  • Memory leak found in flash player active-x 'CallFunction' method.

    Hello,
    I think I found a memory leak that results from  calling the flash player active-X object's method 'CallFunction'. Each time this  method is called it seems that memory is not properly freed.
    I'm attaching here a  simple program I've made with C# that uses the shockwave flash object to load a  SWF and continuously perform calls to it using the 'CallFunction'. It also  displays the process memory so you can see how it's being increased after some  time running.
    In the zip file, under the bin/release directory, you'll find the  compiled executable and both the test SWF (CallFunctionTest.swf) and its source (AS3 file) which is  just a dummy Sprite that exposes a callable method using the ExternalInterface.  The SWF has been compiled using Flex compiler (Version 3.3.0 build 4852).
    The  leak may become more visible after some hours running. Also, it's interesting to  note that even by reloading the SWF without closing the application (by stopping  and restarting the stress in my test application) the memory is not freed.
    As a reference, in my  computer (Intel Dual core E2180 @ 2Ghz) the test application's virtual memory  (VM64) increased from 192MB to 480MB in 4 hours. In Windows XP 32-bit when this value reaches 2GB the process runs out of memory and the application crashes.
    Does anyone experienced the same problem?
    I have Flash Player version 10,0,32,18 installed.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I found this problem recently.
    I embedded Flash in my Visual C++ project through ActiveX, and intensively call
    ShockwaveFlashObjects::IShockwaveFlash::CallFunction().
    It seems that every time I invoke this function, the memory usage of my program increase about 8kB, and never goes back again. I think this is caused by the internal memory leak in Flash.
    Does adobe have any plan to fix this issue?

  • On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

    I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
    This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

  • The video downloading is extremely slow after downloading Flash Player Active X (IE) and FP Plug-in

    I have Windows 7 on a 64-bit operating system, and have Firefox 19 and Internet Explorer 8. I tried installing Flash Player 11.6.602.171 from the Adobe Website and got an error message right at 47% download "can not contact reliable source." I also tried uninstalling whatever Flash Player I had, but I continued to get the same error message at 47% "can not contact reliable source." Finally, following the advice found in the link below under "Program Bar Hangs During Download," I downloaded Flash Player ActiveX (internet explorer) and Flash Player Plug-In (all other browsers). It appeared that both downloads were successful and I verified that the installation was complete in the link below under "Verify that installation is complete." It says I have Flash Player 11.6.602.171. My issue now is that whenever I watch videos that use Flash Player, the downloading of videos is extremely slow.  For example, a 45 second youtube video might take 30 minutes to watch. I have tried everything (from General Info, Download Issues, Installation Issues, Post-Installation Issues) in this Adobe installation problem page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html but the problem has not improved. Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    First, I went on this link under Progress Bar Hangs During Download
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
    and then I downloaded Flash Player directly by clicking the links provided Flash Player for ActiveX (IE) and then Flash Player Plug-In (All browsers).  After my installations were complete, I tried watching any youtube videos or videos on www.ABC.com and the loading of videos was extremely slow.

  • Flash player causes real problems on Youtube

    Flash player causes real problems on Youtube site.
    I don't really know if it's a Flash Player problem or a Youtube one but Youtube used to work fine back in like 3-4 months ago, now it doesn't anymore.
    The issues I encounter with Flash player on Youtube are as follows:
    First issue is the fact that after the video completely loads or it loads a big part of it then I click on the seek bar to jump at a specific time that has been already downloaded by the Flash player the video starts loading again from that point on like it didn't actually downloaded that part before. This issue causes big bandwith use since it downloads many many times the same portions of the clip that it has already loaded before dozens of time. If I play a 3 min music clip and click replay or point on the seek bar at the begining of the clip to play it again it loads/downloads the clip again and again and again. If the video clip has over 1 hour then I click play it might entirely load into the player in a few minutes then I click on the seek bar to skip at a certain point it starts loading again from that point on. This is the most anoying thing I encounter with Youtube lately.
    Second issue is the fact that if I click on the seek bar of the player to skip to a specific time most of the time the playback does not start from that point on but it skips back to the last point where it was so I must click several times or keep the mouse button pressed for a long time on the same point in order to play from that place on. This one is again very anoying.
    Third issue is that after the video starts playing in 360p it automatically changes to 720p after a minute or so even if I had checked this setting "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" in Youtube Playback Settings. I cleared the cookies and chosed several times the same "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" setting in Youtube Playback Settings but it just doesn't keep the settings on. This one is again very anoying since my computer can't handle well 720p.
    I have reinstalled Win XP SP3 and even installed Win 7 SP1 tried several versions of Flash Player and several versions of Firefox, Chrome and Opera but the same issues occur everytime.
    I haven't encounter any of these issues before like 3-4 months ago.

    I have had problems trying to watch videos on youtube for the past couple of years. It's been almost unbearable, even if I set the resolution to 144kb! Then a few days ago, I went to youtube and couldn't watch at all. There was an error showing that my Flashplayer was out of date, and then a link to Firefox to get the right update. I did that two times to no avail. I had just installed the newest version of Flash Player as of November 2014, yet this error kept popping up. Finally, out of utter frustration, I did like you did, and uninstalled everything related to Adobe Flash. Then I went to youtube, just to see how bad the result would be, and suddenly videos started playing smoother, at higher resolution, and with faster buffering to start out.  Sure, there are some videos that I can't play, and the newest iTunes seemed to have issues without having Flash, but videos aren't frustrating me like they had been on youtube.
    So, yeah, I know what you're saying. I had the same solution work for me. Cheers.

