What version of Flash player does cfpresentation require?

This is a question I had, so, doing what all good developers do, I looked in the documentation.

Didn't find it there.

The next step a good developer does is ask the holder of knowledge, Mr Google. He didn't know either...

Third step, inspect the generated code...

The generated code uses a .JS file called "loadflash.js", which has the code snippet:

object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,65,0" width="'+w+'" height="'+h+'" id="SlideContent" align="" VIEWASTEXT>

note the: "version=6,0,65,0"

so the answer to the question: What version of Flash player does cfpresentation require?

would be: 6+ :-)

Comments
in case anyone is wondering why Flash Player 6+

it's the same version that Connect/Breeze needs and especially what the Connect Presenter tool uses (the widget that SWF-ifies your PPT with audio and bookmarks, ready to upload for your Connect presentation...)
