I bought the upgrade. At the time, I think there was a Studio 8 deal that was cheaper if you owned Flash MX 2004 professional (which I did). I then just had to install it, input my Studio 8 serial, Flash MX 2004 serial, and finally Flash MX serial (since I've upgraded since then).
...so, technically, I actually have Studio MX 2004 installed alongside Studio 8. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gresh, Lois" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Flashcoders mailing list'" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 3:57 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] using both flash 8 -and- flash mx 2004 pro/flash 7player Thanks. Very helpful info! Did you have to buy the full install package - or were you able to buy the upgrade and install it alongside mx 1004? -----Original Message----- From: JesterXL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 3:53 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] using both flash 8 -and- flash mx 2004 pro/flash 7player Here's what I did: - installed Flash 8 That's it. MX 2004 and Flash 8 work fine; both are installed on my machine, and I swap to the other one when necessarey. Granted, I could do everything in 8 and save as MX 2004, but sometimes, there is a specific extension or something I only had in MX 2004 and lost the MXP for, so.... I have Flash Player 7 debug installed on IE, and Flash Player 8.5 debug installed on Firefox. I move between them via Flash Plugin Switcher: http://www.kewbee.de/produkte/PluginSwitcher.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gresh, Lois" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 3:48 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] using both flash 8 -and- flash mx 2004 pro/flash 7player We're thinking about upgrading to Flash 8. Our customers are at Flash 6/7 players, but we expect some to start the shift to 8. So - while using Flash 8 and the 8 player, I must simultaneously develop Flash mx 2004 pro applications that run in Flash 6/7 players. A long time ago, I read somewhere on this list that there's a way to install Flash 8 so that you can still develop in MX 2004 pro - ie, run both versions of Flash on the same PC at the same time. Would you guys kindly supply some tips for doing this? Also, do we buy an upgrade, and if so, does the upgrade install overwrite mx 2004 pro? or are we forced to buy a full install package if we need to run both versions of flash at the same time? Also, is there a way to install the Flash 8 player without blowing away my Flash 7 player -- ie, run both players on the same PC at the same time? If so, how have you done this and then...how do you launch Flash 7 player (rather than the also-installed 8) for testing purposes? Ie, if I need to test application A in flash 7, how do I make sure the 7 player launches (rather than the 8 player) when I test application A? Any help/tips appreciated.
