This has the archives for the debug system you are looking for. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

The zip file will take a bit of time to download because it has more than one version of Flash Player 9 within it. Do not bother with version 8, it seemed to go too far back to work. Once the zip file has downloaded and unpacked, there should be a folder on your desktop named “fp9_archive” and within it should be folders of different versions of Flash Player 9. If you are an Intel Mac user, make sure the installer you try using has “UB” somewhere in the title. This stands for Universal Binary and is the version intended for your computer. The other Mac installer is meant for PPC processors and will alert you that you are trying to run the wrong installer when you attempt to run it. If you are a windows user, then look for .exe in the name. The name SHOULD be winax, since you are using windows. That is all I can help with. I hope it works!

I wonder if this helps. I just read everyone’s comments after doing a web search, having problems with my web and video despite having latest Flash Player and was told I did not have Debug Player. I went to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp8 and found a download for Mac Flash Player 9 Plugin content debugger (intel-based Macs). Is this the thing we are all wanting? Hope so. Cheers

I too have been looking for the OS X debug version as well. Looks like the only way to get it is to get into the private Apollo beta, can someone at Adobe get us into the Apollo beta. I’ll also test creating desktop applications.

Simon: I think what John meant was that people reading this blog may not have access to the Apollo Beta since it’s currently private.

Oops, just read John’s comments. Maybe i shouldn’t mention anything any more regarding private beta matters.

We have just installed the latest version of Flex Builder 2 for the Intel Mac and it has Flash Player version 9.0.28.0. This was downloaded off the Apollo beta site. I hope that is more official

Jensa: Unfortunately that extension is only for Windows at present (which, ironically, has a perfectly good 9.0.28.0 debug player) and I’m using an Intel MacBook Pro running OS X.

Maybe you should try this one? http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2006/10/flash_switcher_for_firefox.php

That should solve your issues… J

John: Thanks - an official answer would be most welcome. At the moment I have to choose between debugging an application and using some of the additional features in version 9.0.28.0, reinstalling the player whenever I switch modes.

I haven't been tracking the release schedule for the various Player packagings myself, and so can't give a quick accurate answer, sorry. I'll pursue this with the Player team in the office on Monday.
