Control Flash Player version in a Mac projector app?

I'm using Flash CS6 to build a Mac projector app. The app is crashing on OS X 10.5.8, and I think it's because the projector is including Flash Player 11.4, which only runs on OS X 10.6+.

My question is: how do I control the version of the player embedded in the projector app?

I've tried targeting Flash Player 10.3 and 9 in the publish settings, but as far as I can guess, that only changes the version of playerglobal.swc used in compiling movie.swf.

After a little more tinkering, the solution seems to be rather simple: the player embedded in the projector is a copy of the player in Flash IDE install directory (ie, /Applications/Adobe Flash CS6/Players/Flash Player). I swapped out that file with the 10.3 version from Adobe Flash Player Downloads and presto, my Mac app embedded the 10.3 player.

Open the plain SWF in any older standalone player, then save as projector from there. There is a similar older question here.
