Flash Player 20 playback issue on ActiveX (v20.0.0.228)

[kobo02]

We are using the Flash Player ActiveX in our vb.net application.

As a result of updates to 20.0.0.228 version of Flash Player, it is not possible to play.

The swf path is "file:///e:/movie/test.swf" or "file://server/movie/test.swf".

This works with previous version of Flash Player, but latest version (20.0.0.228) cannot play.

The swf path is "e:\movie\test.swf" or "\\server\movie\test.swf".

This works both of version.

I want to know whether this be fixed in the bug, or whether a specification.

I hope to be able to play all kinds path, include "file:///e:/movie/test.swf".

I confirm this bug has been fixed in beta version 20.0.0.279 on Windows 7.

We have a new test build that we believe fixes the following three bugs:
