Flash video player is crashing my computer.

Since the end of March my computer has been crashing / hard shutdown whenever I play a flash video on sites like Hulu, CBS, Youtube and so on, -if the video has HD options.
I did a fresh Win 64 install on this PC in January.
This has not happened on this PC before
I tried
- on new IE and FF
- uninstalling a reinstalling flash, and installing an older version (v10)
- uninstalling and reinstalling video card drivers to older versions
- running it with no firewall and/or no antivirus enabled (MSSE)
- a mem test
to no avail, everything ( games, adobe reative suite, MS offive) works perfectly except for flash video player.
I have
Win 64
AMD 62X2 Core 6000+ 3GHz
8 GB ram
Nvidia 460 GTX
WDC 2TB Cache 64MB

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?

Make sure you have the latest version of Flash. You can download the latest version of Flash from Adobe at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_versions
Scroll down to the "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" links and download the latest flash version. Currently (11.1.115.54).

Neither of these play back on Flash Lite, it is live streaming
flash maybe FLV called from a SWF file, I would really like to see
a flash player that played streaming SWF on my phone. If it is the
FlashLite 3.0, please put out a beta soon becuase I would really
like a solution soon. Thanks.

You can't play the FLV itself with flash player, and flash
player is not an executable
stand alone application, that's why you can't find it, it's a
browser component only.
To view FLV you need SWF which can then be run within
browser. There is no direct
playback for FLV files. Google for FLV PLAYER, there are some
3rd party players
on line.

Flash Video Player Need Help

Hello everyone I am hoping someone here can help me. I am going to school and I have an action scripting class. For my final project we have to make a flash video player with a custom skin to upload to our websites. We did something similar to this with our first project which we made a player where the movies where embedded in the file itself but this is supposed to be a youtube like flash player where we can call in the files from another source.
We kind of got pressed for time and were not able to go into detail with this project so the teacher gave us the code and I put it in exactly how it should be but im pretty sure i have something misplaced or I am missing a step. I get 8 different errors when I go to test the movie. and nothing works. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on this as I have been searching for tutorials on this with no luck.
Here is my Action Script 3.0 CODE:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.controls.List;
var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source= "fashion.flv";
addChild(vid);
vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
vid.x=100;
vid.y=300;
vid.skinAutoHide="true";
vid.width=500;
vid.height=280;
var vidList:List = new List();
vidList.x= vid.x+10;
vidList.y= 200;
vidList.width=200;
vidList.height=100;
vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
addChild(vidList);
vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
function playVid(e:Event):void{
vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Here is a screenshot of the errors I am receiving.
Please help me
thanks

I don't know if what you posted is all that is in that as file, but you need to declare a package, then call the import statements, then declare the class name. Like this:
package {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
     import fl.controls.List;
     public class Main extends Sprite {
          public function Main() {
               var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
               vid.source= "fashion.flv";
               addChild(vid);
               vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
               vid.x=100;
               vid.y=300;
               vid.skinAutoHide="true";
               vid.width=500;
               vid.height=280;
               var vidList:List = new List();
               vidList.x= vid.x+10;
               vidList.y= 200;
               vidList.width=200;
               vidList.height=100;
               vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
               addChild(vidList);
               vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
          function playVid(e:Event):void{
               vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Then click on your stage in Flash, then open the properties window, and fill the Class text field with:   Main
Make sure the as file is saved in the same folder as the flv.

Best export from FCP4.5 for conversion to Flash video player?

Hi,
I'm prepping a 5 min edit production for the best web presentation w/o excessive file size / loading time. The production has a lot of subtle detail & layered images so there a lot of opportunities for this to turn to mud (shot on low grade digital consumer video camera & also in lower light settings).
I exported in H264 at med quality & got a good looking 75 meg file. Tried uploading to YouTube, fearing the worst, and it actually created something decent from that file. I could just link that embedded file to the intended website, but I dont want that YouTube logo in the corner. I'd rather recreate what they do in Flash w/o the logo.
Does anyone have info on what YouTube does to the videos it processes into those flash video player files? Compression or resolution settings? It looks like going that route will give better results that can be universally viewed than the standard mpeg route. (file size & universal viewing on all platforms are my only reason not to post in H264).
Are these issues best solved going from a big FCP export and handled with settings in Flash? Or is there some export choice in FCP that will give best (size & res) quailty with minimal influence needed from Flash?
I've tried Compressor but havent been able to get any results from it. I just get errors that I dont understand. If thats the solution, I'll dig into that further, but would appreciate any tips / guidance.
thanks

Insert Yume ads in flash video player

Hi,
I am working on a flash video player where i want to insert
yume ads. The sdk and integration guide provided by the yume people
is not that good. Can anyone help me out on this?

I'm having same inconvenience while integrating YuMe Ads Module in my project.
YuMe's documentation is really bad & pretty confusing.
I would like any helping blog post or forums thread elaborating the solution in this regard.
Here Now I have done some manipulations with code in AS2 based player.
please have a look at it. I was trying to run it locally while connected to internet so it may load ads from the online source defined. But it does not load anything. I have also made the controls btns hidden, as i dont need them.
I dont know if I just need to upload these files on web server and test it online to get it working. Not Sure.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hyperlink to Flash Video Player

Does anyone know how to push a specific video to a Flash
video player playlist? I'm using the following Flash video
player/pplaylist application. Any help would be great!!!
Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Progressive Flash Video
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/prog_download.html

Without seeing this is a guess, but if you are linking to the
swf directly
then that is what happens. Create a new page with the movie
on it and link
to it, then it should size correctly.

