Can't imagine it will, but man would that be a boon considering the

distribution of F3.<<


Actually, this has happened all along, in limited fashion. The Flash file

format is actually a series of tags that are interpreted by the player (or

more info on the tag set, see http://www.flash.com/open/). If there is a tag

being read that the older player cannot understand, it just skips to the

next readable tag. For example, I am Joe User and I have the Flash Player

version 2. I go to a site that has Flash 3 files which contain transparency,

shape tweening and other Flash 3 features. Instead of seeing some annoying

error message, I will still see graphics, audio and other elements that are

not using version 3 features. I hope I explained this okay.


My best to all.
