I've tried everything... it won't hide.
Obviously tried Mouse.hide()
tried different player versions (10.2, 10.3, 11)
tried Mouse.hide() everytime there is a mouse event on the stage
tried compiling to swf, projector, debug player...
I'm on Mac OS Lion, and I suspect this is the problem, but I'm not sure. As I can't try on another machine. Never had this problem until I upgraded to Lion and CS5.5 at the same time.
I'm out of ideas...
I'm compiling with Flash IDE CS5.5 version 11.5.1.
Any idea is appreciated.
TIA
Update: in fact the only way to hide the cursor is to switch to another application and then come back to the flash projector.
Try setting your wmode option to window when embedding the swf.
So I came back to this problem after some time and the solution in my particular case was this.
Mouse.show();
Mouse.hide();
It works with the projector player 11.1 in Mac Os 10.7.3.
This bug still exists but I've run across a workaround. This problem only shows up if the application is set up to start in full screen.
Without fullscreen mode on Flash Player the cursor will go away with
Mouse.hide();
Then in Flash Player, select Full Screen from the menu.
Sometimes it takes a couple of times.
In a pinch, this was a very useful discovery, although it is by no means an acceptable workaround for all occasions.
I'm using Flash Player 14 on OSX

My AIR Desktop project is currently using
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
to allow multiple user to interact with it.
But when I published the project and tested on the touchscreen (Chinese touch frame for windows, no driver), It had this weird two fingers tap effect happened in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9Kbnngs4sc
which I don't want it.
I tried created another simple file using GESTURE mode instead and this weird effect has gone. But I need to use TOUCH_POINT mode.
The question is: how to detect or disable two fingers tap it in as3 TOUCH_POINT mode.
Thank you in advance,

Very recently, after the latest Chrome update which includes Adobe Flash Player Version: 12.0.0.41, a flash app that's been running smoothly for years has begun to "hiccup" during one particular function.
Normal behavior - User logs in to app. App grabs some xml files then draws a calendar onscreen.
Hiccup behavior - User logs in to app. App grabs the xml files but feezes before executing the loadComplete function (according to trace). By freezes, I mean the little load spinner remains onscreen but stops spinning and the calendar doesn't appear onscreen.
Interesting/maddening notes - The mouse cursor responds as if the calendar has been drawn (arrow changes to pointer when mouse passes over an invisible calendar day) but according to my trace log the loadComplete and showCal functions haven't fired.
ALSO, any call to a function unfreezes the glitch (e.g. clicking an invisible calendar day, mousingOver a control button, etc. Anything that triggers a function.) and bam! everything's there and the trace log completes as it should.
As stated, this glitch only occurs in Chrome with the latest Flash Player update (12,0,0,41).
Installing the mozilla version of the flash player debugger (12,0,0,43) and instructing chrome to use it instead fixes the glitch, but using it in chrome opens up a whole new can of worms when it comes to flash player glitches (as is to be expected).
Maybe there's nothing I can do and it's just a fault with the latest Chrome flash player build, OR...
There's something fundamentally wrong with my code and Chrome's latest flash player is the only plugin that glitches on my "wrong" code?
I'll happily include some code snippets if someone is convinced my code is the problem but am leaving them off for now since this question is enormous. (you're a trooper for sticking with it)
I'm hoping someone else has experienced this or can at least explain it/fix it. Thanks in advance.
I'm seeing very similar symptoms on an application I work on Frankenscarf. All workarounds have been ineffective thus far. I can confirm it is specific to 12.0.0.41 Pepper Flash. I think you might need to wait for google to fix the lasted release...
I am also having problems with Flash 12.0.0.41 on YouTube, videos very laggy and dropping frames all the time even making the video stutter on 320p. I have disabled Chromes built in Flash player though Chrome://plugins, installed Chrome 11.7.700.260 and now have the videos running smoothly even at 1440p. Hopefully they will sort out the bugs soon.
I wasn't able to edit my original post...
UPDATE: I managed to get a workaround going. I set up a periodic timer (triggering every 500ms), that calls invalidateDisplayList() in my largest container. It is horrible, but it works....
I've got a real problem with FlashPlayer. What I need is to have it working on full speed when it is in the THROTTLE mode - that means when FlashPlayer loose its focus and decrease framerate to about 4fps. This is commonly know as a feature for mobile phones or when you change a tab in your browser and your .swf movie doesn't run with full speed anymore.
I need this full speed because we run tests with flash swfs on virtual servers, and unfortunatelly tests run very long.
I found that in FP11.2 was ThrottleEvent introduced that inform you what Flash Player is doing. It can go to PAUSE, THROTTLE, or RESUME state. Unfortunatelly it seems that I can't force other stage.frameRate when it really goes into any of these states. I tried also with Event.DEACTIVATE, and Event.ACTIVATE without any results.
Can I go around this any way? Or if not, what version of FlashPlayer was the latest before Adobe incorporated this feature into FP?
Thanks for any response!

you should try
stage.addEventListener(ThrottleEvent.THROTTLE, doStuff)
I'm currently working on a flash game and, at least on my machine, the audio seems to lag by a fraction of a second in Chrome, but not in IE or FF. This isn't a huge deal, the game is still playable, but it's a little bit annoying. Is there anything I can do from a development standpoint to fix this issue or is it something the user would have to fix?
Edit: I've now tested it on two other machines and the same thing happened. The audio is delayed in chrome but not Firefox or IE.
Edit 2: I've also tried the same thing in a few popular games on Newgrounds to the same effect. Is this just something wrong with Chrome?
Edit 3: I tried lowering the bit rate of the audio from 44kHz to 22 and it didn't do anything to fix it. (It also sounded terrible, predictably)
Edit 4: To prove it's not a memory management problem I created a blank SWF that just plays an audio file on mouse click, it also has the lag issue. This is definitely not a Flash or AS3 isolated issue.
I have/had the same problem with Chrome.
if you go to: chrome://plugins (->details) and disable PepperFlash, then it runs smooth. Not sure if Pepper is the default for Chrome, or if its the particular version of flash we installed.
C:\Users\ [USERNAME] \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\21.0.1180.75\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll
I had an intermittent audio and then the video started to lag. The solution was two fold:
Re-install chrome.
Get the latest Adobe Flash Player.
I had to do both things for it work properly. To get the plugins type the following in chrome address bar: chrome://plugins
After you install the latest player you need to disable the older one.
Hope this resolves your problem as it did for me.
I created a flash "intro" (ponicawater.com). On my computer and on my sister's computer it works perfectly, but I receive some messages from people, trying to load the website unsuccessfully. Some of them see a little flash player icon in the top left corner, other see only the first frame, but it's inactive. What could be the reason for this happening and how to fix it?
I see 4 water bottles that move up when you mouse over them.
I think anyone trying to solve this problem needs more details.
What browser & OS did this happen on? Do they even have a current version of Flash Player installed?
I suspect they may be using an out-of-date Flash Player.
