Re: [Flashcoders] how does ExternalInterface behave in Flash 7 and earlier

2006-01-20 Thread Nathan Derksen

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

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.
