I help clients go faster for less using serverless technologies.
Google Chrome is a nice little browser, fast as hell, and it even bundles and updates its Flash plugin all by itself.
On the plus side, it means anyone running Chrome will always have the most up-to-date version of Flash player so good news for Flash game developers and web developers alike.
On the down side however, the Flash plugin it bundles itself with is the release build and you can’t use the Flash debugger with the release build. This caused a bit of pain for us when we tried to debug our Flash games in Chrome, but luckily we found a way to get around this in two simple steps:
1. open a new tab and type in about:plugins
2. you should see two entries for Shockwave Flash, disable the one in C:\Users\xxx\AppData
And viola!
P.S. you can download the Flash player and debugger here.
Whenever you’re ready, here are 3 ways I can help you:
- Production-Ready Serverless: Join 20+ AWS Heroes & Community Builders and 1000+ other students in levelling up your serverless game.
- Consulting: If you want to improve feature velocity, reduce costs, and make your systems more scalable, secure, and resilient, then let’s work together and make it happen.
- Join my FREE Community on Skool, where you can ask for help, share your success stories and hang out with me and other like-minded people without all the negativity from social media.
