So, instead of using a more stable, universal flash version, you moved to the bleeding edge and then complain?

Don't want to poke at you, really, but as a developer, I NEVER, EVER use the latest release of a development tool or platform other than beta testing. To me, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" isn't a good idea, it's a requirement for keeping my job. I still have Delphi 5 installed (10th August 1999) and FoxPro 2.5 for DOS(Jan. 1993), just in case my shiny Delphi Architect 2010 has some showstopper bug. I also have a few in-between versions, like Foxpro, for example, 2.5, 2.6, 5, 6, 8 and 9. And I fall back as needed to keep things working.

Again I wonder exactly what magical dust 10.1 has inside that makes it a requirement. What possible support has been added that makes everyone push to the bleeding edge?

I know that the comparison isn't exactly 100% correct, because you run in the client's Flash, not directly on the platform, but isn't that an even better reason to hold back?

Who upgrades a site from a 90% user base to a 5% user base?

Maybe I'm just getting old fashioned. Man, 30 hits hard.
