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.

The Flash IDEs use the authoring player regardless of the installed
browser player, so it is specific to the IDE.

var v:Array = System.capabilities.version.split(' ');
var vn:Array = v[1].split(',');
if (Number(vn[0]) == 7)
{
// Flash MX 2004
}
else
{
// Flash 8 
}

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?
