AS2 code will not work directly with AS3. You'll have to use LocalConnection to get the two pieces of code to communicate with each other (very ugly). At this point, you might want to go with one or the other and not both.

Some may not have Flash 9, and really don't want to require them to use a program that isn't even out yet... Also, there are some older AS2 apps that will be adapted to this system. The reason the base is in AS3 is because I want to be able to at least support AS3, since I assume it will eventually dominate, and AS3's got some other functionality that I would like to incorporate. That link to AVM1Movie was really interesting -- It definitely has some very relevant stuff, but I still don't see why AS2 doesn't call the constructor. From what I can tell, the instance is created and all other calls work, but the constructor itself just gets skipped. Has anyone else tried this? Would anyone else be willing to try and see what other information can be gleaned from it? Would it be proper to say that this is a bug (rather than a shortcoming) in Flash Player 9? - Kipp > On 4/6/07, Michael Mudge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I've got an AS 2.0 (Flash 8) SWF that creates a class, and traces a > > property on that class...
