Detect ActionScript and Flash player version of Published SWF

Hi

I am looking for a way to find ActionScript and Flash player version of a published SWF using AS3 code?

Did google a lot, but didn't find anything relevant.

Thanks for help

The AVM1 movie load fine with the Loader object as well.. So i am not sure, what you mean by loading it through Loader?


Once loaded you can tell if it's an AVM1 movie or not, i.e.

trace(loader.content is AVM1Movie);
// true = AS1/2, false = AS3

This link to the Flash ActionScript Reference will get you started but it only gives you the FP version not the AS version...

Thanks for that link.

But is it possible to get the ActionScript version? Since there might be AS2 code bublished in FP 9 or above?

You can load the SWF with Loader and check if it's an AVM1Movie.
