Flash: Setup
Installing Unity for Flash
To view the SWF files that Unity creates, your web browser will need Adobe Flash Player 11, which you can obtain from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. If you have Flash Player already installed, please visit http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html to check that you have at least version 11. Adobe Flash Player 11 introduced the Stage 3D Accelerated Graphics Rendering feature that Unity requires for 3d rendering.
For system requirements see http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html
Flash Player Switcher
Install Adobe AIR. This will allow you to switch between debug (slow) and regular (fast) versions of the Flash Player. The Flash Player Switcher can be obtained from: https://github.com/jvanoostveen/Flash-Player-Switcher/downloads (select FlashPlayerSwitcher.air). Note: it currently supports only Mac OS X.
