Detect ActionScript and Flash player version of Published SWF

[Guest]

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

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.

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

[Kenneth Kawamoto · Accepted solution]

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

Thank

Pulling out what hair I have left over here. Whether I load an AS2 or AS3 SWF into my clip checkRevisedMC I get the same trace result "false"

I have an event listener for when the file has loaded:

fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, versionHandler);

// Function that fires off when upload is complete

function versionHandler(event:Event):void {

     trace("versionHandler has been called");

       trace(checkRevisedMC.content is AVM1Movie);

}

What am I missing over here? Thanks.
