ExternalInterface requires Flash 8, it won't compile back to v7.
You can use the integration kit just fine. There is a distinction
between extending an open source project and using it as a library.
In this case, you are using it unmodified as a library, which does
not require you to make your whole project open source. You are
thinking of the GPL, while when using an open source project as a
library would be covered instead under the LGPL, the "lesser" GPL. In
the case of this kit, the license is much more lenient than either
the GPL or the LGPL. The license for the integration kit can be seen
at http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flashjavascript/license.txt

am wondering if the externalInterface is an IDE thing or player
specific

use of the
externalInterface and if so how are people dealing with this? Are
you guys
waiting for a greater penetration of the Flash8 player?
The current project is not open source and I believe that means
that I can't
use the Flash-Javascript integration kit.
Thanks,
