Hi,

That gray exclamation mark means that Flash is running out of memory.  Do you have many tabs open on your browser when this occurs?  What type of operating system are you using?  Is it 32 or 64bit?  And what's your main browser?

Thanks,

Chris

only a single tab open , using windows 7 32 bit ultimate edition and internet explorer , how can I fix the memory problem please ? .

Which alternative browsers have you tried?  Did they all display the out of memory error?  If you haven't already, try giving either Firefox or Chrome a try and see if that makes any difference.  You might also want to open up task manager and see what your system's free memory situation looks like.

It's not uncommon for some of the high-end games to consume upwards of 1GB of RAM.  You've got 865MB free.  The player runs out of memory and exits.  (The grey circle with the exclamation point is the out of memory icon)

The content provider would either need to optimize their game to use less memory, or you need to add memory to the machine, or run less stuff simultaneously (use a single tab as the only open application, etc).  Also, keep in mind that a 32-bit OS will only let you use the first 2GB of memory, so if you have more RAM than 2GB, you're not getting access to it because you're on a 32-bit OS.
