I'm fairly new to flash, and I don't really understand flash coding very well to fix my problem. I also like to add that, this freeware program was created by a Japanese programer and I cannot contact them for help, because their website no longer exists.

I am hosting a client through my computer where people can draw together in a room. Before entering, there is list that shows usernames that are currently drawing in that room. The problem is no one can see the list of names in the latest flash player. In order to see the names the flash player needs to be downgraded to version 9.0.47.0. Is there a way to fix this by changing the coding?

This a working example of what I am talking about, it isn't my website but it is essentially the same http://midna.info/pchat/

when I open the HTML file in my dreamweaver the following code in the flash section is written like this:

Code:

 <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
 id="pchat_user_list" align="middle" height="300" width="200">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="movie" value="pchat_user_list.swf">
<param name="quality" value="low">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
<embed src="pchat_user_list.swf" quality="low" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="pchat_user_list" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
 align="center" height="300" width="200">
</object>

I don't know where to begin to solve this problem, so any help will be appreciated.
