How to install flash player 11.2 and Air 3.2 on FLash CS5.5

Question

So how I do that - couldn't find any info on adobe's site.. Thanks

Update: Here is what I've done:

downloaded playerglobal11_2.swc from Adobe
created folder Adobe/Adobe Flash CS5.5/Common/Configuration/Players/FP11.2, renamed the downloaded swc to playerglobal.swc and put it inside that folder

inside Adobe/Adobe Flash CS5.5/Common/Configuration/Players duplicated FlashPlayer10_2.xml, called it FlashPlayer11_2.xml and edited following lines

<player id="FlashPlayer11.2" version="13" asversion="3">
<name>Flash Player 11.2</name>
<playerDefinitionPath as2="$(UserConfig)/Classes/FP10;$(UserConfig)/Classes/FP9;$(UserConfig)/Classes/FP8;$(UserConfig)/Classes/FP7" as3="$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/FP11.2/playerglobal.swc" />

Now when I start flash I can choose to publish to Flash Player 11.2 from drop down menu, when I publish it (ctrl+F12) in browser with this code on first keyframe:

import flash.display.Stage3D;

var stage3d = new Stage3D();   

var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.color = 0xFF0000;
my_fmt.size = 32;
my_fmt.bold = true;
my_fmt.font  = "Arial";

var textF: TextField = new TextField;
textF.defaultTextFormat = my_fmt;
textF.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
textF.text = "Hello Flash Player: " + Capabilities.version + "\n" + stage3d;

addChild(textF);

I get this error in debugger:

ArgumentError: Error #2012: Stage3D$ class cannot be instantiated.

Obviously I missed something or done wrong, because I can't access FP11 API.

hey when you work it out i want to know iv been at this for a week also tried other 3d engines, Away3d-4.0 / Alternativa 8 and i cant either one started, i did all the above steps as what is written all over the net but no results. — joshua

I've just ran into the same problem. I realize that the error #2012 is a runtime error, so it means compilation was ok and therefore your setup should be working. The problem lies in the player side of things. Here's how I solved it:

Make sure you update your flash players from here. If your web browsers already have the updated version, test in your web browser using Ctrl+F12. Otherwise, you need to update your flash debug player: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
The code given is no longer valid. The Stage3D reference must be retrieved from the stage.
```
var stage3d = stage.stage3Ds[0];
```

For debugging purposes, you can try this code instead, which will print the version and error message if there are problems.

import flash.display.Stage3D;

var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.color = 0xFF0000;
my_fmt.size = 32;
my_fmt.bold = true;
my_fmt.font  = "Arial";

var textF: TextField = new TextField;
textF.defaultTextFormat = my_fmt;
textF.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;  
textF.width = this.stage.stageWidth;
textF.wordWrap = true;
textF.multiline = true;
addChild(textF);


try
{
    var stage3d:Stage3D = stage.stage3Ds[0];
    textF.text = "Hello Flash Player: " + Capabilities.version + "\n" + stage3d;
}
catch(e:Error)
{
    textF.text = "Hello Flash Player: " + Capabilities.version + "\n" + e.toString();
}
