Hi,

I told a client that I would fix their contact form utilizing PHP to do the processing, and then found out that the client is using AS 1.0 in their movie. Of course, I had assumed that the AS would be 2.0 and I didn't even ask before accepting the job. Mental head slap. The script that I wrote works beautifully in 2.0 (it uses variables out the yahoo), but now won't work with 1.0. My main question is: does anyone still create websites using AS 1.0? It seems completely assinine to me. But I may be wrong, which is why I ask. I have a feeling that if you are building a complete website with Flash you are targeting a certain audience, and that audience will have the most current Flash Player installed. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? Why would someone purposely use depreciated AS?


I think I'm going to tell my client I'm not interested in the form. I can't even remember how to code in 1.0--I did it for such a short amount of time.

Thanks for your thoughts,
Lumen

First, I'll take the job! Please PM me with some info so we can discuss it.

Secondly, you alway want to maximize your audience. People don't update computers that often. Even thought I design in flash, my GF doesn't update her FP to 8. I tried to get her to, and she just ignores the pop up messages. So yes....many people still use earlier flash versions.
