Great snippet, thanks for sharing!

@Anonymous: It comes handy when you want to use one of the new features of FlashPlayer 10. In example if you use FileReference to save a file and the user is on version 9.

Neat, except that your demo snippet doesn’t show up on Flash Player 8 and below because there is no such thing as Actionscript 3 there. So frankly I don’t even get what is that Compatibility class for?

thanks for the snippet, very useful. I was trying to figure this out the other day and this implementation is much more elegant. Thank you!

hey,
for sure – just ask for the version in an if-conditional. e.g.

if(_versionInfo == 10) {
mc1.visible = true;
mc2.visible = false;

mc1.gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
mc2.visible = true;
mc1.visible = false;

mc2.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

don’t forget the stop(); in the first frame of your different movieclips.
