Help Why can't I stream any flash videos continuously?

I've been trying to stream embedded flash videos (movies, tv shows, and animes) on my Samsung Galaxy s3 but after playing 2-3 minutes the video would stop. When you look at the gray "loading" bar it looks like it loaded all the way to the end but it didn't, it just jumped from where the video stopped to the end. The only way to have it playing again is to refresh the page and skip to where it stopped. But it would stop again after a few minutes. I have been looking online to see if anyone has the same issue and if it's been solve but, no such luck.. :thinking:

Samsung Galaxy s3 (AT&T)
Android 4.0.4
Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.20
Browsers: Stock, Firefox, DolphinHD
4g, LTE, wifi - work and home
Already tried reboot; uninstalling, reinstalling flash
 
How is your signal strength? Are you using WiFi or Mobile Data 4G. It could be buffering or just slow speed and timing out.
I first tried watching a video using 4g, and that was the first thing that I thought of. I was out having lunch and I thought that the signal was bad where I was. I even finished watching my 20 minute video, patiently restarting every 3 minutes. But then when I went back to work, I tried it over wifi and it was the same thing. I tried it again when I got home and still that same issue.
