Flash player with either lose sound in the middle of playing a video or it will outright crash, causing the browser to freeze until I stop the plugin. What can I do about this? I'm using Firefox on Windows 8.1.

Re: flash player keeps crashing when i watch a video online
Give it a clean install: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
Just trashing and reinstalling some of the files DOESN'T cut it.
Also make sure your Shockwave plug-in is up to date: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/

Re: Standalone About Box
I don't have time to take care of that, that's why I asked someone to fill it.

Re: Standalone About Box
I'll do it, then. But remember, you had time to screenshot it, and post it here, then come back and tell me that you don't have time....

Re: Flash Player Crashing and losing sound?
I have this problem too! I think its definitly caused by an update or something in the last week or so. My system is newly installed not even a month old. First few weeks after the install was fine and now i would be lucky to play a flash video (anywhere, youtube, cbs...) for more than 10 minutes. the majority of the crashing happens within one or two minutes of playing. Symptom is the same as misterkiwi described. After sometime into the video, sound would be lost or other times entire video would freeze and sometime even cause IE to crash. Only way to revive is to close IE and reopen.
I am rather certain that it is Flash's problem because when sound happens to be lost mid-stream, I can still open a mp3 and my system can play that just fine. When video freezes IE it self is still very muchly functional, and I have no problem doing other things...such as typing this reply...
My system:
WIndows 8.1 64bit Pro, CPU: i7-3770K, GPU: EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 560Ti, Sound: Asus p8z77ws on board sound
IE 11.0.9600.16518 update 11.0.3 (KB2909921)
Flash: 12.0.0.77
Other plugins (i think unrelated but i'll list them anyway)
Java: 7.0.510.13
Silverlight: 5.1.30214.0
Windows Media Player: 12.0.9600.16384
I have no other Add-ons loaded as i said my system is new...
Please if anyone from the community could help, or even from Adobe 
BTW...i have done all of the suggested steps on the Adobe flash website...nothing worked...
Thanks

Re: What has happened to the quality of Flash player?
It is actually a bad advice to delete the Prefetch folder, as it is used to increase performance.
It does not reduce performance in any way.
One more time: do not clean out your Prefetch folder!

Re: What has happened to the quality of Flash player?
According to Microsoft, who I'm SURE know a lot more about it than you, clearing out the Prefetch folder DOES NO HARM to the OS. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system/ can-i-delete-the-data-in-the-prefetch-folder/c54a8e56-c8cf-451d-a88f-0 7f06a2f2d54)
It will merely slow down the next few bootups as the items are replaced automatically by startup scripts.

Re: Adope Flash Player with Shockware error?
Probably is because your version of Flash player is out of date and you can upgrade it up, is more likely due to your computer using high performance browser required to reduce the load off the flash. In front of me is access to game avatar is also corrupt the flash player as you so

Re: What has happened to the quality of Flash player?
Therefore it won't help a bit, and will slow down things as you admitted.
Finally, it should not be touched.
For details follow the links inside the links I posted.
As for the issue the first guy posted, it can be a lot of things, including:
- if he is viewing Youtube movies, well, sometimes they break things
- temporary Internet connection issue (his house or regional*)
- *sometimes local backbones or dns servers may have difficult connection to internet addresses on other countries
- some problem affecting his own computer

Internet Explorer freezing on x64 systems... tip and (I hope) a solution
hello,
I know that there are a lot of discussion about the issue in the subject.
This is not a question but something like a survey to understand if the solution I found should be useful for us and, mostly, for adobe's technicians to definitively solve the issue.
We know that a lot of Internet Explorer users, in 64bits systems, have flash player that freezes or hangs internet explorer the first time you open a site with flash content.
After some minutes flash content loads and you can use Internet Explorer without problems.
This problem happens ONLY the first time you open Internet Explorer after a restart of your PC. No differences between IE x32 or x64 version (you have probably both versions in your PC, look in "Program Files" folder for x64 version and in "Program Files (x86)" (or something similar it depends from your OS language) for 32bit. Of course you need to search for it under "Internet Explorer" folder....
I used that site to test flash freezes: www.lalaziosiamonoi.it
Well....
Yesterday I downloaded every version published by Adobe since 2012 and I found that installing the x32 version of the activex plugin works like a charm.
Adobe, in last 2012 joined x32 and x64 versions of the ax plugin (the one used for Internet Explorer) to an unique release (valid, they said so... for both browser's version).
For everyone experiencing such a problem: download the x32 version of the flash player (I guess the last version existing is the one in the following link:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp _11.2.202.235_archive.zip
I think that the above version is the latest with x32 native activex flash player. If you know another newer release, please, let me/us know!
DO NOT FORGET TO UNINSTALL, with the official uninstaller, every previous version you have and to restart your PC to test the new version installed.
Install the "flashplayer11_2r202_235_winax_32bit.exe" under the x32 folder in the zip file and test...
Please, reply to this thread to have a feedback and to help adobe to repair their new installer (since 2012...).
You can install this version together with last version (12.0.0.77) of the "plugin" version (the one for firefox, chrome and so on) and with shockwave player without any problem.
If I found a definitive solution, maybe, adobe should pay me for such a discover... :-)
cheers

