Flash Player flickering

Help, after a recent flash player update (most recent 10.2 45) I have encountered problems. I can play videos, no issues there.
The problem is any time I enter a website with pop up streams, the pop ups start flashing, flickering, jumping, jittering. It is driving me crazy !
It also does all of the above when scrolling up or down the page. It does this with either the mouse or up & down on the keyboard.
If the page has a lot of pop up videos, computer will freeze up. I have removed flash player (using adobe downloaded uninstaller) and reinstalled player many times. Have even removed latest player and installed flash player 9. It does the same !
I use IE8, Google tool bar, Vista Home Premium 64, but have had the player on the 32 bit system. Use AVG 9,O, Spybot S&D, and CC CLEANER.
Manage add ons- Java (TM) Plug in 2 S, Shockwave Flash OB , Adobe PDF LINK HEI, all enabled.
Hope this info helps you to help me because this is really aggravating. Of course it does none of these things when the flash player is removed.
Thank You

Hi, There are several things that may involved here. I'll list what might be. I am familiar with AVG and their many components. I don't know if Spybot is still an Anti-Spyware with the Tea Timer or do you know if they have added an Anti-Virus feature? More than one Anti-Virus causes conflicts. AVG has Link Scanner which is composed of 2 features and does cause issues with many users. I'm not suggesting you do anything yet, just going over what could be causing conflicts.
Does the AVG version you use have a Firewall? If not, do you use any third party Firewall other than Windows Firewall?
The pop up is partly due to Vista and IE8, we'll get to that.
In your post#1 you said Shockwave Flash Object was there and enabled. In post#3 you said it is not even there now.
Did you Uninstall/Install between the two postings?
So we have a good starting point, if you remember how to find the Flash folder, go there and post back the files now listed.
Also in manage add ons (ALL add ons) check for the Shockwave Flash Object and this time if it is there, note the version number if listed and/or Flash10e.ocx(this indicates version 10.0.45.2) I need that info also.
When you Uninstalled and Installed did you use the offline of each?
After you reply to this I will get back to you, but a little later. (Dinner/Supper:-)
Thanks,

Flash Player flickering in IE8 on pages with Flash

We're having a problem with Flash 10.1 on an Windows XP Pro 32bit machine and all pages with associated flash content flickering when you scroll the page. This has been happening with the most recent version as well as older versions.
Machine: Dell Optiplex GX620
Windows XP PRO 32bit
Explorer 8
Flash 10.1 (latest)
I have uninstalled & reinstalled Flash and all other Adobe products several times.
I have updated the video drivers
I have disabled / reenabled H/W acceleration
I have run IE8 w/ the no Add-on option and it does not flicker (obviously)
Now what's very odd is if I log the user account off and log in with admin credentials, I get NO flickering at all on any pages with flash content. However any user account that does not have admin rights on the machine has the flickering problem. We have several hundred machines in the building and this is the only one having this issue.
I also noticed that after uninstalling flash and then reinstalling it, and then trying to install Shockwave - I got an "sw.cab blocked - unknown publisher" error which I'm guessing means that Adobe is not being correctly registered on the machine when product is installed.
ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Still haven't solved this problem but I've noticed the flickering happening in IE8 as well. Every few seconds it sounds like a click-event is firing. The flickering occurs even when the project is paused. Essentially the user hear's a "click" sound and the page flashes to white and seems to reload, however it doesn't effect the timeline of the project. That being said its extremely distracting and certainly a huge bug of some sort as it is only happening in various versions of IE. We're testing on XP, but I would imagine its doing the same on other versions of the Windows OS.
Could it have something to do with the fact that there's a separate flash player for IE? What's going on here?

Adobe Flash Player Flickers when watching Fox Business Full screen

I am using Windows 7 (64 Bit) and IE 10. When I go to Fox Business I can watch fine in small screen but when I go to full screen the Adobe Flash Player icon shows up in the taskbar and the screen flickers until I hit escape and revert back to small screen.
I have tried all 7 suggestions in your help section and none help.

There exists an Add-On named "Turn off the light". Have you installed it?

Flash player flickering preview

Helllo, can someone help.
I have a simple scene set up in flash. Every time i preview the flash player the screen will flicker white (or whatever the background color is).
How do i stop that. Is it a bug?
Macbook pro retina
osx latest version

Solved the problem. If you have another scene and hit test it will load both scenes. Instead just hit test sequence.

