I believe that the whole point is that the person wants to ensure that his FLAs are saved for version MX, so that the coder using only MX can pick up the baton from the coder with a v8 install.

I don't think that's the case. Afaik, there is no way to get this information from JSFL. JSFL implementation in Flash 7/8 is mediocre, imho. While there are some very useful things you can do with JSFL, it all feels like a hack. The document support is terrible (not documentation, although that's not fabulous either). I really hope JSFL in Flash CS3 got a revamp. Although, since it didn't make the top 10 things new about Flash CS3, I'm guessing not much was changed. I really hope I'm wrong. The only thing I've ever seen in regards to determining the version of the FLA is a tool called FLAVer by Tim Goss that launches the version of Flash on your system that most closely matches the FLA version. I don't know the specifics, but he figured out how to get the version by reading parts of the FLA file. I realize it doesn't answer the question directly, but it does demonstrate that there is a way to get this information. But, afaik, not from JSFL.

It's been reported that changing this value using JSFL does not work (a bug). However, you CAN read it. Refer to my blog entry regarding the XML Publish settings file to see how to get the version number out of it. http://www.stevensacks.net/2006/08/06/using/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
