Flash games on Safari

One of the few things I don't like about my computer is that it runs flash games very slowly. I've always noticed this with Macs. Is there some plugin or something I can download, or is my computer just too slow?

It's not necessarily your computer and you're not the only one. The Flash player for Mac has always been second rate. However, you might be happy to hear that the Flash Player 8 for Mac is supposed to be equal to the PC version. I got this straight from the horse's mouth at a recent Macromedia Studio 8 seminar.

Safari 5.1 plug in failure after running flash games for a while

After upgrading to lion I get plug in failure error often. I have to restart safari to get the flash game Sunshine ranch ( a chinese farmville game) to work again
Flash player plugin Plug-in version 10.3.181.34 is installed.

Try deleting Flash cookies > Flush.app – Flash Cookie Removal Tool For OS X | MacHacks.TV
And empty the Safari cache. You can do that from the Safari menu bar, click Safari / Emtpy Cache.

Safari Will Not Play Flash Games or Videos on my account but will on others

As of last night my MacMini will not play videos at mlb.com, YouTube.com or flash games at ClubPenguin.com. When I log out of my account on the same computer and log into my kids' accounts it will play all of the above mentioned sites quite well. The problem cannot be with the websites not being compliant with Safari since they are playing normally on my kids' account on the same computer using the latest version of Safari.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.10) iBook, iMac, iPod, iPod Mini, iPod Nano

Well most issues are either A. system wide, or B. User specific.
In this case the issue was user specific because it happend only in your user, not your kids accounts.
There are prefernce files (plists) for pretty much everything. When something goes wrong, a good place to start is to pull relevent plists from YOUR user library. home>library>preferences
If this issue was system wide and happening in all accounts, you would start pulling plists from the library under your hard drive. harddrive>library>preferences.
When the machine is restarted or logged off after pulling these, when you log back in the preferenece files are regenerated back to standard settings.
Yes you can trash those plists now with no problem.
excuse my spelling errors, im typing while on break for 5 min!
hope this helps

Flash (latest) causing Safari 4.0.4 to "hang" every time

So in another thread I was told that Safari is "hanging" rather than "crashing" - I know that deep in the technical side of code there's a difference, but on the user end, they look and act the same, hence my extreme confusion and frustration. How long must one let Safari "hang" before it becomes a "crash"? If you literally can't do anything other than Force-Quit, how is that not the same thing? I was also told that given my report (the first one below), I'm running Safari in 64 bit, but according to the "Get Info" screen for Safari, I'm running in 32 bit, and Activity Window does not show the (64 bit) in the Kind tab for Safari - can someone explain that one to me also? I see where it's indicating that, but like I said, I'm not according to all the places I've been told to look. Also, as I noticed in another thread about a different issue, I do NOT have the "Open in Rosetta" box checked either. Before I posted, I forced this issue again so I could have a new report to have for comparison's sake.
Yesterday (and for about 2-3 days now) when I tried to access sites with Flash (for the sake of someone wanting to try and duplicate the issue, we'll make it easy, mindjolt.com, a simple Flash games site) it would lock up, and I was able to kill the Flash module using Activity Window and continue on to other sites until I hit the next piece of Flash, in which case I'd have to use Activity Window again and keep going. The only problem with this "solution" is that I NEED Flash to work for websites for my volunteer job. I've tried ClickToFlash, and it only keeps it from locking up until I try to activate one of the Flash modules and then it locks up and requires me to use Activity Window to shut it down.
Today when I try to recreate the issue I no longer have the Flash plug-in showing in the Activity Window so I can't shut it down and keep going, I have to completely Force Quit Safari and open it back up. I've tried five different times with mindjolt.com (trying to launch game), Facebook (trying to launch flash based app), azcentral.com (news site, was able to navigate through 3 pages), youtube (locked up nearly instantly), nbcolympics.com (navigated to a specific athlete's tweet page on the site)
I've refreshed the cache, reset Safari, uninstalled/reinstalled Flash, reverted to an earlier version of Flash (9.?), completely emptied the Internet Plug-ins folder before reinstalling the newest Flash again, my Input Methods folder was empty to start with, and it's causing the same problem in Firefox. Those are the only two browsers I have, and typically I only use Safari because it runs just about everything I need it to.
Below are three (3) reports: one (1) from yesterday (before the Flash plug-in disappeared from Activity Monitor) and two (2) from today, the first one I ran and the fifth one I ran.

