Yes, in most cases Flash 4 sites will display with Flash 3 plugins.


If you go to my Get Properties tutorial the Bird animation is done as a

Flash 4 file.

If you go there with a Flash 4 browser you should see the buttons and

the bird is rotating. If you go there with a Flash 3 plugin you will see

the Bird but it won't be rotating and by an internal Flash 3/4 detection

scheme you will see a text button that says it doedn't work with Flash 3

and if you click it you will go to Macromedia's plugin upgrade page. All

of this is in a single Flash 4 .swf file.

If anyone has poblems with the detection on this page please let me know

asap. I have gone through many versions of this detection script and I

think it is finally working correctly foe all browsers. So please test

it and let me know. If it passes final testing it will be available for

everyone's use. It is very easy to add to any F4 FLA, just create a new

layer, copy one frame and Label your Flash 3 an 4 content frames.
