Why is the flash player (plugin) getting slower?

I just upgraded from the current release of 10.1 to a beta that I downloaded last December. A vast improvement!!
The platform is Windows XP SP/3, the host is an Acer AR1600 (Intel Atom 230 + nVidia ION LE). The content provider is Hulu.
The video is displayed at 1080p on a 96" screen via HDMI - this isn't a laptop.
My grandson, complained about the jerky picture, so I upgraded to the latest (16.Nov.10) and while I cannot say it was worse, it definately was not better.
I have fixed the problem by going back to a 10.1 beta I downloaded last December - it has a P1 in the installer's name.
I have no performance problems with Silverlite (Netflix) or Video LAN (VLC) - just Adobe Flash.

Things to try:
check that you don't have any old modules in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
update the device drivers for your graphics/video/display adapter
enable or disable Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings)

You really need to provide more information...
What is your operating system, version & edition?
What web browser(s) do you use?
What happened when you installed Flash Player?

Update to Flash Player 11 has caused our Flash content to crash the Flash Player plugin. Why?

I work for a health and safety training company and we've create a SCORM compliant course using Flash that has been imported into Absorb LMS (our own instance of it www.astutis-elearning.com). There are nine modules in the course each developed using Flash Professional CS5.5.
These all worked fine using the Flash Player 10.3 plugin but since the Flash Player update to 11 our modules (not all Flash content) crash the plugin at certain places. Some modules load fine and then crash later, some modules get through the preloader scene and then crash as soon as it gets to the main menu. We've done some testing and don't know if it could be a Flash component that is causing the issue. At any rate, they used to work with 10.3 and they don't work with 11. We've tried on a number of machines and browsers. Its the same on all of them.
I am prepared to provide a login for people willing to help to see what is causing the problem.
This is an important issue as we have people who are currently on the course that may not be able to complete the course if they upgrade their version of Flash to the latest version. I hope I have provided enough information. Let me know if you need any more.

Paul and DevChaz,
Like you, I am a Flash Developer at a company that creates eLearning. Therefore, I assume that the way that we use Flash is very similar. I was quite excited as I read through this thread since I have been experiencing very similar browser crashes in my newer courses since FP11 came out. Like you, we have recently upgraded to CS5.5.
All of my crashes are with AS2 courses. I would be curious to know if yours are AS2 or AS3.
Anyway, I took my use case, saved the flas down to CS4 and recompiled all the swfs. This did not fix the problem as it did for you (see DevChaz's earlier post in this thread dated Oct 12, 2011 4:46 PM).
I have my problem logged in the Adobe BugBase here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3018637
fpMonster,
I have recently added my cs4 versus cs5.5 compiled use_case on bugbase. I am hoping that you'll look at this use_case and compare it to PaulGray's use_case to see why my use_case does NOT work correctly when compiled in a lower version of the Flash IDE. In addition, perhaps you could share notes regarding this issue with someone at BugBase. Thanks in advance.

Why does the flash player work on some website but not others??

I have the new flash player, and for the most part the player will work on some web sites. However I like to be on myspace and it says that I have to install the new version of the flash player. However I ALREADY have the new verison. There are other site that I go to as well and it tells me the same thing. what is going on and how can I fix it. I am at my wits ends right now and I dont know what to do. Can any one help me please

I had the same issue when I had created Flash Paper items. I had found the a solution on my opinion.
http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
you actually need a Flash Movie Player and not Flash Player. they are different. the only issue is that Adobe does not support this anymore.
so what I did is placed the EXE file of Flash Movie Player found on the link above on my server, made a note to my viewers that Flash Movie Player is required to view the documents.
I found this solutlion when my boss asked why he could not view any of the Flash Paper Documents

Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed. Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below. While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.

Why is the flash player install not making good audio?

I am trying to run a "movie" from Autodesk's tutorial stuff, and it
requires a Flash player, which I downloaded
and installed. The "movie" plays but not with good audio...(almost no volume)
I am running win 7 64... went through that install of "Square"
thinking that was the problem..
I think it is some setting in the OS that has to be made (like shut off windows media player somewhere)
Worse.. . I called Adobe, waited 8 minutes to talk to somebody,
but he says yes there is a fix but it will cost me $30+... which
I refuse to pay just to get an unnecessary "player" to work in
a Microsoft world...
Please help with a detailed solution as to what to fix or send
me to the right "FAQ" page that deals with this... Flash installed
but does not play audio of a movie.. sounds like a simple problem
that the installation program should have solved.

