How to downgrade Flash?

Downgrade is possible via:

However, I strongly urge anyone NOT to do so unless you are very sure what you are doing and why you need to use a older version of Flash (prior to v10).

The reason? See this:

which doesn't really say much. The keyword however, is "Clickjacking".

Do note while this thread mention about Flash, Clickjacking basically works with everything from javascript to JAVA. While there is not much mention of whether Silverlight is affected, I believe, conceptially, possible.

Anyway, back to downgrading of Flash. Its a very big download because they had archive all possible version of that particular branch into the zip file which you can download at the first link. For example, Flash 9 is 139MB (as of now). 

Well, I am downgrading Flash (for a while at least) for a particular reason. That reason will be obvious in the next few posts in the future.
