Flex - change browser

Question

How to change which browser uses Flex when starting my project?

Answer 1

This is in Flex Builder> Preferences> General> Web Browser

Answer 2

Or, if you are using Eclipse, this window> Settings> General> Web Browser

Answer 3

I uninstalled Internet Explorer from my Windows 7 machine and set Google Chrome as the default browser. Adobe Flex 3 exhibits the following behavior:

Use internal web browser -> Flex tries to start iexplore.exe, which fails.

Use an external web browser, by default System Web Browser → Flex tries to start iexplore.exe, which fails. (Note that the default browser is Chrome)

Use an external web browser, Chrome (manually added) → Flex launches Chrome correctly.

So, if someone had the same problem, just add Chrome manually. It is located in C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe .
