Player

Flash 5 or later. In Flash 4 the & operator was used for concatenating strings. In Flash 5 the & operator is a bitwise AND, and the add and + operators concatenate strings. Flash 4 files that use the & operator are automatically updated to use add when brought into the Flash 5 authoring environment.
