Had a very weird problem:

Made a ‘whiteboard’ app. Originally it was for Flash Player 7 then I changed the Publish Settings to point to Flash Player 8.

Worked fine for me, but caused problems with my customer, so I changed Publish Settings back to Player 7.

When the customer opened up the .swf which I’d emailed him, **it opened in Flash Player 6, even though he had the latest player installed.**  
**When he deleted the old V6 player the problem was fixed.**

So my question is, why did my .swf open Flash Player 6 - and therefore lose some of it’s functionality - when the customer had a later player installed ?
