The latest version is always a good idea :) The latest version includes the latest feature set, security updates and etc. The only reason to choose an older version is to specifically target a particular environment that might be locked into an older version.
It's generally pretty easy to have the latest version now that there is automatic updating of flash player and inclusion of the plugin in modern browsers by default. -----Original Message----- From: maven apache <apachemav...@gmail.com> To: users@flex.apache.org Sent: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 9:14 PM Subject: question about the flex installer Hi: I am new in flex, and I download the Apache Flex® SDK Installer 2.6 . However I am not exactly sure what does the `Select flash player version` mean: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1xmf8j5hyl8yeue/flex.png Does it mean that if I choose version 11.8, then all the application I created will be run and only run on 11.8? People who have flash player lower than 11.8 will not access my application? If this is true, I think choose the latest version is not a good idea. So I wonder which version is better?
