Flex Toolkit - Flash Player 10 support?

    We're using a flex builder compiled form to connect to the salesforce api (via the flex toolkit from Salesforce) and submit campaign leads.  The problem is that the toolkit requires the compiled form/app from Flex to use a Flash Player 9-based sdk, which in turn won't allow an upgrade of the form to run in browsers using Flash Player 10.  Any customer attempting to fill out the form using the latest flash version get a security violation error when attempting to reach the API.

Any idea when an updated version of the .SWC file for the toolkit will be modified/released to work with version 10 of Flash?  If it's already out or there is some workaround, it would be great to know.

Thanks

This is happening to our flex components as well and disrupting customer business operations.  Anyone know who we should contact at Salesforce to expedite a fix?

This player 10 issue is affecting our Flex apps as well. Have you guys found any interim work-arounds?

The problem has been fixed as far as I can tell.  Talked to the Adobe/Salesforce folks at Dreamforce last week and we were able to reproduce the problem from the flex sample code.  Apparently it had to do with the cross-domain policy file on the server - which I believe they updated last week.

Check your connection tag in the Flex code - if you have a specific endpoint defined, try removing it and allow the toolkit to use the default endpoint value.   It should look something like this:

<salesforce:Connection id="apex" />

Hi Ron,

Many thanks for the heads-up.

Tried the base endpoint suggestion but received an SSL Handshake error (our domain is http not https). So I set the apex endpoint protocol to "http" but this too invoked a security error with Flash Player 10 (again, works fine with FP 9).

Still flogging around... man, wish Adobe hadn't pushed v10 so soon. App tested fine internally (player 9), but failed for the client, who, to our surprise, happened to be using v10.

We are only using this block of code to call the toolkit:

<salesforce:Connection id="apex"/>

However, if the cross domain file was indeed updated last week, our problem might be fixed now since we were noticing it before that time and have limited use of the form in the short term to people using earlier versions of flash
