Flash movies stop after a random amount of time,

The problem that I am having is that flash movie files (Every website) play for a moment or two and then stop with the little “loading” symbol turning endlessly in the center of the screen. Flash movies used to work with no problem but over the span of the last few months it went from not working well to not working at all. In a perhaps related problem sometimes downloads will stop after a certain length of time and also seem to “hang” at a random spot. If I pause the reload and then restart it the program or whatever will usually finish downloading. This doesn’t happen often but does happen. The flash movie thing, though, happens every time – no matter what browser I have tried. (Firefox, IE, IE with no add-ons, and Chrome anyway.)
I have tried solutions that I have found all across the internet, including the Adobe and Microsoft forums, to no avail. I have unloaded flash with the Adobe uninstaller and reloaded flash. I have tried various flash releases – with and without a firewall on. I have made sure that I am using the 32 bit version of IE and even tried running everything in “administrator mode.” I’ve upgraded every driver that I can upgrade. I’ve used a registry checker as a last resort. I even used the Dell partition to return my computer back to the condition that it was in when I bought it and that didn’t change anything either.
Everything I have tried has made zero difference. In the hopes that someone will have another idea for me to try I am putting all the stats for my computer that I can think of below.

Thank you for answering eidnolb -
Answering your questions...
Have you had a Virus and if so what Anti-Virus program removed it?
No virus that I am aware of
Since you have a Dell, McAfee came pre-installed? Did you remove it prior to Installing MSE? If so, did you use the McAfee Removal Tool or just remove it from Control Panel/Programs & Features?
My computer did come with McAfee which isn't on my computer now. I used a program called "Decrapifier" that removes unwanted preloaded software that comes with PCs.
Is McAfee still Installed?
No
Do you have any Anti-Virus/Spyware programs other than MSE?
No - I have just used MSE until now. I thought about using AVAST but was't sure what running 2 virus/spyware programs would be like.
Since MSE doesn't have a Firewall, do you use any Firewall other than Windows? If so, which?
I use Windows Firewall. I have tried both adding Youtube as an allowed program and switching the firewall off enirely with no luck.
Do you use a Router? Is it Wireless?
I do have a Lynksys router that is a little older but I've also tried hooking the modem directly to the computer.
Is Qwest wireless?
I use the wired ports and not the wireless for my connection.
Other than IE8, what browsers and versions are Installed now?
I only have IE8 now. I never reinstalled the other browsers after using the Dell partition. I prefer Firefox so having to use IE is frustrating.
I've also used "RegestryBooster" to make sure that my regestry looked okay.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer. I think you are right about me doing too much - LOL

23" Display Shuts Down After A Random Amount of Time While Gaming.

Hello,
I have a 23" Display that i've had for over 6 months. During the summer my room can get around 80 degrees.
Today (Auguest 20th) I was playing World Of Warcraft and after being on for a couple hours the monitor turned off and would not re-display when turned off then on again. However I could still navigate blindly and the sound was still functioning. Upon touching the monitor itself it was pretty hot, but it has been that hot for parts of the summer already.
So I decided to shut everything down and came back an hour later to turn the computer on and the monitor started to display again. When I started to play WoW again, after a random amount of time, the monitor shut off again and I was still able to navigate blindly etc...
My monitor is also not connected to a MaC, but a regular PC.
Is this a video card issue? Heat issue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Edit Also when I am not gaming my computer has not blacked out and I currently have been on the computer w/o gaming for about 2 hours and everthing is fine.

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
The blackout would most likely be a function of the video card. Do you have temperature monitoring for the video card? A hot GPU could result in loss of picture, as well as artifacts, and other graphic anomalies.
Might be a good idea to look at getting some additional cooling on the graphics card.
Also, stand the ACD power brick on edge- this will help the power brick to cool better.

Why Does Movie Stops After First Clip?

I created an iMovie from about 20 clips but once saved the movie stops after the first clip. How do I get it to run full length without having to insert Transitions?

BlueMovie,
It sounds like you only have the first clip selected (highlighted in blue).
Click somewhere above the timeline so that no clips are selected. Now your movie should play in its entirety.

