I found a silly solution to all flash-player video crashes and the people on it turning their skin blue.
Flash-Player 235 made some changes on video behavior on my side and other people's computer on this mailing list.
I did some tests with 32 bit and 64 bit systems, GNOME and KDE, openSUSE 11.4 and 12.1.
I did some tests with different video card adapters including nVIDIA, ATI, GMA and Pineview Intel Controller. Including propietary and free drivers.
It looks related to propietary drivers installed and 64 bit systems. Same hardware with 32 bit system and free drivers are not impacted disregard the video adapter cards.
Conclusion:
If you find the Video Flash Player Crash or people showin blue skins. Reload and/or Go to YouTube or any video hoster. Stop the video playing. Mouse Right- Click on Video image will show a contextual dialog. Move the pointer to Setting option and press Left-Click on it. It will show several tab. Choose Display Tab, Uncheck the Hardware Acceleration box. Reload your favorite video and voila. No more crashes.

Hi Ricardo,
I rolled flashplayer back to the last working (for me) version and locked it there. I'm too busy to run experiments right now. I'll try your solution and report back soon. Thank you for doing the hard work and writing such a clear description! :-)

Carl
Welcome. If you find the workaround useful post your comments. I did a more extensive tests It has been hard to find what is causing the Adobe Flash-Player 11.2.202.235 video crash and ocassionally showing people on video with blue skins. 1) I had found no issues on 32 bit system at all on my last research. Not completely true right now. Some unpredictable conditions appears to show the flash video crashes at early beginning or a few minutes later it begins or jumping from one video to another. Ramdomly, it will come. 2) It does not matter what video card adapter (integrated or modular), drivers type (free or propietary), kernel type (2.6.37 or 3.1.10-1.9)-not tested on upper kernel yet or derivatives (desktop, default, pae, etc..) Some of Video Card Adapters already tested: -nVIDIA Quaddro NVS160M (NV98) -nVIDIA GeForce FX7200 -ATI Radeon HD 4850 -Intel i915 -Intel GMA 915GM -Intel Pineview Integrated Graphic Controller - Everyone crashed on different conditions. Not happen on older Flash-Player versions. 3) The only temporary workaround is still If you find the Video Flash Player Crash or people showin blue skins. Reload it and Go to YouTube or any video hoster. Stop the video playing. Point your Pointer or Mouse Right- Click on Video image and it will show a contextual dialog. Move the pointer to Setting option and press Left- Click on it. It will show several tab. Choose Display Tab, Uncheck the Hardware Acceleration box. Reload your favorite video and voila. No more crashes or people with coloured skins.
