Macromedia Flash Player compatibility
Backward compatibility of newer versions of Flash Player with older Macromedia Flash file formats is a top priority for each new Flash Player version. One of the methods that Macromedia has used to ensure backward compatibility of Flash Player with Flash files created in older versions of Flash is through beta releases of Flash Player.
Macromedia Flash Player version
Ensure that you have the latest version of Flash Player installed by clicking here to check the version. The current version of Flash Player 7 for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems is 7.0.69.0. The current version of Flash Player 7 for Solaris operating systems is 7.0.67.0.
Features in Macromedia Flash Player 7, Version 7.0.14.0 Windows, Mac OS X, and Macintosh Classic
This release of Macromedia Flash Player includes features for delivering rich content and high-performance media such as video, support for industry standards such as Web Services/SOAP, XML and ECMA standards-compliant programming model as well as improvements to usability and workflow. Flash Player 7.0.14.0 also introduces an enhanced security policy.
The features in Macromedia Flash Player 7 are covered in detail in Flash Help in the Flash MX 2004 and Flash MX Professional 2004 authoring environment. Features that developers should be aware of include:
| High Performance Media | Usability & Workflow Improvements |
|---|---|
| ID3 Version 2 Support | Array Sorting API Enhancement |
| Movie Clip Depth Management | Custom Context Menu |
| MovieClipLoader API | Exception Handling |
| PrintJob Object | Hyperlink Context Menu Support |
| Small Text Support | Mouse Wheel Support |
| Streaming FLV over HTTP | Runtime Shared Library Improvements |
| Text Flow Around Images | |
| Text Metrics | |
| Text Style Sheets(CSS) |
High Performance Media:
ID3 Version 2 Support
ID3 is meta information that is added to MP3 sound files and contains textual information such as the song name, album name and artist name. Most media players such as Winamp and others can display this information. Windows XP Explorer also has native support for ID3 and allows you to display the ID3 information in separate columns. In ActionScript Flash Player 7 will expose text tags.
ID3 V1 support is not touched. It will still be reachable through the old tags. If no IDV1 tag is present in the file Flash Player copies the IDV2 tags into the known IDV1 tag strings to provide backward compatibility.
MovieClip Depth Management
There are two methods added to the Movie Clip Object:
- MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth()
- MovieClip.getInstanceAtDepth()
MovieClipLoader API
This feature provides listener callbacks that provide notification about the status of files being downloaded into movie clips. Downloading is initiated by the MovieClipLoader.loadClip() command.
PrintJob Object
The ActionScript PrintJob class expands upon previously available Flash Player printing features. It allows you to create content at runtime and print this content to multiple pages. The OS print dialog box appears only once and only one print job shows in the operating systems's list of print jobs.
Small Text Support
This feature improves the legibility and attractiveness of small Flash text. There are no new ActionScript APIs to activate this feature.
Streaming FLV over HTTP
Flash Player 7 supports FLV progressive download (to a user's local drive) and playback without the need for a Flash Communication Server. Both HTTP and local file playback are supported. Control of the FLV is done through the NetStream object which allows you to play, pause, and seek the FLV.
Text Flow Around Images
This feature allows Flash to flow html text around images in a seamless fashion similar to what is available in HTML. This is a runtime-only feature; there is no Authoring component. You should include HTML image tags in your HTML text.
Text Metrics
This feature allows access to additional metrics that allow you to create complex text layouts in ActionScript without using off-screen text fields. To properly align multiple controls so that all the text lines up, this feature allows access to font metrics that allow you to locate the text baseline.
Text Style Sheets (CSS)
The Text Style Sheets feature is an implementation of a small subset of CSS, much like Flash's HTML text fields support a small subset of HTML. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style information such as fonts, colors, and spacing to Web documents. This feature consists of two major pieces of functionality:
- Enhancements to Flash Player's HTML text field feature, enabling it to associate with a new Style Sheet object that contains named TextFormat objects.
- A CSS style sheet loader and parser, which can load style sheets and apply them to text fields through the TextField.StyleSheet class and the TextField.styleSheet property.
Pervasive:
Automatic Notification & Update
Macromedia Flash Player 7 offers a capability to both notify users about the availability of new versions and install the latest version of Flash Player. The update mechanism is designed to provide Flash Player users with an easy and convenient mechanism to update their software in a timely and convenient manner. With the 7.0.14.0 release, the notification and update mechanism is available for users running on the Microsoft Windows platforms (98/ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP) with Internet Explorer and AOL. With the 7.0.19.0 release, the notification and update mechanism is available for users running on the Microsoft Windows platforms (98/ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP) with Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera. The update capability is available for the web players (when hosted by a browser). The debugging and standalone players do not offer this capability in version 7.0.14.0 or 7.0.19.0.
