Flash Player Debug version failing to connect

Sometimes while debugging I get the following error (see in attachment)
The only issue I found was to replace in the eclipse folder the FlashPlayer.exe by the Debug version downloaded from adobe, and it works after that. But the error comes again and I have to repeat the operation.
I'm on Vista 64.
Just reported the bug but if there is any others issues let me know :-)
Cheers.

Have you tried to configure Preferences->Web Browser window to specify the debugger browser you downloaded or installed? select "Use external Web Browser" and choose the one pointed to what you downloaded, give it a try as work around?

Can Flash Player Debug version be used with Google Chrome?

I have tried everything but can't get it to work. Can it be done?

I had gone to that page before but did not follow the instructions conscientiously. I tried again and it is now working.
Thank you very much, drkstr_1.

Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 Debugging not working with latest Flash Player Debug

First to emphasize that never had such issues with Flex
Builder 2 Beta 2 and Flash Player 9.0.47 Debug version.
I downloaded Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 and installed it. Then
trying to debug any Flex app (old or newly created) does not work.
I don’t get any errors, but after some research I saw
it’s nagging up on trying to connect to the Flash Player
debug version.
1. Uninstalled old versions of Flash Player (FP).
2. Downloaded latest debug version of FP 9 (9.0.115) and
installed it both for IE and Opera (Netscape-compatible).
3. Installed Flex Builder 3 Beta 3.
4. Created a simple Flex app.
5. Ran it in debug mode.
6. Showed a small window with title “Progress
Information” and a progress + text: Waiting for Flash Player
to connect to debugger…
7. Two minutes later I got the error: “Failed to
connect; session timed out. Ensure that: 1. You compiled your Flash
application with debugging on. 2. You are running the debugger
version of Flash Player.”
Any idea what is wrong? I tried to download an older debug
version but then FB 3 Beta 3 raises the error it’s expecting
version 9.0.115. I searched to download FB3 Beta 2 (because I
deleted it after downloading Beta 3) but unfortunately Adobe did
their best to wipe it out from their links.
Any help is welcome.

Hi Dimitar,
Did you close all the browsers (and applications which use
Flash Player) when you install Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 or Flash
Player? You can try manually installing it from <FB install
location>/player/ directory. Here're some
installation/unintallation instructions of Flash Player:

Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up. satellite Internet connection

Win XP. Firefox 34.0.5 (latest)
The Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.I am on a satellite Internet connection.
It seems to be extremely slow even when loading the installer which is only 1MB. Then when I run the installer and it starts to download the installation there are frequent messages about losing the connection and then finally gives up.
I have had problems with other software failing when I am on a satellite link. This is most likely because of the huge latency which may be taken as a link failure. Ping times are typically 800ms but can be 2000ms sometimes!

Hello,
The online shim installer, which you are using actually downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background. If your satelite connection is experiencing latency issues it could result in the failure to download. Please try the full installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?

Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?
I installed a corporate install of Flex/Flash Builder 4 Premium, and verified that it was the Premium version was installed. The Start Page said that Flash Player was needed to display the text, so I installed Flash Player 10 Debug -- first download link from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
When I then started Flex Builder 4, the splash screen showed Premium, but as soon as the Start Page was visible, it showed "FB Adobe Flash Builder 4 Standard" --- Help | About showed Standard, and the splash screen from then on showed Standard.
A Google search showed a work around for this, but it requires a license for Premium, which I don't have because our corporate install has it built-in:
http://bloginblack.de/2010/05/adobe-master-collection-cs5-breaks-flash-builder-4-premium-a nd-how-to-fix-it/
1. Anyone know how to resolve this?
2. Can Adobe fix this?
Thanks!

I had similar problem. I was involved in Flash Builder prerelease program and few months later I installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection. After that I had a same situation. Best thing was, my Flash Builder Beta was Premium version but acted like Standard, and FB from CS5 was Standard but acted like Premium. I removed CS5 and beta version of CS5. used CS5 Cleaning Fix and then reinstalled my apps.
I was lucky that I didn't have many big projects involved in FB beta or CS5 workspaces, I heard some guys had problems with migrated workspace configurations but I don't know what was the problem.

Flash player debug library is old at download page

I downloaded flash player debug library for linux. I installed it, reloaded browser and checked it's version, but it is 10.1.85
It seems flash player debug library for linux is old at the download page of adobe.com
How can I use the newest debug player?

