Force Windows 7 to use Flash Player 10
I was developing a Flex app and for the life of me I could not get it to use Flash Player 10 when it would compile. I downloaded the Flash Player 10 Projector content debugger and ran it. Nothing. I tried all sorts of editing flex config files, compiler arguments etc to no avail. Turns out you need to run the content debugger as ‘administrator’. (Right click ‘Run as Administrator). This fixed it up, no need to edit config files or add compiler arguments to my project. Hope this saves someone some headache as I had forgotten about this ‘feature’ on Windows 7.
FlashTracer and Windows 7
I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and have had to re-install a few things so I figured I would post the instructions as I set them up. This is about setting up the extremely very valuable tool for every Flash developer that is Flash Tracer. But it CAN be a pain to setup with multiple versions scattered around the web, various instructions on different blogs, and quite often important tips buried in the comments of said blogs. Hopefully this can help you setup Flash Tracer without a lot of effort.
I am using Firefox 3.5.5, on Windows 7, with the Flash Player 10,0,32,18 debug installed.
Location of WindowSWF folder in Windows 7
I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and needed to re-install some plugins for Flash CS4 and had a bit of difficulty finding this folder.
