As long as Macromedia maintains the SWF format, Flash 4 will be compatible
with Flash 3, 5 with 4, 6 with 5, etc... That's the beauty of a tagged
format. Just like HTML... the browser ignores tags it doesn't know about.
Unfortunately, that means Flash may become more difficult to develop for
backwards compatibility in the future, but hopefully the tools will compensate.
