Hi! There’s one thing I can’t understand yet. Things like this I sometimes find in classes code:

[SWF( width=‘600’, height=‘400’, frameRate=‘30’, backgroundColor=’#FFFFFF’ )]

It seems more a flax syntax than a flash one, but I sometimes find it in classes used in flash. I’m a flash (cs4), not flex user (definitely not), so I’d like to know why I can do it with flash, but first of all, what’s that syntax, so maybe I can better search the docs and the web for reference about that.

Anyone knows? 🙂
