Appreciate it. Is this considered the "correct way" to do this?
Meaning that checking for unsupported code, etc?

If you are just looking to perform different actions per flash version...
Using a flash 7 movie (have not checked 8 but assume it would work on that
as well) you can check what version of flash the client is being used.
Then code specific actions for that version of flash to execute. In one
project I used the following .... (it's a bit of a bodge but works :o) )
//On frame 1 I checked for to see if flash 5 sytax was supported.
var checkFlash5 = true;
// as flash 4 player does not support _root this condition will
return false
// as 4 is no good displayed anim asking them to upgrade :o)
if (_root.checkFlash5)
{
gotoAndPlay (4);
}
else
{
play();
}
// on frame 2
// contain any actions you wish to perform for a flash 4 player and
stop();
// on frame 4
// contains code to check flash player versions
o = new Object ();
o.version = getVersion().split(",");
o.majorVersion = int(substring(o.version[0],o.version[0].length,
1));
o.minorVersion = int(o.version[2]);
// you can then perform any actions you wish to depending on version
Hope that this is maybe of some help