  • Flash player and IE6 problem

    I have a problem that occurs with IE6 when a user clicks on a
    button within a flash player (Flash player file being generated by
    Captivate 1.0).
    The user is asked to click on some button on the .swf file
    begin displayed in the player.
    Should only be one click (standard left click of the mouse
    button) on the button.
    Our users are having to click twice, but only if the button
    is in the first frame.
    Also I have noticed that the movie jumps up a couple of
    pixels when the user first clicks the play button when using the
    embeded Captivate player control.
    WHY??? anybody have any suggestions of how to correct
    this???

  • Flash Player Auto-update problems

    Hi,
    In our environment we have Win 7 64bit Pro PCs, IE10 and users are NOT administrators.  We install Flask Player 11.8.x using the MSI silent switches, with the autoupdate service disabled, the scheduled task for auto-update deleted and the MMS.CFG file configured to AutoUpdateDisable=1.
    My current problem is that some users have now been prompted to upgrade their Flash player.  This occurs during logon with task manager showing "FlashUtil32_11_8_800_168_ActiveX.exe /update activex" as an active process.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing the autoupdate?  IS it possibly casued by Internet Explorer initiating the ocx? Any ideas welcome.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Andy

    I should have also mentioned that if a user clicks [Install]
    and follows the instructions, after being taken to the Flash
    download page and trying to install, our own Flash detection code
    no longer works. This means our users are prevented from launching
    our app.

  • Flash Player upgrade installation problem - Windows 7 x64 & Firefox

    Hello
    It is impossible to upgrade the Flash Player to version 11.7.700.224 or 11.7.700.169
    The antivirus DrWeb detects the installer as a virus (Trojan Downloader) and blocks the download process, but even disabling the antivirus and stopping its services (rebooting included) another problem appear:
    The OS Windows 7 x64 rejects the installation saying that there is a program or component required that is not present.
    The present version of Flash Player that I have installed is 11.4.r402.265, with this version is not problem for install, uninstall or configure, but Firefox claims that the version needs to be upgraded.
    Also a new and strange and  disturbing function has appeared.
    In the address bar of Firefox at the left has appeared an Adobe icon the request if I want or not to activate Flash for each web page that contain flash elements.
    For example: In YouTube each time I open the page is nescessary to reactivate Flash for to allow the video function, if not the video screens reamain in blank.
    Many pages that have active contents force to reactivate Flash a lot of times.
    For example: The free web storage servers (rapidshare, hotfile, etc) have routines of showing publicity during the login and startup of the upload/download process.
    Each time that I need to reactivate Flash the whole page is reset and makes incredibly slow the use of the cloud storage services.

    Hello
    Google Chrome has it own Flash Player built in.
    So you cannot uninstall it seperatly, only deactivate it.
    And it is not Flash Player v11.2.x at this time.

  • Safari 4.0.3 + Flash Player Hang SBBOD Problem.

    Hi, I feel like this is a bit redundant, but I've been skimming through the forums trying to figure out the answer to my problem.
    My Safari was updated to 4.0.3 recently (earlier today, I believe), and now when I try to visit any site with flash-based content (youtube, certain news sites, etc.), Safari starts to hang and I have to do a "force quit". I followed instructions and was able to figure out that the Flash player plug-in caused the hanging/crashing problem.
    As far as I know, I have the latest updated plug-ins. Also, I don't have any other plug-ins installed besides the default ones (my MBP is fairly new, I got it around 2 weeks ago. This is very annoying, considering that Safari was working just fine 8 hours ago (since I was still able to view flash-based websites without the hang problem).
    Right now I've disabled plug-ins to avoid the hang, but it's really a nuisance and I can't figure out why the problem is happening. My best guess is that it has to do with my updating Safari from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3, but I'm no tech guru.
    I'd really appreciate the help! I'm posting my latest crash report in the post below!

    edit: I decided to reboot my machine just in case and now Safari is working just fine. If it hangs again I'll edit this post...

  • I too have ADOBE flash player 11 install problems.

    Hi folks.
    Yes, I have seen the other posts.
    I can't get it installed.
    I have a version but not the latest.
    Sorry I don't know the version I have installed, but it would be about 7 or 8.
    I've read other people's posts who have had their problem/s resolved.
    Alas they don't help me.
    Originally I didn't know I had to exit FF, so I tried again.
    Downloaded the program, exited FF, and ran it.
    When I run the .exe file I get this:
    Initialisation encountered errors.
    Failed to initialise.
    And that's that.
    File gone, and it doesn't install.
    Anyone?
    I hope I am not making a fool of myself, but there again, it may be of benefit if I am for the sake/help of others.

    You can also try this Adobe link: https://www.adobe.com/go/getflash
    If the OS (XP) and browser (Firefox) is not detected correctly, click '''Do you have a different operating system or browser?''', choose '''Windows (32-bit)'''*** in Step 1, wait a few seconds and choose '''Flash Player 11 for Other Browsers (32 bit)''' in Step 2. Exit Firefox ('''File''' > '''Exit''' or '''Firefox''' button > '''Exit''') and try to install the downloaded file.

  • Client Flash Player, older version problem!

    Hi folks
    I made a project with Flash Builder 4 with default SDK... It can be run in Flash Player version 10.0.45.2
    But there is a problem: If client Flash Player is older than it (like 10.0.2 or 9 or less), there is no message and just client can see a solid page and nothing more.
    How can I fix that? How can I give the client a message to download a last version of Flash Player? or how can I check if the client FP is older, download the last version automatically?
