but of no use.
Following are specifications:
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32 Bit) SP3
Browsers: Internet Explorer (8.0), Chrome (8.0), Mozilla Firefix (3.0)
Webcam: Dell monitor inbuilt webcam
Flash Player version: 10,1,102,64
Please note, the webcam is accessible through other applications (e.g. Yahoo! Messenger, Skype, Windows Explorer)
Also, Adobe Flash player doesn’t give any trouble while playing streaming videos on YouTube etc.
Trouble is only when flash player tries to access webcam through any browser (eg. while "Record from Webcam" on YouTube)
An interesting observation I like to note here, the device list that appears in the plug-in window is blank for both video/audio devices (See the area encircled RED in the image below)
Not sure, but just suspecting could this be potential reason for crash?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Struggler

Hello all,
My doubt was correct. It was all due to the blank device list. After lot of struggle I found this solution worked for me:
1. As soon as the plug-in tries to access webcam, it will show you "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
2. Click Deny then Close to close it
3. Now press tab key on keyboard. It will highlight (in yellow) and show list of devices in video device dropdown control (This could be little bit tricky and you need to put little bit more efforts to see the list). You can now select your webcam as device here.
4. Press Tab key again to go audio dropdown and select audio device.
5. Then right click and bring up "Adobe Flash Player Settings" again.
6. Under Microphone and Camera tabs, make sure we select same devices we selected in 3 & 4 above
7. Come back to privacy tab and this time chose "Allow" and then close "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
8. You should now see the camera images in the plug-in
Conclusion: This is a workaround worked for me. Plug-in is quite unstable and there is definitely something here Adobe Flash Player plug-in developers need to do about.
Hope this workaround helps many other users.
Thanks,
Struggler

Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents

Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents. Particularly, when I need any flash content. It freezes up so that the only option will be to force quit the firefox.

I've noticed the crashing increasing with the newer versions. The worst thing is when I'm writing a long email and then go to a page with flash and ff locks up and then crashes. I use IE now for most flash content or mission critical emailing but IE's interface is poorly laid out so I don't like it. I've tried FF with the plugin container and without it and it crashes either way (more often without the container). I use adblock and firebug. I wonder if ppl experiencing this prob are using those plugins too.

Flash crashes when I backspace in a blank TextField while editing a library symbol.

Steps to reproduce. Reproducible every time.
Open Flash CS6, draw a big (classic,input) text field, convert it to a library symbol, then remove the symbol from the stage.
Go to the library, double click the symbol you just created in the library to edit it, then double click the text field to edit the text (currently blank).
Press "Enter" key ten times to make ten blank lines, and then press the backspace key ten times to delete the lines. Flash crashes upon the tenth keypress. If by chance it doesn't crash right away, just press enter a few more times times and backspace an equal number of times and it will crash.
I took a video of it happening at least 3 times. I was editing a project file, trying to make a field just big enough for ten lines by creating the blank lines and dragging the text field handle to resize it, but it was crashing when I tried to remove the blank lines.
Since I was able to make it happen on a brand new file drawn from scratch as well, I figured it was a serious bug and not just a problem with the file I was working with. Also, it seems to occur only when the textfield's type is "input". It stopped happening if I changed the type to "dynamic".

tried emptying cache, had no effect, safari is basically unusable at the moment, using firefox with no problems, i'm thinking that i should do a clean install of leopard as when i installed I upgraded tiger

Detect WHILE a window is being resized

Hi,
Just got back into Java again. Used it in the from time to time during the last 13 years. Can't remember my old account or I would have used that one.
This time around I am using JavaFX instead of Swing. I was wondering how to detect while (not when) a window is being resized. I want to pause all drawing threads while the window is being resized. There doesn't seam to be any answers in the JavaFX API. Anyone have any possible solutions?
Thanks,
Carl

Assuming you do your own painting and you are not using nodes in the scene, something like that might help:
stage.widthProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>(){
public void changed(ObservableValue<Number> observableValue, Number oldValue, Number newValue) {
    requestRepaint();
// same on height.
private PauseTransition repaintTimer = null;
private Duration repaintWaitTime = Duration.millis(750);
public final void requestRepaint() {
if (repaintTimer != null) {
   repaintTimer.stop();
   repaintTimer = null;
repaintTimer = PauseTransitionBuilder.create().duration(repaintWaitTime).build();
repaintTimer.setOnFinished(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
    public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
      repaint();
repaintTimer.play();
public final void repaint() {
impl_repaint();
private void imp_repaint() {
}

Flash CS5 on Windows XP - Exports improperly/crashes on save

Two seperate files of mine have at some point been corrupted to the point that Flash will export either a blank black swf or a swf that is missing movie clips. I down-saved from cs5 to cs4 to show them to a co-worker when I noticed that they will correctly export from the cs4 fla. I began to work on them again but when i went to save my work Flash crashes every time. These files work normally on cs4. This situatio makes cs5 virtually unusable. Can we get a patch for this or something please?

Flash crashes every time in Firefox 27.0.1 on Windows 8.1

Flash crashes every time it tries to load in Firefox. I've tried safe mode with extensions disabled, and it still crashes. I tried disabling protected mode, upgrading to the latest version of Flash, and downgrading to 11.7. I also have updated my video drivers to the latest versions. None of those things helped. Flash works fine in Chrome, though.
Has anyone else had this problem, and have any idea how to fix it?

Flash Player™ works in Chrome® because Chrome® has a proprietary plug-in which Google® modifies and embeds in the browser.
If you've "been through the works" with troubleshooting Flash Player™, try resetting Firefox® (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems). You'll be surprised what that'll fix.
You should alwasys use the latest Flash Player™ and I'd recommend reinstalling it using the FULL installer: Flash Player™ 12.0.0.70 Plug-in (All other browsers)... but use the Flash Player™ Uninstaller to remove the old one.
