One new thing i find out when you debug movie it will export swf in flash player but when i tested following ActionScript code it displays incorrect details.

trace(Capabilities.version);
trace(Capabilities.playerType);

WIN 10,0,2,54
StandAlone

Answer 1

First, What you downloaded off of the Adobe site is not Flash 10.3. There are new builds of Flash 11 on Labs.

You will need more than the SWC and XML. You will also need to download and install the beta player. You will need to test in browser as the player in Flash Pro is integrated, and there is no standalone for FP11 yet.

Most likely your DeviceCentral bug is due to the fact that Flash Player 11 is not supported (integrated) in CS4. This is the problem line in the player XML though it isn't going to help you much, just more of an FYI:

<player id="FlashPlayer11" version="13" asversion="3">

Keep in mind that anything related to any beta software from Adobe or elsewhere will be difficult to find any support for. Once the release version of Flash Player 11 is available, you will most likely see a large number of release information, tutorials, etc from Adobe. This is just the nature of beta.

Answer 2

I haven't tried with CS4, but there is a solution that works with CS5 and should work with CS4 as well. Have a look at the Molehill from scratch with Adobe Flash CS 5 on Tinic Uro's blog.
