Access

Description
The $version property contains the same string as
the return value of the global getVersion( )
function (operating system, followed by Player version information).
The $version property was introduced midway
through the life cycle of the Flash 4 Player and has been replaced by
the getVersion( ) function. It is technically
not a global property, but a property of the main movie timeline;
from any other movie clip timeline, it must be accessed as
_root.$version.
