[osflash] Flex2 SDK - produce non-v8.5 swfs?

[Tim Walling]

I don't believe you'll be able to produce a swf that can play on an older
player. Flash 8.5 (9) is a requirement for Flex 2. The basic framework is
built on the new player and takes advantage of all kinds of new features,
e4x, etc. Not to mention you're required to write Actionscript 3 which won't
run without the new AVM in Flash 8.5 (9).
