Brief Hands-On Report--Adobe updated Flash Player 9 to 9.0.98.0, Release Candidate

Adobe posted a new Release Candidate of Flash Player 9 (9.0.98.0), code-named Moviestar, for Mac OS X.

Note that Adobe still recommends that you uninstall any previous version of Flash Player before installing the new beta version. Download the uninstaller from this Adobe Web page.

Adobe Flash Player 9 Release Candidate (9.0.98.0) is available for download from this Adobe Web page. You can see what version you have installed by visiting this Adobe Flash Web page.

We downloaded version 9.0.98.0 but the uninstaller would not run on our MacBook Pro with Leopard so we just installed version 9.0.98.0 without uninstalling v9.0.64.0. We had done this before with no ill effects. After installation we checked that we had the new version installed and then visited several of the Web sites listed in the Flash showcase and encountered no problems. [Bill Fox]
