Viewing Flash movies w/ v.9 player crashes

Has anyone had any problem viewing flash movies on a Mac with
the newest v.9 player? All our Mac's with the v.9 flash player take
an extra 11-12 seconds to show up and have a tendency to crash our
browsers. But viewing the exact same movie on the exact same
computer with the v.8 player they work just fine. I've tried it on
all our Mac's running different OS... both Power PC and Intell...
different browsers and I am getting the same result. Flash 9 takes
longer to load in and crashes the browser but 8 works just fine.
However on a PC it works just fine with the v.9 player. I use
Influxis and talked to them today...they can't seem to figure it
out and are having their mac guy look into it for me. Thought I'd
see if anyone else has had this problem. On a side note I like to
listen to BBC Radio 1 and that site crashes on me all the time. But
never happened before I installed the v.9 player. Did a little
digging and found other people having the same problem. They say it
has something to do with the banner ad's/video's being export to
Flash 9.
If anyone has any ideas...please help me out. Below are a
couple of links. The second one is a test Influxis set up as a test
while I was on the phone with them. It uses a simple NetConnection
with no player component. Both work great on all out Mac's with the
v.8 player but not with the v.9.

Here's an experiment I want you to try.
Go to: [User]/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (hold the "Option" key when clicking "Go" from the Finder menu to access your [User] Library)
Copy the "default" profile folder from there to ANYWHERE other than the Firefox folder (a Flash Drive preferably, so you can remove it)
Trash the "default" profile folder and empty the trash.
Relaunch Firefox.
Go to YouTube and play ANY video there.
If prompted to install Flash Player again do so.
Let us know if that changes anything.

When Trying to View an .mov File, PSE 8.0 Crashes... Help

When Trying to View an .mov File, PSE 8.0 Crashes... Help I was able to view these .mov files without any problem on ACDSee 2.5, any help will be appreciated to determine why .mov files crashe in the PSE 8.0 viewer....
Best Regards,
Larry

Thanks for the reply Larry. This is frustrating, and Adobe support is useless. It all works on my vista 64 bit system, but not on the 32 bit system. The odd thing is that I can open .mov files in Editor by going to File-Import from video, select "all file types" and choose a quicktime movie and it will open and run just fine. I can take stills off the movie. But if I try to open the same movie file with File-Open...I get an error message "Cannot open file......wrong file type" In organizer everything just crashes. I suspect there are some security issues in Vista that won't allow PSE to access Quicktime.
Too bad Windows 7 didn't fix the problem. I was starting to head that way. I will let you know if I find a solution.

HT204387 How do I view flash movies

I have a daily site that has flash movies. How do I get the movies to play?

The Flash browser add on is not available for iOS (never has been) and in fact Adobe has ceases support and development for flash for all mobile platforms:
You might check to see if the site in question has an app in the app store.
There are also some alternate browser apps that restream Flash content from a conversion server (Puffin, iSwifter are two. There are more, but I don't use on myself).
A combination of apps such as iCab Mobile adn MoliPlayer may allow you to downdown laod the file, but it only works if the file is flv and even then depends on how it is embedded.

How can I use DIVX or another player to view Flash movies instead of using an Adobe product?

My understanding is that is can be done on windows (w7/64bit). Main goals are for embedded videos on sites such as FB, Youtube and Vimeo.
I was basically ok with Flash, but I like the idea of open-standards products better.
FireFox has disabled the Flash player. Why? It's listed as vulnerable which means there is definitely an exploit but what?

I'd like another player because I've had it with Adobe. I've spent hours and hours trying to get Shockwave & Flash to work after recent updates in those programs. I tested them out in Google Chrome, and still problems although fewer than in FF.
What is going on with these products? Everytime I run an update of FF or Shockwave/Flash, everything gets screwed up!!

Problem Viewing Flash Movies in Windows 8.1 Internet Explorer 11

I am running a fully patched/updated copy of Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer version 11 (on the desktop)
If I try and run the test movie at
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8html I get the following message:
Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON.
Please follow trouble shooting steps to play Flash content.
I have checked and double-checked that...
Flash Player is enabled
ActiveX Filtering is turned off
Internet Explorer is running the latest version of Flash Player
The only way I can get this to run at all is to enable'Compatibility Mode' for the web site. Is it the case that Compatibility Mode has to be enabled to view any web site containing Flash content?
Any information would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Do you mean the issue is only occurred on the website you provided? How about other websites?
I can run the test movie with no issue in my test machine, I suspect this issue is caused by browser incompatibility.
As I know, if the issue is caused by a compatibility problem between Internet Explorer and the site you're on. The issue can be fixed by adding the site to your Compatibility View list.
I also would like to suggest you reset Internet Explorer Settings for a test. Also make sure you're not using InPrivate Browsing.
Hope it helps.

