RE: Flash Player 11.5 - Debug trace in release player
Can you target 11.5 in Flash Builder(4.7) Does this automatically set the swf version to 18 or is that something else ?

RE: Flash Player 11.5 - Debug trace in release player
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.

Re: Flash Player 11.5 - Debug trace in release player
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.

Re: Flash Player 11.5 - Debug trace in release player
@Frédéric 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.

Re: Flash Player 11.5 - Debug trace in release player
Hi, 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? From my testing that's sadly the case. You could detect the version of the flash player and then load a swf compiled with 11.5 if they are using 11.5. (Assuming your app is in the browser). Justin

Re: Flash Player 11.5 - Debug trace in release player
Hi, Is it not working for FB4?? I have upgrade the SDK. If you using the 4.5+ SDK it may work in FB4. You may have some luck using the -targetplayer compiler option rather than the -swf-version compiler option in FB4 using an SDK earlier than 4.5. I've not tried either so if someone does feedback here would be good. Thanks, Justin
