DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Flash 9 environment

Of course there are useful things out there that are built around flash 9.

Name one. I for sure can't.

I've only run into a couple sites that require Flash 9 for anything. Flash 7 is adequate for youtube and most other sites. With increased complexity (9>7) comes increased vulnerability. Not that Flash 7 is the epitome of security -- far from it, which is why I follow a similar recommendation to what's in the second link (I also move it to another directory). Same Flash 9 vuln in both links.

Some sites do require it, or flash in general, but the question was something useful, not something that it's not required for but still used because of someone's stupidity.

Stupid is as stupid does. I haven't used flash 7 in a while and thought that things like Youtube required 9 by now. I am a bear of little brain, and have been called worse. :cool:

Not you

The ones who insist on requiring flash when their content could be accessible otherwise too.
