[Extendflash] Differenciating between Flash 7 and flash 8

[Ibis Fernandez]

Do to some of the changes between the JSFL for Flash 7 and that for Flash 8,
I'm having to do some updating on some of my extensions.

My question is, is there a function or method I can use so my extension can
tell which version of flash it being used on, so that for example if the
user has flash 8 or greater that certain function will be available that can
make use of the new code, while if the user is using flash 7 then they can
continue to use the same original functions?

Yes My Toon Titan extension made use of Tab indexing on the text fields and
sliders but they no longer work in flash 8. Not sure wether your seeking a
confirmatiojn or a solution but as far as confirming it yes, it no longer
work. As far as a solution, I doubt there is one.

Another thing that got screwed up is the functions dealing with control over
the stroke properties. So if you extension did anything that affects the
size, color, style of an outline then we have to figure out how to make it
work with the new changes. So much for backwards/forward compatibility.

Not to break up the fun, but ...

Does anyone use panels or custom UIs that have textfields or other UI 
elements that used to be able to use tab/enter and now don't in Flash 8?

Is it just me?  Here's an example SWF Panel if anyone wants to try.
