Hi,
actually the flash 9 player is the current version, allthough I doubt many
people
in the world have it, since version 8 just got released not too long ago.
Tho I do think
releasing something in version 8 isn't that big a deal, since alot of
people
have it
allready (

).
cheers,

Also, if you want to use a better language than ActionScript2, haXe can
compile for Flash Players 6,7,8. And when in the future you want to
target Flash Player 9, there is FP9 support so you will not have to
learn a new language at this time.
Also, since there is conditional compilation, you are able to write the
following :
#if flash9
.... // code specific for flash9
#else flash
.... // code for flash <= 8
#end
This way, you can continue using most of your codebase by simply
changing the places where the Flash API has been modified between FP8
and FP9. All the code logic will remains the same.
Actually someone is working on a "crossplayer API" that will behave the
same on all Flash Player versions. This way by using this API you can
ensure that your content can run on Players 6 to 8.
