Re: FLASH: making f5 movies f4 compatible

[Helen Triolo]

When you Publish from Flash 5 with Flash4 selected in the Publish

Settings, Flash should show you each line that won't work in Flash 4. 

For example, for the following 3 lines in frame 1:


set (x, 5);

var y = 1;

var c = atan2(30);


I get this in the output window when I try to publish as Flash 4:


Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 2: You must export your

movie as Flash 5 to use this action.

     var y = 1;


Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 3: You must export your

movie as Flash 5 to use this action.

     var c = atan2(30);


Does your movie work in Flash 5 and not Flash 4, but not give you any

error messages in the output window when you publish as F4?  (Never seen

such a case myself).


Regards,

Helen
