Flash Player interface problem - flex4

I am facing an interface freeze issue with Flash Projector running a flex state based application. A Flash Projector exe was generated from a standalone flash player ver 10.2. The target machine on which the problem occuresd has 10.3.
Basically "screen freeze" means that the user interface is running as usual on Flash Player, but it's not responding to any user input (like button presses). But if we alt-tab to another application, the state changes in the Flash player. There is display with buttons on the screen, but touching the buttons or doing anything else - it did not respond. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
Can you suggest why this is happening? Is there any known bug in Flash Player.
The problem is this is being hard to reproduce on the developer workstation as it doesn't happen always. But it happens quite often on the target machine running an Intel Atom N270. What debugging steps can you suggest?

Have you tried publishing the projector in 10.1 or a version of Flash newer than 10.2? If you are able to publish it as a SWF first, you can use the stand-alone projector exe (downloadable here) to load and create a projector from it.
According to this Adobe bug issue (registration required), version 10.1 was supposed to have resolved this, but it sounds like it may have reappeared in 10.2.

Chrome's emulate touch screen circle not visible

I have a strange issue whit my emulate touch functionality on Google Chrome version 49.0.2623.110 m.
I'm using laptop + monitor (both Dell) and running Windows 8.
The issue is that while Chrome is on my secondary monitor and touch screen emulation is enabled I cannot see a touch screen pointer (black circle) nor any kind of pointer, but when I move my Chrome to my main laptop display it would show. I tried disabling laptop display while using external monitor and it is the same, I cannot see the pointer. This was not a problem with previous Chrome version.
Did anyone had similar issues with this version?
Thank you
EDIT:
I've change the laptop, updated to win10 and updated Chrome to 50.0.2661.87 m version and I still have the same issue (colleague of mine has the same problem as well).
A colleague of mine "solved" the problem by enabling Windows' Mouse pointer trails at minimum length. I find it too annoying to work with the setting enable, but it does work if you really need it.

They did some changes in recent version of Dev Tools and some options are now gone. Ensure you have "Mobile" or "Desktop with touch" selected, as you can see on the screenshot.

FaceTime volume issue in Mavericks

We have an audio application for Mac OSX which is music player with some audio effects . Ever since we upgraded to mavericks(10.9) we are finding one weird issue i.e when we get call from facetime our application volume automatically reduces. As per our analysis,facetime seems to lower every other applications volume and there is no control on it.
These are few discussion on the same issue
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23592588#23592588
As a temporary fix , we are planing to display some kind of UI to the user to inform that volume is reduced due to the facetime call.
Is there any notifications/API that we will get when we receive a facetime call or any other way to resolve this issue.
Unchecking the audio ducking only fixes the reduced sound that occurs when the "voice" of your computer is speaking. If you have set it up to do so, it is not a fix for the facetime and other application's issue
This is called audio ducking. There is a setting for this built into Mavericks. Open "System Preferences". Go to "Accessibility". Go to "VoiceOver". Click on "Open VoiceOver Utility...". Go to "Sound". The box for "Enable audio ducking" should be checked. Click on this box to uncheck it, and the audio ducking should no longer occur.

Flash CS6 not displaying AS3 projects (OS X)

Flash CS6 won't display any AS3 projects while debugging anymore. When compiling for debugging it turns up white in the default "debug window" inside of Flash. If I right-click in the debugger window it says "Movie not loaded". No compiler errors are shown. The resulting swf file only runs if opened with the Flash Player from Finder.
This applies for all projects that I know have been working fine up until now. I've also tested to create a new, blank FLA on which I only draw a rectangle with the same result.
If, however, I select a Flash Player version prior to 10 (falling back to AS2) as the target for the test file containing only a rectangle, it does compile and show up fine.
I've uninstalled Flash and Flash Builder (and deleting any trace of the applications in the Library folders) and then reinstalled it multiple times without any result. I've also tried to uninstall Flash Player and Flash Player Debugger to no avail. For this I'm following the advice on Adobe's site and are using their Flash Player uninstaller applications, but it doesn't seem to uninstall all instances of the Players...
I believe the problem lies in the version of Flash Player Debugger that Flash uses internally to display the swf when debugging and it seems to somehow persist between re-installations. Is there a sure-shot way to reset this entirely?
Has anybody encountered this problem before?
I finally found the problem myself. It seems like the Chrome extension called FlashFirebug randomly causes these issues. When I deactivated the extension Flash started working properly again.

Possible to turn on logging / debugging, or otherwise solve a streaming issue in Flash?

I know virtually nothing about Flash so I'm kind of casting about in the dark.
I have the misfortune of being a BT customer, and whilst I have reasonable bandwidth (can view streaming high res video fine) I always have problems listening to radio programmes from the BBC. I think it could be buffering due to traffic shaping, or it could be the Flash applet used to play the content, or something else.
Is it possible to bring up some kind of debugging console, or view some kind of error log to see if there is some diagnostic information that could be useful in finding the problem?

EDIT: In the debug Flash player the 'debug' option is greyed out, suggesting that the swf was compiled without debug symbols. This was created by a third party (BBC) not me.
You could install the debug Flash Player, so you should see if an error occurs (a popup will appear on the screen) during the streaming.flash player debugger download
You should also disable flash player plugin and turn on debugger. If you're using Chrome type chrome://plugins the disable flash player and enable Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in.

WP7 XNA without DX10

XNA game fails to deploy on the WP7 emulator, I suppose, it's because I have Intel GMA950 video adapter without DX10 support (it says that I have incompatible monitor adapter). Is it possible to use emulator & xna without changing PC configuration?
Check your Project properties and see if you have the Reach profile selected or HiDef. If you have HiDef, change it to Reach. I have a laptop with an Intel G945 video adapter and HiDef doesnt work, but Reach does.
EDIT
I have just seen your edit and unfortunately you won't be able to do anything unless you change the the graphics device.
