Flash in Chrome does not work

After an update to OSX Mountain Lion I can't use any flash-based applications. Flash plugin either crashes or shows no content e.g. video starts playing and can be stopped but I can see only a background and no picture.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Thank you for all your suggestions, guys and gals!

I've finaly found a resolution.

You have two plugins active in Chrome : one chrome's built-in and one system default. So, you need to disable one of them. To do this open Chrome and type:

chrome://plugins/

Now find "Flash(2 files)- Version: XXXXXXXXXXX ", mention it says "2 files".

Click on Details link in the top right corner of a page.

Now find the flash plugin which has location /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin and disable it.

Now restart Chrome and Whola - everything is working.
