I just finished switching my development environment from PC to a new Intel Mac. I also had the issue with the debug player not playing, and I also didn't find any separate download for the Intel debug player on Adobe's site...so I followed their alternative suggestion and re-installed Flex Builder (beta). The Flex Builder installer runs a Flash Debug player installation at the end of the flex install, and that worked. They really ought to release a stand-alone installer for Intel Macs, though. I followed the link from the error thrown in the Power-PC installer but it lead to the non-debugger (release) version of the flash player for intel mac.
Also, another note, I noticed this time during the flex builder install that it failed when trying to write a file to my home directory. I suspect this might be a similar problem to the Photoshop CS3 Beta install issue - my home directory is encrypted using FileVault, and the CS3 beta install workaround was to disable FileVault... Two things I noticed immediately when starting development in the new Mac environment: a) I can't seem to break my panels across multiple displays, as I could in the Windows PC environment. Anyone know how to do this on Mac? b) The Mac version seems smarter! It picked up an error in my project that wasn't getting picked up in the PC environment (missing import statement). I suspect the reason is that the project is huge...maybe it's a memory or buffer issue or something (my PC is quite old while the Mac is really souped up). --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "aspentreemedia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I gave it another try on the download page but I get the error that > I'm trying to install the PPC version and not the universal binary for > Intel Macs.
