Hi CB,
Sorry, but I am correct
. You are talking about something else.
The original poster Ian, asked about the Macromedia product called
Flashpaper:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashpaper/
But you are describing the Macromedia Flash Player:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
Flashpaper and Flash Player are both part of the general "Flash" family of
products from Adobe, but they are not the same product. Flash Player is a
free download from the Adobe website. Flashpaper is part of Adobe Creative
Suite 2, a large and expensive software product.
You are correct, the Flash PLAYER works okay on Vista, and is supported on
Vista by Adobe.
On the other hand FlashPAPER, which Ian asked about, does *not* work well on
Vista. This is confirmed by Adobe themselves, in the document on their
website:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb401484
which I linked to in my earlier post.
Maybe one can manage to get Flashpaper hobbling along on Vista, with
suitable workarounds. But as described in Adobe's own article, there are
known and confirmed problems installing Flashpaper on Vista and they -
Adobe - have no plans to fix it. Their solution is to upgrade to CS3 (quite
an expensive solution).
I appreciate that you're trying to keep a high standard of accuracy in this
group, and that's good. But my previous post is completely accurate and
correct (well, as correct as Adobe themselves). I'd recommend a little bit
of caution, before telling people they are incorrect (especially when they
*are* correct
