Any ideas would be great its a squeaky clean install [clean install of win. 8.1 then upgrade to 10]..so everything is new flash player and AMD video drivers   ..any help would be great !!!!!

Had the same problem.

To resolve the problem with flash not working correctly in full screen or causing problems after skipping part of a video try the following:

Close Edge / IE Browser.

Go to Control Panel > Internet Options. Select 'Advanced' tab at the top.

Tick 'Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering*', then click OK.

Re-open Edge / IE Browser.

Solved all my problems apart from the fact I would actually like to use my GPU for the rendering.
