#strict Pragma
activates enhanced conformance to ECMA-26 standard
Flash 5 (undocumented)
#strict
Description
An undocumented and volatile feature, the #strict pragma forces the Flash Player to
conform more closely to the ECMA-262 specification, upon which ActionScript is based. It
affects datatype conversion for the undefined and string datatypes, and it enforces complete
case sensitivity.
The #strict pragma is known to crash Internet Explorer on Windows
under Flash Player 6 and should therefore not be used. At the time of
this writing, Macromedia officially rescinded support for
#strict in
Flash Player 6.0.65.0 after the public beta test of Flash Player 6.0.60.48
revealed outstanding problems. For more details and the latest infor-
mation on the status of
#strict, see: http://www.moock.org/asdg/
