Should I publish to Flash Player 6 or 7? 2004-03-09 - By Merrill, Jason
Back
Really, it depends on your user base. I would make life easier by publishing
for FP 7 and telling my users to update their players - but then, not everyone
has the kind of user base they can demand that from. Who is your user base?
The world? Technology companies? Knitting club members? A specific client
base? Depends on who will be viewing this.
