Shockwave Flash keeps crashing in the editor

When working on a project, I kept getting a notification up the top saying that Shockwave Flash has crashed. While this notification is up there, I can't do anything in the editor, clicking on things doesn't work. But then, a few seconds afterwards, the notification goes away, and I can use the editor just like always. This continuosly happens to me, it hasn't just happened once, and it's happened on more than one project. It's really annoying, when trying to work on a project.
My browser / operating system: Windows 8.1, Chrome 45.0.2454.99, Flash 19.0 (release 0)

That's weird, the editor shouldn't work after Shockwave Flash crashes

It doesn't work when it crashes, but then it kind-of “uncrashes” and everything is fine.

Shockwave Flash keeps crashing in the editor

I believe that because chrome adds flash to the actual makeup of the software, it's probably running an outdated flash player. Plus it might be that flash is unreliable and unstable now. Frankly im sick of flash, it just keeps crashing for no apparant reason. It's like a saying i herd on a forum, you can update something so much till it becomes useless.

Shockwave Flash keeps crashing in the editor

I would have this happen on a chromebook, and only a chromebook. And its also only with certain projects as well. I havent been able to pinpoint it exactly though, ive heard that in chrome/plugins, if the flash player has 2 files there is a problem, but i only have one file in there, im wondering if it is any other plugins that are clashing with it, if anyone knows them and they could tell me? that would be nice.

I have 2 files, and I do have a similar problem (except for it stops working, so I have to reload the project and I can't work on it).
I have the same problem on another computer as well, so I think it might just be my super mega big script for my terrain.

I have this exact problem, except it's not just the editor, it'll happen on the website on occasion. It happened just now as I was posting my reply in forums. And yes, I am using a chromebook too.

Please create a new thread for this, since it seem to be a somewhat unrelated problem. Thanks!
