Problem: manually installing the Flash Player plugin in newer versions of Chrome doesn't work

Problem description: After switching systems, I found that I’d moved to the new Chrome 6. I wanted to use the debug version of the flashplayer plugin, so I installed “flashplayer 10.1 plugin debug” as usual. Once it was installed, I restarted Chrome and opened http://www.flashplayerversion.com/ and saw that the version was the latest one — but it wasn’t the debug version. That struck me as odd. Later I went into the Control Panel and uninstalled the flash plugin outright, but Chrome could still play flash! It turns out that both Chrome 5 and Chrome 6 ship with flashplayer built in, and it’s the latest version. That’s a good thing in itself, but for flash developers what’s needed is the debug build of fp, so you have to find a way to swap Chrome’s built-in fp for the debug version.
