His SWC contains all sorts of stuff that the Flex 1.5 SWF parser can't figure out. The normal strategy in tag-based systems is to skip stuff you don't understand, but in this case, the stuff is directly associated with the AS2 class, so it can't be skipped and also used.
I just ran an experiment on a cow-orkers system while he wasn't watching, where I changed the "publish settings" to FP7 and then exported the SWC. When I perused it in our SWF dump tool, I didn't see anything in there that would have made Flex 1.5 unhappy. So no, Flex 1.5 can't possibly exploit new FP8 tag-based features, but I believe that it should be possible to use Studio 8 to build stuff that can interoperate with Flex 1.5, as long as you publish in FP7 mode. -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Muzak > Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 2:22 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: Re[2]: [flexcoders] SWC's in Flex > > That must be it. > Jxl sent me the swc.
