Apache Flex 4.9.0 and minimum Flash Player version

Apache flex 4.9.1 needs minimum Flash Player 11.1.

I read that Apache flex 4.9.0 is working with Flash Player 10.2 is that right? I can't find it anywhere! Where can I download it from?

Thanks!

Solution

  • No need to build the SDK from scratch, Apache Flex 4.9/4.10/4.11 will work with Flash Player 10.2 and above out of the box, 11.1 is not the minimum version. All you need to do is change the configuration file (framework/flex-config.xml) to use 10.2 rather than the default 11.1 and download the correct player global swc. The Apache Flex README has more details instructions on how to do this.

    Alternatively the installer (version 2.7 or above) will allow you the select the Flash Player version.

    That being said some features may work poorly (eg mobile components) and it hasn't been fully tested on Flash Player 10.2.
