[osflash] was made with flash or flex?

A quick check - not always a guarantee, but look out for the loading bar 
when the thing starts.  Flex has a default that people don't always skin 
- it loads in the Flex framework, and possibly other libs, at the start.

If you can decompile your SWF - you need the beta of ASV6 from 
buraks.com - and look in the first frame:

For Flex it will likely have 2 frames, Frame 1 AS starts like this - 
look for the following

"package {
    import mx.core.*;
    import mx.managers.*;
    import flash.system.*;"

    public class _main_mx_managers_SystemManager extends SystemManager 
implements IFlexModuleFactory {
"

Whereas a Flash file can have 1-N frames and by the look of the 
decompiled AS, your 1st frame begins with:

package filename_fla {

where filename is the name of your FLA or SWF, probably SWF, but I am 
not 100% on this because mine are usually the same.
    
After the import lists there is a class signature.  If this is the 
default class for the main timeline (unless you set your own Document 
class value):

public dynamic class MainTimeline extends MovieClip {

If not, or you use FlashDevelop to compile, you get whatever your class 
signature looks like so here is an example:

package {

    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.text.*;

    public class Main extends Sprite {

There may be other ways, but that's what I can think of off the top of 
my head.
