Actions created using tool recording backward compatible?

Are actions created using the new "allow tool recording" option in PSCS6 backward compatible to previous versions? IOW, would an action created under CS6 using this option play correctly in CS4 or CS5 versions?

    They are not even compatable between CS6 machines. Fast machines record more data then slow machines can play in a at a resonable rate

    JJ didn't quite say it, but the answer to your original question is no.  Older versions will not recognize the steps in which tool operations are recorded.  I've tested it.

     

    Keep in mind also that actions with tool recordings in them can be quite huge.
