Short answer: yes. Long answer: ActionScript is a language, Gnash doesn't implement support for the language itself. ActionScript code is converted to a bytecode, and Gnash implements support for interpreting that bytecode. ActionScript versions 1 and 2 both used the same bytecode, while ActionScript 3 uses a different bytecode format, known as the ABC format (for Actionscript Byte Code). There was no special name for the previous bytecodes as far as I know, it was just part of the SWF specification. I haven't done any research myself about the possibility to compile ActionScript3 syntax into the good old well-known anonymous bytecode, anyway that's not what common non-hacked compilers do. --strk; _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
