Question

Has anybody had Flash player debuuger suddenly stop working for no reason whatsoever.

What I’ve found so far:
– No exception screens popping up.. in ANY browser. Reinstalled debugger version of flash player, no go.
– Flashbug not showing in Firebug
– No trace calls visible in FlashDevelop
– Flash IDE behaves normal.. all trace calls visible
– Firefox updated about the same time but problem seems to be on a wider scale

This started approximately, on Sunday 8th Januray (or saturday).

Any ideas?

• Use the below special uninstaller:

• Reboot
• Download and install the latest debug version:
• • http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_ax_debug_32bit.exe
• • http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_plugin_debug_32bit.exe
• Ensure that this file exists, otherwise create it:
  “c:\Documents and Settings[user name]\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs\flashlog.txt”
• Note that there is a bug in Flash Player right now that when Photoshop is open that the player will not update logs

I hope this works for you as it did for me!