Hi
sorry that the explanation asked for by someone else added to your frustration - one point was that your problem is different to theirs, and hence easier dealt with in its own thread.
If activity monitor says it's 32 bit and Safari's option for 32 bit is checked - it must be in 32 bit... I only mentioned that the report posted on the other thread seemed to show otherwise - +Architecture: x86_64+
slightly off-topic... crash reports are nicer, cuz they show more detail of what plugins/input managers etc etc might be loaded & causing trouble. Which is handy, since people often overlook one in the jumble of unfamiliar filenames & folders.
More ot - but you mentioned it... one of the advantages of 64 bit, is that plugins are run as separate processes, hence they show in activity monitor, and when they crash, don't take the browser with them.

Flash games, serious problem with windows 7 bootcamp

when you open a webpage that has a flash game, windows 7 bootcamp stucks from time to time, with no reason! why is this happening? using firefox. tried safari the same thing, and tried latest flash player on both. try facebook games or google random flash games most of them cause windows 7 to stuck or go slow! suggestions please, does anyone else have the same problem?

sorry the whole win 7 freezee on mbp 13", wait for apple update (i hope they notice)! now running XP SP3 and runs great!!! "laptop 2 go drivers" and runs games perfect!

I have a problem with my iMac (intel). Youtube doesn't work for almost a year, and now even the flash games (like facebook's games) doesn't work (sorry for my english)

Hi, i have my iMac from 2008 and it's always work but for almost the lasy year youtube doesn't work. That's wasn't a problem but. right by now, everytime i tried to watch a video the mac start to freeze and i must close all the application which are working and, sometimes, i need to shut down the entire sistem. I tried to reset safari, delete chache and cookies, whatever...but nothing. What can i do?
P.S. Even the flash games, like facebook's games doesn't work...they are slow and sometimes they freeze all. Sorry for my english

Pick and download the latest Flash Player for your OS.

Why are flash games not working properly on Firefox, while they work perfectly on other browsers?

I own a MacBook os x 10.5.8 Intel core duo.
My problem started a few weeks ago, I tried playing a flash game, first it came up that i didnt have flash, which I did, so I ran an update but I already had the latest version.
I gave up on the games on that page and went to newgrounds.com, but turns out everytime I try to play a game the controls wont work properly on any game.
I thought it might be my flash, so I went to chrome and played the same game, no problems, to opera, no problems, to safari also no problems. So the problem is my firefox and the flash plug in? I already uninstalled it and re installed it, downloaded it again and followed every piece of advice I could find about this, nothing works.
I appreciate some help with this matter, I like working with firefox, wouldnt want to change to other browsers.

Hi gorgonzola357, there are some platform-specific differences between Windows 7 and MacOSX that may be relevant.
Have you tried disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3, since that feature is currently being debugged? See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

Flash game has control key glitch in FF4?

This flash game: Dogfight 2 at Rock Solid Arcade has worked fine until I upgraded to Firefox 4.
The problem is this: it uses the CONTROL key to drop bombs. This part of the game doesn't work. Pushing the CONTROL key doesn't do anything.
The game still works in Safari.
I'm on a Mac, os 10.5.8
Does Firefox use the Control key for something else? Reserve it?
Thanks.

Could be your keyboard problem or something corrupted on the
OS itself.
Hand tool as activated with space bar (temporary) or the H
key. I have been
using CTRL Z and CTRL - + and have never experience this
problem even once.
Just today I spent about 9 hours of continues work on a
project, not even once...

Can't access online games as safari won't allow

I have been trying to access online games but Safari wont allow me.

What online games ? If they are flash-based then you won't be able to as flash is not supported on any iOS device - in which case you could see if they have their own app versions in the iTunes app store

Online Java and Flash Games

I have had this problem forever and I'd love to know if there's a solution.
On Safari, Firefox, and Opera I simply cannot play online games.
Flash games run disgustingly slow on all three web browsers, but still function. Java games, however, simply crash. An example is Pogo's online java games - the chat applet will load, the game will load and instantly crash upon completion. It closes the pop-up window, though the rest of the browser pages/tabs are fine. I'd really like to know if there is a solution, I already repaired my disk permissions, rebooted, etc etc. Note: Websites created entirely in Flash function perfectly fine, though they lag a bit.
I'm on a 1 GHz PowerBook G4 with 1 MB L3 cache and 768 MB SDRAM, on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Interesting fix. Being new to Macs I am not sure how that happened to you. I checked my Safari's info and Open with Rosetta was already unchecked. It's not that I cannot completely play Java games on Pogo, but if the game window does not crash, the game table will be blank and the chat text area will be shown, or the chat text area will be blank while the game table shows up.
It is frustrating. Still, I think it is more to do with the developers and web designers than with our out of the box settings. In comparison, the majority of Windows PC's can play games on Pogo, Yahoo, MSN, etc., without much more than downloading and install ActiveX.
If a Windows PC and a Mac both have the same version of Java installed, and all required platform updates are installed, respectively, what common sense reasoning would be behind the conflict that either platform would have with interacting with a Java based online gaming site?
The coders do not write for the lesser number of site traffic. Hard to swallow, but it is my honest opinion. Still, I gave up frustrations I could count on when I shut down my PC for the last time and I do not intend to allow a lack of gaming to get me down as a new Mac user.

