Hi, all.  Obvious flash bug?

Hi, all.  I appreciate all the help being offered here but I've observed what appears a denial that this last update has caused a large amount of headaches all around.
I'm on Win 7 Sp1 x64 and Firefox 3.6.15.  Just to test Flash I turned off all addons, themes, and extentions except the Firefox defaults. I shut down FF and used the Flash uninstaller, used Advanced System Cleaner and the os disk cleaner to flush all cashes, clean the registry, and clean the drive in general.  I rebooted my machine, stopped all extraneous background programs and services, restarted a clean FF, and went to play a video on MaxPc that hasn't been working,  The page indicated I neede Flash so I installed it and turned off hardware acceleration.
Needless to say the video played no longer than 57 secs and stopped.  Nothing I did, refresh, etc., would cause it to go further.
Flash has a bug!  No amount of denial is going to change this.  We all depend on it.  It needs to be fixed.
Please, if I've missed any steps in my experiment let me know.

Hi Paw Bear,
I know what the problem is and it's the new version of Flash Player 10.2...  Here is a link to the archive of older versions of Flash Player that worked:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  I removed the new Flash Player version from my system following the instructions to a T and the videos would start to play for only a second or two, then a black screen or even a white screen (this was on Youtube).  It was only after I searched through other threads on this Adobe Flash Forum that I found the link to the older archived versions.  Go through the steps of removing the new Flash Player again, then go to the archive link.  I selected v 10.1 and it worked like a charm.  You will have to unzip the folder and manually install all three (3) files that have the red "Flash" logo on them.  After you do this you should be good to go.  Good luck!  I know this is a very frustrating problem and I want to help as many people as I can on this forum because, let's face it, we completely depend on "video" to enjoy our computers.  I hope you will let me know if this helps and if it doesn't, I'll try to find some other info for you or maybe I can clarify my instructions.
Warmly,
fairplay08

  • Serious Flash bug?

    Hello. I am a newbie to this forum, so I am sorry if this
    message is off-topic. If it is, I would be obliged if anyone could
    direct me to the correct place.
    I am a veteran programmer but I am new to actionscript. I
    have come across some strange behavour which is driving me mad.
    Following is a part of my code :
    ...[snip]...
    private var pnt:Point = new Point();
    private var dirp:int;
    private var fastp:int;
    private var i:int;
    private var pathB:Array;
    ...[snip]...
    for (dirp=fastp; dirp<=i; dirp++) {
    // BUG!!! If I UNCOMMENT 1 of the 2 following lines, code
    gets mixed up.
    // pnt.x=pathB[dirp][0].x+pathB[dirp][2].x;
    // pnt.y=pathB[dirp][0].y+pathB[dirp][2].y;
    pnt=new
    Point(pathB[dirp][0].x+pathB[dirp][2].x,pathB[dirp][0].y+pathB[dirp][2].y);
    if (addElement(pnt, dirp, pathB[dirp][2], pathB[dirp][3]+1))
    return pathF;
    As I mention above, if I uncomment //pnt.x=... or //pnt.y=...
    or if I even replace them with something like pnt.x=pnt.x+1 ;
    then my code gets mixed up and returns wrong results.
    This is driving me nuts because these two lines shouldn't
    have any effect since right below them there is
    pnt=new Point(...);
    which supposedly "cancels" the 2 previous instructions.
    Right?
    Could anyone, please, show me the obvious that I can't see?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Bill Kotsias

    it's not necessarily a flash bug. there are situations where
    assigning your pnt's x and y properties may trigger some other code
    to execute and re-assigning those properties immediately afterwards
    does not stop the other code from executing.
    you need to isolate the minimum code needed to display the
    issue before anyone will check it. you're nowhere close to that

  • Looking for list of ie7 and flash bugs

    I'd like to stay clear of any ie7 and flash bugs that are out there, does anyone know of a list of any known bugs with flash player and ie7?
    I'm currently experiencing an issue where flash 10 and my app do not work in IE7 but they work fine in all other browsers.

    Hi, Check in Tools, manage add ons(all categories) for Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled and is the same version of Flash Player you have Installed.
    Test with each browser here and if Flash Player is Installed correctly you should see the animation and the version of Flash Player will be displayed also. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ 
    If you need further help, post back your operating system, other browsers used and versions.
    Thanks,

  • Because I can no longer open Adobe files, and have tried all obvious solutions, I've been told to defrag the Intel portion of my MacBook Pro. How do I do this?

