HI, I have a flash site designed in AS2 and want to embed a AS3 video player in it. If I republish the AS2 site to AS3 the website doesnt function, and if I load the AS3 swf into the website, the Player doesnt function.

I need the AS2 functionality on the website and I need the advanced AS3 functionality on the video Player.

Is there any way to get these two guys to talk to each other?

Here is how I get around that problem with Articulate (which is based on AS2) and launch AS3 code.

Instead of trying to launch an AS3 SWF directly, create a web object that launches an index.html with the AS3 swf embedded. The web object will act independently of the original AS2 swf