Check your plugins are uptodate!
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
Type '''about:addons''' in URL and Goto Plugins
* Check all the plugins are "Always Active"
Somewhere on the page right click, go to view page info > permissions and make sure that adobe flash content is allowed to play on that domain.
Flash in Protected mode occurs issues too

Updated to 7.7 - now youtube and flash games won't work

I upgraded to 7.7 a while back and ever since then I can't get youtube videos to load or play flash games online though safari. Any idea what could be causing this problem. Please let me know!

whats the format on the external HD?
verify same on another Mac, its likely a dead SATA card inside the external enclosure.
One assumes you arent referring to a 2012 Air with a Toshiba SSD, since the Air contains no hard drives, only a SSD.
2013 Air use Sandisk or Samsung SSD.

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However, I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

How Can I Learn To Develop Flash Games For Under $50.00 USD?

I am completely new to anything Flash. I have never written a
single line of Actionscript. I don't know the difference between
Flash and Flex. I don't know in what forums Flash developers hang
out. I don't even know what kind of coffee they drink, or if they
drink tea instead.
However, I have developed games and have been thinking about
developing some casual games and have heard rumors that Adobe is
"pushing" causal game development with Actionscript 3 and their
latest releases. So I went to adobe.com expecting to see a link for
something like "learn how to develop games in flash" or some such.
I poked around the developer related pages and didn't find anything
I thought useful.
What I did find were plenty of stuff for *existing* flash
developers. Links to articles and HowTos for specific topics and
information about products that cost a minimum of several hundred
dollars. I can't learn how to develop games and create a prototype
with a 30-day trial, and I am not going to buy a $1000 pro-grade
tool when I am an indie developer without a budget or a pre-funded
project that would justify such expenditures.
I have seen some open source stuff, but don't know if it can
do anything more than build some annoying shaking banner ads.
So let me introduce myself as a possible use-case for Adobe
Marketing and the Flash (Game) Developer community.
I am an educated experience software developer who has a day
job doing "enterprise" software stuff. I want to *play* in my free
time (evenings and weekends) with "Flash Stuff" and learn enough to
be able to build a simple game that I can put on my personal
website and have my friends download. I am not a student, so I
can't get student discounts. The money I have goes toward
toys^H^H^H^H tools for my other coding habits^H^H^H^H^H projects. I
am not interested in 30-day trials, as I may go 45-days or more
between the first and second weekends I get to play with this. I
know OOP so I want to start out learning how to do the "advanced"
stuff from day one and not have to start with dragging and dropping
PNGs w/o any coding and then "relearn" how to do it in code so I
can do anything beyond having the image appear and rotate.
I *am* willing to put time into this endeavor, but only after
I have a few things spoon-fed to me by "advocates" who's job is to
get me "hooked" and willing to invest my time to go beyond Hello
World. At the same time I am download and playing with GarageGames,
TGE/TGB, Game Maker, Dark Basic, Blitz Basic, etc. and many
complete development environments that are full-featured and
completely free if I limit myself to releasing only freeware games,
or cost me less than $50 for the "professional" version with all
the bells and whistles.
I have heard rumors and rumblings about some open source
tools being available and Adobe maybe open sourcing some of their
previously pay-to-play tools, but also understand that Adobe can
probably provide a better "comprehensive" package of tools,
documentation, tutorials, and support, *if I can find the right
place to ask/start.*
And, most of all, I don't know where to start my search as I
have no personal contacts to bug about stuff like this.
So, where can I find the big red button to push and get
everything I want handed to me on a silver-platter.
[please understand I have written this with some attempt at
self-mocking humor and am not some clueless n00b]
Thank you for taking the time to read my lengthy posting. I
hope to find some helpful replies and start down an interesting
learning path.

Just saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
upfront.
BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
appreciated.