Standard:
ECMA-262 Strict Mode Compliance
Flash MX 2004 and Flash MX Professional 2004 content is now case sensitive. This compliance is maintained on a per movie basis. If a strict Flash MX 2004 or Flash MX Professional 2004 movie calls a non-strict Flash 6 movie, the Flash 6 movie will remain non-strict.
Virtual Root
This feature allows you to force _root to evaluate to the movie clip in which the problem content is loaded, rather than to the real root by creating a new property for the movie clip object, called _lockroot. If _lockroot is set to true on a movie clip, that movie clip acts as _root for anything loaded into it. Any movie clip, and any number of movie clips, may set _lockroot to true. While the primary use is for an aggregator to set this property on a movie clip into which it is loading content, the _lockroot property can be set either by the loading movie or the loaded movie.
Web Services/SOAP Library
This feature includes a library that allows Flash Player to interact with a web service.
Secure:
Exact Domain Matching
This feature allows cross-movie scripting only between movies that originated from the exact same domain. Any other cross-movie scripting will only work after calling Policy Files (System.security.allowDomain) to permit access.
The changes in the Flash Player 7 security model can occasionally cause undesirable behavior in pre-existing content. Additional information can be located at the Flash Player Support site or at this DevNet article.
Cross-Domain Policy Files
Policy files are a feature that allows Flash Player to load data directly from any specified trusted domains and URLs.
The changes in the Flash Player 7 security model can occasionally cause undesirable behavior in pre-existing content. Additional information can be located at the Flash Player Support site or at this DevNet article.
HTTP access to HTTPS movies
This feature prevents cross-movie scripting when the calling movie is hosted on a non-HTTPS server and the movie being called is hosted on an HTTPS server. If you can't host all movies on an HTTPS server, which is the recommended solution, you can permit this kind of cross-movie scripting by calling System.security.allowInsecureDomain to permit access.
Usability & Workflow Improvements:
Array Sorting API Enhancement
We have expanded the array sorting API to support an expanded variety of options for sorting using Array.sort and Array.sortOn.
Custom Context Menu
The ContextMenu and ContextMenuItem classes allos you to customize the context menu. You can add new menu items that trigger ActionScript methods and remove default items as desired.
Exception Handling
This feature adds the ability to catch and handle errors that occur in ActionScript and adds four keywords to the ActionScript language: try, catch, finally and throw.
Hyperlink Context Menu Support
In all players, if the user right-clicks on a link, users will see the Link menu. This menu has two or three items and is not customizable.
| Menu Item: | Behavior: |
|---|---|
| Open | exactly as if the user had clicked the link |
| Open in new window (Browsers only) | will always open a new window |
| Copy link | copies the URL of the link to the clipboard |
In the ActiveX Control and all Netscape plug-ins, the following browser-specific keys will open a link ina new window:
Windows ActiveX - Shift-click
Windows Netscape - Control-click
Mac Netscape - Command-click
Mouse Wheel Support
Mouse Wheel support has been added, for Windows only. Mouse wheel support brings two benefits to Flash Player: Flash Player now, by default, scrolls text boxes vertically for all Flash movies (not only version 7 movies); and you can listen for mouse wheel events and respond appropriately.
Runtime Shared Library Improvements
This feature adds support for multi-tier dependent shared libraries. As of Flash Player 6.0.65.0, you can have a shared library that has its own shared library.
Fixes and Improvements in Flash Player 7.0.19.0
Automatic Notification & Update
With the 7.0.19.0 release, users on Netscape and supported Mozilla-based browsers will now be notified when a new version of Flash Player for users running on the Microsoft Windows platforms (98/ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP) is available. The update capability is available for the web players (when hosted by a browser). The debugging and standalone players do not offer this capability in either version 7.0.14.0 or 7.0.19.0 .
Shared Object Security Enhancements
Flash Player now stores persistent shared objects in unpredictable locations. This improves client-side web security.
Flexible Policy File Locations
Flash Player supports a new ActionScript API called System.security.loadPolicyFile. This enables cross-domain policy files to be placed in more flexible locations than was previously possible.
Flash Player uses policy files as a permission mechanism to permit Flash movies to load data from servers other than their own. For more details on policy files, see: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer_security.html
Flash Player 7.0.14.0 looked for policy files in only one location: /crossdomain.xml on the server to which a);
This causes Flash Player to retrieve a policy file from the specified URL. Any permissions granted by the policy file at that location will apply to all content at the same level or below in the virtual directory hierarchy of the server. Thus, continuing the above example:
loadVariables('http://foo.com/sub/dir/vars.txt') allowed
loadVariables('http://foo.com/sub/dir/deep/vars2.txt') allowed
loadVariables('http://foo.com/elsewhere/vars3.txt') not allowed
You can load any number of policy files using loadPolicyFile. When considering a request that requires a policy file, Flash Player always waits for the completion of any policy file downloads before denying a request. As a final fallback, if no policy file specified with loadPolicyFile authorizes a request, Flash Player consults the original default location, /crossdomain.xml.
