If you cannot find it then Google Flashlog.txt location. For some reason Adobe has left it in Application Data\Macromedia instead of Application Data\Adobe. You used to be able to define where this file can be located but now it is fixed. Or home/user_name/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/ Or Users/user_name/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/Logs/ Or C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs

Once you have this installed and working, each time you browse to a page with flash on it or open an swf file on your hard drive, a file called flashlog.txt is created in C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs If you have Flash or Flex installed then you can replace the players folder in the flash or flex install location. You may have to uninstall you old players first but the instructions are in the readme.html. (I will use Flash palyer 9 for this example but the other versions should be similar.)įind the section titled Adobe Flash Player 9 Update for Flash CS3 Professionalĭownload the zip file (42MB for the windows version.) This includes both the normal & debugger versions of the player including browser versions.Įxtract the zip file to a convienent location on you computer and follow the instructions in the readme.html file. Go to and scroll down to the version that you want. To be able to do the same from a standalone player or from the browser you will need a couple of tools that can be downloaded.įirst you need to get a debugging version of your flash players. Normally when debugging a flash application, you add trace statements to your code and run it from within flash and view the traces in the output window.
