Adobe Flash Player 10 beta brings major speed improvement

I have the same problem mentioned above with the uninstaller. It just hangs and quits with no indication of whether it was successful or not. Have the green blocking problem too. Maybe the two problems are linked?

On a PB G4.

It works great on my 2.2GHz MacBook, but on my 867MHz PowerBook, YouTube is unwatchable due to the previously mentioned blocky green artifacts.

@reallycrazyguy, if they are working on a new version, that kinda implies that they are trying to make it better.

Didn't work for me at all. Flash apps would load, but I Flash never registered any mouse clicks. Uninstalled and went back to version 9. Thanks for playing, Adobe. :(

this may seem odd or whatever but i was having some big problems with flash not loading on some websites and sometimes crashing the browser. what I found works is installing or reinstalling the shockwave player. I can't explain why.

I had the Flash 10 Beta 2 installed, but some sites claim that Flash isn't installed (CNN's video for example). I decided to reinstall Flash 9 until I know Flash 10 has more support.

That said, it is amazingly faster. I can't wait for the final release.

I am having the same issues with beta 10 that are listed here:

Distorted video content, green blocking, etc. I am on a G5 with GeForce FX 5200.

Adobe's software is generally ok — maybe a little bloated and un-Maclike at times — but definitely functional.

But their software's installers are consistently the worst of any major company I've seen.

Constantly having to download and use some crappy uninstaller that looks like it was made in 1998 just to install software is ridiculous.

Ugh, I hate Flash, but I went through the laborious process of uninstalling 9 and installing 10. I'm completely sick of having jerky flash video playback on a Core 2 Duo w/ 3GB of RAM. That's pathetic.

By the way, nice job Adobe on the hideous uninstaller program that looks like it came from OS9, appears to freeze for about a minute with no CPU or disk usage, then just quits with no indication of whether it was successful. Bravo Adobe, bravo.

I'd really love to go Adobe-free on my system, maybe moreso than Microsoft-free. Sometimes I just need a Windows app. I'm trying hard to wean myself off of Photoshop. When I do -- see ya later Adobe!

Sure it's three times faster than the current released version of the Flash plugin. However it's still much slower and takes much more of the CPU than under Windows on the exact same system.

Hey Adobe, instead of trying to hack Flash onto the iPhone, where Apple doesn't want you, maybe you can convince Apple it's worthwhile if you produce a first-rate implementation on MacOS X, instead of the second-class plugin you're currently foisting on us.