Adobe flash player problem with IE 7 (flickering or Blinking)

Hello!
I have really anoying problem that bothers me about 2 days..so the problem is when im watching pages ex ( youtube, slo-tech..,) that includes flash. When i looking pages or whatching videos the page and texts or picture starts flickering or blinking also when i move mouse up and down or when i scroll it's horible and anoying. before i didn't have that problem and i have the latest adobe flash player.
sorry for mine bad english =) i hope u understand what i mean it
my specs are:
Intel Pentium core duo e8500 3,2ghz
4gb Patriot viper 800mhz
Windows Xp service pack 3
hope you can resolve problem =)

Hello JLavius
Looking at your Java. I am not familiar with IE7 but I know it has different features than IE6 which I still use.
Take a look at your screenshots, the 3 part and the other 2. Are there really 6 Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 ActiveX Controls installed or is this
a screenshot overlap or counted more than once ? In addition there is another ActiveX Plug in same vs 1.6.0_17 but in file npjpi160_...
Then, there is a Java(tm)Plug-in 2 SSV, a BHO (Browser Helper Object) in file jp2ssv.dll
Lastly, there is a JQSIEStartDetectorImp (Not verified) Sun Microsy..., another BHO in file jqs_plugin
I will freely admit, Java is perplexing, but I'm trying to understand why anything takes this many ActiveX Controls and Browser Helpers to run. The 2SSV has it's own BHO and same with JQSIE.
The above is just my observation. You said that you noticed this flickering and blinking (instability) a few days around the time you posted.
Can you remember installing anything new around that time? Any software or perhaps an IE or Windows Update? Something is causing this and trying to pin point it is going to be difficult. You have the most add ons I have ever seen, but you have a great system too and it
looks like it could handle anything.
It may be worth a look in Add/Remove to see what IE or Windows Updates may have been installed around that date. Any program or Anti-Virus update or change?
I would contact Sun Microsystems and ask them about the Java. Flash Player, Shockwave Flash Object and Java work together for the best experience. See what you can find out and post back. If you can't find anything out, you may need to open up a support ticket here at Adobe. Thanks JLavius, I wish I could be more help.
P.S. here is the Sun Microsystems (Sun) forums. http://forums.sun.com/index.jspa

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.

What is your operating system, version & edition?
What is your web browser?

Blinking / flickering update flash player

i'm using my windows 8 laptop when suddenly a message from flash player came and it told me to update it to the newest version...and i click yes...and for a while my laptop start to flickering and when i open my folders. it disappear... and also there are a "internet explorer not working" notification always comes out within 5 or 7 minutes even though i never use it...i've tried uninstalling it using uninstaller, unlock but it just the same...what should i do??? please help me...i'm not used to "play" with computer system so i don't know what should i do...PLEASE HELP!!!

i had the same problem too after i updated to version 12. my laptop is windows 7 64bit but it not only affected my chrome browser but all my browsers. i was unable to watch any videos online with flash content. even youtube was out i had to do a system restore and i have no plans to update to version 12 until version 13 is released lol
FWIW, YouTube has finished converting ALL of their videos to HTML5, which requires NO plug-in... at all.
If you have NO Flash Player installed on your system, your browser (as long as it's newer than IE8 or Firefox 17) can play YouTube videos.
If you're unable to view HTML5 video, your problems are way beyond Flash Player, or Chrome... which has a "proprietary" build, modified and embedded by Google, but isn't required to view YouTube.

Why do I get Flicker on screen with Linux Standalone Flash Player ?

Hello,
I have a problem with the standalone Linux Flash player. The thing is that when I have a video playing in background and over it I make some tweens, it flickers all the time and it is an annoying flicker. It happens only on Linux Flash Player (it works on Windows Flash Player). The flicker appears when I have a video on background, only when the tween is made and on the portion of the screen where the tween is made. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed and the latest version of standalone Flash Player (from 2/24/09). I've tried this on several LCD and on all it does the same. My video card has the Intel G31 Express Chipset (the drivers for the video card are the one from Ubuntu). I have generated the swf file from Flash CS3. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

