Hi

It is possible to publish to flash player 9 in Flash CC. Most of the flash ads still require flash player 9 as the highest version to publish for.

thanks

Andrew

      10.3 is as far back as you can publish unless you add an older playerglobal swc to the publishing options.

      omfg, the new 2015 release does not support this workaround. ironically google now allows swfs up to flash version 10.1, but flash cc 2015 only lets you publish down to 10.3 (yeah, of course...). so if anyone has an idea how to fix this §%&# again on the new release please let us know. thanks in advance!

      Install Flash CS6 through Creative Cloud.

      Open Creative Cloud. Scroll to not installed apps. Above them there is bar. Click blue text on the right and choose "Previous version". Then click "Install button" relating to Flash and choose CS6.

      Watch how to do it. Click link below.

      Seems that every time I come to the adobe forums, it is to deal with some feature that is broken or doesn't work as expected.

      Latest version of adobe software ( which I've basically been forced to upgrade to ) ... can't use it on google ad network without modification. Kudos Adobe, Kudos.

      Hi

      Hopefully this has helped a few people with this issue. I just had to add this to a new install of Flash CC and thought I would make a github repo with the xml files for 9 10.1 10.2 in it and some rough instructions.

      Check it out. Please raise any issues on it over time. But I still hope adobe will add this themselves.

        Have tried different version of flex sdk like you can with flash builder. But that didnt seem to work.

        Have also tried older version of the air sdk but only version 3.6.0.6090 and higher are supported.

        you're wrong.

        i see no problem with actionscript unless i try to use something not available in fp 9 (like the native JSON class that was added with fp 11) which confirms i'm using fp 9 to publish.  so yes, there's alot of code that would work in fp11 that would not work with fp 9.  if you expect anything else, you have some fundamental misunderstanding.

        anyway, the solution is the same as i already mentioned, more than once.  here are the file paths on my computer (which are the default paths):

        C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\Players\FlashPlayer9_0.xml

        C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\FP9\playerglobal.swc

        and i attached two files so you don't have to find fp9 playerglobal.swf and you don't need to create a fp 9 xml.


        Thank you kglad for this solution... Looks like my playerglobal.swc was different to yours. So now we only have to bring adobe to the point that they implement it...
