Flash player 11.0 flickers/doesn't draw whole frames

Hello,
I'm currently running Flash Player 11.0.1.152 on Arch Linux 64-bit, with nVidia driver 285.05.09. I'm coming across a lot of Flash videos where terrible flickering occurs. The frame rate is very good but it seems like some of the frames themselves are only partially drawn (you can see a screenshot here**) which makes the whole video flicker terribly. I've also seen it places like here (particularly the loading screen, but you can also see it to a lesser extent in the video on the front page). Places like Youtube and Blip.Tv work fine.
Fiddling with hardware acceleration or quality settings doesn't fix it, however simply opening the settings box has a temporary effect: the flicker disappears entirely for as long as the box is there. Upon closing the settings box, flicker immediately resumes. Scrolling the box mostly offscreen resumes flicker, too.
I primarily use Firefox 7.0.1, but there's no change when using Chromium.
After upgrading to 11.2 the video plays silky smooth, however I've found the beta is still too unstable for general use, so I can't simply use that. Is there something I can do to fix 11.0 while waiting for the beta to stabilize?
I've also included a paste dump of my GLXinfo if that will help in any way.
Thanks for your time!
**Note that if you wish to check the video itself, the flicker isn't immediately apparent from the start, however clicking the first red dot that skips to Part One will drop you straight into a flickery part.
EDIT: I found out that when my video card is forced into its highest performance setting, flickering is greatly reduced though doesn't disappear entirely.

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

You could try a third-party browser app such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon which 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

Here's the trouble: "User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Downloaded Flash Player update but still doesn't work!

Hi I have downloaded several times the new update for Flash Player and every time I go on to watch iPlayer it still asks to download the software. I have done the instructions about 6 times now and its really annoying! Its a Mac laptop - can anyone help???

Yes I downloaded it and installed it. I have also uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it and yet it still doesn't recognise it.

Firefox wants newer Flash player but my machine doesn't meet Flash 10.2 CPU speed

Just installed Firefox 3.6 and it says I need to update Flash player plug-in, but my machine doesn't meet the current Flash player 10.2 system requirements, ie for CPU speed. My CPU is 1.7 GHz. New Flash wants something like 2.4 GHz. I have 128 MB of dedicated graphics.
IE does display flash content, using Flash active X plug-in, 10.0.32.18
Otherwise like Firefox.

Update to the latest version of Flash that is compatible with your system. (probably 10.1 r102) After that ignore Mozilla's messages about needing to update Flash.
IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use (Plugin), so it's like comparing apples and oranges.

Flash Player lags Firefox but doesn't when I disable Shockwave Flash Plugin

On certain websites with Flash based web players my whole of Firefox lags like crazy. I have been trying to fix this issue for a while to no avail (Tried resetting, re-installing, etc.) It mostly happens when I move my cursor over the Flash player. After I move my cursor so somewhere else on the webpage (a non-Flash part) it start flickering between the default cursor and pointer (clicking finger icon)
Now today I decide to uninstall the Flash application from my PC and reinstall it. After I uninstalled the Flash player suddenly I have no stuttering issues on Firefox anymore! But of course some other Flash related application do not work anymore.
When I re-install the Flash player it goes back to stuttering and lagging. When I disable the Flash player plugin in about:addons the stuttering is gone.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. It has been bugging me for so long now that I have to use Chrome to visit certain websites...

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

When loaded in an internet browser, a Captivate 2 exported flash player 8(.swf) file doesn't pause when it should

I have made tutorials using Captivate 2 and exported them as
an .swf file. When played in Flash Player 8, when previewed in
Captivate 2, and when loaded in an internet explorer, it doesn't
pause at each slide like I have programmed it to do in Captivate 2.
I have put buttons in each slide and make them pause the slide
until the viewer clicks on it an tells it to move on. It randomly
doesn't pause and continues on to the next slide. It sometimes
works and sometimes doesn't work. It's not consistently one slide
and not another. It is random. Does anyone have a clue what is
wrong?

Thank you for pointing out that I need to download the projector. How do I ensure that every time I double click on a swf file, it does not launch Adobe Flash Professional, but instead, it launches Flash Player ver 14. Do I have to place the Flash Player Projector in the library or applications, where exactly should it be placed.
Next, when I launched Flash Player ver 14, to open the swf file, I clicked on a button that is linked to a website - I get a message:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation,... To let this application communicate with the Internet, click on settings" I clicked on settings and get the attached panel, which does not make sense to me. And I cannot launch a website by clicking on the button contained in the swf file. Please advise.
I am using a Mac Book Pro, OSX 10.9.3

Adobe Flash Player installed, but content doesn't work

Adobe Flash Player works after I install it, but then
evenually it stops working. I have tried lots of support methods,
including downloading Microsoft's tool to fix permission errors. I
am using
Windows Vista Home Premium and the latest version of
Adobe Flash Player.
I noticed somewhere that there was an old thread like this
with someone having the same problem. I saw that someone who
replied showed a screenshot of what the permissions for
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT should look like. Interestingly, they
don't appear to match.
Here is the screenshot:

Please help me fix this problem. Without
Adobe Flash Player, I can't do numerous things, such as
watch videos on
YouTube.

I have solved the problem, thanks to this post:

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

Flash player version 11.7 doesn't breaks FLV playback

Hello,
Since the last 11.7 update, with chrome and ff on win 7, the FLV vidéo in a AS2 player don't work. I tested on many computers.
http://asp-gb.secure-zone.net/v2/index.jsp?id=1879/2428/6978&lng=en&startPage=7
Click on the picture with the play button. Video will show up playing but with no sound, and after 7.2 sec it stops alone, play pause won't make it start, only the seek can un-break it.
So 2 PB :
-no sound
-stop after few seconds
I'm a flash dev. I looked for error, nothing in the flashlog.txt. When i trace the time property on an enterframe, it shows the progress until the time freezes.
When installing flash player 11.6 or an older version, everything works so it's definitly this version's fault.
We have tons of hosted videos online and our customers begin harrasing us with this problem, please provide a solution (new release maybe I can dream)
Please at least run some test and acknoledge the problem so we can communicate to our client.
best regards

Hi,
No news since I created the bug, it is still unverified. I worked all monday to try some workaround without success.
We decided that we can't do anything for the moment so we completely rely on Adobe for the continuity of our service.
The worse is that the same video player class, executed in another context in the same webapp manage to keep the netstream going. It seems that some conditions trigger the playback problems.
