Flash player malfunction

From some time flash player is no more functioning using Firefox or Chrome but its ok with IE or Ironportable (a Chrome like).
I use windows 7 professional.
Firefox 19.0
Shockwave Flash 11.6.602.168
I tried the official solutions to that issue (Issue You are having problems running video, audio, or games that use Flash Player
Solutions
Ensure that the latest version of Flash Player is installed etc.) with no result.
I tried to disable Firefox plug ins (one by one or grouped) with no success.
What can i do ?

What kind of problems are you encountering? Can you visit this page to see what version of Flash Player is reported as installed?
Flash Player Version
In addition, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ for Firefox:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash player crashes in videoseek

Hi,
I have a very difficult problem, because I cannot find the point where my osmf player crashes of video seek.
It is different from time to time. In some cases it crashes after the third seek, sometimes on the first.
The main scenario is that the rtmp video starts playing and after a few quick seeks in the timeline which call the seekTime() function the whole browser crashes. Can it be caused by to many positions behind the dot, if the number is decimal?
Here a small code preview:
private function seekTime( value:Number ):void {
    if ( mediaPlayer && !!seeking ) {
        if ( mediaPlayer.playing ) {
            pause();
        var mediaTime : TimeTrait = mediaPlayer.media ? mediaPlayer.media.getTrait( MediaTraitType.TIME ) as TimeTrait : null;
        var mediaSeek : SeekTrait = mediaPlayer.media ? mediaPlayer.media.getTrait( MediaTraitType.SEEK ) as SeekTrait : null;
        if ( mediaTime && mediaSeek ) {
            if ( mediaSeek.canSeekTo( value ) ) {
                mediaSeek.addEventListener( SeekEvent.SEEKING_CHANGE, onMediaSeekChange );
                seeking = true;
                mediaSeek.seek( value );
            } else {
                trace("seek failed");
private function onMediaSeekChange( event:SeekEvent ):void {
    seeking = event.seeking;
    if ( !event.seeking ) {
        var seekable : SeekTrait = event.target as SeekTrait;
        seekable.removeEventListener( SeekEvent.SEEKING_CHANGE, onMediaSeekChange);
        if ( mediaPlayer ) {
            play();
The videoplayer is created in this class:
private function createVideoPlayer( startTime:Number=-1, endTime:Number=-1 ):void {
    this.removeEventListener( VIDEO_CONNECTION_CLOSED, onVideoConnectionClosedByPlayRequest ); // this eventlistener is only important for play request & timeout
    if ( playerConnection ) {
        playerConnection.removeEventListener( NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onConnectionStatusChange );
        playerConnection = null;
    if ( !netLoader ) {
        var connection : NetConnectionFactory = new NetConnectionFactory( false );
        connection.addEventListener( NetConnectionFactoryEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onNetConnectionCreated, false, 0, true );
        connection.addEventListener( NetConnectionFactoryEvent.CREATION_ERROR, onNetConnectionError, false, 0, true );
        netLoader = new NetLoader( connection );
    var streamRes : StreamingURLResource;
    if ( startTime >= 0 && endTime >= 0 ) {
        streamRes = new StreamingURLResource( videoUrl, null, startTime, endTime );
    } else {
        streamRes = new StreamingURLResource( videoUrl);
    streamRes.urlIncludesFMSApplicationInstance = true;
    mediaElement = new LightweightVideoElement( streamRes, netLoader );
    var loadTrait : LoadTrait = mediaElement.getTrait( MediaTraitType.LOAD ) as LoadTrait;
    loadTrait.addEventListener( LoadEvent.LOAD_STATE_CHANGE, onMediaElementLoadChange );
    var layout : LayoutMetadata = new LayoutMetadata();
    layout.width                = uint( videoContentHolder.width );
    layout.height               = uint( videoContentHolder.height );
    layout.scaleMode            = ScaleMode.LETTERBOX;
    layout.horizontalAlign      = HorizontalAlign.CENTER;
    layout.verticalAlign        = VerticalAlign.MIDDLE;
    mediaElement.addMetadata(LayoutMetadata.LAYOUT_NAMESPACE, layout);
    if ( !mediaPlayer ) { // mediaplayer existing -> set new clip
        mediaPlayer                           = new MediaPlayer();
        mediaPlayer.currentTimeUpdateInterval = 100;
        mediaPlayer.autoRewind                = false;
        mediaPlayer.autoPlay                  = true;
        if ( !mediaContainer ) {
            mediaContainer = new MediaContainer();
            mediaContainer.graphics.beginFill( 0x000000 );
            mediaContainer.graphics.drawRect( 0, 0, videoContentHolder.width, videoContentHolder.height );
            mediaContainer.graphics.endFill();
            videoContentHolder.addChild( mediaContainer );
    // init eventlisteners only when needed
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener( MediaErrorEvent.MEDIA_ERROR, onError );
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener( MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent.MEDIA_PLAYER_STATE_CHANGE, onMediaplayerStateChange );
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener( TimeEvent.DURATION_CHANGE, onDurationChange );
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener( TimeEvent.CURRENT_TIME_CHANGE, onTimeChange );
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener( MediaPlayerCapabilityChangeEvent.CAN_BUFFER_CHANGE, onCanBufferChange );
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener( MediaPlayerCapabilityChangeEvent.CAN_SEEK_CHANGE, onCanSeekChange );
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener( TimeEvent.COMPLETE, onMediaplayerComplete );
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener( BufferEvent.BUFFERING_CHANGE, onBufferingChange );
    mediaPlayer.media = mediaElement;
    mediaContainer.addMediaElement( mediaElement );
I would be really glad if someone could help me.
Thank you,
Chris

