Install Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 in Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Maybe others?

Install wine

apt-get install wine

Install wine tricks

apt-get install winetricks

Set wine to run in 32-bit mode (Append the following lines to .[bash|zsh]rc)

export WINEPREFIX='/home/user/.wine32'
export WINEARCH='win32'

Install vcrun2005

winetricks vcrun2005

Install java-jre-6 for windows (Available from oracle use the x86 offline installer)

wine jre-6u45-windows-i586.exe

Boot to windows or a VM and install FlashBuilder 4.6 on Windows. Activate Trial or enter product key

Boot back to ubuntu or shutdown VM Mount your Windows file system or with the VM open copy over the contents of 'C:\program files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6' to '~/.wine32/drive_c/program files'

Start Flash Builder 4.6 wine ~/.wine32/drive_c/program\ files/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/eclipse/eclipse.exe

At this point you should have a working install of Adobe Flash Builder.

Configure a works space and under preferences configure your Flex 4.6.0 sdk to point to 'C:\program files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0'

You should now be able to debug a program, however you will want to download and install the latest firefox under wine, and also install the latest Flash Debug Player under wine`

Just

wine firefox-installer.exe

wine flash-debug-player.exe

Now in the flash builder preference change your default web browser to firefox and everything should work with full debug support.
