HI, > 1) Apache Flex 4.8 and target-player option > I've read in the Adobe Flex 4.6 docs, that the minimum value for the > -target-player option is 11.1 with that version of the SDK: > http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7ee0.html
It possible to compile the Flex 4.6 SDK for any version of the the flash player 10.3 and up. I've done some very basic testing with versions 10.3, 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3. I was waiting for the full mustella tests to be donated before reapply the patches I made in the patches branch of the SDK to the new build files. > Wouldn't it be technically possible to compile a pure AS3 application > for a target player with a lower version number? Yep you could target 10.2 as well. From memory there an issue in SystemManager that stops you from compiling with 10.2. > I assume that the 4.8 release will require Flash Player 11.1 as well, is that > right? The parity release yes but very shortly after that it would be anything form 10.3 and up. > I remember that Alex Harui said that the SWF file format version has > not changed with recent updates of the SDK.

It best to match to the player global version you are using. > 3) playerglobal.swc > Which versions of the playerglobal.swc can be used with Apache Flex 4.8? All of them (well very soon) see above. > 4) FP 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 adoption > Does anyone have any up-to-date numbers on the Flash Player adoption > rate for these versions of FP?

Latest "official" stats from Adobe were June 2011 (which is obviously out of date): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplatformruntimes/statistics.displayTab3.html Anyone know of anything more recent?
