Installed Flash Player Is Not a Debugger – FlexBuilder 3 Error

Recently I and my team started building so-called RIA kinda solutions and we are doing it using Adobe family of technologies Flash, Flex, ActionScripts, blazeds, weborb and etc.

We are using Adobe Flex Builder as the IDE for developing the same. The debug feature for the Flex was working on few machines and in few machines it threw us an error as below.

"Installed Adobe Flash Player is Not a Debugger" with a detailed message saying, Flex Builder cannot locate the required debug version of Adobe Flash Player. You may need to install the debug version of AdobeFlash Player 9.0 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to debug with the current version?" Installing the Flash player from the link provided in the error message also did not help.

I searched the internet for a while and could not file anything useful to fix this. This has become annoying and we found it was difficult without debugging.

This is what I had done to fix it. Uninstall any Flash player from Add Remove Programs (appwiz.cpl).

Locate the player directory with in the Flex installation location and typicall C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\Player\win

Execute the installer "Install Flash Player 9 Plugin.exe". After Bang F11 for debug, it should work like a charm.

Thanks for posting your solution. It helped me to fix my same problem.
However, I didn't uninstall all the flash players, I just find the Player\win\Install Flash Player 9 Plugin.exe file and run it, and the error goes away.

TYK API Gateway to AWS API Execute Gateway + Lambda

Image
TYK API Gateway  does not provide a simple integration for invoking Lambda and I remember reading Kong does.  In any case, this is about how to securely integrate TYK with Lambda - Or in general, consuming internal/private AWS Api gateway in your application. Here are the high-level steps  1) Create a VPC Endpoint for API Gateway - with a security group that allows 443 from the TYK Node/application nodes ( Security-group in the source is the best choice). Note the Endpoint ID (used  for API Gateway Resource Policy) and DNS Name (not the individual AZ but the generic one - to be used for API definition on TYK API Gateway ) 2) Create a Private AWS API gateway - with a nicely tied security group and the resource policy would look something like this ( replace highlighted place holders with your configurations)  {     "Version": "2012-10-17",     "Statement": [         {             "...

Effective CPU Utilizing with Parallel Extensions for .NET 3.5

Second CTP (Community Technology Preview) of Parallel Extension for .NET Framework 3.5 was released on June ( 2 nd ) . This enables utilizing of Parallel Hardware for application developed by .NET developers & improves performance as the numbers of cores and processors increases. With just a little bit of learning programmers can easily exploit the benefits of concurrent programming. Normally application would need parallelism for 2 things. a) Data Parallelism: Enables you to break problems into individual parallel units of work by partitioning data, like arrays, lists, loop iterations, or XML files. b) Task Parallelism: Provides more control over the expression of parallelism, enabling you to divide work based on the way your program's logic is grouped into functions and statements. Parallel Extensions for .NET 3.5 gives 2 flavors for Parallelism. Imperative parallelism : requires explicit calls to be made to begin and wait for work to finish. Declarative Parallelism: Hides ...
