Re: [flexcoders] FileReference.load()
Ah, I see what you're saying now. The answer is you're not going to be able
to do it unless you use 10, because the compiler looks at the compatible
player version and includes version-specific swcs at compile time (Flex
Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\player\9\playerglobal.swc vs
Flex Builder 3
Plug-in\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\player\10\playerglobal.swc). Therefore
load will never be available no matter what player is playing it if you're
specifiying 9 as the lowest compatible version. These libs don't exist in
the player itself, it's supplied by the swf.

RE: [flexcoders] FileReference.load()
Interesting! If it's true I think it has to do with there being a difference in
major version number, and that number getting written into the SWF header. It
may well be that Player 10 APIs are made invisible to a SWF whose header says
it is for Player 9. I think this may be how the addition of the z property to
DisplayObject was added without disruption to SWFs that defined their own
subclasses with a z property.
I'm pretty sure that it doesn't apply for minor version changes. For example if
you compile with a playerglobal.swc for 10.0, I'm almost certain that you can
use code like
if (doSomething in obj)
obj[doSomething]();
to look for and call a doSomething() method that has been added for 10.1. But
that's doesn't help you.

Nope, I've tried that too. Has that worked for you, or are you guessing?

Unfortunately,
if (load in fileReference)
does not succeed unless I specify Player 10 in the build settings.

Nice! But it's not working for me yet. The in expression doesn't succeed.
I'll keep digging through the reflection docs, but if you have any refinements,
please pass them along.

Try this:

That should compile against the Player 9 version of playerglobal.swc, but, in
Player 10, detect that the method exists and call it by name.

RE: [flexcoders] FileReference.load()
Try this: if (load in fileReference) fileReference[load](); That should compile against the Player 9 version of playerglobal.swc, but, in Player 10, detect that the method exists and call it by name. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Rodseth Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 6:12 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] FileReference.load() I was hoping to provide an optional feature that requires reading a local file if Player 10 is available, without requiring 10 for the whole application. But it appears that I can't compile code that uses FileReference.load() without setting the target player in FlexBuilder. Anyone dealt with this situation?
