I recently updated to the latest version of Flash Player 9 (debug version), and after doing so I started getting the following errors in flex builder when trying to build in debug mode:

“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.dll

Flex Builder cannot locate the required version of the Flash Player. You may need to install Flash Player 9.0 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?”

I first tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player, which didn’t really do too much for me. Then I turned to my trusty sidekick google and started digging through forum posts until I found a solution that worked for me. The problem is this: Flex Builder was looking for the file npswf32.dll in the “C:/ProgramFiles/Mozilla Firefox/plugins” directory; however, Adobe installs this dll file in the “C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash” directory. All I had to do was copy the NPSWF32.dll file over to the firefox plugins directory and everything returned to normal..
