[Flashcoders] Player Sub-Version Differences?
Can anyone point me to a resource that describes the differences between sub-versions of the Flash Player? This information is key to fixing a complex Flash project I inherited. I need to know what changes were made to the Flash Player between versions 7.0.19.0 and 7.0.61.0. In the project I inherited, web-based data exchange between Flash and the server works in 7.0.19.0 but not in 7.0.61.0. I don't have any intermediate versions to test. I've read everything I could find on the Macromedia site pertaining to security changes in Flash 7. I've tried adding cross-domain xml files and modifying security (allow domain) settings in the swf's, but no luck so far (possibly my syntax was wrong, though). I'm hoping that learning the differences between these two subversions will provide a solution. Mike Chambers (or other MM reps) are you out there? thanks, Marc Hoffman ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Hi Marc... have you seen the Flash Player 7 Release Notes? http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/7/releasenotes.html Here are the Security Alerts which drew the later updaters: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/security/security_zone/#flashplayer The 7.0.61 version was released a few months back for older operating systems which could not support the current 8.x Players, such as Win95, and MacOS Classic: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/security/security_zone/mpsb05-07.html But that .61 version was for bounds-checking during input validation, and I don't know of anything which changed there for domain-checking. In the project I inherited, web-based data exchange between Flash and the server works in 7.0.19.0 but not in 7.0.61.0... I've tried adding cross-domain xml files and modifying security (allow domain) settings in the swf's, but no luck so far (possibly my syntax was wrong, though). I'm hoping that learning the differences between these two subversions will provide a solution. That sounds odd to me. Can you set up even a simple connection in the balking browser with a new test file? (This could help rule out anything in the larger, older file.) Does that balking browser change with the current Player (assuming it has a recent operating system)? It's not just one browser on one system where this has occurred, is it...? jd -- John Dowdell .

Thank you, John! Your suggestions look promising for sorting this out. -Marc At 11:27 AM 1/30/2006, you wrote: Marc Hoffman wrote: I need to know what changes were made to the Flash Player between versions 7.0.19.0 and 7.0.61.0.
