I am new to Flex development. I got an error when i tried to run the application as Flex Builder cannot locate the require version of flash player and saying you might need to install flash player 9.

I am using Flex Builder 3 with SDK 3.2 and having latest flash player of version 11.1.162

Even having latest version of flash player why i could not able to run the application?

To run successfully what should i need to do?

Thanks in advance

Can you show us a screenshot of the error? Are you trying to debug w/ a non-debug version of the Flash Player? – JeffryHouser

im getting error message as "Flex Builder cannot locate the required version of Flash Player. You might need to install Flash Player 9 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?" – sureshd
I get this error only when I try to run Flex application inside the internal Flash Builder web browser. Changing the browser to external usually fix it for me. – 2DH

I got the above mentioned problem, when i have setting as "default system web browser" check box selected under Windows->Preferences->General->Web Browser in flex builder. Now i changed my settings by selecting the appropriate web browser from the list in which i want to run my application., in my case i selected Internet Explorer. After performing this i am able to run my application without any problem.

I know this is an old thread, but this solution worked for me. Do a search for NPSWF32.DLL and locate the most recent match on the list... on my system that was in 

C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Resources.

Copy that file to the folder it is complaining it can't find it in.

c:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\

or

c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins\

You might need to create the Plugins directory. Once you've done that, it should stop complaining.
