Re: Flash player 6

Personally, I'd go with the lowest version you think you'll
need *if* 
you're after the highest number of viewers and don't want to
make them 
upgrade their version.

However, I'm wondering if you could make a
"version.as" class file with 
a function that gets the version number as a var, and then
uses an 
if/else statement.....?  I haven't got far enough along with
classes to 
know if this is doable and/or reasonable, but one of the
gurus should be 
able to tell you.

Just a couple o' thoughts.  My entire quota for the day.

Well the problem is not going to be delt with in flash, if i
remember
correctly, MovieClipLoader was not in flash 6 and will throw
compile
errors(or just not work at all). This means that your base
file would have
to be published for 6 and all other files loaded as well. So
you would not
be able to do a conditional for version inside of flash.

So with that being said, i'd make two functions in
javascript for the embeds
and then use a version sniffer script to detect what swf set
to embed.

But I haven't tested to see if the MovieClipLoader class is
even accessible
in 6 but i'm pretty sure it isn't :(
