FIGURE 1.8
The Flex Builder installer prompts you to install the Flash Player plug-in or ActiveX control on currently
installed browsers.
Before installing Flex Builder, make sure that you’ve closed any browser windows. If the installa-
tion detects open browser windows, it prompts you to close those windows before continuing the
installation process.
Using Flex Builder installation files
If you need to reinstall the debug version of the Flash Player, you should use the version that’s
included with Flex Builder 3 or the Flex SDK. If you’ve installed Flex Builder, you can find the
installation files in a subfolder within the Flex Builder installation folder. On Windows, this folder
is named:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\Player\Win
This folder has three files:

Install Flash Player 9 Plugin.exe: The plug-in version for Firefox and Netscape

Install Flash Player 9 ActiveX.exe: The ActiveX control for Internet Explorer

FlashPlayer.exe: The standalone player (does not require installation — just run it!)
Before running any of the installers, be sure to close any open browser windows.
Installing the Flash Player from the Web
You also can get the Flash Player from the Adobe Web site. Select a download location depending
on whether you want the production or debug version of the Player.
