[Swftools-common] Flash Version 8 + ActionScript / ExternalInterface

[Stefan Krulj]

Hi everybody,

I'm new to swftools so sorry about such a basic question, but I didn't
find any solution on the Internet.
I wonder why every ActionScript example is using Flash version 6 or 5.
I currently try "porting" the basic tutorial script
(http://www.swftools.org/swfc/swfc.4.html) to version 8. It seems that
after changing  version to 8, the script won't run at all.

I need this because I need to use the interface between Flash and
JavaScript: the "ExternalInterface"-object. As mentioned on Adobe's
website this object needs Flash 8+. I also tried just using it, but it
seems not to work - is it just me or do i really need to change the
version to 8?

Thanks in advance,
