Hi all, Puzzling problem. My flex application will not run when launched from Flash Builder in FireFox. This happens even with a simple flex example application.
In FireFox, I get a spurious message about flash not being installed (or not being a new enough release). When launched from Flash Builder, the url is: file:///C:/Users/PC/Adobe%20Flash%20Builder%204.7/browserTest/bin-debug/browserTest.html When I run the same page in a local webserver, it works fine http://localhost:12340/deleteMe/browserTest.html See screenshot here: http://www.analyticaonline.com/fred/ffScreen.png It’s important for me to get this working in FireFox because I want to use the debugger to step through the code. Any ideas? Cheers, Fred PS - here's the hmtl page generated by Flash Builder: <!-- Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements.
