Nope. The Loader class has some additional events and
handlers, but you
probably don't need them here anyway.

Last year we made a website in 2 versions - one for users
with Flash Player
8, another one for those with 6 or 7.
The version 8 made use of several of the new Text features.
We basically had one fla with 2 sets of symbols in the
library for the 2
versions - for the 'older' version symbols we just made
sure, not to use any
of the new features. The fla was published for Flash 8. At
the very
beginning we determined the user's Player Version and
attached the symbols
accordingly.

> Is there a way to make this code into a module
To build a component for this sounds like overkill.
Our project was structured as a number of AS2 classes. One
of them was
'SessionData', where we would store the player version, the
language etc.
Then we passed an instance of this class to all other parts
of the site that
needed it (usually passing it to the constructor of the
other classes).

Not at all clean, but anyway: _global.playerVersion  would
make the
information available to all parts of the movie in a quick
and dirty way.

Ok... Now that I have the version number and the two pieces
of code I need
to use to load the movie based on the version number (thanks
Bob for the
LoadIt script and Jason for the movie clip loader script!) I
have a few
questions. 

Is there a big advantage to using he movie clip loader over
the Load It
Script Bob sent over?  The code is at the bottom of this
email.  If not, I
will keep it simple and use Bob's code for all versions.

Have any of you had a problem writing scripts based on
version numbers? For
instance, I am going to write, if the version number is 6 or
7 load the
movie this way, otherwise load the movie the other way.  (If
they don't have
6 or above users will be sent to their sys admin for a
plug-in).

Is there a way to make this code into a module that is
called when movies
are loaded instead of something that I need to copy and
paste into each
piece? I don't really know how to make components yet.  Is
that something I
need to look into?  Would that work in 6 as well as 8?
