There's just been a point release of Flash CS3 Professional (one of the 
reasons I have a Windows box is to run Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design 
Premium). Either as part of that, or as a related project, Adobe have 
issued Flash Player 9 Update 3 - version 9.0.115.0. I suspect that the 
old distribution file has been withdrawn at the same time.

http://tinyurl.com/39co9f has the release notes (found via the Flash CS3 
release notes on my Windows machine).


In other words - the port needs updating for the new Flash Player.



Best wishes,




David
