RE: FLASH: mouse > movieclip

[Paul Willoughby]

I've only looked at F5 briefly over the weekend, but I did notice that when

you are putting your action script together if you pick a function that

doesn't export to Flash 4 (like hittest) it flags it up 'export as Flash 5

to use this feature' or something like that.

_xmouse and _ymouse in F5 are great, but what happens to them if you publish

back to F4 format? This seems like an AS element that wouldn't be

preservable,

unless Flash inserted an invisible MC, set a startDrag, position tracker

etc.

Does anyone know of a breakdown anywhere in terms of which F5 features

downgrade gracefully, and which don't?