4/8/2014 - Release - Flash Player 13

The next version of Flash Player is available for immediate download. In today's release we've updated Flash Player with important security updates and bug fixes.
Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-09)
New Features for Flash Player 13:
Enhanced Supplementary Character Support for TextField
Characters from the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF now work correctly in TextField controls. This change greatly enlarges the code point range we support, and now includes characters like emoticons and complex CCJK characters.
New Stage3D Texture Wrapping Modes
Developers can currently set the wrapping mode of a texture to either clamp or repeat. Using the repeat option will repeat the texture on both the U and V axis. However, in some use cases, you may only want to repeat the texture on either the u or v axis.
This is now possible with the introduction of two new parameters: REPEAT_U_CLAMP_V and CLAMP_U_REPEAT_V
Stage3D Anti-Aliasing for Texture Rendering
Anti-Aliasing is a useful for improving perceived image quality. Hardware based Multisampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) is now available on all desktop platforms. To enable MSAA, set the level from 0 to 4 using the antiAlias property of the Context3D.setRenderToTexture() method.
0 = 1 subsample, no antialiasing
1 = 2 subsamples, minimum quality antialiasing
2 = 4 subsamples, medium quality antialiasing
3 = 8 subsamples, high quality antialiasing
4 = 16 subsamples, maximum quality antialiasing
Relocated Full Screen Video Warning to Top of Screen
We've made a small tweak to the "Press Esc to exit full screen mode" warning that is displayed for full screen video. We've received feedback from developers and users that the dialog obscures content. We wanted to make a change that both satisfies security concerns and customer viewing enjoyment. To reduce the impact of the dialog on the on-screen content, we've moved the dialog to the top of the screen.
Notable Fixes and Enhancements:
3620987 : TextBlock.findPreviousAtomBoundary incorrect after TextElement.replaceText when discretionary hyphens are used
3683154 : Cannot get a get swf file to play in Chrome browser
3683745 : API documentation says Event.PASTE says bubbles == false, but it is true in Flash Player
3690516 : TextField scrolls when it shouldn't, because it's including/considering trailing non-zero "leading" value
3693856 : [windows 8.1]PrintJob start() method is still crashed
3702884 : Flash 13 Beta: ActiveX invalidation no longer functions
3703799 : New version 12.0.0.44 doesn't fully install and failure to install blocks all media playing capability
3717098 : Exclude Windows 8.x from CUPT & SCUP catalog for ActiveX installation
3058752 : The 'Press ESC to exit full screen' dialog has been moved to the top of the screen for non stage video
3617020 : Addresses an issue where Flash Player was polling GamePad before the GamePad API was invoked
3683154 : [Chrome] sciencenetlinks.com - Resolves an issue where content would not load completely in rare instances where a PPAPI getDownloadProgress event was not received
3679210 : Resolved an issue where TextBlock.findPreviousAtomBoundary would return an incorrect value if it was called after TextElement.replaceText when discretionary hyphens were used
3679537 : [OS X 10.9] Flash Player's native control panel can now be launched through the right-click context menu as expected. [Requires OS X 10.9.1 (13B40) or higher]
3680211 : Resolves an issue where Flash Player would stop rendering when embedded in a page that also contains WebGL Canvas element and was forced to fall back to software rendering.
3679556 : [Win8.1] starwars.com - Full Screen content now renders in Full-Screen mode
3685541 : [Win8.1] Flash Player now handles IVS characters and surrogate pairs correctly in TextFields.

After installing Mozilla Firefox 20.0 with Adobe Flash Player 11.6, YouTube videos won't load properly.

YouTube videos worked fine before installing Adobe Flash Player. When installed the screen flickers after one second, rewinds to the beginning, then plays normally. This doesn't occur when I use Internet Explorer. I have reinstalled both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player many times but nothing seems to work . Downgrading Adobe Flash Player didn't work either. It seems like Firefox is the problem but I'm not completely sure.

Hi All,
Thanks a lot "cor-el". I also suffered from the above issue. And after I disabled the protected mode by editing "mms.cfg" file the issue got resolved. Now flash player is working fine.

Flash Player 10.3 content issues

I'm having issues with flash videos and content being positioned in the upper left corner of the screen. And then the content flickers when you move the mouse. I've noticed there are some web sites with flash video where there is no problem, but on a lot of sites I use, I encounter this problem. I have an HP laptop with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64 bit, and Internet Explorer 9. I did not have any problems until I downloaded and installed flash player 10.3. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times to no avail. It's obvious from my observation that this a problem with the program and Adobe needs to fix it ASAP.

Hi. I have same problem.
This problem occured on following platform.
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Edition Japanese Service Pack 1
Ineternet Explorer 9 x86
Flash Player 10,3,181,14
On Flash Player 10.2.159.1 and below, this problem doesn't occur.
Following platform, this problem doesn't occur.
Windows Vista Ultimate x86 Edition Japanese Service Pack 2
Ineternet Explorer 9 x86
Flash Player 10,3,181,14
I hope it is immediately solved by this problem.

Potential Java conflict with Adobe Flash Player 10?

I applied the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 1 to my MBP 10.6.2 today and noted a problem that didn't exist before with streaming flash video. When I connect to http://www.adultswim.com and select any flash content to play, all I get is a flashing screen alternating between black and white. I see the problem in Safari, Firefox, Camino, and SWF & FLV Player. An additional symptom noted is that if I access the flash control panel while viewing the flickering screen, I lose control of the panel and cannot close it or change anything. I've been out to Adobe's site and verified that I'm running the latest Flash Player version, 10,0,32,18. I've also run Cocktail and reset permissions just in case. I've not seen this problem on YouTube or any of the content provide by Adobe on their Flash Player page yet.
One additional note, I can launch Windows 7 in Parallels and not have the problem with IE, Safari, and Firefox. Also, my wife's laptop, identical to mine BUT without the Java update does not have this problem at all.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone have suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting this issue or maybe have a potential solution?
Regards

Hey sdalek,
It's actually not all sites. I've found a few that work. I'll have a look for any difference in implementation to try to narrow down the issue.

Thanks, I'm curious to find out what's different. I've repair disk permissions again using the one in Disk Utility instead of Cocktail with not luck As far as I can tell, all my issues seem to be occurring solely on www.adultswim.com and is sill happening with Camino, Firefox, Safari, and SWF & FLV Player. I'll keep checking other sites to see if the problem manifests itself elsewhere and I'll post any other changes I make to my system that might appear to help.
