ActiveX Compatibility

When programming against Macromedia / Adobe Flash Player ActiveX, developers must consider differences between versions.
Some properties and methods are available only in specific versions. For example, the Stacking property exists in Flash Player ActiveX 5 but is not present in later versions.

TFlashPlayerControl automatically detects the version of Flash Player ActiveX in use. It prevents failures when accessing properties or methods that are not available in the current version.

Applications built with TFlashPlayerControl are compatible across multiple versions of Macromedia / Adobe Flash Player ActiveX (3 through 14). The component adapts its behavior based on the detected version, ensuring reliable execution and reducing risks of runtime errors.

This compatibility support helps developers create more robust applications and reduces potential technical support issues.