Why doesn't the call to pause work for bbc?
Hi all,
I am copying this question from
Adobe Community> Acrobat> JavaScript> Discussions
I mistakenly put this question there.
I am trying to pause the video in the following links using javascript:
1. Youtube
2. Bloomberg.com/tv
3. bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/
For youtube, calling pauseVideo() from the movie element will work.
For bloomberg, calling pause() will work.
But for bbc, I already tried calling pause() from the element (object of type application/x-shockwave-flash), but it will not pause.
I have limited javascript knowledge and I hope someone can help me why this is the behavior.
Also, is there a common method I can use to all elements of type application/x-shockwave-flash?
I am calling javascript from the browser.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Ming

loop mode (Windows 8 - Flash player 12)
Hello,
I am using Flash Player 12 on Windows 8.
When i start a swf file, the option "loop" is already checked.
I can't start a swf without this option : loop mode is always activate.
Is there any way to disable this option before the execution of Flash Player ?

Flash Based Web Pages Eating all my RAM?
Why when I leave any flash based or flash embedded webpage open (youtube, facebook, or many others), it eventually eats 100% of my 16GB RAM?
It usually takes about a day for 1 webpage to grow to over 1.5GB of RAM usage. Before I get memory critical warning from Win 7, I usually notice other webpages will slow down or not load at all until I close the culprit flash based page thats using tons of RAM. So not only does it eventually use up all my RAM if left unchecked, it also slows or stops other web browsing completely at any time RAM usage for a single page gets over 500MB.
This leaves a window of about 3-6 hours that I can keep a browser window open and unattended before it wrecks my browsing. This is unacceptable behavior for someone like me who has lots of webpages open at one time and doesnt reboot my PC every day. My PC is extremely stable except for this 1 glaring flash issue. Is there any known workaround for this behaviour?

Re: loop mode (Windows 8 - Flash player 12)
It's a parameter set in the Flash Container when it's created in Flash Pro. It requires an ActionScript command to disable it.
You MUST insert a keyframe at the end of the animation and use the ActionScript command "stop ();" to prevent it from returning to the first frame again.

Re: NBA League Pass / Youtube videos not smooth
Well actually that's what I'm currently doing to watch the games properly but I had no problem until a few months ago... And how can the connection have an impact on the smoothness of the video when it's fully buffered ? I don't really get it...
Anyway, thanks for your answer, but I still keep hope to find a solution (someday) !

Re: NBA League Pass / Youtube videos not smooth
Not the connection.... Bandwidth at the site... NBA admitted in 2012 that they didn't have the server bandwidth to handle all the people viewing streaming playoff games, thanks to more and more mobile viewers jumping into the fray.
Either they upgrade their hardware or it'll get really bogged down again this April and May.

Re: What has happened to the quality of Flash player?
I didn't intentionally empty my prefetch folder. I ran a deep clean and then was told I had done so. At any rate, it is apparently being re-filled.

Re: What has happened to the quality of Flash player?
Mike, I've done everything but the original problem is unchanged. I'm going to show you what I've been complaining about. I see that it's not just live feeds that won't play, but even regular videos. PLEASE NOTE: YouTube is doing much, much better. But YouTube isn't the only place with flash videos I am interested in.
I've always had a fascination with languages. The Internet has given me an opportunity to both see and listen to exotic foreign languages. There was a time I could watch foreign language telecasts--even live ones--and they would play like a top. They no longer do so. Here is a video in Romansh, an obscure language spoken in southeastern Switzerland (unfortunately, I can't embed it):
Just click on the link and play the video and see if it's "smokin' fast" on your computer. I note that Daily Motion videos are also super difficult to play. Again, YouTube is doing better (though the quality of playback comes and goes).
Now, just why is it that my computer won't play these other flash videos back? Is it because they're located in foreign countries? Perhaps, but why then did they used to play so well? What has happened that has made them useless?
Fortunately, I don't have trouble with audio, but I got used to being able to watch foreign news videos and I resent having to do without now. If only they'd post them in Windows Media format--Windows Media has not trouble playing such videos, but they're all in flash for some reason).
After playing (or trying to play) this video, can you tell me what my problem is?
Thank you for everything. You have been most helpful, and beyond patient with my ignorance.

Re: What has happened to the quality of Flash player?
That link has TERRIBLE buffering problems with my XP machine in Chrome.
Dailymotion and YouTube however, are "smokin' fast" as I put it earlier. Watched some NCAA basketball highlights on DM, and some "Bad Lip Reading" on YouTube. No buffering problems. This:
is what I've had for ten minutes at the linked page. It's the same with about five other videos a tried to watch. That would tell me the site has a problem.
