Flash MX freezing

Hi does anyone know how to stop flash mx from freezing when i
try to import a sound file to finish a movie for school or snap a
toolbar onto the side of the screen. Thanks for any advice you
have.

Hi, I would never go anywhere other than an Adobe site for Flash Player or any other Adobe product for one thing. Just as I wouldn't go anywhere for a Windows update other than Microsoft.
Second I would not expect a beta to perform as an RC either. I let the Developers work out the issues that come with all
betas.
From what you posted, it sounds like you installed the beta again. Why didn't you just install the latest Flash Player version 10.0.45.2?
I wouldn't be troubleshooting a beta either, that is for others to do. All most users want is the Flash Player to work. I don't see any need for a "patch" for FP vs 10.0.45.2 and certainly wouldn't expect Adobe to "patch" the beta!! The Adobe Flash Player works just fine.
As far as you saying the other vs 10 beta worked just fine makes no sense any more than your grumbling does. Sorry, but
I get weary of people ranting against Adobe and Microsoft when many of their problems are their own systems.
That's my opinion, thot I'd share it, since you shared yours.

Flash Player Freezing on PC

Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with their
Flash Player freezing up since the upgrade? Anytime I try to go to
an online video, music video or show it bounces back and forth
between buffering and restarting the video even though it hasn't
played all of the way. I did not have this problem until I upgraded
to the current version for my PC. Any suggestions or patches that
anyone knows about? I have tried uninstalling, running the
uninstaller and reinstalling and nothing seems to help. Thanks in
advance!

What is your operating system and version?
What is your Firefox version?
What is your Flash Player version?

Updating Web CS6, Flash update freezes

Updating Web CS6, Flash update freezes, what is the problem?

In FB 4.5, if you go to the Data Services view, and then right click on the data service (WSDL) you connected to, there is an option there to refresh the WSDL. It works very well for me.

Flash videos freeze

Some flash videos freeze for ½ second every 10-12 seconds. This started a few weeks ago, maybe after FF update. There are many posts on this subject in various forums, the best I found is this locked thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/sv/questions/782366
I use Flash 11.9.900.117 and Firefox 25.
Things that did NOT help:
* disabling hardware acceleration (restarted FF)
* restarting FF without plugins
* reverting to Flash 11.7
* disabling plugin container (setting environmental variable to 1)
I don't have this problem in IE. I haven't updated IE in a while so it uses Flash 11.5. A fix for watching flash videos in FF for me is using IEtab.
There is no problem with e g youtube, just some on-demand video sites.

My problem with FF 25 and Flash 11.9 would rear it's head while listening to NPR news on their player. Frequent freezing and inability to get it going again. What worked for me was to uninstall Flash[I went to Adobe.com and got their uninstall Flash app, rather than rely on Windows uninstall]. While at Adobe, search for Flash 11.7 and download. From what I've read elsewhere, 11.7 includes the latest security patches. Be sure to uncheck the McAfee download, and check to be notified of updates, rather than have them happen automatically.

Shockwave Flash and freeze errors in Forms Central

Everyone on my team is having issues opening Forms Central - Shockwave Flash and freeze errors. Is this an error with everyone? Its affecting 26 people.

Nicole,
I am sorry to hear you are having problems logging in. I just tested this function on Safari and Chrome and had no problem. Can you tell me about the systems that are experincing the problem. What OS? What Broswer? What version of Flash is installed? Are the systems individually managed or managed by a central IT group?

Firefox 21 causing flash to freeze every 10 seconds

Two days ago, I updated Firefox to version 21. Now, YouTube and all Flash videos freeze after 12 seconds of play. If i move the video frame one second, it plays for another 12 seconds and freezes again at second 24 frame and so on freezing every 12 seconds. I have updated Flash, but this didn't change anything. Also, no sound on videos. This only started right after i updated to Firefox 21. Now , I can't figure out how to go back to Firefox 20 and I can't watch videos.

Try to uninstall and reinstall Flash
*http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

My Mac glitches after startup with screen flashing and freezing up.

Why does my Mac begin to flash then freeze after start up?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Any change?
Have you blown the dust out lately?

Flash CS3 freeze when saving

I bought the CS3 suite a few years back and since day 1, Flash will freeze every time I save on a file larger than a couple hundred frames. I asked around on other forums when I first started having the problem, found no working solution and resigned to it just being one of those things that I need to just deal with. But now, I'm doing an animation project for school that needs to be of a decent length, so it's important that I figure this out soon. The lag gets larger as the file size increases. My animation is only thirteen seconds long and already it takes half a minute to save the tiniest edits. I fear that it will just start crashing aftern a certain point. What I find peculiar, though, is that the freeze doesn't happen on Photoshop, Fireworks, or any of the other programs that came with the suite. Just Flash. Any suggestions?
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
RAM: 4gb
64 X2 Duel core processor
The computer is from 2007 (Though CS3 is from about that time and it lagged back then, so I don't imagine that's the problem)
I already tried:
Running Flash without any other programs running
Reinstalling
Adding RAM
Saving extremely frequently

I haven't been clicking things fast. It happens when I try to save. It's not random. I've spent a decent amount of time on google and haven't found a solution. There are a lot of results about freezing and crashing, but I haven't found any on freezing due to saving.
I know it should be fine, but that's what's weird about it. It shouldn't be freezing like this and it's at a point where it's not something I can ignore.

