I'm trying to debug an issue in Flash Player that I have managed to fix in Firefox and Internet Explorer, Chrome however refuses to cooperate.
So I'm stuck with tracking down this Chrome specific issue. But as far as I can tell there's no way to get the Flash Debugger working on Chrome for Windows. I've read a few 'solutions' to this problem but most of these were for Mac or were for older versions of Chrome.
I tried disabling the Adobe Flash Player plugin in Chrome's chrome://plugins/ page and installing the Flash Player content debugger for Opera and Chromium based applications – PPAPI plugin, it doesn't seem to install successfully however as it doesn't show up in the plugins list nor am I able to view Flash Player content.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have the same issue, however I was able to have the NPAPI debugger installed for a while. I think the key is the version of player. I found that it is impossible to install the adobe debugger if its version number is lower than the version of chrome flash player. I had the debugger working for about 2 months, but now I'm unable to install it since its version is 21.0.0.197 while chrome has just updated its player to version 21.0.0.213. Also I have found that sometimes I need to run non-personalized version of chrome right after installation. All I can do now is to wait for new version of adobe debugger.
[Edit]
I've found deleting folder with its plugin (the one with version in the name) can help temporary ;) After browser restart I saw debugger in plugins instead.

There is a little flash app called easing function generator, I used it for a long time and since adobe flash is deprecated now I wanna port it to vue/angular/react, but flash refuses to turn on in chrome, chromium, mozilla firefox, pale moon and opera.
How can I turn flash on in chrome/chromium to view the app? Or maybe in some other browser
I know flash is dead, but it is dead for users, not for developers. Developers should have an option to run flash apps,
Solution is found!
First of all, install old version of desired browser - chrome, firefox or opera. Then install old version of Flash Player, 11.1.102.55 for instance. That's it, now you can run any flash application in browser!
If something doesn't work, try to repeat both steps in some virtual machine - windows xp or 2000
Also you can run flash apps in Macromedia Flash and Adobe Flash Player standalone, its often marked with "sa" in file name
I am having trouble debugging my web project using the Chrome Browser. I can only use IE to do my debugging. I did some "googling" to resolve this problem, and came across a few Microsoft threads that said to update to the latest version of VS2017, which I did. I use version 15.9.13 and Visual Studio 2017 tells me I am "up to date" when I check for further updates.
When I first updated VS 2017, it started working, and I could debug using Chrome (finally!). But now it has stopped working again.
I saw in other threads where people suggested deleting the .vs folder, which I did, but had no luck with that.
Google Chrome is up to date at Version 75.0.3770.100
I debug and run my application as "Administrator" so that shouldn't be the problem either. I also close all browsers before running the debugger, so Chrome isn't running elsewhere when I try to debug.
Is there any explanation why Chrome cannot launch when using debugger? I would really like to use Chrome because of it's superior "dev tools" and inspection tools. Any suggestions? Was sad to have it working only one day.
Having configured the same environment like yours(VS version and Chrome version) but can't reproduce the issue.I would think if something is broken in VS or maybe third-party extension is the causes this issue.
Please try:
VS repair and a reinstall of Chrome(don't forget to backup the bookmarks)
Uninstall or disable third-party vs extensions, this won't take effect until restart vs
Navigate to %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.xxx directory, delete all ComponentModelCache folders in all 15.xxx folders.
Open your project in vs, changed the target browser from Chrome to IE. Then F5 and wait until it is finish. Stop it and change the browser back to Chrome. After that the error disappeared.
Also, create a new asp.net web app and debug it with Chrome browser to check if the issue persists. Hope it helps.
I have been looking for a way to install the debug version of flashplayer for ie11 or the newer microsoft edge browser under Windows 10. AS far as I understand, the flash plugin is now embedded with both browsers, so there is no way to update it to a debug version.
Using the debug version installer from adobe site (active x version), gives me a pop-up stating that I already have the latest verion which is true, but there seems to be no way to change my version with the debug one.
AS anyone succeed in using the debug version of flash undex one of these browser on Windows 10 (64bits)?
Thanks,
Currently the answer is no, you can not use the Flash debugger in Windows 10 / IE or Edge browsers as they are 'embedded' libraries in the OS now. The options are to use Win 10 & Firefox or use Win 8.1 when debugging Flash.