Making a flash movie delay before starting for the first time

Flash noob here. I've currently got a little bit of
actionscript in my flash movie which makes it loop a couple times,
and then pause, before looping over again, and then pausing again,
and wash-rinse-repeat, which is fine.
But now what I also need is to add a small bit of code
(preferably on the first frame) which allows me to set a delay
time, that the movie will just appear to be paused, but it should
ONLY do this the first time. Every other time, the movie should
loop like it does normally.
The reason is because I've got about 3 movies on my page,
when one stops moving, I want a 2nd one to start, then when that
one stops, the 3nd will start, and when the third one stops, the
1irst one will start again, etc. so I have to time it just
right.

If it might help, here's the code I have so far. The movie
has 17 frames. But that shouldn't matter, I was going to just go by
the loop count, and try to even them up that way.
frame 1
function pause(){
play();
clearInterval(timer);
loopCount=0;
frame 16
if (!loopCount) {
var loopCount:Number = 0;
loopCount++;
if (loopCount < 5) {
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
this.gotoAndPlay(17);
frame 17
stop(); // 60000 = 1 minute
timer = setInterval(pause, 10000);

Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time, but audio continues.

As it says in the title, most Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time for me, but the audio continues.
Happens on Firefox, IE and Chrome

This happens mostly because of obsolate drivers.

Flash videos stop after about a second of playback ?

ANY flash videos that are played inside Internet explorer OR
firfox stop after about a second of playback, I can drag the slider
to the middle of the video and it will play for another second then
stop. Can anybody HELP. PS I also have NO sound in any FLASH stuff
since installing flash player 9. ALL other video's (WMP,MOV,RM)
play OK WITH sound

Hi ATR
Thanks for the advice and ideas.
I think that the vertical white line basically just shows where the mouse pointer last was relative to the time line, and if you move it from the editing window to the viewing window, it retains its last known position on the time line.
None the less - I implemented your suggestion.
Even if I move the clip further down the timeline, the playback stops about 1-4 secons after I hit play. Even if I move the clip 60 seconds back from the starting line, playback stops while the the playback position is running through the empy space prior to reaching the new starting time of the clip.
If I move the blue cursor that shows the current playing point to anywhere else in the clip, it plays for about 1-4 second and then freezes as before.
Clearly the playback freezes regardless of where it is in the content stream.
I have also discovered a new unexpected feature... The problem seems to be intermittent - if I open a few other clips, and play them, and return to the previous clip, it may run for some time and then freeze. After it has then frozen once, it freezes consistently after 1-4 seconds.
It is also worth noting that it freezes in quick mode too, regardless of timelines.
So there you have it - an intermittent issue.
I have bad to use iMovie in the meantime, which works without issues.
It is beginning to look like a bug in the application...
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Flash movie lagging after publishing

Hello,
I have a short animation in the beginning of my CP-projects, like an intro. When I publish the project and play it either in Flashplayer or via the htm-file, the "intro" flash movie is lagging a lot. It's like it's not fully loaded even though I've played around with the preloader in CP.
When I first created the animation in Flash it was around 3 MB which I then got down to around 250 kb, which I thought would do the trick. It might be a bit better, but it's still a problem.
So the first slide with the flash movie is lagging when starting the published project, the second slide is also lagging a bit, but after a while it gets up to speed, like it has been loaded. If I then go back to the previous slide, the intro slide it's running a lot smoother.
So how can I make sure the project will run as it should when I start it the first time?
Kind regards,
Patrik

No worries, should've figured out you meant the size Anyway, the animation is 273 kb as of now.
I tried to add an all white slide with nothing on it for 25 seconds. It works a bit better, the following slides runs a bit smoother. Still a bit of a hassle to add a slide with no real information on it. Guess I have to be creative.
Kind regards,
Patrik

Flash Movie Stops Playing on Laptop

I have a very basic flash movie in an html page. It does fine
except on my client's wireless laptop where it stops about 1/3 of
the way through. It does fine on his pc at the same time it stops
on his laptop. Any suggestions as to what the problem is.

