In order to install debugger version of Flash Player 9

1. Uninstall current flash player using Add/Remove programs.
2. Goto the following link http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
3. Under Adobe Flash Player 9 debugger versions, install the following
a. First download and install the Windows Flash Player 9 ActiveX
control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 1.61 MB)
b. Then download and install the Windows Flash Player 9 Plugin
content debugger (for Netscape-compatible browsers) (EXE, 1.57
MB)
4. Restart Flex Builder if already open.
5. If the debugger still doesn’t work, try re-starting the computer.

Thanks,

Greetings!
Has anyone gotten this Adobe error using QTP 9.5, Adobe flash 10, and Flexbuilder 3.0:
“adobe flex 3 plug-in for QTP could not find the flash player within the HTML page.”?
This prevents QTP from recognizing the flex 3 objects in our app.
Thanks in advance!
Steve

Thanks buddy!

I run the flash player installer available at “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\Player\win\Install Flash Player 9 Plugin.exe” and it worked.

Yhen, thanks but no thanks. Already tried that and did not worked for me. The problem is not an older version but the location where the new player is installed.

Also it can be a browser issue: maybe Firefox changed the old location of plugins and Flex Builder 2 is looking in the old location but the browser has a new location. The flash player install seems to know where the plugins folder is but Flex Builder 2 don’t. I’m not sure but this can be an explanation.

What I know is that I tried what is written on Adobe site but didn’t work out. I hope, if somebody else will get into the same problem they will find a way to fix it… and there can be other ways than this to make it work.

Straight from adobe website.

Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser, uninstall all previous versions. For instructions on removing the player, please see “How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control” (TechNote 14157)

not following this step has mixed results.
