The Flash player got an update today and there is also a Flash Debug player update. I always have a problem finding the debug player download page. So I thought I’d share in case I’m not the only one.

Side note: I use FireFox as my primary browser but I use IE as the default player to publish my Flex apps in. Debugging crashes the browser fairly often, at least I do, and this way I don’t have to wait for those tabs to open up again on startup. Plus, FireFox isn’t the quickest launching browser by a long shot.

It seems as though the post I wrote about the NFL.com switching to Flash video has become the de facto support page for people having trouble watching their videos. There are 30 comments so far mostly about people having trouble getting the videos to play. Even some of the NFL.com developers have commented there.

A few readers who have reported issues found that they were able get everything working properly by shutting down McAfee security. Here’s what a reader reported:

If you have comcast w/ the McAfee security here’s how to fix it. Click “Internet and network” click “configure” on the right side. Under web browsing protection click “advanced”. Simply uncheck the “block advertisements” box and hit apply.

I haven’t had any issues myself but I don’t have McAfee security. From what I’ve been able to piece together the issue lies with the communication between the HTML navigation and the Flash video player they built.

If you’re having trouble then hopefully this will take care of it.
