I want to replace my existing browser plugin Flash Player with the debug version, and update to FP11 while I'm at it. I also want to install the debug version of the projector player and make it the default player for SWF files outside of the browser.
First the browser plugin version. I've downloaded the installer from the official site, but I'm not sure what to do with the contents. There is a usr
folder, and I presume that I am to write the contents of this to /usr
. There is also a file called
libflashplayer.so
, and I have no idea what to do with that.
For download for the projector player has confused me further because it only contains one file: flashplayerdebugger
. I don't know what to do with this.
If there is a way to install these softwares through apt-get or the Software Center I would love to hear about it, I have only found solutions for the standard player, but otherwise could someone please tell me what to do with these files?
Update
Ok, so I've figured out that if I dump the flashplayerdebugger
file into /usr/lib/ I can point Eclipse at it and compile and test SWFs as expected from inside Eclipse. But how can I set that application as the default player when I select an SWF in Nautilus?
