Hi Jason, What I was basically saying (earlier in the conversation) is that if you use: [Embed(source="clips.swf", symbol="someSymbol")] instead of [Embed(source="clips.swf")] on a Flash 8 SWF, then actually the symbol is _translated_ into AVM2 by the compiler, but all the code is stripped out. So it is no longer AVM1. If you just embed the Flash 8 SWF itself (without using 'symbol=') then the Flash 8 SWF is created as AVM1Movie, and has the problems you mention.
