I believe that is what http://www.kongregate.com/ is doing with some AS3 content (search for "understanding games").
When I looked up that article, the page has a disclaimer that says that Flash player 9 is required. This doesn't mean they couldn't do what you're saying, but I don't know of any method aside from IFrames, JScript, etc. I hate to tell you, but working under those constraints will require you to use flash 8, since you have no control over the site, and do not want users to see a blank control when they don't have flash 9. I want it to load a Flash 8 movie that determines that the user has flash 9,
and then load the AS3 version. You said yourself that you know that flash 8 can't load flash 9 content,
so I'm not sure how you would plan to do this. Sorry I don't have any help, but my past experience has been that you need to support the older environment. I would love to be proved wrong, though! -Scott On 5/8/07, jnbeck86 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hey thanks for the reply Scott! I understand that I can't play AS3 content in Flash 8. In the situation of a user only having Flash 8, they would see the Flash 8 / AS2 content. However, what if the user has Flash Player 9? I want it to load a Flash 8 movie that determines that the user has flash 9, and then load the AS3 version. I believe that is what http://www.kongregate.com/ is doing with some AS3 content (search for "understanding games"). Could someone point me in the right direction of how to accomplish this, I'm hitting a wall. Thanks! Nate
