Viewing output of Ant build in FireFox
Hola,
This is my first time posting to the mailing list. I currently work for a
company that primarily does their development in Apache Flex. On my work
machine I run Windows with Adobe FlashBuilder and all the bells and
whistles that entail that. However. I'm a big Linux fan and would love to
get something akin to my development environment on Windows working in
Ubuntu. I digress...
I have successfully installed the Apache Flex SDK on Ubuntu; that is to
say, I can run the compiler, run my Ant build scripts successfully, etc. In
Windows, I normally view the resulting index.html file in FireFox; on
Ubuntu, FireFox prompts me with the message "To view this page ensure that
Adobe Flash Player version 11.8.0 or greater is installed." However, when I
visit https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ the Flash component on
the page works and it tells me "You have version 11,2,202,378 installed".
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Sean Baskin

On Linux, you now have the option of using Google Chrome to get the latest
version of the Flash Player:

Thanks,

Hello Sean,
the problem is that 11.2 is the latest cross-browser plugin for Linux, like
with many other things Adobe decided that Linux is not interesting enough
for them and just dropped the support. You can google a bit about that if
you like, there is some reasoning behind it. The only officially supported
version runs in Google Chrome, so AFAIK, if you want a newer FP you need to
use that one.
Regards,
Martin

11.8.0 is a later build than 11,2,202,378. So while you have flash
installed, you don't have the version required by whatever you are building.
This page should give you some guidance.
