Flash Player crashes when going into full screen mode

Hey guys! It's basically as the title implies. Whenever I am watching a video and attempt to go into full screen mode, flash player crashes and I get an error window reading "Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 has stopped working". As a matter of fact, it doesn't even happen all the time. It happens most of the time, however. It has happened even immediately after searching for and installing the newest version. What might be causing this and what can I do to resolve it? I am using Windows 7 32-bit and Firefox as my browser.
Thanks in advance friends!

this may be hardware related. try unselecting "Hardware Acceleration..."
right click a movie or flash content and uncheck the box in the first tab in Settings. quit out of the browser and try fullscreen again.

Make firefox stop going into full screen

I upgraded to Firefox 10 on my macbook pro snow leopard and now the browser keeps going into full screen mode automatically. If I toggle it off, it just goes back to full screen in a few seconds.
I have re-sized the screen and it still does it.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Flash Player 10.1 - Projector exits full screen when opening an external PDF via FSCommand

I am finding that when I am in Full Screen mode and launching a PDF via a FSCommand, the projector will exit full screen mode.
I remember this being an issue in Flash Player 9, but 10 resolved the issue. Recently, with 10.1, the issue has come back.
For the full screen, I am using the code below on the first frame.
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
fscommand("allowscale", "True");
Thanks.
- Mike

Praveen,
Im in the same boat. - Im trying to open a mac projector .app from inside another .app by using Fscommand "exec".
After reading this
http://www.morgadinho.org/2007/03/12/launching-an-app-with-fscommand-on-mac-os-x/
have created applescripts with .app extension inside Fscommand folder, but to no avail.
Have heard anything/ had any resolution yet?

Flash Player crashes when losing network connection

My flash player crashes every time i lose internet connection. That happens alot, because the networks i use keep jumping between eachother and they suck, quite frankly, but it's out of my control.
I got alot of tabs up, 24/7, all using flash player, so when it crashes, that sucks.
No, it doesn't crash because of the amount of tabs i have open, or the load on it. It happens when i have only 1 tab open too, barely using flash player ..
So, is there anything i can do about this?
This didn't happen with the older versions of adobe (I mean alot older, don't remember at which version this started happening, this/last year atleast) ..
Im running Windows 7 32 bit. But it happens on my Win XP 32-bit computers and Win 7 64-bit computer too.

So i have the same virus on all my 4 computers?
1 computer has a updated version of the latest Symantech antivirus, and 1 has an updated version of the latest AVG antivius. They should've found a virus if i had one. And i haven't visited any "suspicious" sites, downloaded anything "suspicious", and have all ads blocked .. The chance of it being a virus is equal to zero.
When the computer changes from a network (With connection and internet access) to a different network (With connection and internet access) real quick, then it usually doesn't crash.
But when it changes from a network (With connection and internet access) to a network (With connection, but hotspot, so no internet access before i enter the password and username in a new tab/window) it crashes. Same happens if i simply click "Disconnect" when im on a network.
It doesn't however do that if i go into "Work offline" mode before disconnecting, but it crashes then when i reconnect to a different network, and go back into working online.
This is an adobe problem, no virus.
Happens with both Firefox 3.6, Firefox 4, Google chrome and IE (Whichever version it was i had) ..

Since the last Firefox update, flash player crashes when I start my cam

When I start my webcam in a chat room, Adobe Flash Player crashes. If I do not start my cam, everything is fine. I have the latest versions of Firefox and Flash Player. I have windows 98
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed the most recent update

I have the same problem as well, however, I have noticed that the issues seem to be local to specific sites.
In my case, its tinychat.com, and tokbox.com. I have no problems getting into Tinychat, but when I try to cam up or even access the settings in regards to the camera dialog, adobe crashes.
So far, I can chat and cam anywhere else I please with no issues that Ive found.
Another thing i noticed, is it worked fine the first time i logged into Tinychat, but on the next subsequent visit, it was broken and remained so after.

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

Flash player crashes when I launch swf in debug mode

Not sure whether this is a bug on the player side or flash builder side, but when I export and debug the flash player crashes. This means I cant trace and debug.
Please help. Can I trace without using debug mode?

It allso didn"t work on the Adobe site. The page was the one you receive after you finish installing the upgrade.

Flash player crashes when adjusting audio volume

MacBook Pro, OS X Version 10.9.5
Safari internet browser, version 7.1
I am taking online classes via megameeting.com. When loading the classroom, flash works perfectly fine. However, as soon as I adjust the computer's audio volume (either by pressing the keyboard button or manually clicking and dragging the volume adjustment slider bar on my desktop), I immediately get a white screen with a gray "plugin failure" message.
I can run the same classroom simultaneously on the same computer utilizing google chrome, and flash does not crash on the chrome browser when I adjust the volume.
I followed the directions to perform a clean uninstall and reinstall (running Flash version 15), and I still have the same problem. My settings are set to allow internet plugins. So far, I have not detected this problem where adjusting the audio volume crashes flash on other websites. Any help?

Hi Gboyaj,
I've reported this bug 2 weeks back but it seems adobe doen't takes it seriously. Because no response bij adobe yet.
So please vote for this bug!

