Question #5, FP security: Apple announced that with a recent security update FP will be disabled in Safari, if you don't have the most recent version installed. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/05/safari-5-1-7-disables-older-flash-plugins-for-increased-security/
That would mean, if you have FP 10.3 installed in Safari, Safari would not load the SWF, but ask you to upgrade the FP version. And it would mean as well Apple only considers the latest (11.3) version of FP to be secure - although with Apple and Flash you don't know if they want to make it more difficult for users to run Flash. But my questions aimed at the case where you load an SWF targeting FP 10.1 into a FP 11.3 plugin, if that would be less secure than loading the 11.3 version of the application with exactly the same source code. Since both versions of the application would use the same bytecode/file format (SWF10), it shouldn't be a problem. The reason I'm asking is to understand if it would make sense from a security standpoint to provide two versions of your applications to your users, with preference of the 11.3 version over the 10.x version - if the user has the latest FP installed. - Raju
