Hi,

I have a website here that is in AS2 and I’m thinking about exporting to either Flash Player 8 or 9.

Now here’s my question:

Is there any advantage exporting to Flash Player 9 over Flash Player 8 when my movie is in AS2 ?

I’ve heard that Flash Player 9 has performance advantages I just don’t know if that applied for AS2 as well…

Thanx for your help and advise in advance !

Mike
