1. Re: Change Targeted flash player version?
Dave Merchant Sep 17, 2012 7:26 AM (in response to TBone97)Open the SWF file in a hex editor and look at byte 4. It will contain the FP number targeted (e.g. for FP10 it will be 0x0A).

2. Re: Change Targeted flash player version?
TBone97 Sep 17, 2012 8:00 AM (in response to TBone97)Well...this just got a lot more complicated than it needs to be. How can I tell which byte is byte 4 ?

easypzmaths Sep 17, 2012 8:24 AM (in response to TBone97)You can find a brilliant hex editor, and file handler, here:
http://www.ztree.com/html/ztreewin.htm
It is a powerful program built on xTree Pro.
The hex editor enables you to see the hexadecimal codes inside a file, however my swf is targeted at Flash Player 11 and it says 0x0E which is 14 so I don't think that can be right (debug version).
Hex codes run...
0123456789ABCDEF
So A is 10.
I see...
00000000 43 57 53 0E 14 13 03 00 78 DA EC 7D 77 5C 54 C9
4th byte---------------^
Because it is based on powers of 16, then 14 is really 1 lot of 16^1 (power 1) plus a 4 lots of 16^0 (power 0) = 16+4= 20 in decimal.

5. Re: Change Targeted flash player version?
Dave Merchant Sep 17, 2012 9:35 AM (in response to easypzmaths)The SWF spec is here (in PDF). The value of byte 4 was a simple match to the Flash version number until Adobe reached FP10, at which point so much was changing between minor versions that the header started to increment more rapidly.
FP 9 = 9, etc.
FP 10.0 = 10
FP 10.1 = 10
FP 10.2 = 11
FP 10.3 = 12
FP 11.0 = 13
FP 11.1 = 14
FP 11.2 = 15
FP 11.3 = 16

8. Re: Change Targeted flash player version?
TBone97 Sep 17, 2012 11:02 AM (in response to Dave Merchant)So in therory the swf should be loading just fine. I'm basing this on an earlier version of the .swf file that runs on the same version of flash. Only difference is that it has seven photos where as my current version has twenty-one.

Dave Merchant Sep 17, 2012 11:05 AM (in response to TBone97)If you want to send the files to check what's going on, private-message me a link - I'm not around for the next two days but can test them out soon as I get back.

10. Re: Change Targeted flash player version?
TBone97 Sep 17, 2012 11:15 AM (in response to Dave Merchant)As much as I appreciate the thought, this is kind of a time sensative project. Honestly, I'm surprised its taken this long.