Sorry, this is not something I can help you with here in the user forum.
You either need to contact Adobe Support, or file a bug report at https://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Hulu not working on mac OS 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 after updating Flash Player to version 11.7.700.169. YOu tube works fine. Any ideas?

I recently updated Flash PLayer to version 11.7.700.169 on my imac OSX 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 browser and no longer get hulu to work. Scrren is black but audio is playing. You Tube continues to work fine.
Any ideas?

JavaScript and Cookies are enabled. my cookies list shows at least 3 associated with hulu. Funny thing is, if I grab the up/down control bar on right side of screen with my mouse, then hulu plays in a somewhat chopped frame by frame. As soon as I let go, the frame freezes yet audio portion continues.
I don't know what a munged Hulu cookie is, however.

I can't download/install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169.

I have tried several times to download and install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169 without success. My OS is Windows XP with SP3 and my web browser is Internet Explorer. My current Adobe Flash Player version is 11.6.602.180. In the Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player IE window I unchecked the checkbox "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional" and clicked [UpdateNow]. Then I followed the installation instuctions. When I tried to run the installer I got an Internet Explorer Script Error dialog box.
I then clicked yes on the Scrippt Error dialog box and it closed. The new version did not install. I still have the old version.
What am I doing wrong?

Download and run the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).

Please help -- How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser without downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash plugin is not available in browser

Hi,
Please help
How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser
without
downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash
plugin is not
available in browser
Thanks

Via Javascripting. Look for Flash detection kits at the
Adobe/Maromedia web
site and also at Internet search engines.
As well this forum focuses on database access issues and you
might find more
takers for this type of question in the Flash General forum.

I need set of API that works only in Flash player debugger version but not in Flash player non-debug

My Application does not have any Sampler API, trace , getStackTrace methods, still its not working. My application has HTTP calls to server side ,

Thank you so much for your time! Okay, I think I have what you need, if I understood it all correctly. Here goes...
I just installed FP again, did not get the video showing on Adobe site that it was successful even though the download said it was.
Uninstalled using Adobe uninstaller, then tried install once more with the same result.
The macromed Flash folder still has the same files as listed before:
Flash10i.ocx
FlashInstall (text doc)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX
install (text doc)
In Control Panel I see:
Adobe Download Manager
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
Adobe Reader 9.3.4
Adobe Shockwave Player 11/5
Showing & enabled in IE Add-ons:
get_atlcom Class
Shockwave Flash Object
Adobe PDF Link Helper
Adobe PDF Reader
The Active X Control for Flash Player is not listed in IE
Don’t see any relevant add-ons in Firefox. BTW, I don’t usually use FF and only downloaded it again because I’d read that FP was working for some people in FF when it wasn’t in IE. So, if we don’t get FF working with FP I’m good with that.
No NPSWF files in the Flash folder for me to right click.
Can't give you any version numbers.
Did I miss anything?

Flash Builder 4 - Debugger fails to connect

I've looked at the various other threads but no luck so far.
I'm using Flash Builder 4 and the Flex API 4 and until yesterday all was well - i.e. I could run my app in debug mode. Somehow today things stopped working. Not sure why - I didn't tweak anything in Flash Builder's options. When launching any app (most complicated to the simplest) I get a status bar telling me
launching: waiting for Adobe Flash Player to connect to debugger
that always gets stuck at 57%. Then after a few minutes I get
Failed to connect; session timed out.
Ensure that:
1. You compiled your Flash application with debugging on.
2. You are running the debugger version of Flash Player.
I'm using Chrome on Windows 7. I really need to debug.
thank you for any help.

I think I can help because I had the same problem and I spent a lot of hours trying to fix the problem. I tried several solutions but none of them worked. The problem is that the Flash Player in the browser hasn't debugging capabilities. The link mention earlier, http://flashplayerversion.com/, is a really good one to check if your browser's Flash Player has this feature.
The solution for IE and Firefox can be found from this link http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.
Make sure you download:
Download the Windows Flash Player 10.1 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 2.93 MB)
Download the Windows Flash Player 10.1 Plugin content debugger (for Netscape-compatible browsers) (EXE, 2.90 MB)
The first link will install debugger player for your IE and the second one for your Firefox. I think it's a bit misleading to mention "Netscape" nowadays, it should be switched to Firefox.
Because Chrome has the Flash Player integrated (which is GREAT) it does, however, cause more problems to get a debugger player for it. However, as long as I have at least one browser that makes debugging in Flash Builder function -- I'm happy!
One last thing, in Flash Builder make sure your web browser in Preferences is one that has a debugging supported browser. Go to Window > Preferences and choose General > Web Browser. Make sure the browser is either IE or Firefox. I also tried with Opera (v. 10.63) and it had the debugged version of Flash Player. So, Google just needs to do add a little improvement that developers can have a debugged player and everything is perfect.
I hope this helps!

