Just about every new feature is gated by SWF version
So true, just did a test and wasn't able to make it work without compiling
with 11.5 :P

Just about every new feature is gated by SWF version. Some legacy code may
have been relying on the lack of debug information in the
Error.getStackTrace() in a release build. In fact, I haven't tried it, but
it could break my hacks described here:

Yes, you are right, it's not an API "function". It's more an "internal
functionality" of the Flash Player. But I am not sure if you are right. I
have
tested this for my own and the debug with release player only worked when
I
compiled against 11.5.
Maybe someone else can confirm.

AFAIK, this feature is only about the stack trace of errors in the
"release
Flash Player >= 11.5", nothing is relative to any API to use, so, the SDK
is
not implied and you app can be compile with any version, having 11.5
release
player installed is sufficient.
Tell me if I missed something.

AFAIK, the 4.5.1A targets Flash Player 10.2
So the minimum required FP version of your customers is 10.2 and you can
use
only the API of 10.2 (no debug trace for release versions). If the user
has
11.5 installed it will only use 10.2 API because you compiled your app in
this version.

Does this mean that an app that I compile with the default settings for
4.5.1A will not benefit from this stacktrace availability, even if the
user
has 11.5 installed? Or is having 11.5 release player installed,
sufficient?
We have an extensive error reporting system in our app that would
benefit
greatly from this... however forcing users to upgrade their flash player
is
not an option as our user base contains many people with legacy
browsers.

Download the current SDK.
Just edit the framework/flex-config.xml file and change this lines:
<!-- Specifies the minimum player version that will run the compiled
SWF.
-->
<target-player>11.1</target-player>
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->
<swf-version>14</swf-version>
To:
<!-- Specifies the minimum player version that will run the compiled
SWF.
-->
<target-player>11.5</target-player>
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->
<swf-version>18</swf-version>
You also need to download the the 11.5 playerglobal.swc from here:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11
_5.swc
And copy it to:
/frameworks/libs/player/11.5/playerglobal.swc
(Thanks again Justin McLean for this explanation.)

Can you target 11.5 in Flash Builder(4.7)
Does this automatically set the swf version to 18 or is that something
else ?

HI,
Just be aware that you need to compile your application with 11.5 (and
swf version set to 18) for this to take effect.
Thanks,
Justin
