I am sid. Who r u?

It seems that Adobe really takes Flash Player seriously. I believe that it’s one reason why they bought Macromedia. Just today, I received a notification that Flash Player 10 is released in the Adobe Labs. (public pre-release)

New KEY Features:

• 3D Effects
• Customer Filters and Effects
• Advanced Text Layout
• Enhanced Drawing API
• Visual Performance Improvements

You can check the release notes for Flash Player 10 for more information about this pre release technology.

Issue
Flash player cannot render fullscreen after updating to version 9,0,115 usually happens on youtube and other streaming videos sites.

Symptoms
Normal, non- fullscreen videos play great - but on youtube or similar sites- when you go fullscreen, the screen goes gray
Solution
1. Right click in the standard youtube video window (non-full screen).
2. Choose ‘Settings…’ from the Flash Player’s pop-up menu.
3. Uncheck the ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’
4. Click ‘Close’.

Here’s a simple tutorial on how to generate a crash log in Flash Player 9.

1. Open notepad (or another text file editor)

2. Create a text file with one line:

CrashLogEnable=1

3. Save the file as:

c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\mms.cfg

Note: it must be called mms.cfg as mms.cfg.txt will not work.

4. Generate a crash in the browser and record all URLs open at the time (windows or tabs)

5. Open up a command line prompt. (From the Start Menu choose Run… then type cmd in the dialog.

6. Type cd “Local Settings\Temp” at the command line prompt. Make sure that you enclose the Local Settings in quotation marks.

7. Type dir *.mdmp at the command line prompt.  The files returned are the log files that we need. It might be easier to copy these files to your user’s desktop using Windows Explorer.

Hope this helps.
