public getSWFVersion() : Number

the movie clip is a JPEG, GIF, or PNG file, or if an error occurs and Flash Player can't
determine the SWF version of the movie clip, -1 is returned.
You can extend the methods and event handlers of the MovieClip class by creating a subclass.

Returns

- An integer that specifies the Flash Player version that was targeted when the SWF
file loaded into the movie clip was published.
Example
The following example creates a new container and outputs the value of
getSWFVersion()
. It
then uses MovieClipLoader to load an external SWF file that was published to Flash Player 7
and outputs the value of
getSWFVersion()
after the
onLoadInit
handler is triggered.
var container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",
this.getUpperEmptyDepth());
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onLoadInit = function(target:MovieClip):Void {
trace("target: " + target.getSWFVersion()); // target: 7
}
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(listener);
trace("container: " + container.getSWFVersion()); // container: 8
mcLoader.loadClip("FlashPlayer7.swf", container);