Adobe flash player freezes constantly

hi,
my flash player has been constantly freezes whenever i start using it. Sometimes it freeze after 20 mins, sometimes an hour or so. I have tried FAQ already and tried google chrome, firefox and IE but all of them freezes when it comes to flash player.
OS Name
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
System Type
x64-based PC
Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
P.S flash player is most updated version.
Your Flash Version
16.0.0.305
Would be great if you could help me out.
Many thanks!

This is what I wrote at another post:
I too have experienced this problem and was hoping to find help here. Another person has experienced a very similar problem, but without response here: Adobe flash player freezes constantly
This all started when I updated to version 16.0.0.305. When I downgrade to version 16.0.0.296, the problem is resolved. However 16.0.0.305 is a bug fix that patches a critical zero day exploit, so I do not want to stick with it for very long.
I hope this is a known issue and Adobe will be releasing a patch for it soon.
Best Regards,

Flash Player freezes in Internet Explorer-

I received following support case from one of our clients but could not assist them. I appreciate any input and assistance to the issue below…
We have an application named “TADBEER” which depend on Adobe Flash Player and IE.
We tested the application with Internet Explorer 9 X64 and Adobe Flash Player 14 but application and Flash Player Freeze.
Would you please advise if there is a way to increase the memory available for Adobe Flash Player or to check the issue from Flash Player logs.

So after 4 grueling hours of troubleshooting and trying different fixes, we finally solved the issue. Turns out that we were testing an HD YouTube video just to make sure that Flash Player was functioning without any speakers or headphones plugged in. For some reason when there is no audio device plugged in, the YouTube video starts to play regularly and the reverts to HD. As soon as it changes to HD, it'll crash. Simple as that. So, lesson learned and some advice. Always plug in an audio device. At first when I figured this out, I felt stupid. I then realized that it shouldn't matter if speakers are plugged in or not. A YouTube video should play no matter what if Flash is installed. Anyway, this issue was resolved. Thanks for the input everyone.

Flash Player freezes after a few seconds of playing

Adobe Flash Player freezes after playing for a few seconds.
It does this in both Mozilla Firefox and in Google Chrome.
It does this regardless of how much of the file has been buffered
(it's not just pausing and waiting for buffer)
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed.
I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox installed.
I have the latest version of Google Chrome installed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player.
I've tried disabling hardware accelleration.
I've tried increasing the buffer size.
I've tried setting the buffer to 0
I've tried clearing the appdata cache

fourstrings411,
Could you give our 11.4 beta release a try to see if that resolves the playback problem? If it does not, please see this FAQ for other possible solutions. In particular, look towards the bottom for instructions on rolling back versions or disabling protected mode.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU)

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).
When playing video in default size it's OK (windows and Linux), but when setting video in full screen, on Linux there's troubles: video is hashed (freeze every 3 seconds).
CPU : AMD APU Athlon 5350.
OS : Linux Mint 17 (64 bits).

Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash Player Freezes While Buffering Then Won't Proceed Even After Computer Restart

I am having frequent problems with Flash Player freezing while watching Korean dramas hosted online (http://www.mysoju.com/empress-chun-chu/). Flash Player freezes while viewing file and then won't proceed past that point even if I close all browser windows and even if I restart my computer. Sometimes I can get around this by saving the file to my hard drive using Real Player "download this video" button. However, the download often freezes at what appears to be the same point as the freeze in the streaming Flash Player. Even if I delete this partial file from my hard drive, repeated efforts to download the file again result in instantaneous file completed messages with a new incomplete (partial) file of exactly the same size as before. I can't find where Flash Player or MS Windows Vista is storing the partial download files. Any help would be greatly aprreciated.
It appears these Flash Player freezes may be causing or resulting from DSL modem or wireless router connection problems that result in the internet light on the DSL modem not being lit. These problems seem limited to web browser pages with flash player.

Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Now my Adobe Flash plugin freezes and hangs every website when it is enabled even though it is the newest version.

Today Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Immediately after update, I couldn't load most websites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the newest version of the plugin, I am still having problems. Any suggestions?

can you try this suggestion [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing%20the%20Flash%20plugin#w_playing-flash-videos-makes-firefox-hang] and/or [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?]]

Flash Player freezing my Mac pro 2009

Hi all, has anyone been experiencing a complete freeze of their Mac pros after using Safari or FireFox for a few days?
I have a early 2009 Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz Quad Core which Im running Maverick 10.9.4 and the latest Flash Player update but still after a few days using safari and Firefox
my Mac freezes completely and I have to do hard reboot. According to Adobe the last Flash update was to solve this problem with earlier Macs.
Has anyone else been experiencing similar problems?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
