Ok, thanks for the additional information.  This is indeed a known issue and we're working with Apple to resolve this.  In the interim, could you try to either:

1. Use theFlash Player preference panel, found with your system preferences, which covers *most* use cases
2. Use keyboard navigation (tab, spacebar, and enter) to toggle controlson the online Flash Player settings dialog.

Thanks,

Chris

Well, this known issue has been an issue TOO LONG.

How about a fix?

[chris.campbell]

Hi Jim,

What issue are you referring too?

Chris

[JimDiver]

Not being able to click on camera settings in flash with lion.

[chris.campbell]

Ah yes, I completely understand the frustration.  We're working with Apple and ATI to resolve this as soon as possible.  Are you able to use the tab, spacebar, and enter keys to change the states on the dialogs controls?

Chris

[JimDiver]

No. Drop down boxes don't respond at all. Like to change cameras.

I updated my Flashplayer to this new release. However, the updater installed Chrome on my system without giving me the option to do so. Sure it's no biggie to uninstall it but as far as I am concerned that's unethical and needs to be fixed.

Nothing definitive yet, though we something should be out in the next few weeks.  What sort of problem are you having?  Have you verified that it's fixed in our RC build that we have up on Labs?

Flash Player 11 RC

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

I was still seeing issues where multi-line text was getting cut off at the end of the first line.  I just updated to 10.3.183.10 and this seems to have been fixed.  Thanks.

What need to mainly focus on is fixing the lag is the one probally causing all these other issues. (It started happen after 10.3.183.5) Perfromance Slowdown countines. Even try cleaning it its fast in the beginning than it gets laggy so it must be memory leak they never notice.

Do you have any example URL's (or bug numbers) you can give me?  I know of one animation slowdown that was introduced in 183.5, but we fixed it with .7.  I'd be happy to investigate further.  In addition, have you tried our Flash Player 11 rc release?  If not, I'd highly recommend it.  Its very close to final code.

Thanks,

Chris

I've been having the same issues since July.  A friend of mine pointed me to this thread and mentioned others were having the same issues as me.  At the time I was running Windows XP 32 bit and the most current version of flash at that time, using firefox as my web browser.  I encountered the same symptoms on both my desktop and my laptop pc, which was and is running Windows 7 and using firefox.  I experienced similar problems at the time using IE.  Prior to these problems I used to watch videos frequently on sites such as MegaVideo, Novamovies, Megashares, etc.  The only way I can describe the symptoms is as another member did... lag.  If I watch a video as its loading it seems to work fine, but if I pause the video, it seems like the longer the video is open the slower the playback is.  The audio is fine, but the video lags, skipping a large number of frames at a time and "jumping" ahead.  I used to be able to pause a video, let it buffer and then come back and watch it days later, but now I can't even go 24 hours.

Since then, I have upgraded to Win 7 on my desktop, I have upgraded my video card as well and no longer rely on my onboard video.  I have upgraded to Flash 11, and Firefox 7, and I still have seen these same problems with every update that comes out.  The fact that I'm experiencing the same issue with two different pc's tells me that something was changed and not fixed, but I'm surprised this has gone on for so long and not been repaired through many updates to adobe and firefox.   I do not know if the problem still occurs in IE.  I can check it out.  I don't use IE ever.

[Stemin]

For the record, I get the same responses in IE.  I tested it out again.