The flash player plugin is correct installed, but firefox keeps asking to install it and then says not possible

I have installed flash player.
The test site of Adobe says it is correct. When I switch it off and do the test the test says "flash player is switched off, press to switch it on" when I dos so the test says that is corectly installed.
When I open the plug-in screen there is no adobe flash player, but only shockwabe flash player, but switching this one on and off had the above mentioned effect.
I have checked the registry (since I could not find anything about flash player in the program list, software in configuration, nor in program files and found that in the windows/system32/macromed/flash directory are the files flashutil9b.exe and flashutil_10uPlugin.exe and some other files, which gives me the idea that flash player is in effect installed.
Nevertheless a flash file in my website keeps asking for the plugin and tells than that it cannot be found.

An example of my website is http://www.vangelder.nl/example
My real website is protected, but the example shows the problem.
I hope you can give the solution.
The big problem is, that since I have these problems (on several computers, working on XP and Vista) I suppose that the visitors on my site wil have the same problem.
I heve been working hours to find out what the problem is, installed different players, used different formats, searched the internet for a solution and I don't want to export this problem to the visitors of my website.

No matter if it's a Mac or a PC, FireFox refuses to refresh Flash files. Updated Flash files are showing up as old,out dated, Flash files. Is there an issue with the Flash Player PlugIn?

I have created a simple Flash menu for use on multiple site. They all access the same flash file. My original flash file only had a few links and tabs. The new one has more links, and a "LIVE" button at the bottom. But in Fire Fox, those that saw the original can not see the updated version in FireFox. They see it if they use Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc. This issue comes up on all operating systems. This issue only occurs with FireFox. I've tried clearing FireFox's Cache but that doesn't seem to be working either.
The Flash File can be found on the left side at this link:

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

The problem has been fixed with the most recent OS X software update.

"There is no application set to open the document :Flash Player.Plugin"

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)
Yikes! What shall I do?

See How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
Add to the steps included, trash the Flash Player.plugin from the (disabled) folder.

Can I use Flash Player plugin version 11.2.202.228 with my Firefox ESR 10.0.7 instead of the most current Flash Player plugin?

I am trying the Tor web browser software pack and it comes with Firefox ESR 10.0.7.
Right now, I'm trying to install a Flash Player plugin because it doesn't have one in this Firefox ESR 10.0.7 already, or this browser just doesn't see the slightly older Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have already installed on this machine.
'''Is there a way to make this Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser see the Flash Player plugin 11.2.202.228 that I already have installed on this machine without installing the newest, possibly problematic Flash Player plugin?'''
I already have the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin installed on this machine, a PC with Windows 7 ULT, because the most current versions of the Flash Player plugin had some problems and they wouldn't allow Flash content to play at all, so I reverted back to a slightly older version of the Flash Player that was reliable, crash free, and most importantly, it works.
But when I try to play any Flash content in this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser it tells me I don't have a Flash Player on this machine, or installed as a browser plugin or add-on, and it wants me to install the most current Flash Player on this machine, which I DO NOT want to do for the reasons I stated above.
My other Firefox browser, along with Google's newest Chrome browser and a newer version of the Safari browser for Windows, plus an older Internet Explorer 8, all WORK JUST FINE with the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 that I have installed on this computer and Google Chrome and Safari didn't even require having newer Flash Player plugins installed at all... they just see the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have on this machine and they play all Flash content perfectly.
So can I just make this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser see the existing Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have on this machine?... and if so, how do I do that?
Thanks for any help.
Also, I'm not able to find an actual community help forum for Tor, even via their "Torproject.org" website... is there one?
Thanks,
numetro

You should actually be using Flash 10.3 (11.2 is insecure).[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash|Solution 2: Downgrade Flash]].
Also, is there a reason you are using Firefox ESR? It's mean for organizations, and doesn't include all the security and stability fixes that Firefox latest (15.0.1) has.
