Just go to your bin-debug folder, right-click the .swf and choose 'Open With'. Then click 'Choose Program...' and point it to the place where your debug player is. You downloaded the Flash Player 10 zip file, right? Then the path should be something like 'C:\[downloads]\Players\Debug\FlashPlayer.exe'. Once you've run your app like this, Flex Builder will find the right player in the future. Be carefull when you reinstall the Flash player though; it might override that setting. I looked in the FlexBuilder preferences to see if I could set this path manually, but it seems like you can only do this for the profiler, not for the debugger :(
