How to specify 32 bit flash player to run on win 7 64 bit

Question

I have win7 64 bit on my desktop and win7 32 bit on my laptop. I recently upgraded my php to 5.6.2 and amfphp to 2.2.2. As a result I had to modify several AS3 scripts to access my data. I got the scripts working on my 32 bit laptop, but they looked "fractured" on 64 bit.

I know that the 64 bit flash player installer now installs both a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version of flash player.

Is there a way to specify that these AS3 scripts are to use the 32 bit flash player when launching with 32 bit Firefox on a 64 bit system?

Thanks for researching this issue. Apparently I'll have to wait a while to see if Firefox is going to be able to handle my animations. I'm going to wait for the latest mods to Firefox to be completed before I mark your answer correct.

No problem.

You can verify my assertion today by downloading Firefox Beta, here:

Hi,

The bitness of the plug-in or host browser shouldn't affect how your content renders. There *is* a difference in the rendering pipeline and plug-in sandboxes between 32 and 64-bit Firefox, and I suspect that your problems may lie there (if it's really 32 vs 64 bit that's the differentiator -- it might be something entirely different).

A link to something I could actually look at would be really useful. Screenshots might give me a frame of reference, but this is really hard to answer in the abstract.

Thanks!
