Flash Player 10.1 on Motorola Droid
Similar to the Nexus One demo, Adrian Ludwig shows Flash Player 10.1 running on the Motorola Droid.
Sweet!
This may be timed to coincide with CES 2010 in Las Vegas which begins today.

Flash Player 10.1 Demo on Android 2.1
Today, Google hosted an “Android Press Gathering” where they revealed the detailed of the Google “Nexus One” phone. Shortly thereafter, Adobe posted the following video demonstration of Flash Player 10.1 running on the forthcoming Android 2.1 (coming soon for Nexus One, Droid, so forth):
Looks like it’s running very nicely on the device!
I’ve been using a Motorola Droid, myself, and have been quite pleased with the Android OS.

Adobe AIR 1.5.3 and Flash Player 10.0.42
Following the AIR 2 and Flash Player 10.1 betas last month, comes updates for the current platform runtimes in the form of AIR 1.5.3 and Flash Player 10.0.42.
Most important to my work is the Publisher ID changes in AIR. I’ve have the need to migrate certificates before, so have paid close attention to the changes as outlined by Oliver Goldman. Hopefully, these changes will make things more direct when having to migrate code signing certificates for our apps using a non-computed Publisher ID.
While these are minor updates to end-users, it’s important to note that Adobe does update the platform runtimes a number of times each year to address bugs and small feature enhancements. They do take good care of their platform and their users!

Flash Builder: Wrong Debug Player!
Every once in a while, Flash Builder loses its mind when I attempt to debug a project and tells me that I don’t have a debug version of Flash Player on my machine. I do… FB is just crazy. Right.
Sometimes it’s looking at the player running in the browser, in which case I just need to perform a debug player install from:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Other times, it’ll be pissed off about the player used by Flash Professional at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\Players
I’ve found a pretty foolproof (for me) way to fix this secondary problem. Just grab FlashPlayer.exe from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder {such and such release}\player\win
Copy this into the Flash Pro location, restart FB, and you should be good.
Don’t know why this happens from time to time… but it’s happened enough that I feel the need to document it- at least for myself.