Profiler stopped once intstalling flash player debug 10.1

Hey
Any idea on anybody why profiler stopped working after i added the flashplayer 10.1 ?
I can debug the flash builder project but when i try to use profiler builder says Unable to connect to the application to fetch profile data.
how can i fix this?

Below are the details of what i'm being experiencing:
Issue:
1. no flashlog.txt generated when running application in flash player 10.1* debugger in both IE and FF/Chrome.
2. I can see that when I heat profile, mm.cfg gets edited with apropriate line that is path to profile agent.
3. Also if there are exception, they are thrown in all the browsers, so I definitely have debugger version.
4. Finally, when trying to profile the error "Unable to connect to application to fetch profile data...".
Configurations:
1. my profiler agent folder path is in trusted location in "Global Security Settings panel".
2. I've tried also to cancel this configuration, still get the same profiler error.
3. my computer is in the domain but no special configurations, i.e.: mm.cfg is in local users folder "C:\Documents and Settings\[my user name]". My desktop is set to default location: "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" in registry.
4. My system has only one network adapter that is configured by DHCP, i.e.: default configuration.
5. My system was upgraded to SP3 just to check if it solves the problem, but with no results as you can understand
System: Win XP SP3
Player Version: WIN 10,1,53,64
Debug: YES
Rolling back to Flashplayer 10.45.2 soves the problem!!!

Flash Player crashes when losing network connection

My flash player crashes every time i lose internet connection. That happens alot, because the networks i use keep jumping between eachother and they suck, quite frankly, but it's out of my control.
I got alot of tabs up, 24/7, all using flash player, so when it crashes, that sucks.
No, it doesn't crash because of the amount of tabs i have open, or the load on it. It happens when i have only 1 tab open too, barely using flash player ..
So, is there anything i can do about this?
This didn't happen with the older versions of adobe (I mean alot older, don't remember at which version this started happening, this/last year atleast) ..
Im running Windows 7 32 bit. But it happens on my Win XP 32-bit computers and Win 7 64-bit computer too.

So i have the same virus on all my 4 computers?
1 computer has a updated version of the latest Symantech antivirus, and 1 has an updated version of the latest AVG antivius. They should've found a virus if i had one. And i haven't visited any "suspicious" sites, downloaded anything "suspicious", and have all ads blocked .. The chance of it being a virus is equal to zero.
When the computer changes from a network (With connection and internet access) to a different network (With connection and internet access) real quick, then it usually doesn't crash.
But when it changes from a network (With connection and internet access) to a network (With connection, but hotspot, so no internet access before i enter the password and username in a new tab/window) it crashes. Same happens if i simply click "Disconnect" when im on a network.
It doesn't however do that if i go into "Work offline" mode before disconnecting, but it crashes then when i reconnect to a different network, and go back into working online.
This is an adobe problem, no virus.
Happens with both Firefox 3.6, Firefox 4, Google chrome and IE (Whichever version it was i had) ..

Flash Player auto-update fails to perform major updates

I'm managing Flash Player on a large number of Intel Mac computers. I have enabled the auto-update feature. Auto-update seems to work for minor updates (for example current version and update version are both 16.x.x). However the auto-update consistently fails to perform major version updates (for example from 16.x to 17.x).
mms.cfg file location:
/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
contents:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

Hi,
Flash Player 17 was what is referred to as a 'loud' release and is distributed via the adobe.com site and not via silent auto-update. This blog post An outline of Flash Runtime installation options, specifically the 'Installation Options' section) provides more information. If you license Flash Player for distribution, the blog post, and the Flash Player Administrator's Guide offer various options for organizations to update Flash Player without the possible delay of the 'loud' releases. I'm happy to answer questions on the update options you may have after reviewing the blog post and the Administrator's guide.
