Playerglobal.swc Linkage Type: External or Merged Into Code?

Question

Hi,
I downloaded Flash Pro CS6 with flex sdk version 11.3. It didn't contain Workers functionality, so I had to download the latest playerglobal.swc 11.8 version.
I then used Actionscript options and pointed to the playerglobal.swc.
When  I published the fla with playerglobal.swc linkage type set to Merged into Code, the runtime pops up this error:
VerifyError: Error #1079: Native methods are not allowed in loaded code.
However, when  I published the fla with playerglobal.swc linkage type set to External, the runtime pops up this error:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.system::Worker could not be found.
The only way to get rid of the VerifyError: Error #1079: Native methods are not allowed in loaded code is to get rid of all the code that reference Workers in  the fla.
How can I use Workers in my project!???

Here's a really old article but using it you can still get the general idea of how to properly update Flash Pro with a new version of Flash Player.

It's for Mac but if you're on Windows the paths inside the folders are the same and Flash itself can be found in (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6) Just grab the player you choose, latest or use the archive link for older, update Flash Pro so it's an option you can select as a publish target:

As long as you've updated your debugger (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\Players\Debug) with the latest debugger, always test with the debugger (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just CTRL+ENTER). Otherwise you're using an older Flash Player. You can verify the version of the debugger you're testing with checking the Capabilities.version property,
e.g.:
import flash.system.Capabilities;
trace(Capabilities.version); // should say 11,8,xxx,xxx or whatever version you installed