As far as I remember when we tried to "localize" the bug for FM-1134 there seems to be a strange behaviour at NetStream itself.
Sometimes when a seek was performed the following behaviour took place. Here is an abstract from the discussion:
6) We assume the problem may lie in NetStream itself. The first time we came across the problem we used our serial element implementation inside a parallel. That implementation is used to simulate "playlist" (with prev/next ability) and does not proxy SeekTrait of underlying child. In that case the stack trace (above) was showing a loop between ParallelSeekTrait and NetStreamSeekTrait itself. During an "endless loop" the onNetStatus handler did not get NetStreamCodes.NETSTREAM_SEEK_NOTIFY message after netStream.seek in seekingChangeStart. Moreover previousTime == expectedTime clause in seekingChangeStart was always true - netStream.time (at line 104) always had the same (the one before seek attempt) time - so no ssek was performed inside the NetStream itself or, at least, it was not performed before the next "endless loop" attempt. So the easiest way to "fix" it is may be a use of delay or breaking a chain of loops with waiting of some NetStream status there.
So (may be) you are in the same kind of endless loop here but affected by the different sircumstances.
Does your browser crash instantly or hangs at first? If latter, could you pause a debugger and get the stack trace for the moment player hangs?
Our main concern was the behaviour of composite elements - and the problem is fixed for us now. However we would like to implement a buffer seek sometimes (as you have described). And there was another problem described in original bug report post that is difficult to reproduce but it is the one that appears occasionately:
During the experiments on this issue I've came across another strange video playback behavior.
When seeking a VideoElement (during the first "pass" or consequent) video display freezes as if paused but the sound continues to play.
So it somehow continues a playback without screen updates.
When the reel is over (considering the sound) video stops and rewinds to the first frame or advances to next item in composition.
May be that issue somehow goes to 10.1 cycle-saving feature (no screen updates when flash player is not visible)?
Considering the DisplayTrait of VideoElement is just a Video it may be an effect of Flash Player itself.
Not sure it should go to separate issue due to inconsistent reproduction and seeming affinity to described before.
However it appears on different computers (both PC and Macs) in our company.
It is somehow "connected" to seekeing to. So, as I've said above, may be all the problems described are the effects of Flash player malfunction itself?

Malfunction of flash player

Hi
An Error #2032 appears in some web pages when trying to reproduce a flash video.
In other cases do not appear any message, but still it doesn't work.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled flash player (11.3.300.262) in my computer (windows 7 64b) for Firefox (14.0) and for IE9, several times but it doesn't work in either.
In the Adobe post-installation page, it doesn't show any video or animation but neither an error message.
This problem had only a few days, before that it worked properly.
Help!

Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77 not playing in Mozilla Firefox 27.0.1

I am using Windows XP. I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.7 and installed it on my computer. I opened Mozilla Firefox 27.0.1 and went to youtube to watch videos. I clicked on a video to watch and received the following information:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player.
I opened Control Panel on my computer and saw that Adobe Flash Player is indeed installed. So why is Firefox not recognizing it?

I opened Firefox, clicked on "Tools", clicked "Add-ons", and noticed there is a "Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.77" listed. Is that the adobe flash player?
Yes, it is.
It is set on "never activate" - because when I have it on, I get a computer page stall from time to time, and a little window pops up saying, "Warning: Unresponsive script, A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."
See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-script for a few suggested solutions.
BTW, "script" errors are not the same as Unresponsive plug-in errors.
The former are caused by javascript, ASP script or PHP scripts (in the page code) malfunctioning or "locking up".
The latter are caused by a defective plug-in (like Flash Player).

Not able to download and install flash player

I have tried several times to download the current flash player for IE 8.
I get this error and have not been able to resolve it.
Windows Data Execution Prevention detected an add-on trying to use system memory incorrectly. This can be caused by a malfunction or a malicious add-on.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Jeff

Thanks, here is what you asked for (I hope).
First, OS is XP SP3
Second, did not use unistaller
Third, here are the addons (I hope this is what you wanted...)

