Run this, once in flash player6-setting, and one time in 7/8, both

But how come this is so indifferent results, was perhaps the output of
flsahplayer6 wrong accordingly to ecma?
trace(!isNaN(undefined))
That would be pretty old news and was one of the things changed back then.
var t;
trace(Number(t));
// gives:
// 0 in Flash 6
// NaN in Flash 7+
Just like:
var s;
trace(String(s));
// gives:
// "" in Flash 6
// "undefined" in Flash 7+
That is, Number- and String-conversion of undefined was changed. So was
String-to-Boolean-conversion (non-empty string are alwas true now) and
null-to-Number-conversion (null is NaN, not 0) - at least those are the
4 primitive datatype conversion changes that I remember :)
It was done in order to conform with the ECMAScript standard, yes. :)
