Change integrated player in OS X Flash IDE?

[titohov]

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the integrated flash player in CS3 OS X?

The stand-alone flash player in OS X is actually quite fast, but the integrated one in the IDE is lagggggggggy.

I know there's a "flash switcher" app available on the PC that supposedly does this, but I have not found anything for the mac.

It might be laggy because the IDE player runs your code in debug mode.

Here's a work-around I just discovered...

Instead of doing a regular test-movie to preview your swf, publish the movie to a projector file. I setup a new keyboard shortcut to make it easy.

This will compile the movie as usual, but then embed it in a projector file. There's obviously added file size now but that's fine since it's just for local previewing/testing.

This method might actually be better than replacing the integrated plugin anyway....since you still have the option of using the laggy integrated player when you do need debugging features.