Flash Player will not install - OSX 10.9.5 w/ Firefox 34.0.5

I know this question has been asked before, but since no one seems to have an answer for it I have no choice but to ask again.
I was having trouble posting scores on a gaming website. The game ran fine, and I could log in successfully, but my scores never showed on the player list. The help section of the site suggested uninstalling / reinstalling Flash Player. I was having trouble with Flash elsewhere so I thought I'd give it a try. The uninstall was successful but now Flash will not reinstall. Now instead of a malfunctioning Flash Player I have no Flash Player at all.
The install process goes as it should - the installer uploads to my desktop, I open it, I get the "Adobe Flash Player Installer" window, I double-click in the icon, I'm asked if I'm "sure I want to open it," I click "open," I enter my administrator password, then comes the problem. The next pop-up window has a black background and for about 1/2 second you can see the words "Retrieving Install" and a loading progress bar, then the words disappear and you're left looking at the blank black box. That's it.
I have Ghostery, Lightbeam, and HTTPS Everywhere add-ons on Firefox. I turned Ghostery off through this process.
Thanks in advance.

Well, good news. I solved it. And it's beyond bizarre that no one has suggested this.
Nested deep, deep, in the the help section is this:
Still having problems?
If you are still having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player, try downloading the installer directly from the following sites:
Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI
Flash Player for Opera and Chromium-based browsers - PPAPI
Apparently Adobe doesn't have a copy of its own software that works? Ridiculous but true. You actually have to download it from your browser's website.
Adobe, you all seriously need to get your act together.

Flash Player Install Error: Memory can not be "written"

Actual error (with fake addresses because I get a different address each time it fails this way) is
CAPTION: iexplore.exe - Application error
TEXT: "The instruction at "0x99999999" referenced memory at "0x99999999". The memory could not be "written".
So far I have used the uninstall_flash_player.exe and tried the reset_fp10.cmd with the MS subinacl.exe tool. I have used a registry
scrubber (RegScrubXP) and re-tried all of the above. I still can not get the flash player to load and I still get the error each time I try. I have run IE8 manage add-ons and the flash player is not listed. I am at my wit's end, I have searched everywhere and tried everything. This is a brand new computer with very little other than MS products loaded. Nothing is loaded that is not loaded on my other 3 computers that run flash player 10 just fine. I have run complete diagnostics on mt Thinkpad t500 and all checks out.
Machine: Lenovo ThinkPad model 2242CTO
Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.53 Ghz
Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP 3
Browser: Microsoft IE 8

I had the same problem as previous described. Some how I lost Flash Player. The first indication I got was when I went to Utube site and tried to view aa clip. It came back with an error saying I had java turned off or Flash Player was not installed. It gave me link to install flash player and tried to install it and failed with memory written error. The error message also said it was coming from Abode DLM. I was also at the point that a banner appeared that said an Adove system was trying to install and add on DLM. This also caused IE to hang and it took quite sometime to close the IE to get out this hang condition with a bunch of error reports being sent to MIcrosoft. After going to Sun System and testing my Java which it said was ok, I tried to install flash player. Same thing happen.again. I download Flash Player uninstall and ran it. Tried install again. Same results. I found Adobe tech note how to uninstalled DLM. I found none of the modules that it indicated should be deleted. I tried installing Acrobat Reader which I already have on the system same error. I found this forum and tried manual loading of Flash Player and that worked. Now things are working ok except that if I try to download Flash player It still fails but the error has changed a little. I hear the beep to approve the install of DLM addon but IE fails cleanly and when I close the window said had the following error. I think the problem is DLM add on related.
I am running IE V 8.0.6.001.18702

When streaming Vid with flash player, audio and video are not in sync

With Flash 11.6, audio and video are not in sync. Video is slower. Using Firefox 20.0.1

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

Adobe Flash Player 9 won't install on my Macbook Pro!!!!!!!!!!

I've had a problem with all these flashplayers on my MBP. I took it into Apple and they were able to get Flashplayer 8 (I believe) to finally work. This was quite some while ago. Well, these websites are using flashplayer 9 and I couldn't view them correctly, so I started to install it (the way the directions stated) and it gets hung up w/4 items remaining to install. It taxes my CPU from 90-100% the entire time and it just stays like that until I quit the installation.
I've downloaded the uninstaller and ran it. I re-downloaded the flashplayer and tried installing it again, same thing. Re-did it...same outcome, obviously.
This is driving me insane and now I have no flashplayer whatsoever.
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: MacBook Pro 15"
Machine Model: MacBookPro1,1
CPU Type: Intel Core Duo
Number Of Cores: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (shared): 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
SMC Version: 1.2f10
I'm running 10.4.7 as well.

