[Laszlo-dev] Flash 10 runtime now supported in trunk

[Henry Minsky]

Also, please be aware, if you have code that you want to compile or
run conditionally on Flash 9
and Flash 10 , use the "$as3" compile time constant, so instead of

if ($swf9) { ...

say

if ($as3) { ...


In LZX code, there is a new syntax for the <switch> tag, in the <when> clause.

Formerly, you would say

<when runtime="swf9">

Now, you can conditionalize on any compile time constant, which is one of
$debug, $profile, $backtrace, $swf7, $swf8, $as2, $swf9, $swf10, $as3,
$dhtml, $j2me, $svg, $js1

The new syntax is

<switch>
  <when property="$as3">

There is actually an extension of this syntax to compare string
values, so you can say

<switch>
  <when property="$runtime" value="dhtml">

But this is of limited use, because only the $runtime property is a
string value, and all the other compile
time constants listed above are booleans.