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome) The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is XPpro.

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio.
Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome)
The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3.

Also, when the flash video does not show up it displays the error that I do not have the current flash player. The problem is that I do have the current flash player that actually plays flash from another section of the website.
Forgot to add that earlier.

Controlling the Dreamweaver Flash Video Player

Hi all,
I'm using the Flash video player that comes with Dreamweaver
CS3 (FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf) to play a video on one of my web
pages, and it works fine. However, I'd also like to be able to
control playback using some HTML buttons below the video. I've been
Googling for ages now looking for documentation on how to use
JavaScript to control the player, but I can't find anything. Does
anyone know where I could find it?
Thanks,
Russ

Html doesn't control flash players. The skins, controls,
buttons, etc are
referenced by the SWF file. You would have better control
over your video
player if you compiled the FLV/SWF in a Flash program instead
of DW.

No buttons in Flash video Player

Hello,
i can't see navigation buttons in my Flash video player.If I
run the swf alone there are all the buttons but in my page is onli
the video picture but not buttons.What should I do? Can somebody
help?

I am having the problem mentioned above and would really
appreciate a solution. Here's my set up...
Running a Flash CD Rom in IE, user clicks a Start.html file
to fire up the presentation in their default web browser.
I have a root file loading a bunch of movies on various
levels. The video player loads on level 4 above a bunch of other
buttons on level 3.
I disable the buttons underneath by including a big Invisible
button on the bottom layer of the video .swf and inserting a script
to disable the hand cursor. (So that users can't click buttons that
reside underneath where my video is playing.)
That all works great, the only thing is that the controls in
the skin I'm using become disabled. I'm using a premade skin in
Flash 8, the kind that pop the controls up automatically when you
roll over the video, and go away when you don't.
Everything works great when I Ctrl+Enter and test the file,
but when I run the whole thing together in IE, the video controls
never pop up.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Tracking via google analytics & Flash Video Player Component

Hi,
I'm trying to track when a user plays a video on our home
page. I'm using the standard Flash Video Player component and
Dreamweaver to hook it up. In order to get the player to call
Google analytics on play I think that I need the FLA for this
player but I can't seem to figure out how to access it. Any
suggestions?
Thanks

Flash Video Player, PHP, and XML

I'm the visual designer for a web site "Global Oneness
Project" (
http://www.globalonenessproject.org/videos.php
) that's currently "streaming" progressive download quicktime
movies. The individual video pages (where you view a video) is
currently a php template that calls a MP4 from an XML file. Our
goal is to switch the embedded quicktime videos to embedded Flash
videos that play progressive download movies.
Ideally I would like to create a single Flash Video player
(SWF) thats embedded in a single php template (video.php), but will
play different videos depending on what state of the php is being
called. Basically, I want the site to work exactly like it does now
but with Flash instead of Quicktime.
I'm assuming that this will be created with some combination
of an external "AS" file, the XML data and the PHP logic but can't
even begin to get my mind around what needs to be done.
I found a few examples of how to play multiple videos in a
single player, but all of the examples use a playlist that's
embedded in the SWF. The video player will only be used for player
control and the user will choose the movie by selecting the correct
PHP page within the HTML.
I'll be thankful for any direction you all can give or even a
Flash developer who would be able to take this project on.
Thanks,
Shawn

yes, it's possible. and there are some similarities with an xml image gallery. the main difference would be using something like an flvplayback component to display the videos as opposed to using a target movieclip to display the large image in an image gallery.

How do I stop Adobe Flash Player from crashing my computer whenever I play a flash video using Mozilla?

Whenever I try to play a flash video my PC completely crashes or freezes.

If Flash videos actually crash your entire computer, rather than causing [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] notice, try this:
Turn off hardware acceleration in your Flash Player display settings (Right-click on any Flash video, click "Settings", select the Display tab and uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration".

Flash Player keeps crashing my computer

I got an auto update of Flash Player 10.3.183.7. Right after this update when i went to a site running flash the page would freeze, and i couldn't do anything
because everything was froze. After about 30 seconds i get the blue screen it says flash player plugin container is the cause. It dose this on any page running flash. I uninstalled and reinstalled, that did not help at all. I turned the hardware accelerator to none, like i read in adobe forum, this didn't help ether.
I tried to go back to the version before this, but when i go to a site with flash, it says i need the most current version of flash player. a few times it froze i was able to open the task manager and the flash player plug-in container was maxing out the CPU, and the memory.
I have a AMD Phenom II X4 quad core 3.5 GHz, and 8GB memory, windows XP SP3, Nivida GeForce 260GTX OC HD video card. I'm using Firefox 6.0.1
This also happens when i use Internet Explorer 8.0.6 I first thought this was a browser problem i was using Firefox 3.6.18
I currently have Flash Player uninstalled. So How do I stop this from crashing my computer?

I'm also having problems with Flash Player version 10.3.183.7, in the past day or so. Also using Firefox 6.0.2, though I've since tried this with the Standalone Player, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I'm using Windows XP 32-bit. I also tried downloading archived flash player versions (9 and 10.1) and they had similar problems.
Most flash applications will cause the browser to lock up, sometimes temporarily and sometimes permanenely (having to close it through the Windows Task Manager). In the case where the browser does not permanently lock up, the flash application stops playing within the first 2-3 frames.
