How to resolved Flash Builder 4.7 cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player?


I know this question already asked by many persons but that blogs unable to resolve my problem so I am posting this issue to find a solution.

I'm running Flash Builder 4.7, with Flex 4.6.0, when I am trying to debug my web project I receive an error as below :

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_26_0_0_131.dll Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder. Do you want to try to debug with the current version?

Latest version of flash player i.e Adobe Flash Player 26 ActiveX,NPAPI,PPAPI already installed in my system.

I also tried to uninstall the existing version of flash player and installed the latest version of flash player but that is also not resolved my problem, also tried to change the web browser to Internet Explorer but in that case also I am getting same type of issue as

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash32_26_0_0_131.ocx Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder. Do you want to try to debug with the current version?

So if anybody have idea or knowledge how to resolve this issue please help me to solve this issue.


Solution

  • If you start your application in a browser you need to get DEBUGGER version of the flash player for your browser here and install it. If you are using Chrome you need the IE version: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

    If you are running your project as a standalone swf (not in a browser) you need to download the "project content debugger" from the URL above, rename it to "FlashPlayerDebugger.exe" and copy it over to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\player\win\26.0\FlashPlayerDebugger.exe (26.0 refers to the flash player version you have downloaded). You might need to restart the Flash Builder afterwards
