Hi,

There is a bug with the fallback function and Flash Player 10 (10,0,1,218).
If I try to play a MP4 video with a FLV video in fallback, it plays the FLV video. But it should not.

It works correctly with Flash Player 9.

Thanks

Flash player 10? You're the first, it is released today! Will check...

please note flash 10 is still in beta, and as such is to be expected to be buggy ! - release version is still v.9.0.124 (15.5.2008)

It's a small string-matching bug, I see. Since the 4.0 player will not use the fallback mechanism this way, the issue will fix itself.

Ok thanks. Version 4 will be release soon ?

Yes...

Hi,

Flash Player 10 has been released today. And I don't want for the moment (for different reasons) to use version 4 of the player.
I'm using version 3.16, I was wondering if you can tell me which file/string I have to fix in the code.

Thanks in advance

Do I have to change these lines in FeedManager.as ?

if(feed[i]['fallback'] != undefined) {
var maj = Number(System.capabilities.version.split(' ')[1].substr(0,1));
var min = Number(System.capabilities.version.split(',')[2]);
if(maj < 9 || (maj == 9 && min < 90)) {
feed[i]['file'] = feed[i]['fallback'];
}
}

It works, with my modification, I have replaced the lines

if(feed[i]['fallback'] != undefined) {
var maj = Number(System.capabilities.version.split(' ')[1].substr(0,1));
var min = Number(System.capabilities.version.split(',')[2]);
if(maj < 9 || (maj == 9 && min < 90)) {
feed[i]['file'] = feed[i]['fallback'];
}
}

by thes one

if(feed[i]['fallback'] != undefined) {
var maj10 = Number(System.capabilities.version.split(' ')[1].substr(0,2)); // add by me
var maj = Number(System.capabilities.version.split(' ')[1].substr(0,1));
var min = Number(System.capabilities.version.split(',')[2]);
if (maj10<>10) // add by me
if(maj < 9 || (maj == 9 && min < 90)) {
feed[i]['file'] = feed[i]['fallback'];
}
}

When I publish the swf file, I have to setup for Flash 9 and actionscript 2.0 ?

Perfect, thanks for posting!

Will there be a download for this?

I would like it too, but I do not have flash, so I can't change it myself

4.2 isn't working for me with Flash 10. Doesn't seem to wanna load. 4.1 works fine.

Is that the same problem as described here?

Hey Jeroen!

Seems like the flash mp3 player 2.0 and JW FLV player 3.12 are not working 100% with the new Adobe flash player version 10.

I've noticed the following:

- When embedding the player on a webpage using the embed code and when using the parameter " <param name="menu" value="false"> " it doesn't seem to work fine because the link to the player website can still show. Whilst it doesn't show on adobe flash player 9.

- mp3 s encoded at 64kbps - 22kHz aren't playing that ok.

Can youplease help me remove the link under flash player 10.

P.S. I prefer the above mentionned versions then the recent releases and i'm in possession of a license.
Thanks in advance ?

Please upgrade to the 4.x version of the player to fix these issues. A license also incorporates upgrades (2.x, 3.x, 4.x).

The 2.0 and 3.12 issues are different, and I cannot continue supporting old versions of the player.