    Because I can no longer open Adobe files, and have tried all obvious solutions, I've been told to defrag the Intel portion of my MacBook Pro. How do I do this?
    I never use the Intel side, and have never partitioned the MacBook Pro.

    I never use the Intel side,
    Not understood, Intel make the processor that runs your Mac, there is no other 'side' to your Mac.
    What Adobe application are you trying to open files with?

    I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

    I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
    Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
    Good luck.

  • I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click

    I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click, stops the other software from running, and won't shut off, ever.

    Try trashing the .plist in Home/Library/Preferences which has CharacterPalette in its name.

  • Is it flash bug? Tween Class

    I've been working on a bit big project. I've some components on the stage. There are basically 4 frames. Each frame has some components. What I've done is, I've used tween class. Workflow is something like this:
    Frame 1:
    --used Tween class to get fade effect for List component.
    --used Tween.MOTION_FINISH event to fire an event when it is finished.
    --when it is finished, applied eventListener
    --on Change event, remove eventListeners and use Tween class again to get reverse fade effect.
    --again used Tween.MOTION_FINISH event to fire an event when finished.
    --in that evenHandler, gotoAndStop(2);
    Frame 2:
    //similar
    Frame 3:
    //similar
    and so on.. now, what happens, is, if i play with my scene, sometimes tween class failed to work. sometimes it does not display List component, sometimes it displays List component with alpha 0.2. sometimes it happens with movieClip also. Is it flash bug or problem with my code?

    probably a coding problem.  the most common error that seems like a flash bug would be to define a tween within a function body allowing flash to gc that tween, possibly before it starts and/or completes.

  • New Keyboard Not Compatible With All USB Flash Drives

    Hi,
    I've noticed that the new super-thin iMac keyboards are not compatible with all USB Flash Drives. Here's an example.
    I have 2 USB Flash Drives. One is a ByteStor 2GB USB 2.0 High Speed Dataferry Flash Drive, the other is a Kingston DataTraveler 1GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Neither of these drives used to work with the previous design of iMac keyboard, giving me the "low power" warning.
    However, the ByteStor works just fine with the new super-thin iMac keyboard, but oddly enough, the Kingston DataTraveler doesn't. Does anyone know why this is? What's the difference? When buying a new USB Flash Drive, how do you know if it's compatible with the new iMac keyboard or not?

    Thanks. Yeah the Kingston DataTraveler works just fine if I plug it into one of the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the iMac. But if I plug it into the new thin Apple Keyboard, it gives the low power warning.
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Technology-1GB-DataTraveler-Flash/dp/B000AV14M2 /ref=pdbbs2/203-9795812-0230310?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187109154&sr=8-2
    Anyway, I'll try that new keyboard software update and report back.

  • Exlusion of all external flash drives/ipods/psps etc.

    Hi.
    Is there a way to make Time Machine not back up the all the flash drives / external drives that i plug in?
    I was using a usb stick, a psp and a ipod at one .. and time machine crashed because it wanted to copy them ... silly :P
    i know there is the manual way .. but that only works for ONE specific external drive only .. is there a way to tell it to back up only the stuff from the internal hd only?!
    thanks

    Yes, go into Options in TM Prefernces and add or remove drives as you wish.

  • HP Officejet 6310xi won't print - keeps blinking "reset power" and all lights flashing.

    I have an HP Officejet 6310xi that won't print.  When you select print, the paper begins to feed then suddenly stops before any printing begins and all lights on the face of the printer begin blinking and the message "RESET POWER" blinks in the screen readout of the printer.  When I turn printer off and back on, the screen indicates a used color cartridge is inserted and I hit OK, then indicates used black cartridge is inserted, then I hit OK, then it says it needs to align cartridges, I hit OK.  After trying to align cartridges, it suddenly stops and goes back to all lights flashing and screen flashing "RESET POWER".   I can hit cancel during cartridge alignment and printer goes to normal ready position.  I can then print a test page.  But as soon as I try to print anything else, even the diagnostics page, it goes back to flashing all lights and "RESET POWER".  I did a semi reset (unplug, wait, plug in holding #6) and a full reset (with #9).  That did nothing except wipe out the date on the screen read out of the printer.   So I know the full reset executed correctly but it did not solve my problem.  Please HELP! I am reposting with email me selected - I'm new at this posting to forums...
