How to download a new version of Flash Player executable for opening SWF files and Flash IDE

Question

I would like to update the swf player that I specify into FDT and what Flash IDE uses to play files, namely from Flash 10 to Flash 11 for Stage3d preview. How does one do this?

Answer 1

One goes to the Adobe Flash Player Support Center, and download there latest versions of the debug flash players, according to the system, and browser one needs.

For the newer '3D' stuff you'll need to test it in a browser environment, see the 'Analyzing The Setup'.

In general, to change which stand alone player you're using - you need to change this in the Preferences > FDT > Tools > Flash section.