Are both machines running the same version of Flash Player?
Using the same browser / version?
Is the laptop wireless?
Is the Flash Movie making any calls to a remote server?

Recorded FLV just stops after a random time

Hello:
I have some long (1 hour or so) flvs recorded from a small
flex app communicating with FMS 3.0.0. It is mostly audio.
When replaying them from
- a client Flash OR from (Method A)
- FMS and then have a Flash client connect to the FMS Live
stream (Method B)
The stream just stops after a while (variable: could be after
2 minutes or 20 minutes). It is very reproduceable which makes me
wonder how come others are not getting this as a google search does
not show other complaining.
I get an Unpublished and then Stop status on the Flash Player
for the stream.
Strange thing: If I play the stream direct from a player
(Method A above), then the higher the BufferTime and the longer it
takes to stop. With a buffer time of 5 seconds, it plays without
stopping.
I actually need to run it with Method B. Setting all kind of
buffers on the server produces no noticeable results.
Any idea?
I can send you my simple test codes for Flash player, FMS and
the flv if need be.
Thank you

Movie Stops after 32 minutes!

Hi, rented a movie on Apple TV but it stops after 32minutes! Apple keep loading but nothing happens..Software is up to date..pls advise
thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried restarting the Apple TV and trying again.

Purchased iTunes movies stop after 10 to 15 minutes.

Purchased iTune movies stop playing after 10 minutes and have to be restarted.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Recommended Wi-Fi settings

Wifi Diagnostic Software (for Mac users)

Sound cuts out after any given amount of time, only way to turn back on is to reboot.

For reference, I am using a fully up-to-date mid-2012 model rMBP. Attached to my MacBook via USB I also have an M-Audio KeyStation 49i, which is where I have my headphones plugged in (probably not related in any way, but just noting this).
I first encountered this issue while using Chrome and listening to music on SoundCloud with Garageband open after the last Mavericks update yesterday. I initially thought it was a Chrome bug, and in doing some research, I found that other Chrome users were having the same issue as me, but it was related to PepperFlash (a version of the standard Flash player), and disabling it in Chrome Canary fixed the issue for them.
Unfortunately, it did not fix the issue for me, but I have refrained from using Chrome since then and stuck to Safari to ensure that it's not two issues with the same outcome.
Then I stumbled across all of the Mavericks users that are having sound problems; anything from crackling/popping to not working at all. It seemed, though, that everyone that was having the sound cut out for them entirely were not only having this happen after their laptops came back from sleep mode (which is not the case for me), but were able to fix it by restarting Coreaudio[d] or -- if they had been using the headphone jack on their Macs -- they just had to plug it in again and take it back out. Neither of these worked or were applicable to my situation. Some were able to get it working again by resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, and a few others seemed to be able to bypass the issue by using Soundflower, but neither of these solutions worked for me either. The only way I can get sound to work again is to restart my computer entirely.
After doing so, I am only able to listen to audio for a certain amount of time. It seems to vary depending on how much memory the task is taking up. Like I'll be able to listen to a track or two on SoundCloud, or attempt to record into Garageband for five minutes or so. If I'm in a Garageband project that already has a lot of tracks, I'll be lucky if I can even get through a few seconds before it cuts out entirely. There are very quiet crackling/pop sounds every once and awhile, but it is hard for me to distinguish if that is just the natural state of the hardware I am using or if it is related to background system sounds.
I'm at wit's end trying to figure out what the problem is, mostly because there are so many others with similar issues and varying hardware/software setups that it's hard to track down exactly what my own situation is.
I'd like to know where I should be exporting any error logs from so that someone can take a look at this issue.
Thank you.

After doing some additional testing, I was able to get the sound working again without rebooting by:
1. Unplugging the MIDI device.
2. Resetting the audio input and output to "built-in".
3. Plugging back in the MIDI device.
4. Changing the audio input and output back to the MIDI device.
Still, though, the sound only lasts for a little while, and there doesn't seem to be anything indicating how or why it stops.
