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

[David Rorex]

If you want to compile for flash 6/7/8, you can use mtasc. If you want to
compile for 6/7/8/8.5(aka 9), you could port your code to haXe.
Otherwise, you could have 2 versions of your movie (one for 6/7/8, and one
for 8.5(aka 9)), and use JS to load the appropriate one.
