Where is the debugger or host application running?

• Localhost
• Other Machine

Enter IP Address: _________________________

Are you experiencing this pop up every time you open a website that has a Flash banner, or Flash movie of some type playing? Surely, you have tried to click on Localhost … only to see the popup reappear again. You can enter an IP address in the text input box, but the popup still reappears again. Then after a couple attempts and you select to not connect or ignore, the popup goes away … until the next page you open with another Flash movie playing.

So, why is this happening? It could be a couple reasons. You may not have downloaded and successfully installed the Adobe Flash Player 9, or it may have been a corrupt install. I have Firefox, IE, Chrome and Safari browsers installed and dealt with this perplexing and persistent problem until I went back to the Adobe site and downloaded and installed the browser-specific Adobe Flash Player 9 plugins.

The Plugin that addresses IE browsers and Active X can be downloaded here.

For Firefox and the Netscape/Mozilla flavored browsers you can download the Plugin here.
