Re: FLASH: Browser types

[Brad Bechtel]

When building for the web would it be best to build for a lower version of Flash?

At least the lowest version that would accomplish running the intended animation.

Is there a list of the versions and what they support of should just start by exporting my movie in version 1 and if that doesn't work try 2 and so on ?


What's your target audience?  What are you trying to achieve using Flash?


If your target audience is WebTV Classic users, then exporting in SPL format (FutureSplash/Flash 1) will give them the opportunity to view your work, but with limited functionality.  Otherwise I'd stick with Flash 3 format, for the reasons listed before (and as discussed on the Macromedia web site).  I think by far the majority of Flash users will be using a Flash 3 version plugin.


For a list of what's new in Flash 3 (as opposed to Flash 2), check the Help file.