Be sure you are getting the version of Flash Player from here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/public_beta/. Other versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel Macs.
The following may be helpful in learning what may and may not work properly on Intel Macs:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Flash Player disallows certain parts of games, videos, etc. to be clicked on.

My Flash Player, which is updated to date, has ran into some problems recently. Ever since I downloaded Windows 8: Consumer Preview, certain aspects of videos and games I play or watch are not responsive to my clicks. I have tried using the tab-and-enter method as well; this works with Gmail, but no other site. Many times, this prevents me from playing a video or a game. Any suggestions will be considered helpful, as I'm rather irritated that one of my most-used applications is malfunctioning.

Important: If you decide to go back to your previous operating system, you'll need to reinstall it from the recovery or installation media that came with your PC, which is typically DVD media. If you don’t have recovery media, you might be able to create it from a recovery partition on your PC using software provided by your PC manufacturer. Check the support section of your PC manufacturer’s website for more information. After you install Windows 8, you won’t be able to use the recovery partition on your PC to go back to your previous version of Windows.

Flash Player on MacBook Pro

Hello: I tried to install Flash 8 Player on MacBook Pro and it did not work. Then, I realized because maybe it's not Universal, it won't work. Does anyone know if you can install the Flash Player on MacBook Pro? Thanks in advance for your advice.

The special version of the Flash plug-in supplied with Intel-Macs can be restored by extracting a fresh copy from the installer disc. You will need to download Pacifist (www.versiontracker.com) and use it to extract a fresh copy of the Flash plug-in from the file archive on the installer DVD.
Please read the following about other possible incompatibilities:

Issues with Flash Player and online Streaming

Hi all!
I have been having this issue for a while now,
I watch some of my university lectures online!
Howvever to watch these, i have to UNISTALL flash player, or it says the video is not found and wont play,
When i unistall it, it plays fine, it seems to use a JW player in the webbroswer i guess?
Its driving me insanse, because i keep having to install flash player again after to watch Youtube for example!
this doesnt happen with any of my other mates!
Help would be great!
Thanks.
Aaron.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Flash player embedded in Windows 8:

Having the latest version of Flash Player, when using the Realplayer some thumbnail images are correct, some relate to other downloads and some have no image at all. Having contacted Real support they say this is caused by the Flash Player so I would like to known how to correct this problem and restore the correct image for the downloaded MP4 and FLV files if possible. Thanks for your assistance.

RealPlayer is almost obsolete. I stopped using it when they started charging for EVERYTHING but the basic player, which is so stripped down it's almost worthless. On top of that, RealPlayer (not the other software) causes so many other apps to malfunction, (QuickTime, Windows Media Player, Flash Player to name a few) it's more bother than it's worth.
There's a MUCH BETTER player and it:
1. is 100% free
2. doesn't cause the problems RealPlayer does
VLC Media Player will play ANYTHING RealPlayer does, and more. I've used it since 2006, when I got rid of RealPlayer.
Download it, install it and uninstall RealPlayer. You'll see a difference.

Flash Player 10 Install Failure

The current firefox installer download and installed for FIrefox seems to be malfunctioning. I initially took the support call from one of my clients but was able to duplicate it, and continue to duplicate it on my Windows 7 PC running the latest version of Firefox.
Even going out on google and trying a manual install, details listed below was unsuccessful. Upon going though the manual procedures youtube.com which I use as a Flash testing area still comes up and says I need to install Flash PLayer 10. Here are the manual instructions I found below:
Download the XPI archive of the Flash Player Plugin to your hard disk (right click on the download link then "Save link as.."). XPI archives are only ZIP files containing the files used by the plugins.
So you can safely rename the file you just downloaded, called flashplayer-win.xpi, into flashplayer-win.zip (you are changing its extension from .xpi to .zip)
Extract the files in the archive. You can use any program capable of opening .zip files (WinZip, WinRAR or the free and great 7-zip). There are also websites which can uncompress archives: wobzip.org.
Copy the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\
%APPDATA% is not a real folder. It's an alias. By inserting it in your windows explorer address bar, you'll be redirected to the real folder which holds your applications profiles and settings. The location of this folder depends on various setting that's why we need the alias and not an absolute path.
You can open this folder simply choosing "Start → Run → Type in %APPDATA% → OK".
In case you don't have a Plugins folder you can create one and place your files there.
Restart Firefox
Enjoy your flash websites!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've never had this installtion issue before with Firefox in the past, on my Windows or my MAC

This problem is now resolved, thanks to the kind assistance of Klaus Hartnegg [mailto:[email protected]]
searched my computer for *.msi and found "install_flash_player_15_active_x.msi",
Moved it to the directory with "install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi". deleted the 10, renamed 15 to 10 (to fool the QB installer),
deleted HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions from the registry.
The Quick Books Premier 2011 installed normally.
