    Why can’t you use a new version?

    You can't.  If your Flex code is running [in a browser]; then by definition, Flash Player must be installed.  If Flash Player doesn't exist, then there is no way to ever run your code [in a browser].

    Most people use JavaScript libraries, such as SWFObject to determine if the Flash Player is installed.

    Hi Jayagopal,

    You can have a check for this in the Javascript. If you notice the html wrapper file in which your main swf is embedded the javascript is included which will have a check for Flash Player detection.

    The application will automatically prompt the user if appropriate version of FlashPlayer is not installed.

    Thanks,
