Well, because the SWF format is tagged (like HTML), then older players will

tend to ignore things they don't understand. The SWF3 format supports movie

loading, just as the SWF4 format does, so the presence or absence of

certain newer tags shouldn't change much.


Have you tried it yourself yet? If you're trying to make a file that can

play in older players, but which dynamically downloads some MP3-compressed

audio in newer players, then have you considered trying to set a variable

in the main movie? You can then test whether this variable was successfully

created and load the special movie if so.


Close...?