Can I retrieve a Flash movie corrupted by the program crashing?

I was saving something on Flash when it crashed on me. Now I can't open it anymore, even though it still exists on my computer. I click on it to open it and Flash tells me that it has 'failed to open' it. I really don't want to start over again because it means another week of missed sleep and meals. Is there any way I can retrieve the document? I was using Flash CS5. Thank you for your time.

if you have an uncorrupted swf, you may be able to reconstitute your fla with a decompiler (like sothink).

How To Add Flash Movie In Java Application

Hello Every One
I am facing a problem.
I want to add a flash movie
Plz Help Me

Flash Player Java Edition is available - but only for old Flash V.2 :(

Trying to find out which line of AS2 code is causing flash player crash in firefox & chrome browser

Hello,
I have a flash movie (AS2) created for the website visitors' registration and this flash movie is longer in size than the browser's window height so that site visitors need to browse down using browser's vertical scroll bar to see all of the contents in the flash movie.
When users click the submit button in the flash movie then
Firstly, the AS2 code attached to the      on(release){    event scrolls the html page back to the top (because the user must have scrolled down to view the flash movie content at the bottom of the page and I want the html page to go back to the top of the page)
getURL("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");    // this is the AS2 code I have used for scrolling the page back to the top. I suspect this code is causing the flash player crash in firefox and google chrome
and also tells the _root of the flash movie to go to and stop at a frame named "StartEnteringData".
_root.gotoAndStop("StartEnteringData")     //making the _root of the movie to go to the "StartEnteringData" frame
this.gotoAndStop("Start")                                  //making this movieclip which contains the registation form to go to the first blank frame labelled "Start"
The "StartEnteringData" frame on the _root of the flash movie has AS2 code for entering the registration data to the database by using loadVariablesNum( ... )
Here's my question.
Almost everytime the user/visitor click the Submit button, the firefox browser users and google chrome browswer users see the Flash Player CRASH...
This doesn't happen often with the website visitors using MS Internet Explorer.
I have read some www articles (by searching google) saying that Adobe Flash Player in Firefox and Chrome browsers crash a lot.
But, for my flash movie, everytime the visitor clicks the submit button, flash player crashes. Therefore, I guess it is the AS2 code that I'm using (associated with the on(release) event of the submit button) is causing the flash player crash rather then the flash player compatibility with Firefox and Chrome browsers.
So, someone please tell me what's causing the flash player crash.
Is there a better code to make a web page to go back to the top?
I am also using the codes shown below on the first keyframe of the main movie. (_root)
//For custom flash right click menu:
var myMenu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.zoom = true;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.quality = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.print = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.save = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.loop = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.rewind = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.play = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.forward_back = false;
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;
//For tiling the flash movie background with bitmap picture
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();

by repeatedly commenting out lines of code you suspect are causing the crush and retesting you should be able to pinpoint the problem.

Adobe Flash Player Crashes

I have this problem which I believe many other people has. Everytime I'm on a website which has some sort of flash content/flash game that needs you to load a high amount of flash files to your computer, it will start running slower and increase the CPU usage of the browser you're using, and later it will crash. It doesn't matter what browser I'm using, neither the version, It's any browser. When the flash content starts loading onto my computer those flash files will end up in my Temporary Internet Files folder (That is if I'm using Internet Explorer) and when it starts doing that it wont stop until you either close it down and start it up again or just keep on playing the flash game or viewing the flash content until it will simply crash. The only difference I know about the crash problem in each browsers is that in the IE browser, when it crashes it will recreate the pages which you were on before the crash happened, in Mozilla Firefox it will just crash and show no error messages at all, neither do IE so I have no idea why I got this problem.
I haven't always had this problem. About two years ago my computer worked fine with no problems when playing flash in any browser. But now I don't know why it keeps on loading more and more flash content until it crashes. I thought it had something to do with the Temporary Internet Files folder, but now I see that it doesn't affect the flash player from crashing if the Temporary Internet Files folder is full or nearly. It's something to do with the CPU usage of the browser. The file size of the browser goes from 200 MB to 1 GB+ and makes it crash like if it was unable to load anymore files. Most people would probably say that It's because I need more RAM in my computer, but it was running fine two years ago so I don't see why it can't run smoothly again.
Anyone got a solution for this? It commonly happens on flash games on Facebook like Farmville, any game with lots of flash content to be loaded.
Using the latest Adobe Flash Player 10 version (not beta).
I'm running WIndows Vista Home Premium SP 2
Intel Core2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40GHz
4,00 GB RAM

