[Potlatch-dev] Flash Player minimum version
Hi all, (This is partly a follow-up to Andy's mail of a few weeks ago!) We had a few reports on help.osm.org of P2 not working (the drag-and-drop icons on the left weren't appearing) and narrowed it down to the users still having Flash Player 10.1 installed. We were only using one 10.2 feature - the native mouse cursors (my fault!). 10.1 is, however, the last version that'll work on OS X PowerPC. It's a small number of machines but not an insignificant one. Ok, I might admit an interest here as my boat Mac is a G5. ;) I've therefore added a version check to the custom cursor code. If the user is still on 10.1, it just won't set the cursors. I've tested it with both 10.1 and 10.3 players and it seems to work fine. Flex 4.5 nominally requires 10.2 but, for now, seems to degrade to 10.1 fine - the main change AIUI is tweaks to the text layout engine. It is however possible that some of the more advanced Spark components may use opcodes not present in 10.1. I suggest we stick with 10.1 until there's a compelling must switch reason to _require_ 11+. If there's any nice-to-haves, like the native cursor support, we can use the version check. cheers Richard ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev

The training course I was running earlier on had a bunch of people having major problems with 10.1 not working. By earlier on do you mean earlier today? Only we started requiring 10.2 about 9am today and that was only reverted back to 10.1 just before 11am when Richard's fixed version of Potlatch was deployed.

We were having trouble About 5 hours ago according to help.openstreetmap.org, which is, roughly, 11am. I've therefore no idea whether we were testing the current or previous build of p2! Bad timing really. Cheers, Andy ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev
