[Extendflash] Differenciating between Flash 7 and flash 8

[Lanny McNie]

I often check the availability of a flash 8-only jsfl function

function is8() {
return (fl.browseForFolderURL == undefined);
}

Interesting side note: While testing this initially, I noticed that tracing
a built-in function returned some pseudo code, further investigation showed
that tracing a homemade JSFL method would actually trace out the function as
code.
