ABSTRACT
Interactivity ACTIONSCRIPT KEEPS GETTING more powerful with each new release, but don’t be afraid to experiment with older versions of the language. In some cases, you may need to! For example, many ad agencies still require that SWFs be published for Flash Player 7, or even 6. In a situation like that, ActionScript 3.0 is out of the question. If you’re a die-hard fan of on() and onClipEvent(), you’ll find you can’t use those any more in AS3, so even if you publish for Flash Player 9 or higher, you’d have to bump back the version of ActionScript in your publish settings.
