Should I publish to Flash Player 6 or 7? 2004-03-09 - By Ray Broussard
Back
Ed,
If your project can run with player 4, consider publishing to v4, else
if your project can run with player 5, publish to v5, else
if your project can run with player 6, publish to v6, else
if your project can run with player 7, publish to v7.
More site visitors can then more easily view your site. Some people
purposely aim for player 5 playback so more people have less trouble
visiting. AFAIK, players 5, 6 & 7 are each backwards compatible.
