Wouldn’t you love to see the Flash site they tested? Sounds to me like they didn’t use device fonts, had a set size Flash interface, and had no idea how to compress (or not compress) images for use in Flash. Bleh… any test like this is goob-i-fied if you get just a summary. People like me want the real data to know what points were valid.

Was having problems with a project, but couldn’t get the debug player to work. Whether I compiled with debugging enabled, included the SWD, nothing worked. However, works now. Here’s what I did:

– downloaded the <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/”>Flash 7 Player uninstaller</a>
– ran it and uninstalled my Flash Player 7 players
– tested to make sure my player was uninstalled by going to <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/”>macromedia.com</a> since they usually have a Flash movie on the front page
– went to my program files > Flash MX 2004 > Players > Debug folder
– ran the Install Flash Player 7 exe and manually pointed it to IE since it couldn’t find it on it’s own
– then, ran the Install Flash Player 7 ActiveX exe
– finally, copied the SAFlashPlayer.data, .exe, .rsrc and pasted over my originals in the Player’s directory so when I compile it’ll be the debug player.

Now, I can debug remotely again.
