I have a flash embed that gets hotlinked on many of the social networks (MySpace, Bebo, Friendster, etc...). I want to port my flash application to AS3 to benefit from the new features it entails. However, my analytics report that only 86% of my users are using Flash Player 9.
I want to keep my current Flash 8 version of my player as a Legacy version. What I'm trying is a swf that can load EITHER of the two versions based on the version of Flash Player. I have an AS2 version (with a note telling the user they should upgrade FP), and an AS3 version. Here's the problems that I'm running into: 1) I can't seem to get an AS3 swf to run underneath a Flash 8 published app. Using attachMovie or a loader. 2) I cannot use any javascript as my flash piece is being embedded on servers that I don't have access to. 3) I can't use getURL on myspace due to the new FP9 security features. I could have sworn I've seen this done before. I'll send cookies :D
