Flashing screen almost everytime I open a flash video

This is happening sometimes after I open a video on youtube or facebook, being more frequent after the computer come back from Sleep mode.
I am using flash ver. 11.8.800.94 on Firefox ver. 22.0 on Windows 7 64-bit.
My hardware is:
- Asus P8H77-M PRO (Bios ver. 1101)
- Intel i5-3570;
- Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 (Driver ver. 12.104.0.0)
- Corsair 2x 4GB DDR3 RAM
Is there a way to solve this problem?

Have you tried a manual download of the latest driver from Radeon's website? There's a "beta driver available that touts several "performance" fixes.

Be sure to download the OEM driver to replace it just in case it doesn't help.

Everytime I open a youtube video (embbed or not) I get a black screen and my whole pc crashes. Only happens in firefox, no other browser.

Newest version of firefox, and flash. Tried clearing cache. Been having this problem for a year or more.
No mater what I do, if I open a youtube video in firefox, my pc crashes. Black screen and I have to hit the manual reset button. No error report to send, no idea why this happens. It does not do it when using chrome.
Really irritating and going to cause me to give up on using firefox if I cannot find a solution soon.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Can you check the Windows event log to see if that gives any clues about the Windows crashes if you get a BSOD?

I've been using Firefox for years. Now your load screen appears everytime I open. It's a hassle!

Every time I open Firefox to go to the internet I get a page that says thanks for becoming a tester, etc. Then you want me to download Firefox, which I've done 6 times now! Then you make Firefox Search my homepage. Then I change the homepage. Then a screen comes up saying AVG has been successfully installed. Then I use the internet and the next time I re-open Firefox I get the same bull##%% routine!
I've been using Firefox for years. What's up? It's a major hassle!

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

Why is it when i have the pop up widow blocker on almost everytime i open a window a pop up window opens?

I have gone in and set my browser to block pop up windows but 9 out of 10 times when i click on a page or go to open a link i get at least 1 if not more pop up windows everything from online games to advertisements. was wondering if i needed to add another blocker or not?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Everytime I open any app, my phone flashes back to the home screen! I have erase most everything off and still have this issue. I

Everytime I open anything on my Iphone, it exits whatever I have opened up and returns to the home screen. I have deleted most all of my apps thinking this would solve it. It hasnt solve anything and continues to do the same thing. I have also have hit the top button and home key at the same time to reset things. nothing has worked. Is there a app I can download to take care of this problem, or can I take it to my local carrier and they can fix whatever may be going on???

Try restoring your iphone.
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

Single screen for flash videos

I have a guitar tutorial on my website. I have lots of 1 minute flash videos that can be viewed. At the moment I use javascript to open a new browser to view each video...... this means that there are different screens (video players) for each video. How do I use 1 single video player to play all the flash videos? so when I click a playlist the video shows in the same player? I m not sure if this is understandable without an example. I just want 1 video player on my page and a link or playlist to play the videos in the same player.... sorry if this doesnt make sense!!!!!
thank you

I get a green screen when I am trying to view video on flash player, it happpens intermittently

my laptop keeps showing a green screen when I am trying to view video on flash player. It happpens intermittently, but once it starts I need to shut down & restart before it will work again. My laptop is less than a week old. shockwave flash is enabled and activeX filtering is off

Hi,
Open window Control Panel, open Windows Updates, select View update history in the left hand pane, then select 'To remove an update, see Installed Updates'. Let the list populate, then locate update KB3001237, right click it and select Uninstall - when this has completed, restart the notebook.
Download and reinstall the latest driver for your particular graphics chip - the drivers and software page for your notebook is Here.
Restart after this reinstallation.
When windows has reloaded, reinstall update KB3001237 via the standalone installation options on the following link.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3001237
Again, restart after the installation.

Middle click opens a separate window with flash video

I run Win7 64bit, and have just updated to FireFox 28.0
Now when I use middle (mouse wheel) click to open a link as a new tab in the background, for some reason a flash video window opens up externally to Firefox in the top left corner of my screen, which I have to close. ITS REALLY annoying.... Any ideas for a fix guys?
I can add screen shots or a screen recording if it helps and someone tells me how to attach them to this post.
Many thanks
Chris

On the Add-ons page, look in the Extensions category; Safe Mode allows Plugins to run, so the problem isn't a plugin.
Another thought: Safe Mode deactivates Firefox's use of hardware acceleration. Although I've never heard of this particular glitch, certainly odd graphical behavior can occur when Firefox is not completely compatible with your graphics card drivers. This feature can be separately disabled, so you might want to try that first if you have a lot of extensions.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This will kick in after you exit and restart Firefox.

QuickTime: Screen Recording with audio from Flash video?

