This is reproducible as mention in description on youtube too , not only on intel site (I first mentioned Intel in the title as the device has intel process- as x86 device)

This isn't Flash, as there is no Flash player for x86.

I have the same issue as topic starter had.
My system: Fennec 32.0, Teclast x98 3g on Intel Atom z3735D, Android 4.2.2, Shockwave Flash 11.1 r112.
When I switch on "Settings" - "Full version"(PC mode) and trying to play any flash I see only black rectangle, but I can hear audio. Also I noticed weirdness - I can see some flash movies when I am switching to Full Screen mode. If I disable "Full version"(Mobile mode), I can play back almost any flash without any problems, but still have very small percent of flash videos, that couldn't be played in Window mode(no video, only audio), but in Full Screen mode play back is ok. I also tried the same flash videos in other browsers - Embedded, UC Browser HD, Chrome. They play them flawlessly both in Mobile mode as well as in PC mode.
What logs could I show you to fix this issue?

Adobe never shipped a Flash Player for Android x86. This is not something we have the resources support. If you are feeling adventurous try the Shumway player. https://github.com/mozilla/shumway#extension

The other browsers are getting html5 video.
