In order to meet the largest penetration of users with a flash player downloaded onto their machines, I have been tasked to Publish with Version 6 settings. However, I am creating my movies in Flash 8.
Are there any known draw backs to publishing with Version settings later than the Flash you are building in?
I.E. Component failure? Visual Quality? AS 1.0 v AS 2.0?
a client asked me to incorporate a flash version check in a flash application i made for him.it should read something like: "you have flash player 10.x.x.x.x.x.x.x the current version is 10.1.x.x.x.x.x.x"the user veriosn is easy to get with Capabilities.versionbut is there an url on adobe's site to get the string of the current downloadable version from?
View 6 RepliesHow can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)! One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?

I identify my current installed debug version? Basically, I am using Flex 3, for past 2-3 days whenever I launch any Project or debug it, I get the message box saying "Flex Builder requires a more recent version of Flash Player." It says my curent FP as 9.0.115.0 and debug version as 9.0.45.0. However, my actual FP version if FP 10.0.22.87. I don't understand why this confussion! I don't know how can I know my actual version of Debug player.
View 2 RepliesIn some cases, such as what my client wants - Flash 6 and Flash 7 players behave slightly differently... a very annoying thing at times.Now, what I need to be able to do is to detect what version of Flash Player the user has. This will be done while my flash application is playing and then run the appropriate part of the function I am writing.Any way to detect what version of Flash Player is running from within the Flash Player?
View 3 RepliesI use different versions of FMS (3.0 3.5 4.0 to 4.5) to muti-point publishing?Use existing old ones for most streams, and use 4.5 for iOS apps.
The answer is Im guessing probably yes, as I was able to multi-point publish to different big company's new FMS (4?) from one of our FMS 3.0 machine. But just to make sure before I make investment? Also Air 3 sdk based iOS app now can connect to FMS 4.5 and play h264 live video stream on ios devices over the appstore approved http-live-streaming protocol right? Just to be clear

View 3 RepliesI've been working on an xml gallery. The website scales according to the browser window. Some of my work is fine lineart and any scaling seems to cause a lot of aliasing. If I publish it with Flash Player 7 the scaling is fine.This may sound like a naive question but what are the cons with publishing a portfolio with an older Flash Player?
View 2 RepliesI'm building a portfolio site. I have buttons to go to previous/next frames and I have all the buttons on the timeline. Each instance is properly labeled and referenced in the actionscript. I get no errors when I publish in 9, but when published in 10 I get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I'm not sure why this is happening because there isn't a null reference in my mind. The button which I reference in the code is on that exact same frame. I think the error is that it's looking for the button from the previous frame, which puzzles me because I've moved on to the next frame and I don't know why it'd be trying to reference that. Anyone know of DisplayObject differences from 9 to 10 that would be causing me these troubles?
I want to use getUrl to display a javascript alert. I've found an example that works perfectly, by using getUrl("javascript:alert('hello world')"); But that example is published for Flash Player 6, and the rest of my movie requires FP8. And if I go to publish settings, and select Flash Player 8 as target, the javascript is no longer executed.
It's not about the getUrl changes in Flash Player 9, I've also tested with Flash Player 8. If you want to try for yourself, the example I'm talking about is from [URL]..

When I try-out in Flash everything is OK and the HTML-page is also OK in every browser there is.

I would like to find out if there is a way for a message to pop up on my website if the user has Flash Player version lower than 10.1. If the version 10.1 or higher (in the future) no message should come up. The message should prompt a user to update to the Flash Player version 10.1. My entire site is in Flash and I am using AS3. So I am guessing I should implement an AS3 code on the first frame of the script layer. Does anyone know what would be this code?
View 9 RepliesI am having the same problem as a lot of other folks. I have searched through this and other forums and nobody seems to have an answer - at least I can't find one. The set up is this: I tried to view a video - received a message that I need to download the latest version of Flash Player - did so and everything seemed normal - tried the video again and got the same message. I have tried everything suggested on the official Flash Support page as well as this and several other forums and nothing changes.
I haven't seed this tidbit in other threads and it is probably worth noting that when I go to the page on the Adobe site where you can check which version is installed - it says no version is installed even though it apears normally in the Programs and Features window and can be removed from there.

If trace statement says: Your Flash Player version is older than the current version 9, please update. How to start auto update of Flash Player using Actionscript?
I'd like to know if it is possible to enable/disable some piece of code according to Flash Player version in ActionScript 3.
Let's say; I have a custom class customClass that uses flash.media.Microphone. The Microphone class has a property isSupported which is available for Flash Player version 10.1 and above (as stated in the documentation). I implement this property in my customClass... so:
I need something like this (by checking with the built-in Capabilities.version):
if (version >= 10.1) {
trace(_mic.isSupported); //this will throw an error if the debug version is not 10.1 or later
} else {
doSmthElse();
}
My application requires Adobe Flash player to install. So if you are trying to install application and you have not installed Adobe Flash player yet, it automatically suggests you install Flash player. So by default this application needs version 10.2 so it tries to install it, but adobe blocks it, because it says that I am trying to install an old version of flash player, so how can I avoid this blocking, so I don't need to install the newest version of Flash player each time? How can I automatically install required version of Flash player?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to build a preloader that detects the user's Flash Player version, and then loads the matching content: if the user has Flash Player 11, Stage3D content should be loaded.
The problem I'm running into is that a preloader that is compiled for Flash Player 10 can't display Flash Player 11 content, even if it is running in Flash Player 11.
Is this true? Are there solutions other than detecting the player version in JavaScript?
Does Adobe have any policy/trend to release debugger version of Flash Player along with the regular release versions?
View 1 RepliesRecently, when I tried to show the results of my work (some Flex app) to my boss, i was quite suprised that application which run perfectly well on my pc, on my boss' pc wasn't displayed properly (the only thing visible was a default grey background). After 3h of trying absolutely everything, finally the app showed up when I changed his Flash Player version from standard one to debug (both was v. 10.0.22.87). Does anyone know what can be the reason of this (any compiler flag or sth). Forcing my boss to installing debug FP was quite ok, but forcing final user of the app to do so is unacceptable.
PS: By showing I mean deploying to Tomcat on my pc and giving my boss a link to the app. We both use Win XP. Also when I installed debug FP for Netscape browsers and standard FP for IE (on my pc) the result is the same - working in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and grey background in IE. I've compiled both as a Debug and as a Release. I'm using Flash Develop 3.0.2 RTM After stripping my app to sth like this - it still works only in debug FP

I know I can look at plugins and their version under Firefox, but how can I tell if I'm running the debug version of the Flash Player?
