After switching to Ubuntu 12.04, Adobe Flash crashes every time I try to share my video. What can I do? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash.

Are you using the proprietary drivers? Have you tried different browsers? If you're not happy with Adobe Flash, there are some alternatives:
They are Gnash and Lightspark. (Another is Swfdec though development is almost stopped. In 2009, only 9 commits were made in the git repository).
Lightspark is available from the project's Launchpad page: https://launchpad.net/lightspark.
Installation of LightSpark
Press Ctrl+Alt+T and run the following commands in the Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sparkers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lightspark browser-plugin-lightspark
Gnash and Swfdec are available as Ubuntu packages from the Universe repository.
Gnash can be installed by downloading the mozilla-plugin-gnash package.
Instalation of Gnash
Open a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:
sudo apt-get install gnash mozilla-plugin-gnash
Swfdec can be installed by downloading the swfdec-mozilla package.
