    Somebody please help me!! I have a big problem now. It's very embarrassing me.

    When i buyed the Lion after i saw the flash player not good, but i dont care, im waited the updates, maybe it will be good. But it wasnt.
    I reinstalled my computer, after i put the new flash player (Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.62) after it wasnt good... i put on the beta version the 11.2 rc, and not good. I have safari and google chrome and firefox, and nothing good. And i forgot... we have 3 computers at home, and the another two is working good with windows... and everything is fast.

    Some pages not loading, some pages is frozed, and lot of times i cant serching on the youtube. The FB games is not good too. And everything very slow.

    I have a macbook air Late 2010 with Lion (10.7.3) and with safari 5.1.3 and chrome 17.0.963.56 and firefox 10.0.2.

    How many months have to me to wait?
    And sorry for my english....

    Hi Veronika,

    I use Flash Player with Lion every day, so that shouldn't be the issue.  Could you try disabling your hardware acceleration and see if that makes any difference?  Can you take a look at your system profiler and tell me what model hardware you have?

    How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Yes, some of the features on the flash player are working now but I can't use my external web cam like before.  I always set the player to "USB video class video" and my external web cam worked.  Now on that same setting I only get the use of the built in web cam on my computer monitor.  Can some one advise me if I am doing something wrong?

    Adobe just released Flash Player 10.3.183.5 which fixes some of the Mac OSX 10.7 Lion bugs. It definetly fixes the Dialog box issue. Happy updating!!

    Way to go Adobe on fixing this 20 days after Lion came out and about 1.5 months since the GM Seed of Lion came out!?!!?!?

    Truely Pathetic on Adobe's part!!!!

    Hi WebTrauma,

    Check out the known issue section for Flash Builder in this tech doc:

    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Builder

    There's a bullet point in there about how to configure Flash Player to work with Flash Builder and Lion.  If you still require assistance, I'd recommend posting over on the Flash Builder forums, you'll most likely find more developers over there that have relevant experience.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    It's August already and Adobe has not fixed the glitches with it's Flash Player to be compatible with Mac's Lion OS.  I recently downloaded Lion and now when I try to use the Flash Player in various chat rooms that I ALWAYS used it in.....the Flash Player box does not even accept my clicks to do things like permit the website to use my camera, change my camera, etc. etc.  In fact, I can't even close the box but have to exit the website completely.  ADOBE - PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS THAT I AND MANY OTHER'S WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS CAN GO BACK TO USING OUR FLASH PLAYERS WITH OUR LION OS.

    I apologize for the issues with Lion, I know they can be very frustrating (I have 2 10.7 workstations that I use daily.)  For what it's worth, we've fixed the "settings" bug and if all goes to plan we will release a new version of the player on Tuesday, August 9th.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Hi guys,

    I'm sorry you're running into issues with Lion and Flash Player.  Can you give me a bit more detail about what's happening?  Any screenshots you could provide would also be helpful.

    Thanks,

    Chris
