Flash CS 3 needs Flash Player 9,0,45,0 +
July 6th, 2007
Just a word of advice, even though Adobe says that the Flash Player 9’s penetration rate its over 80%, thats only half of the story.
After doing the 2007 Draft Tracker for MLB I discovered that Flash CS 3 requires a special version of the Flash Player (9,0,45,0 to be exact). This isn’t a problem for most people, but if you are doing a project for a high profile company on one of the busiest days of the year, you may not want to use AS 3 from Flash CS 3. I found that out the hard way!
It looks like Flex 2 is cool however, since it came out for the original release of the 9 Player. When I asked Adobe what the issue is, I never got a straight answer. If you are on the bleeding edge, make sure you use swfobject and have it detect for “9,0,45,0″ along with express install and you should be fine. Make sure you use “,” and not “.” for the version or the auto detect will not work on the mac.
