Consider the following code:

if (undefined || true) trace(“true”);
else trace(“false”);

if (undefined || “true”) trace(“true”);
else trace(“false”);

if (“true”) trace(“true”);
else trace(“false”);

In Flash CS3 (have not tested with other versions) if you publish this for Flash Player 7 or later your output window receives these traces (as expected):

true
true
true

If you publish for FP6 you get:

true
false
true

That is some strange behaviour. This can be a gotchya if you are writing AS2 code that targets the FP6 because chances are you may be use to writing conditional statements like this.
