Loading ...The latest Flash Professional update, 11.0.1, does not modify the version number in the About box. This is because the update adds and alters support files but does not update the application binary.
It’s a natural habit to look at the version number for confirmation that the update was successful. Seeing 11.0.0.485 after an update may prompt you to try the process again even though it may not be necessary. Ideally, this will save you some time.
The easiest way to see that the update was applied is to look for iPad support in your Publish Settings. Check the menu File > Publish Settings: Flash “tab” > Player drop down to make sure it says iPhone OS. In addition, clicking the resulting Settings button will show iPad in the Device drop down menu in the middle of the settings dialog.
You can also check for a successful update without opening Flash by checking an AIR version number:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\en_US\Configuration\External Libraries\Air2_0.dll
MAC:
/Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/External Libraries/Air2_0.bundle
The version number after the update should be 11.0.0.489. (Thanks to Nivesh Rajbhandari, for confirmation on the external file version.)
