I have an older but still decent laptop that I use for most of my online work. Lately the playback fo all flash movies has been choppy with the audio cutting in and out. This makes almost all movies unwatchable, or at the least no fun to watch.
I tried downgrading to the lowest quality, I double and triple checked my connection speed. Every other operation worked out fine, just the flash movies had degraded. Finally I decided to go nuclear as has been suggested here in the forums and elsewhere.
I went from flash 11.7 to flash 10.3. How? You use the uninstaller.. download the extended release version which apparently wont be available after July 7 2013 according to the download page.
Done.
All flash moviesthat Ive checked, including youtube, hulu, and elsewhere run smooth.
Hey Adobe! maybe you should fix your 11.x version before you get rid of 10.3.
