playerglobal.swc 10.x is missing from SDK 4.9
Hi,
I have just installed SDK 4.9 and built a sample Flex project in Eclipse+ Flash Builder.
I modified the minimum FP version in flex-config.xml to 10.2 and compiled it and I am getting the following expectable error:
Cannot find <SDK_HOME>/frameworks/libs/player/10.2/playerglobal.swc.
Actually, libs/player only contains 11.1 and 11.4 (like in SDK 4.6 / 4.8).
So I had to copy 11.1 and rename it to 10.2 to compile successfully.
So I have a naive question: since SDK 4.9 is compatible with FP 10.2 to 11.5 (cf. release notes), why isn't 10.2 playerglobal.swc included in the SDK?
Regards
Maurice

Hi,
> One of the reasons I was looking forward to SDK 4.9 is that it would break that marketing-only requirement on FP 11.1.
The README has instructions on how to use the SDK with other versions of Flash Player, including the URLS the the required playerglobal.swcs.
I also made a script the other day that will download, install and check all versions of playerflobal.swc in an Apache Flex SDK.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/flex/sdk/branches/develop/ide/checkAllPlayerGlobals.sh?view=markup
Currently it only been tested on OSX but perhaps someone can try it on windows and/or convert it to a batch script?
Thanks,
Justin

Om,
Thanks for the quick answer.
I understand the compatibility requirement, so flex-config need to be set by default to FP 11.1.
However, would it be possible that a future version of the installer also downloads 10.2 playerglobal.swc , which is the minimum supported version, in addition to 11.1 and 11.4.
AFAIU, that will not impact the compatibility requirement, and would avoid one manual operation, even if it is simple, when targeting FP 10.2 (which is the case of developers in my company).

We discussed this issue a bit in the past. I think the reason is that Flex
4.6 came with FP 11.1 and we want to keep it the same way so as to not break applications that started using APIs not in 10.2 but are in 11.1.
Users are free to download their preferred version of the FP swc since they know their codebases better. In fact, Justin has a very handy script that downloads all supported FP versions here [1]
In other words, the support is there except that the other versions of FP swc are not downloaded by the installer.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Om

One of the reasons I was looking forward to SDK 4.9 is that it would break that marketing-only requirement on FP 11.1.
So that's why I was rather "disappointed" not to find 10.2 support "out of the box".
