Using the Flash Player 10.1 Debugger Version on Chrome

Chrome is my favorite browser! I’m sure it’s yours too! So i installed the Flash CS5 and the Flash Builder 4, but somehow it screw up my debug player for chrome. All other browsers are still with the debug version of the player, but chrome is not. After checking some sites out, i found out that chrome keeps both plugins installed but priorizes the non debug version. The reason for this is unclear, but i think it’s because it would be the last one installed. Without further ado, you can change this by following these steps:

  1. Type about:plugins in the address bar
  2. If you have both plugins installed, you can see that Chrome lists them both so you have 2 Shockwave Flash Plugins.
  3. Disable the Adobe Flash Player (Shockwave player) plugin that points to a gcswf32.dll file
  4. Restart Chrome and you should be good to go
If you don’t have both players listed, after disabling the normal player, check out the Flash Player Downloads page
