Thanks for your reply.
My point is that I am not using any Flash Player 10 features, my dev & build
environment dont have Flash player 10 installed, I am building using the 3.1
SDK and the project is configured to target 9.0.124. The output swf passes QA
for Flash Player 9. The 'Flash Detection Wrapper' is given the vars that the
required version is 9.0.124. Only some users see the Flash Player 10 required
dialog. Until today I had not seen this dialog (I have 9.0.124 installed) and
it was based on a trivial change.
To test again I reverted back to the index.template.html to the one supplied in
Flex Builder and no Flash Player 10 required dialog appears anymore so I am not
sure what is going on.
I think I will look into using swfobject instead.
Thanks,
- Ivo

I think the detection script checks to see if you have the required version.
If you don't, then it will tell you that you need the most recently released
version of Flash regardless of what version the wrapper actually requires.
This does cause confusion form a troubleshooting standpoint, but I'm guessing
the reason is that adobe did this is that users would be more confused if it
told them they needed flash 9 and gave them flash 10. Better to confuse the
developers than the end user?

Hello all,
I had been getting reports from users that my widget swf was displaying the
dialog "This content requires Adobe Flash Player 10" but I could not reproduce
it. I run and develop with Flash Player 9 installed. Other users that only had
Flash player 9 installed also could run it without any problems.
This morning I did a few changes to the widget, basically I embedded image
resources at compile time rather than load them over the web at runtime. On the
next debug run after the changes I started seeing the same dialog. I rolled
back the changes but the dialog stays. The only way I was able to get the
dialog to dissapear was to modify the html-template/ index.template. html,
remove the 'Flash Player Version Detection' Javascript and have just the embed
code with the proper template tokens. The index.template. html tokens for
${version_major} ${version_minor} ${version_revision} always output 9 0 124 as
expected. Not sure what criteria the 'Flash Player Version Detection'
javascript is following.
I am building my app using Flex Builder but its a Pure AS3 project, only
Sprites and the Graphic object are used and the SDK is 3.1.
I have distributed the html with the ''Flash Player Version Detection' along
with my widget and I am now wondering how many users are seeing the dialog and
not bothering to run the update.
Is the lesson here not to use the 'Flash Player Version Detection' that ships
with Flex Builder ? or am I running into a bug?
Thanks,
- Ivo
