Howcome my flash player freezes when my mouse stops moving

i cant watch anything with flash because my mouse pointer needs to be constantly moving. any ideas?

Do you have a super old version of Flash Player installed? I haven't seen this problem in years.
To give you any useful advice, I'm going to need to know more about your computer and browser:

Do you know what format the videos are, did you convert the videos or just copied them?
I recommend you first try just sending them over BT or through USB (through a PC)
DON'T use PC suite as this may convert the videos and that may be causing the problem.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Flash Player freezes when Bluetooth audio is turned on.

When attempting to use my bluetooth audio headset to view a
Flash video - YouTube, etc. - the video and audio freezes after a
second or two. After reassigning the audio to the machine's default
(headphone) socket, the Flash resumes playing.
This is happening on a Mac under MacOS X 10.5.x. The headset
uses built-in Mac Bluetooth and works normally otherwise (iTunes,
VoIP). The Flash Player is version 9. It installed without a hitch.
Has anybody had this happen to them? How did you fix it,
please?

I've read somewhere here that it is because you don't use an Apple AV cable to connect your iPod to your TV set. It seems that the cable colors are different !

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU)

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).
When playing video in default size it's OK (windows and Linux), but when setting video in full screen, on Linux there's troubles: video is hashed (freeze every 3 seconds).
CPU : AMD APU Athlon 5350.
OS : Linux Mint 17 (64 bits).
Browser: Firefox v31 (on Linux and Windows 7).

Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,

Flash player freeznig when loading in small XML files

Hi all,
I could really use some help in finding a reasonable solution
to this problem. I'm getting a problem where the flash player
freezes giving the "A script is causing the flash player to run
slowly" dialog box, when it's trying to load in XML files for
content. Therre are 15 files and they are all between 1-3kb. I
wrote a loop so that the next file doesn't begin loadnig until the
previous file has finished. But on some machines I still randomly
get this problem.
I've tried using the download simulator in flash and it seems
that this error always occurs on lower connection speeds, but we
are on a fast connection here and I still randomly get it freezing
I traced which files it freezes on and it's different ones every
time.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks.
Here is the code for my xml functions:
// LOAD XML CONTENT FILE

function getNodes(success) {
if (success == true) {
loadParentNode(this);
else {
trace("ERROR: XML not loaded");
// CREATE VARIABLES FROM NODES
function loadParentNode(myXMLobj) {
var obj_xml = myXMLobj;
//Determine number of parent nodes
var noOfParentNodes = obj_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
var content_xml = findXMLNode(obj_xml, "content");
if (noOfParentNodes > 0) {
for (x=0; x < noOfParentNodes; x++){
var currentNode = content_xml.childNodes[x].nodeName;
var currentValue = findXMLValue(content_xml, currentNode);
this[content_xml.childNodes[x].nodeName] = currentValue;
gotoAndPlay("xmlOK");
else {

Hi Rex,
That plugin version installed is actually the HW accelerated beta version Gala: 10.1.81.25 (The current version is 10.1.81.75). I would recommend installing the official release, since the Gala version does have some compatibility issues. You can download the latest version here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Flash Player performance slowness and mouse lag

I've been having this problem for a while. I already did the usual google searching and didn't find anything useful. Specifically its games I play on kongregate and other sites. When they are using flash player I tend to get poor performance. If it uses a mouse cursor the mouse lags/skips across the flash player window, when it leaves the flash player area the lag doesn't occur. I dont have problems when I'm in games or general responsiveness of the system, I've plenty of space, low processor utilization, low memory utilization, etc etc.
I have windows 8.1, IE11, the latest flash player, video and system drivers are all the latest and greatest. I've found articles suggesting to turn on/off hardware/software gpu acceleration in IE, it also occurs in Firefox.
ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this. Which browser (and version) are you using? My question was as much about the performance of Flash player in a 64 bit environment as it was about the video playback hardware performance. I'm sceptical of the shared video memory and throughput performance of the Intel-based 4500HD graphics package in my laptop. I'm worried that it might not be sufficient for full-screen flash video playback, or for large external displays, so I'm trying to explain the poor platback performance that I'm seeing, and hopefully show that it's not the fault of the video HW.
Which video HW do you have in your dell?
Thanks

Adobe flash player freezes constantly

hi,
my flash player has been constantly freezes whenever i start using it. Sometimes it freeze after 20 mins, sometimes an hour or so. I have tried FAQ already and tried google chrome, firefox and IE but all of them freezes when it comes to flash player.
OS Name
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
System Type
x64-based PC
Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
P.S flash player is most updated version.
Your Flash Version
16.0.0.305
Would be great if you could help me out.
Many thanks!

