Translucent not working with flash player 11.0.1.152

We experienced problems with the translucent (windowless) flash control after updating the flash player ActiveX control to the latest version 11.0.1.152 on Windows systems. The transparent flash animations are rendered on a black background instead of the correct transparent background.
The problem can easily be reproduced using the Sample4_Translucency.exe precompiled sample from from the f-in-box delphi demo 3.5.4 download archive. If the program is executed on a system with a pre Flash 11 player installed the translucency is displayed correctly (e.g. flash player 10.3 or below). If executed with using the flash player 11 the circles are displayed on a black rectangle.
Do you have any hints how to avoid this behavior?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Yes...

Currently I would recommend to embed into application one of previous versions.

Thank you.

Hello,

well embedding sure is a short term "solution" but would cost a lot of affords for our application an installers.

Can You give any kind of estimation if and when a solution for the problem will be available (perhabs a coupleof weeks or months or never...) so we can plan the further development of our application.

Thank You.

Hello,

may I ask You, if it is a fix in your software or a fix in the flashplayer?

I checked the behaviour and got the result that your version 3.5.5 will not work with the flash player 11.0.x - as the older version of Your software. After updating the flash player to the current version 11.1.102.55 f-in-box version 3.5.5 is working correctly - and older versions of your software as well!.

As a conclusion is it true that flash player 11.0.x is not supported by Your
software and only versions <=10.x and >=11.1.x can be used?

Thanks in advance!

Indeed, it seems that new version of flash player issued.

But 3.5.5 should work well with 11.0.x, we found a way of how to works with it.

Do you still see a black background? If you start sample #4 from the demo version you still see black background?

Thank you.
