Recently I had a meeting with my CTO about a cool component I was working on and of course when he went to view it he got the default Flex app light blue screen and no component. “Hey this is great!” he said mockingly, then right clicked on the blue void to show me the movie not loaded message in the top of the flash player context window. The best part was that I had just sent the link to a client. Needless to say I was a little concerned. Most of us developers upgrade Flex Builder as soon as a new patch or update comes out and since we are in the thick of it all day long we never witness what the average user were to see. I recently just upgraded to Flex Builder Version: 3.0.205647 which also installs Flash Player 9.0.124. What I didn’t realize ( and feel a little dumb about ) is that it also updates the HTML template file to specify a new minor version required.

So now any average human viewing your app will see the light blue screen of Flex-dom without any content duhn, duhn, duh.
The fix is pretty easy, just open up the generated html file from your bin-debug ( I am assuming you write your own html page for releases that uses swfObject, if you aren’t then you should be. ) and change the minor version to a version lower than 124.
I can usually get away with 115 but it is only needed if you are testing H264 or HE-AAC audio. For most cases you can drop all the way to 28 unless you want the bug fixes for the CS3 components available from 45. You can also always go check the penetration rates yourself at Adobe and read the release notes to see if you are using a feature that isn’t available in the version you are targeting.
