Flash player hangs on TAB key

hi all,
I am developing an user interface. When ever i try to goto
next form item using
the TAB key, flash player hangs for while.
Any idea as to what could be the problem?
thanks in advance,
mohan

Do you have any code we could take a look at? If you are
using the test environment, make sure you go to Control -->

I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

Hello all,
Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
Greetings
Erik-Jan Vriens

Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Player hangs IE8

This is on a Vista Home Professional machine.
After upgrading to Internet Explorer 8, the browser crashes
after several minutes -- usually after several tabs are opened at
the same time.
I have disabled ALL add-ons...and through process of
elimination discovered that the Flash Player is the culprit.
I have uninstalled (using the special uninstall tool) and
reinstalled Flash Player several times. I've even looked to see if
there were old versions of Flash Software still left on the
computer. All appears clean.
The only way to close IE8 when it hangs is to either "Log
Off" or "Restart/Shut Down". I cannot close IE8 through the Task
Manager as I'm given an error message about not having access.
Other software that could affect this outcome are: SpySweeper
and McAfee Security Suite.
When Installing (and consequently uninstalling) the Flash
Player, I have Shut Down SpySweeper and disabled Virus/Firewall/Spy
Scanning in McAfee.
Finally, when I remove IE8 (and restore IE7), these problems
still appear.
I'm at my wits end and unable to get any solution.
Ideas???

I have had ZERO luck getting any Flash Problems solved here.
Good Luck.

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...

Flash player and browser shortcut keys issue

I've an issue to run the browser hot keys when the flash player is running, the player is kinda stoping the propagation of the events to the browser, is there a way for the player to bubble the events to the browser? .

Tested on : Windows 7, Chrome 15, Firefox 7.01, (Works on IE)

I am looking into this right now. Please stay tuned for more info.

Flash player hanging up and crashing on all web browsers. Problem turned out to be AMD drivers

I have been having a problem running Flash Player, green screens, hang ups, crashes etc on my machine. I tried various solutions and every major and some not so major web browsers all to no avail. I tried reinstalling my windows 8.1 no good also tried running 8 and 7 all 64 versions. No go I came a cross a post about a problem with Flash and AMD that seems to recur every nown and then. I have a AMD HD 6670 1 gig GDDR5 PCI-E 2 card so I tried going back through AMD drivers untill I was able to get it to function properly. Finally I ended up using the driver from Dec 2013 13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql along with the AMD Media Codec Package from Aug 2012 12-8_vista_win7_win8_32-64_xcode Flash is now playing with no problems. I thought I would share the solution I used in case it might help others.

Flash player hanging with hardware acceleration enabled

I'm having the following problem: The Flash player is working fine for some apparently random period of time, then it hangs when it is starting up in order to display a video. This appears to happen only when hardware acceleration is enabled. (I have not noticed any problems with hardware acceleration disabled, but I only discovered 24 hours ago that this helped.). The hang happens under all web browsers (Firefox reports that the Flash player crashed, but it is actually hung on start up, not crashed). After a hang occurs, trying to view any other Flash video also hangs, and all other programs that attempt to access the video card like Windows Media Player also hang. The only way to reset things and get video working again is to reboot the machine.
I suspect the problem is either the Flash player or the machine's graphics driver. I'm running Flash Player WIN 10,1,53,64 under Windows 7 64 on an Intel Core i5 machine with Intel GMA HD graphics, driver version 8.15.10.2025.
BTW, is there anyway to permanently disable Flash's use of hardware acceleration? (if I disable, the setting doesn't seem to want to stay)

Thanks. The computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad T510. Intel's utility reports:

Flash Player Hangs Firefox Severly

Hello,
I am using
windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
16 GB RAM
Core i7 3.4 GHz
SSD Hard disk
Flash Player 11.4
Firefox 15
The problem that I am facing is when I try to play a flash game it hangs the whole firefox and not only that GAMES SPEED is higly effected, you can't play game as it hangs continously.
Can someone tell me what's going on? how can be flash player creators so careless?
To see an example you can visit this page and click play while using firefox 15 with the mentioned flash player 11.4 it hangs
http://www.bloghuts.com/2011/03/fancypants-adventure.html
Just to mention I tested many games site for the same game and other games, the issue is with Flash Player without a doubt.

I tried the game. It took long in beginning to load the game (heavy work on the plugin process) but I could play full game without hang. You may wan to see if your hang is due to protedted mode feature.

Flash player hangs in Firefox. Eats up 50% of CPU

I'm working with flash application. It works in other browsers except for Firefox. In Firefox, after couple of minutes, the application hangs and Flash player eats up 50% of CPU. Firefox becomes unresponsive and stays like that. Neither Firefox nor Flash player crashes. Flash just hangs forever. I had to go to task manager to kill Flash player process.
This doesn't happen when I install a Debug version of Flash player or one of the older versions of Flash players. Is there a known issue with new Flash player?
I'm using:
Flash Player 11.5.502.146
Firefox 18.0.1
Windows 7 32 bit.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I suspect you're running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4. Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.

Flash Player hangs users entire Terminal server session

Hi all, Firstly many thanks for reading this.
We're running Windows Terminal Server 2008 r2 using Flash Player 11.1.102.62
Whenever one of our users hits a flash enabled site they experience heavy session lags and even sometimes cause the session to hang until the server times out the session via group policy. This is regardless of the size of the Flash content being played (full screen content or a little ad in the corner).
To give an Idea of the layout, the Terminal Server is situated locally to the clients (not at a remote location) which eliminates it being a broadband issue for the clients. The Terminal server is a fresh install with a single install of flash( Flash 11.1.102.62 64-bit)
I've read through the administration guide and created a mms.cfg file. Presently it has the following entries:
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
FullScreenDisable = 1
OverrideGPUValidation = 0 (this was previously set to 1 to see if it would increase performance but it didnt.)
I dont see any options in the guide to tweak performance as such - just security related. Are there any other references to values that can be changed to increase performance?
Any thoughts/insights would be greatly appreciated as this is causing a real headache.
Kind Regards,
Jon

Looking at the previous responses I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling
