   Flex / Flash in different browsers/OS
  I am developing a Flex project to be run on a Mac. I am developing on Windows, testing in FF & IE7. Are there any issues specific to the Mac Flash plugin or Mac browsers I will need to know about?   
  Mac can't hold right click on browsers I think. But that won't be important to you. You won't run into any difficulty with running flash on a MAC since it is nearly fully cross-platform.   ;  I think right-clicking works fine. Either way, it's intercepted by the Flash player, so the game doesn't have to worry about it.Actually that reminds me of a real issue. I was playing a flash game the other day, and at one point it required me to hold Control and left-click to do something. On the Mac, if you hold Control while left-clicking, it's interpreted as a right-click. So it was impossible for me to play that game.   ;Quote:Original post by pinacoladaActually that reminds me of a real issue.

The game wanted me to hold control and left-click. I did. The Flash player thought I was right-clicking, and it intercepted the click (showing me the context menu instead). And the game kept telling me that I should hold control and left-click.It would be like if a Flash game said, "Press alt-F4 to fire a plasma grenade!"   ;Quote:Original post by pinacoladaQuote:Original post by OluseyiUse a two-button mouse.I do, I think you misunderstood.

The system interprets that, but Adobe decided to circumvent that (probably for some reasonable cause).   ;  I came across one strange thing. In my Windows PC I can run the .swf file through Flash player. But On the Mac, I had to embed it in a html file - the other guy (who has some experience creating flash stuff) couldn't play my .swf directly. Is this normal?   ;  maybe the player and the browser plugin dont have the same version?