A new syntax allows policy files to be retrieved directly from an XMLSocket server:
System.security.loadPolicyFile('xmlsocket://foo.com:414');
This causes Flash Player to attempt to retrieve a policy file from the specified host and port. Any port may be used, not only ports 1024 and above. Upon establishing a connection with the specified port, Flash Player transmits <cross-domain-request/>, terminated by a null byte. An XMLSocket server may be configured to serve both policy files and normal XMLSocket connections over the same port, in which case the server should wait for <cross-domain-request/> before transmitting a policy file. A server may also be set up to serve policy files over a separate port from normal connections, in which case it may send a policy file as soon as a connection is established on the dedicated policy file port. The server must send a null byte to terminate a policy file, and may thereafter close the connection; if the server does not close the connection, Flash Player will do so upon receiving the terminating null byte.
A policy file served by an XMLSocket server has the same syntax as any other policy file, except that it must also specify the ports to which access is granted. When a policy file comes from a port lower than 1024, it may grant access to any ports; when a policy file comes from port 1024 or higher, it may only grant access to other ports 1024 and higher. The allowed ports are specified in a 'to-ports' attribute in the <allow-access-from> tag. Single port numbers, port ranges, and wildcards are all allowed. Here is an example XMLSocket policy file:
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain='*' to-ports='507' />
<allow-access-from domain='*.foo.com' to-ports='507,516' />
<allow-access-from domain='*.bar.com' to-ports='516-523' />
<allow-access-from domain='www.foo.com' to-ports='507,516-523' />
<allow-access-from domain='www.bar.com' to-ports='*' />
</cross-domain-policy>
A policy file obtained from the old default location - /crossdomain.xml on an HTTP server on port 80 - implicitly authorizes access to all ports 1024 and above. There is no way to retrieve a policy file to authorize XMLSocket operations from any other location on an HTTP server; any custom locations for XMLSocket policy files must be on an XMLSocket server.
Because the ability to connect to ports lower than 1024 is new, a policy file loaded with loadPolicyFile is always required to authorize this, even when a movie is connecting to its own subdomain.
Disabling seamless tabbing
This release of ActiveX Flash Player supports a new HTML parameter called SeamlessTabbing. The default value is true; set this parameter to false to disable 'seamless tabbing', which allows users to use the Tab key to move keyboard focus out of a Flash movie and into the surrounding HTML (or the browser, if there is nothing focusable in the HTML following the Flash movie). ActiveX Flash Player has supported seamless tabbing since version 7.0.14.0. Disabling seamless tabbing restores the tabbing behavior of Flash Player 6, in which tabbing from the end of the tab order inside a Flash movie wraps the focus back to the first focusable object in the Flash movie. Here is an example of disabling seamless tabbing:
<object .. >
..
<param name='SeamlessTabbing' value='false'>
..
</object>
Inline Text Input on Korean Systems
Text entry using the Korean IME on Korean systems can now be performed inline without requiring a separate text entry box.
Mouse Wheel Events (Windows)
Flash Player 6 0 65 Download
Mouse Wheel events can now broadcast to Mouse listeners when movies are published for Flash Player 6 SWFs.
ActionScript Issues Fixed
Performing the Array.sortOn() operation using both 'UNIQUE' and 'NUMERIC' options results in unsuccessful completion.
Memory Management Issues Fixed
Four changes have been made to optimize memory usage.
Stability Issues Fixed
Six known stability issues have been fixed.
Data Loss or Corruption Issues Fixed
String.split will delete the last element if it begins with the same characters as the delimiter.
Carriage returns don't translate inside Flash (Mac only).
Shared object deletion fails for subdirectories (Mac only).
AMF responses are dropped by the player when making multiple simultaneous requests.
International Issues Fixed
XML incorrectly parses escaped strings.
The debug player can't display Kanji using standard fonts.
In the Korean IME, the first word typed is duplicated in the lower right portion of the screen.
When Character options include Non-Latin glyphs you can't enter non-Latin text.
Double-byte data received through web service is corrupted.
Debugging Issues Fixed
'Locals' tab often shows no content even though there are local variables present.
Cosmetic Issues Fixed
Flash Player in various browsers shows incorrect version information.
Flash Player 7 lists duplicate variables from Flash Player 6 movies that differ only by case.
