My Intro Slides

Chris’s Talk

Flash Player 10.1 has been updated the current release is 10.1.82.76. Adobe recommends that you update your players. Security update available for Adobe Flash Player
You can download the debug version on the Adobe Flash Player Support Center downloads

Also,  there is an update to Air 2, the current version is 2.0.3, download the current version here

To find out which version of the Adobe Air run time you have install is easy to find. I am using Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) so your path on another operating system might be a little different.

Open the the file /Library/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/Info.plist in your favorite XML editor, and locate the <key>CFBundleVersion</key> entry (line 19).

The corresponding string below this entry (line 20) represents the version of Air, for your system. <string>2.0.2.12610</string>

Therefore on my Mac I am running Adobe Air version 2.0.2.12610

My next task is to create an Air application that checks this!
