Re: FLASH: Sorting out Flash 3 / Flash 4 conflicts?

[Erik [gearik] Mattheis]

My story:


Installed full version of Flash 4 demo on partition that had 8.1 and Flash

3 (w/Generator) on it. At one time this partition had the Dreamweaver 2.0

demo on it, and I believe there were still some of the invisible Macromedia

demo files like "Pocohantus Font" and "inControl Panel".


Wouldn't work


Trashed "salesagent"


Wouldn't work


Installed it on a partition with 8.0 on it that had never had a Macromedia

product on it.


Launched fine.


Later, when I had booted off the 8.1 partition, I discovered that Flash 4

then worked.


I'm not sure if I had launched the copy on the 8.0 partition while booted

off the 8.1 partition before it worked.


Check out:

Uses Flash 4's if ... then and GetPosition() functions.