Fixes and Improvements in Flash Player 7.0.24.0: Macintosh OS X Only
Macintosh OS X Plug-in Bundle
With this release, Flash Player takes advantage of Apple's bundling technology and provides the OS X Flash Player plug-in in a bundle, a single directory that contains executable code and resources related to the code. The Flash Player plug-in on OS X has been renamed from 'Shockwave Flash NP-PPC' to 'Flash Player.plugin.'
Fixes and Improvements in Flash Player 7.0.25.0: Linux
Macromedia Flash Player 7.0.25.0 for Linux includes all of the features from Flash Player 7.0.19.0 except for windowless mode.
Macromedia does not officially support specific cameras or sound drivers on the Linux platform. However, we tested Flash Player 7.0.25.0 with Logitech Quickcam Express web camera, Standard Microphone, and Creative Sound Blaster was used.
Issues for Flash Player 7.0.25.0:Linux
- In the Mozilla browser, the Ctrl+N command doesn't work when Flash content is playing.
- User can't type or delete when cursor is outside of the area of the running SWF.
- User can't type in text field when mouse is over another SWF.
- The onKeyDown and onKeyUp event handlers don't work in the Konqueror browser ( http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75837 ).
- Flash content does not print symbols at less that 100% alpha.
- Motion Status remains the same even when motion is demonstrated for the Camera.
- The Konqueror browser sometimes asks the user to specify the directory path where the plug-in is located.
Fixes and Improvements in Flash Player 7.0.53.0: Solaris
Macromedia Flash Player 7.0.53.0 for Solaris includes all of the features from Flash Player 7.0.19.0 except for windowless mode. Macromedia does not officially support specific cameras or sound drivers on the Solaris platform.
Issues for Flash Player 7.0.53.0:Solaris
- In the Mozilla browser, the Ctrl+N command doesn't work when Flash content is playing.
- Text field still show focus when the focus is actually on another object.
- Flash does not print vectors ignoring the alpha.
- Flash Plugin on Solaris loses audio/video sync.
Fixes and Improvements in Flash Player 7.0.60.0 and 7.0.61.0
Macromedia Flash Player 7.0.60.0 and Macromedia Flash Player 7.0.61.0 include security enhancements described in Security Bulletin MPSB05-07 for operating systems that are not supported by the Flash Player 8 release.
Fixes and Improvements in Flash Player 7.0.63.0
Macromedia Flash Player 7.0.63.0 includes security enhancements described in Security Bulletin APSB06-03 for operating systems that are not supported by the Flash Player 8 release.
This update introduces additional version checking to the installation process. Because older installers and controls do not contain the new version checking logic, the Flash Player control is locked upon installation. Starting with this update, installers and uninstallers from Adobe are designed to work with this change, and there is no impact to the end-user installation experience. Flash and Flex developers may need to make slight modifications to their normal methods of switching between player versions during testing to account for this change. This is described in TechNote 4da116d3.
Fixes and Improvements in Flash Player 7.0.66.0 and 7.0.68.0

I can't find Flash Player download link which will give me the full EXE/MSI file, not the tiny downloader which downloads data from the internet.
What's the proper download site for this?

Edit 2017:The installers are now at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution5.html
Edit 2016:
It seems that the link below does no longer give access to offline installers :(
CORT SERIAL NUMBER. I AM LOOKING FOR THE MFG. DATE FOR THE FOLLOWING CORT GUITAR, SERIAL NUMBER 8610450. Serial numbers mainly identify the year that the instrument was produced in.

original answer:
Download Adobe Flash Player 16 / 13 / 11.2 full offline standalone installers (MSI/EXE) for Internet Explorer / other browsers:
I've contacted Adobe because I was completely unable to install Flash with the 900kb installer-downloaders which always flood me with strange errors (and delete themselves from the run location! so you can't launch the installer-downloader after failure, have to re-download it), and they sent me this link.
For a long time, I've been taking the offline installers from this page: Installation problems for Windows 7 and older (already mentioned in a comment by Fronker).
The links are always up-to-date, and it lets me get all plugin architectures (as of today ActiveX,NPAPI andPPAPI).The links are near the bottom, under the Still having problems? heading.
The above instructions are for Windows, but the same approach works for Mac OS X. Here's the Adobe help page with the offline installer links at the bottom: Installation Problems – Mac. This Adobe help forum page is also helpful: How to perform a 'clean install' of Flash Player in Mac OS X.
Adobe has decommissioned the Distribution page, but here's another method that still works for now:
On the standard installation page https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ the 'Install Now' button links to the download page https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=.., you should append &standalone=1 to the end, then it'll let you download the normal standalone offline installer.
P.S. Don't forget to disable 'Optional offer' before copying the link.
If you download the flash player cab file for Microsoft System Center/SCCM, extract the xml file from the it, then you'll see the msi file listed in the xml file. There's a link for the activex installer and also the Mozilla/firefox/netscape plugin.
