The first release of the Flash 5 player was plagued with bugs. Now the new fixed player is available for download.
The many bugs in the first version (5,0,30,0) can severely affect the playback performance of your Flash movies. If you are using Flash 5 on your site, make sure you detect which version of the player is in use, and prompt people with version 5,0,30,0 to download the bug-free player 5,0,42,0 or higher. The version number is always available in Flash 5 as the variable '$version'.
