Paul,

I'm confused. You're talking about AIR and browsers and Poser 8. AIR is the standalone Flash player that allows developers to deploy Flash applications that run as if they are full-fledged Windows applications, with full file system capabilities. AIR is not in any way connected to browsers, or Poser 8.

There is an AIR version of the library for Poser Pro 2010. But we're talking about Poser 8, right?

So you have the Flash version if the library. This is the version that needs browser components, only because Flash needs to be embedded in a Browser. AIR applications do not need to be embedded in a browser.

Now, as to Flash10d, well that is a very buggy version. Google it - tons of problems. In my work with NCR, we do digital signage and for a while we were using Flash10d in the players. It was constantly crashing, leaking memory, and generally causing havoc. At the time, it was the newest version. After months of debugging, we went back to Flash10c and all was well. I was tearing my hair out over that one - accused of producing a bad media player when it was a bad Flash.

Meanwhile, I'm using flash10h.ocx now and it works great.
