Old Flash Players
I’ve recently been assigned the task of rewriting Mapwing Flash Viewer (MFV) to be more optimized and add new features, etc. In the course of this task, it’s become necessary to be able to test the MFV in older versions of Macromedia’s Flash Player (FP).
On my development machine, I use Flash 8 Pro to develop our software. I also have a copy of MX 2004 Pro that I keep around in case I want to test something. The problem is that I didn’t want to have to install the entire development program on machines to just test the MFV in the two versions of FP (and the fact that doing so would be in violation of licenses).
Thankfully, Macromedia (or Adobe, now) provides a repository to download almost all old versions of the FP (including different revisions of major versions) on their website. You’ll find a link, just below.
