Why are Adobe Flash Player scripts freezing?

Hello,
I've noticed in the last week or two my scripts for Adobe Flash Player completely freezing up. After a full five minutes of freezing, I get a general warning that:
"A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"
"become" unresponsive? lol Anyway, even after I click "yet", it still takes a least another five minutes before it unfreezes. Now, I used to problems with Jave scripts, but those wouldn't take tens-of-minutes to abort. I've literally had Adobe Flash Player scripts freezes for 15 minutes at a time leaving my browser completely unresponsive.
It all happened after updating my plug-ins. I've tried messing around with them, disabling them all. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player and making sure I had the right version for my old-ish operating system (Windows XP). That seemed to work for one session, but it's back to freezing after logging into places like mail.com.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is this a plug-in issue? How can be be remedied?

Unfortunately, this is not my problem. I can video videos on sites like Youtube, just find. The scripts freeze up on random pages. Basically, anywhere with ads that use Adobe Flash Player. It didn't use to do this.

    I'm having this problem particularly when I visit the site Wonkette.

    Come on. No one else is having this problem?

  • Are Adobe Flash Player updates cumulative?

    It seems to be a difficult task to find the straight answer to the following question: Are Adobe Flash Player updates cumulative?
    If I apply the newest existing Flash Player update (APSB15-02) to the bare-bone machine will this cover all previously disclosed vulnerabilities?
    Is this the same for SCUP distributed updates? Can someone guide me to any documentation available? If I publish latest patch through SCUP will my systems be protected as if I would download it manually?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello CrazyGonzo,
    Yes, ALL Flash Player install files are cumulative.  Every release contains all previous features, bug fixes, and security fixes.  There is no need to install a specific version and then apply a patch to cover some security release.  Hope this answers your question.

  • Why is adobe flash player not supported?

    Why is adobe flash player not supported?

    Because.
    Apple and Adobe could never come up with an OS that liked flash and a version of flash that worked on the OS. So never the twain will meet. and now Adobe is abandoning mobile flash in favor of other things, so it's become a moot point.
    With the surge in the number of mobile devices and the fact that a lot of them don't use flash, site creators will need to take mobile devices into account when they create their sites and assess their accessibility.

  • Adobe Flash Player Script Error: Script Running Slowly

    Hello everyone. I have a problem with my laptop when going on to certain websites. When I go one of the websites with a script error, I get a message that a script error is causing my Adobe Flash Player to run slowly, and that if it continues to run the computer may become unresponsive, and it asks if I want to stop running the script or something. I don't know what to do with it. Help!
    I am running a Windows 7 laptop with a Internet Explorer 8 (I think) and Google Chrome (Both IE and Google Chrome have the same problem), and also Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX.
    [ email signature removed - see http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3731 ]

    I would suggest you update your flash.  You are running flash 10 and the latest is flash 15.
    Download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash for IE.

  • Why is adobe flash player 11.2.202.228 not working on any of my computers or browsers?

    I try to go on youtube, or any other online video, and the player screen is always black or non-existent. I try this on two different types of macs, and a dell. I tried on IE, Chrome, Fire Fox, and Safari. I right click on where the play screen should be, and it gives me two options: Movie not loaded... (in grey text), and, About Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.228. How can I fix this?

    Chris,
    I followed your URLs, The Rainbird site now functions after I disable and enable Flash and I checked and uncheck Active-X.  The UTube site still displays a green picture area.  The ad displays without a problem and pictures display (thumbnails) as I slide the along the time status bar.  From your first URL my system is running 235 not 228, if that makes a difference.
    Thanks for your time and I hope this helps you.  Reading your text the images that I am getting from your URL, do not match the text.  The images look like screen shots from an audio application.
      I do not see a white box with a red X.

  • Adobe Flash Player download freezing up my pc.

    I have Windows XP with SP3, and IE8.  The last couple of days many websites kept telling me that I needed Flash Player 9.  I clicked on the link and it would say that Flash Player had installed successfully, but when I went back to the website; they were still asking me to download it.  After reading some online suggestions, I uninstalled Flash Player.  Now when I try to download the new one, my computer freezes.  After a while I get a pop-up saying that "Dr. Watson's, postmortem de-bugger needs to close".   Help me please. 

    Well, I came in here because I truly had a problem.  Over 60 people looked at my question, but not one of you bothered to try to help me.  On my own, I have determined that Internet Explorer 8 was causing my pc to freeze up.  I have removed IE8.  With IE7, I have no problem downloading Adobe Flash Player 10.
    Thanks for nothing, I won't waste my time here again.

    What does the Adobe test page say?
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
    See also [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]

  • 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.