Flash doesn't work but only with facebook game Farmville and lately, facebook videos posted. You said to delete flash folders so I did. I have latest version Chrome, flash, Firefox, also Windows Vista 8, 32-bit, and flash crashes with each , used to be only on opening, took 2 minutes as kept getting popups"a plug-in isn't working" or"Flash isn't working on these pages- wait , or kill them?" I could still open farm while live "chat" support waited , now it takes 15-30 minutes or more. A one-screen game,It opens in 4 full screens now,a full screen sky, 2 more empty, then farm, then empty, then tools others see from their farms but i must scroll far to... and all items fill in slowly one by one. Any move I make makes screen turn white , won't reopen usually for hours of non-stop trying: if I plow, harvest, put item just purchased on farm, latter crashes instantly and when reopened , farm didn't save change, item back in gift box, over and over. Imp. parts don't show,any mesage fv sends to facebook "feed" from farm crashes me & stops message."Support' link always before under farm splash screen missing over 8 days. I did all you said, every step, all things were already right, 'enable' where should be, etc. Only thing I have not done is clear computer cache ( I deleted all in flash cache) cuz my boss sends me copy to correct as email attachment so it has TIF (temp internet file) name and I'm afraid to change name.Is that obviously the problem, to you, or what can I do to play game i've put $100 a month into for 3 years! My computer is divided for 2 users; last week I used other side for 1st time and FV worked great when I posted even, but then they'd send pop-up"you were named as one who can't post but you just posted. Please send report so we can know what you did before it posted to help others." That would then crash it.Both FV and FB are too busy developing new attractions to fix old issues, said so in Wash post, didn't care if lost old clients cuz there are plenty of new ones .Please advise-is there instances of flash never working on facebook game? Is it irreparable,as I downloaded new copies of latest versions, deleted old, still no playing? I seem to have 2 javas -same brand ,kind,etc-is that a prob? I also have about 2-3 flashes, 1 for global continuity or some such, which I switched settings to under your advice to work in firefox and IE and then things got worse. It had the letters you said the one I needed to use had-which of other two is the one to delete, neither gives any word of info about itself different to enable me to I.D. older one. Maybe was same version. Please help- I am on 100% disability & terminal and sit all I can do, I played farmvile 10-15 hours a day. Please please help! At Halloween they let players "trick" my farm, turning animals "invisible" (green to match grass they were on, with no eyes or features just outline). It tok me 30 days to find 2 of them,and"clean up" or undo not on their menus anymore. Since, 7 other animals went green as soon as left my giftbox for farm cuz shared partial name of a green one (Tennese horse,foal; tourist calf, cow) but we have 5 farms each and only turned green on farm that was tricked. All the flash errors tho make me sure it's flash,do I delete all my flashes and download latest (only one) ; should I ensure it is one for global continuity? Must I clear cache? Is there anything else I can di?

This is my problem:
The newest flash player crashes everytime I open certain web pages like failblog or tinychat which requires a webcam
I'm not sure what is causing it but it's only when i'm on those webpages that it crashes...
I can go on youtube kongregate steam and I can play tons of games the only thing I cant do is go on certain websites that messes with the newest version of flash for some reason...
I can use ANY other version of adobe flash and it won't crash at all but the problem with using the older versions is that I can't use my webcam on certain sites.
Will there be another update release for adobe flash that will fix this problem? The previous version was fine I don't know what was changed but will it get fixed?
And yes I have also been into the error logs but it doesn't show anything and the codes that it does show, people don't know what the hell it means lol just a bunch of binary number like data...I could post that but I doubt it would be of any help it's just a few short lines of numbers on each crash...I have purposely crashed my computer about 2 times to check if error logs popup and to see what is crashing the flash player but nothing changes in the crash log..
So to sum my problems up into a short paragraph....newest flash player crashes my computer when I go on webcam/webchat/certain websites with flash videos on it, also if I right click and try to tamper with the settings it also crashes my computer...I would like to know if there's a possible fix for this or will there be another update released anytime soon?
Please help and thank you for all future responses I will continue to use older versions of flash player till this problem is resolved, also on my newer i-7 620 processor 5850 ati laptop it crashes but rarely although I can use my webcam on msn on that computer but this is one has problems....

