For those interested, Macromedia is running a public beta of Flash Player 7.
http://www.macromedia.com/software/f...r/public_beta/

There are some nifty new features (textfield.stylesheet being one).

It's worthwhile downloading it to check any version sniffing you have running - before its final release.

Cheers

If I install it is it gonna replace the flash player 6 that is already on my comp?

Yes, updating your player will replace the old version.

You could try backing up your current plugin version before you install or try installing to Netscape.

b.t.w there's a list of older plugin versions here (very useful for testing):