I have received confirmation that at this time Microsoft does not
support the debuggers on Windows 10. We do not have an estimate as to
when they will support the debuggers, but when they do, the install
links will be added to the Adobe Flash Player Support Center page.
You might do it manually by yourself, the core step is running flash_debugger installation file with switch -install, after a few modification in debugger folder, then you might reach there.

Download the windows 7 virtual machine for free. I recommend Virtual Box. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
Once you have Windows 7 running inside Windows 10, install the IE Flash debugger or another of your choice. https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html
IE 11 does not support flash player content debugging in windows 10.Fire fox and Chrome browsers however allow for the content debugging in windows 10.
1)Install Flash debugger for Firefox or Chrome:
a) Go to https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html
b) For fire fox, Download and install Download the Flash Player content debugger for Firefox - NPAPI
c) For Chrome, Download and install Download the Flash Player content debugger for Opera and Chromium based applications – PPAPI
When trying to run or debug in Flash Builder, I get the following error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\plugins\NPSWF32.dll
Flash Builder cannot locate the required version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.
Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?
I've checked the setting in preferences > flash builder > debug and it is pointing to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\player\win\11.4\FlashPlayerDebugger.exe
Yet as you can see from the previous message Flash Builder is still trying to use the chrome version of flash player. How do I actually change this setting to use the right version?
Solved this by installing the plugin version of the debugger (for netscape compatible browsers) found here. I then had to go to chrome://plugins/ and disable the pepflashplayer.dll version of the player. Apparently chrome comes with the standard version of flash player preinstalled, and I guess flash builder was trying to use that.
Open the property of current project(e.g. HelloWorld), and go to Run/Debug Settings, double click the project, uncheck the "Use default" and choose "HelloWorld.swf", not "HelloWorld.html".
Updated fix:
Download and install the Active-X flash player debugger.
Test in Flashbuilder by setting your default browser to IE.
Download the Opera and Chromium debugger and install.
Now the Flashbuilder debugger should work with Chrome, also.
I discovered this by accident but I have tried it on two separate installs of FlashBuilder 4.6 and the debugger works in Chrome and IE.
I'm having major issues with my Flash Debug Player. For a while now it hasn't been able to launch properly, or at least so it seems. Whenever I visit a site with the debug player enabled I just get the sad puzzle piece and a message saying that Macromedia Flash Player has crashed. It's the same thing with ADL, I can only run it with the -nodebug flag.
It works just fine if I install the regular Flash Player or use the one built into Chrome.
If I'm not mistaken, this might have begun to happen when I installed the Flashbug debugger in Firefox.
I've done the following:
tried installing an older version of the debug player
uninstalled flash and AIR completely before installing a new version
made sure there is a flashlog.txt file
I've edited my mm.cfg to look like this:
ErrorReportingEnable=1
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
Nothing is written to flashlog.txt when I try using the debug player, or ADL, and it works with the regular player and ADL with -nodbug enabled, so I'm guessing something happens with the logging part of the player. When running ADL i get "Bus error: 10" in the terminal.
Could anyone give me a hint, or any ideas at all on how to fix this? Could there be some hidden configuration file somewhere that isn't removed when I uninstall to do a fresh install or something?
Please can you tell me what version you are running. The error appears when you try to debug a project from Flex or Flash Builder? I Had similar when trying to debug projects in Flash Builder with Firefox, the solution (for me) was to uninstall flash player with this program and then install again a correct version, in this case try with the version 9 or 10.
I hope it will be helpful
