When you create a new FLA document, Flash asks you which version of ActionScript you want to use. You can change this setting if you decide
later to write your scripts in a different version of ActionScript.
Note: ActionScript 3.0 is not compatible with ActionScript 2.0. The ActionScript 2.0 compiler can compile all ActionScript 1.0 code, except for the
slash (/) syntax used to indicate movie clip paths (for example, parentClip/testMC:varName= "hello world"). To avoid this problem, either rewrite
your code using dot (.) notation, or select the ActionScript 1.0 compiler.
1. Select File > Publish Settings and then select the Flash tab.
2. Select the ActionScript version from the pop-up menu.
Class files and configuration files (CS5)
When you install Flash Professional, several ActionScript-related configuration folders and files are placed on your system. If you modify these
files to customize the authoring environment, back up the original files.
ActionScript classes folder Contains all of the built-in ActionScript 2.0 classes (AS files). Typical paths to this folder are as follows:
Windows XP: Hard Disk\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS5\language\Configuration\Classes
Windows Vista: Hard Disk\Users\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS5\language\Configuration\Classes
Macintosh: Hard Disk/Users/user/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5/language/Configuration/Classes
The Classes folder is organized into classes for Flash Player 7 (FP7), classes for Flash Player 8 (FP8), classes for Plash Player 9 (FP9), and
the mx package, which is used in both players and in ASO files. For more information on the organization of this directory, see the Read Me
file in the Classes folder.