This is what I wrote at another post:
I too have experienced this problem and was hoping to find help here. Another person has experienced a very similar problem, but without response here: Adobe flash player freezes constantly
This all started when I updated to version 16.0.0.305. When I downgrade to version 16.0.0.296, the problem is resolved. However 16.0.0.305 is a bug fix that patches a critical zero day exploit, so I do not want to stick with it for very long.
I hope this is a known issue and Adobe will be releasing a patch for it soon.
Best Regards,
-Stefan
Perhaps it helps you. FWIW, here is the other thread: Re: Flash player crashes continuously in Firefox--tried everything

Flash Player freezes in Internet Explorer-

I received following support case from one of our clients but could not assist them. I appreciate any input and assistance to the issue below…
We have an application named “TADBEER” which depend on Adobe Flash Player and IE.
We tested the application with Internet Explorer 9 X64 and Adobe Flash Player 14 but application and Flash Player Freeze.
Would you please advise if there is a way to increase the memory available for Adobe Flash Player or to check the issue from Flash Player logs.

So after 4 grueling hours of troubleshooting and trying different fixes, we finally solved the issue. Turns out that we were testing an HD YouTube video just to make sure that Flash Player was functioning without any speakers or headphones plugged in. For some reason when there is no audio device plugged in, the YouTube video starts to play regularly and the reverts to HD. As soon as it changes to HD, it'll crash. Simple as that. So, lesson learned and some advice. Always plug in an audio device. At first when I figured this out, I felt stupid. I then realized that it shouldn't matter if speakers are plugged in or not. A YouTube video should play no matter what if Flash is installed. Anyway, this issue was resolved. Thanks for the input everyone.

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, but when I click on the free download, it says that Apple does not support this application, so I cannot use it. This stops me viewing quite a few interesting things. Any ideas?

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, and when I click for a free download it says that "it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place". Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

Flash Player crashes when losing network connection

My flash player crashes every time i lose internet connection. That happens alot, because the networks i use keep jumping between eachother and they suck, quite frankly, but it's out of my control.
I got alot of tabs up, 24/7, all using flash player, so when it crashes, that sucks.
No, it doesn't crash because of the amount of tabs i have open, or the load on it. It happens when i have only 1 tab open too, barely using flash player ..
So, is there anything i can do about this?
This didn't happen with the older versions of adobe (I mean alot older, don't remember at which version this started happening, this/last year atleast) ..
Im running Windows 7 32 bit. But it happens on my Win XP 32-bit computers and Win 7 64-bit computer too.

So i have the same virus on all my 4 computers?
1 computer has a updated version of the latest Symantech antivirus, and 1 has an updated version of the latest AVG antivius. They should've found a virus if i had one. And i haven't visited any "suspicious" sites, downloaded anything "suspicious", and have all ads blocked .. The chance of it being a virus is equal to zero.
When the computer changes from a network (With connection and internet access) to a different network (With connection and internet access) real quick, then it usually doesn't crash.
But when it changes from a network (With connection and internet access) to a network (With connection, but hotspot, so no internet access before i enter the password and username in a new tab/window) it crashes. Same happens if i simply click "Disconnect" when im on a network.
It doesn't however do that if i go into "Work offline" mode before disconnecting, but it crashes then when i reconnect to a different network, and go back into working online.
This is an adobe problem, no virus.
Happens with both Firefox 3.6, Firefox 4, Google chrome and IE (Whichever version it was i had) ..

You can only use apps downloaded from the App store, not via a browser. There is no Flash for any iOS device including the iPod.

Adobe Flash Player 10 when installed closes the whole computer as soon as it is selected to 'play' a video clip from U Tube or any other source, I have uninstalled it and the problem goes away but I cannot play the clip.any answers?

Adobe Flash Player 10, when installed, closes the whole computer when it is used to play any clip from U Tube or other source. I uninstalled it and there was no further trouble but, of course, I cannot view the clip. If I reinstall it the same problem persists. I have contacted my 'computer guru' but his comment is that many of his clients have the same problem but it appears to be a problem with Adobe however many other friends have put in the version 10 Flash Player and have no problems. I do not appear to have any other problems with the computer such as viruses etc and it is scanned very day for such items. I would appreciate any advice you can give as it is very annoying, thanks, RAB

Me too!
On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
Something broken in 10.2, I think.

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept. Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update. How can I update adobe flash?

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

# Question
I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.
