Let us say you upgrade to the newest Flash player (version seven). It may be because of security concerns, or just because everybody seems to be doing it. Anyway, you then discover what Jeffrey Zeldman discovered, which is player detection scripts don't anticipate other versions. You never know, Zeldman may be trying to get to your Flash site.

While it is difficult to guage the scope of the problem, the fix is much simpler. Developers have the option of going scriptless. And there are any number of very nice scripts which are forward compatible.
