Re: FLASH: Platform / version sniffer that will also work in Flash 4 player I Really need this to work

[Gregg Caines]

Like I said, you'll need to do a bit of debugging...

Set up a text box on your main timeline and set it

to the value of  'Substring(playerVersion,0,1' so

that you can figure out what the value is.  If it is

'M' or 'W', then you can figure out why the targets

aren't being called.  If it isn't, you need to work on

that.  I thought that the platform was written in

lowercase, but I could be wrong.  A little debugging

will clear it up pretty quickly though, I bet.
