Kerry I agree with you there - while 99% of computers online may have access to flash 2 or 3 some higher (of course) I think that we would be extremely hard pressed to find a majority of online machines with flash above flash 8. Myself, a web developer, only has flash 8 on my machine (I don't code in flash, so no real need to upgrade it any further at this stage...)
I think flash players as old as 2 or 3 would be pretty rare nowdays, however with flash lite on quite a lot of mobile phones (capabilities something like flash 7 I think) and some linux distros coming with open source alternative flash players (capabilities like flash 7 or 8 also) I tend to avoid using anything that needs flash player 9 where possible and so far I haven't found anything I needed to do that really needed actionscript 3 .... ...widgets pulling down xml, etc can be made to work fine using actionscript 2 and my favourite actionscript compiler (which btw was my first rather late introduction to the flash world) - "mtasc" ( http://www.mtasc.org/ ) is for actionscript 2. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
