Installed and no problems. I did run an unstaller for the previous version.

I had been running the beta version for some months now...

It's nice to put a .mov h.264 in a .swf instead of using a flv. Or you can run the h.264 in either a Quicktime or a swf/flv player...Kill two birds with one video.

Let the viewer pick which player. Of course you have to build your web page to support two players...

Thanks Dave.

No problems installing. Didn't uninstall the old version (never do). I just assummed the newer versions overrided the older versions as there are always some Adobe files in my trashcan after I restart after an installation.

You do need a faster processor when playing these...

Who is this working for? I just tried to install it on Leopard, and absolutely nothing happens. Download, double-click, nothing. Why are these companies releasing software that doesn't even work?

Hello,

Downloaded, installed and then ... not working. Apparently it uninstalled the previous flash version because my system does not have flash anymore.

Problem found. I had to do a "repair disk permission" in disk utility.