Flash crashes using Firefox in full screen mode

When trying to view videos full screen I get a message that Adobe has crashed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and Firefox using the current versions. This problem does not seem to appear with IE.

The problem in my case appears self imposed. I had previously changed my visual effects settings to best performance. After changing the visual effects settings back to "Let Windows choose..." all my problems with the adobe crashing in full screen mode were resolved. Thanks to jscher2000 for your input.

Flex GUIs get a bad performance in normal screen mode when switched from full screen mode

Hi, there :
I encountered an odd situation and it is only happens on IE. Our project is a Flash 3D Game using Stage3D, and the Game's GUIs are created by CS6. When our game switch from the full screen( StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE or StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN ) to normal screen ( StageDisplayState.NORMAL ), the performance of the Game GUIs decline to approximate a half FPS of full screen mode. But this condition is only happens on IE.
The Game is normal screen when it is initialized and the performance is as same as fullscreen. The performance degradation only happens after switching to normal screen mode from full screen mode.
p.s. : When the mouse is out of the view, the performance become better, from 20 fps up to 50 fps. But is still not as same as the original 60 fps.
p.s. 2 : My colleague told me the Flash Pro CS6 be used to built a single swc file per GUI, and then package all ui swc files to one swc file by Flex Framework SDK( the command is "compc" ). and the IE version = 9.0.8112.16421, the Flash Player Version = 11.6.602.155.
p.s. 3 : I have utilized Adobe Profiler Scout to observe the application, and I found that when it switches to normal screen mode from full screen mode, the time 「Waiting for GPU」 in 「Inactive」 grows up from 10ms to approximate 30ms which is triple. And in the 「Activity Sequence 」tab, it shows that the 「Waiting for GPU」 happens in the 「Copying to screen 」in 「DisplayObject List」.
Thanks

This does sound like a specific bug with IE. It would be great if you could file a bug report here (https://bugbase.adobe.com/), so we can get somebody to look into it.
btw, Flex is really not a good framework for games - it's really slow and heavyweight. If you're just wanting some lightweight UI elements, you might want to check out the Feathers framework, which is built on top of Starling: http://feathersui.com/

The itunes window on my desktop fails to display the bottom most portion of the screen unless I go into full screen mode. Why?

As a follow up to provide more detailed information.
I have a MacBook as well running 10.6.8.
When I open itunes, the window I expect to come up does. It has a scroll that allows me to view all of my playlists, as well as hit the new playlist icon at the bottom of the screen, etc.
On my Macbook Pro running 10.7.4, when I open itunes, there's no scroll bar, no icons at the bottom most portion of the screen. The only way that I can see the new playlist icon AND be able to view/scroll through all of my playlists is to enter full screen mode....very inconvenient as the window is now fixed (can't be moved out of the way) without exiting full screen mode.
I'm a multi-tasker...rearranging windows, making one application active while another moves into the background, is my typical work situation.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
Michael

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

DVD Player won't open in Full Screen Mode

I'm trying to run an unattended DVD during our opening hours and have everything set up to run automatically except for this.
I've checked all the appropriate boxes in the DVD player preferences (Open in Full Screen mode, start DVD upon player opening, etc.), but still no joy. Even if it's in full screen mode when it shuts down it will open in minimized format.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Patrick

And you set it in System Preferences>CDS & DVDs, change "When you insert a video DVD:" to Run Script..., then choose that script you just saved?
Yes.
Does it work then when you insert a DVD?
I will if I insert the DVD, but the way I have it set the computer shuts down at the end of the day and the DVD stays in the tray. When the computer starts up the next day (automatically through the Energy Saver schedule) it will begin to play, but always in the reduced size.
Is there a way to create a script that has the DVD eject when it shuts down?

Fixed window when replying in full screen mode is limiting - any fix?

If I have mail in full screen mode then click reply to an email, the message scrolls up from the bottom of my screen, ready for me to type. The problem is that it's then the only active window and sometimes I want to click on one of the windows in the background to copy some text that I wish to paste into my reply. Is there a way to prevent this? Graphically it looks beuatiful, but practically it's very limiting and only happens whenin full screen mode.

Unfortunately, that is a problem that exists in OS X when working Full Screen mode. I find full screen mode to be problematic at best and don't use it for that reason. I just enlarge the individual windows that I'm working with manually by clicking and dragging the lower left corner of the window.
Hope this helps

Strange behavior when editing in full screen mode

Very recently, Aperture has been acting very strange when I edit in full screen mode. When I make adjustments, the histogram completely disappears. When I reverse the adjustment, the histogram reappears and if I make the same adjustment again, the histogram looks normal. After a a few more adjustments, half of my screen goes black making editing impossible. Anyone else ever experience anything like this?

yup. this usually means your system's graphic card is low on buffer cache, for example, you're running 256MB of cache on graphic card. graphic cards will run on 256MB of cache but if you're going to do photography/graphic work more buffer cache is better like 512MB or if you can afford it 1.5GB of cache, then your refresh rates will speed up
