    Description

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Build Flex client using Ant - flexTasks.jar is executed.
      2. Ant should create playerProductInstall.swf among other files.

      Actual Results:
      A playerProductInstall.swf is created but not functioning properly - Flash Updater dialog is not popping up.
      After investigation, we found out that flexTasks.jar from C:{install_directory}Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.2.0\ant\lib has a MANIFEST.MF which states that the jar was compiled and built using java 1.4.2_14-b05. It's incompatible with the java version we use - 1.6x.
      Note, that if we build our app using Eclipse which uses java 1.6x, the prepareInstall.swf works properly.
      The visual difference between prepareInstall files is in the size: good - 557bytes and bad - 661bytes.

      Expected Results:
      User runs a Flex app in the browser with FlashPlayer 9.0 installed. Flex app is checking a FlashPlayer version and if it is not 10, then FlashPlayerUpdated dialog should pop up and prompt user to initiated seamless update.

      Workaround (if any):
      We can avoid usage of flexTasks.jar and just copy a good prepareInstall.swf which was created by Eclipse.
      We think though, that the proper way is to use Ant -> flexTasks.jar