I saw a short flash video on a website that I wanted to save. SO I tried using the new QuickTime's Screen Recording feature, but no matter what options I use (Line input or Internal microphone), I get no audio.
Is this because Flash won't allow it, or am I doing something wrong?

just figured this out myself today. you're on right track.
open system pref and go to SOUND - got to OUTPUT tab and choose soundflower (2ch) as your OUTPUT
open safari and open a new window - drag SWF file into that. it should play in the browser window. hit pause on the video.
open quicktime. go to NEW SCREEN RECORDING, and use the arrow to the right to open options. Choose sound INPUT as soundflower (2ch). do not raise the volume in the record window - keep it at lowest possible else you'll get an echo.
you are ready to roll.
so the browser will be outputting sound to soundflower, whilst the quicktime screenrecord gets input from soundflower. works like a charm. sounds great.
good luck.

SOLUTION: Flash Video Causing Blue Screen & Lockups

Symptoms: While playing a flash video, your screen locks up; goes black; you can hear audio in the background; and/or Blue Screen of Death. The Blue Screen indicates a fault in nv4_disp.dll.
================= SOLUTION =================
Newer versions of Nvidia Drivers are causing the problem. Disabling hardware acceleration in Flash only reduces the frequency of the lockups, but does not resolve the issue.
Use this version of the Nvidia driver (but no later): 266.58
Get it here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
This is confirmed to resolve the problem.
Later Nvidia drivers added CUDA 4.0 (Unified Virtual Addressing (UVA) and GPUDirect™ v2.0) which is the root cause of the issue with "older" cards such as the 200 series and the 8 series.
If you have a somewhat older graphics card, there really is little need to update past version 266.58.
========================
Keywords: Flash Movies youtube videos Nvidia Lockup Blue Screen Crash bluescreen bsod

Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error.

Problem viewing flash videos full screen

When I go into full screen mode, the video freezes but the audio continues. The only way to fix this is to view it in "normal" mode and to refresh the page. When I right click on the video to access the settings in order to disable the acceleration, "settings" is not clickable. Help??
Win7 64 bit
FF 3.6.15
Adobe Flash 10.2.152.32

You can try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See [[Cannot view full screen Flash videos]]

Full screen Flash video is extremely slow

I have a 2010 27" iMac with an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. Full screen Flash video (e.g., Hulu) is extremely slow and choppy on it (4-5 frames per second). Full screen Quicktime or HTML5 video is fine. On my previous iMac (2008, 24", NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS), full screen Flash video is smooth as silk. I realize my current video card is low- to mid-range, but should that really matter? I'm not sure if this is a video card issue, or something else. Here's a list of other things I've tried:
Other web browsers
Uninstalled and reinstalled the current version Flash
Uninstalled and reinstalled an older version of Flash
Installed Shockwave
Disabled hardware acceleration
Reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard
As much as Apple wants to distance itself from Flash, I would be really shocked if a modern iMac was incapable of doing what a 3-year old iMac could do effortlessly. Anyone else have any ideas, or do I just need to upgrade my video card?

in youtube one can choose various level of resolutions
like hd or sd and the hd's are in various levels of high resolutions
if performance is the issue the first place I would look would be the resolution of
the set stream

Flash videos only play in a quarter of the screen

This problem has been going on with my MacBook Pro for months... on some sites, Flash videos in fullscreen mode only take up a quarter of the screen, with the rest black. This happens on every browser, and persists regardless of the number of times I've cleared the browser cache, history, etc. Anyone have a fix?

Usually at the bottom toolbar of the video window, there is a Full Screen button. Is it missing?
1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button.
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
   The next step is important.
   Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
    Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.
3. Turn off Extensions, if any.
     Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Relaunch Safari.

Allow embedded flash video to be maximised to fill the screen

I want the user to be able to click a Full Screen button like YouTube so that the video fills the whole screen.
I think this is done by using the code allowFullScreen but I can't get this to work.
Here is my code:
<div align="center">
<embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_3&streamName=video1&autoPlay=true&a utoRewind=true&allowFullScreen=true" quality="high"   scale="scale" width="948" height="596" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</div>
Any ideas how to fix this?

Flash is dead. Nobody uses Flash video anymore; not even YouTube because mobile and tablet devices can't support it. The trend now is to use HTML5 video which is supported by all modern web devices. In addition, HTML5 video has default player and control bar which supports full screen mode (icon with 4 arrows). So no 3rd party player is required.
To give you an example, copy & paste this code into a new, blank document. SaveAs video_test.html and preview in browsers.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 with Video</title>


</head>
<style>
video {
    max-width:100%;
    display:block;
    margin:0 auto;