Sorry I wasn't able to respond for a while I work two jobs so I   really don't have time for this although I would still like to get this   solved very much.
In the event viewer all it says is that there was an unexpected shut down.
I have checked and updated everything on both computers I tried to   disable hardware acceleration and that still didn't change anything.
Sometimes when I try to just right click on a flash player and change the settings it crashes, if I try to load certain pages it crashes, if I   try to use a webcam chat on a webcam site it crashes. Though I can   still view other people's webcams in chat ex: tinychat I could be in   there chatting away with some friends from across country and nothing   will happen until I click webcam and flash player asks to allow, it will crash if I try to right click anywhere and that little flash settings popup it crashes.
All of this happens when I use the most current version of flash player any other previous version will not crash when doing any of this although I can't use my webcam since the website is running an updated version which is why I would like to get this problem fixed.
The new firefox update didn't help at all it still just freezes. There is no blue screen, no crash error report, no event log. The event viewer just says it was shut down unexpectedly.
I also tried uninstalling all webcam applications unplugging my webcam and that didn't affect it at all. I've done everything that people have been doing on here to solve there problems, I used the search button and tried options from various threads but none work for me.
I can do everything normally that requires flash player like play games, watch videos, and other stuff but it just crashes when I do those certain things as stated above. It's weird that there is no log, no anything just a freeze and I can't do anything to the computer i've tried letting it sit for about 15 minutes but it didn't respond. I used ctrl alt del after a while, alt tab, alt f4, holding down certain keys, holding the power button in for a while and nothing will happen. It just sits frozen untill I unplug it.
Is there anything I can do to get an error log of the crash since event viewer isn't working?

Flash Player crashes when going into full screen mode

Hey guys! It's basically as the title implies. Whenever I am watching a video and attempt to go into full screen mode, flash player crashes and I get an error window reading "Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 has stopped working". As a matter of fact, it doesn't even happen all the time. It happens most of the time, however. It has happened even immediately after searching for and installing the newest version. What might be causing this and what can I do to resolve it? I am using Windows 7 32-bit and Firefox as my browser.
Thanks in advance friends!

this may be hardware related. try unselecting "Hardware Acceleration..."
right click a movie or flash content and uncheck the box in the first tab in Settings. quit out of the browser and try fullscreen again.

Mac OS X - Flash Player crashes in all browsers for site (bug?)

Hello,
I just received a complaint by one of my clients that customers were no longer able to visit his site (using a Mac), as the flash player was crashing everytime the site was loaded, no matter what browser was used. I started investigating this using the latest flash-player installed (v11.1.102.64) and it seems that their is a new restriction present, a flash-movie can not be higher then +/- 4090pixels (I've been testing this while updating the code) on a Mac. When I visit the same site on Windows (flash player v11.1.102.64) it never crashes and shows the full height of the site 5276px, no matter what browser I use.
I believe this must be some bug, as the browsers I tested are the same and I can't remember havind this problem with previous versions of flash (as I would have noticed this). Could someone confirm me if this could be a bug, and it should actually be submitted somehow? Or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'd like to investigate this for you. Do you have a URL I can try this out on?
Thanks,
Chris

Why does Adobe Flash player crash so much?

This is not the first version of FireFox that Adobe Flash player crashes on. It happens 2, sometimes 3 times a day, my browser locks up for 45 seconds or so then I see the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" yet again.
I've read the forums, tried suggestions but it continues to crash.
I want to keep using Firefox, but I'll have to switch to chrome and just use firefox for the better firebug.
I'm sure this is adobes issue and not firefox, but there's not much I can do.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

How To Prevent Adobe Flash Player crashes

What causes Adobe Flash Player to crash and what can I do to prevent it? Thanks.

Well going by your standards then the blackberry playbook is just as useless since there is no native contacts app or email app. If you want that you will also have to have a blackberry phone that is capable of tethering using the blackberry bridge app (if allowed by AT&T and Verizon since that would be another fee technically you might be charged for since you will be tethering your phone to you tablet).
Funny how I and many others are able to get by using the iPad and we don't have flash. The majority of people if the want to view flash will try Skyfire, iSwifter, Cloudbrowse, or will look to see if there is an app already dedicated to that thing you want to watch, like ABC Player or CNN.
Hey if doesn't work for you then it doesn't work for you. I am not trying to come off as an Apple fanboy, just trying to make sure you are informed about your product and what options are out there.
Would it be nice if flash was allowed native......sure. But it isn't so you can either get rid of the product, get an app that supports it (we are talking about spending $2 - $4) or go buy something else and hope your happy with it as well. You can't please everyone. Apple has chosen their stance and as you can see by sales numbers they aren't hurting. Infact i just read about a week or so ago on Gizmodo.com that alot of the other tablet making companies are cutting back on the number of units they will be making due to low sales or projected low sales (you can thank the iPad sales for that). Your one purchase isn't going to impact them that much. Instead, someone else will be standing in line behind you ready and happy to get their apple product.

Branched this to a new topic as the other one was old.
Can you explain what is happening? When are you crashing? What URLs are you at when this occurs? Can you try updating to the 13.1 or 13.2 ATI drivers (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64. aspx) to see if that makes a difference. You can also check to see if disabling Flash Player's hardware acceleration makes a difference.
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
