Capabilities Class

[padnpen]

I was going through all the different properties and methods of the Capabilities Class and figured others might benefit from taking a look at this code. All I did was look into each one a little and use some of the definitions ALREADY supplied. However, it was very insightful to have it all in front of me at once.

Has anyone used these before? Which ones? What problems did you run into? What should I know before using them?

Throw this into a new movie:

wow, this was so long to go on throgh
not trying to disappoint you but try this ONLY 2 LINES

for(i in System.capabilities)
trace("YOUR "+i+" is: " + System.capabilities[i]);
