Yes, that would be expected, since Adobe released this security update for Flash Player 9 (Flash Player 9,0,124,0) and not for previous versions.

This is not a bug, 9.0.124.0 - The developers of this specific site will need to implement the required changes to comply with the security update.

“Adobe released a security update for Flash Player 9 (Flash Player 9,0,124,0) on April 8, 2008, to strengthen the security of Adobe Flash Player for our customers and end users, and to provide further mitigations for previously disclosed vulnerabilities.

Customers are advised to review the following Flash Player updates to determine if their content will be impacted, and to begin implementing necessary changes immediately to help ensure a seamless transition.

If any of the following situations apply, you should read this article in detail:

• You use sockets or XMLSockets, regardless of the domain to which you are connecting

• You use addRequestHeader or URLRequest.requestHeaders in any network API call when sending or loading data cross-domain

or

You provide access to content on remote domains as a web service provider

• You have SWFs that are exported for Flash Player 7 (SWF7) or earlier that communicate with the hosting HTML by any means

• You use "javascript:" through network APIs to communicate outside a SWF”

Hi HBK911,

I do see the issue with http://www.netgame.com/ when using 9.0.124.0. All previous versions of FP work.

This is most likely related to the security changes made with the latest Flash Player version 9.0.124.0.

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player9_security_update.html

We would need to work with the developers of http://www.netgame.com/ in order to help them understand the security restrictions and how to resolve this issue.

Darren,
I am having the same problem (click install and nothing happens) Can you please help me?
