Most likely the SWF was published in CS5 in a newer format and that is why it cannot be read correctly by F8.

Here is a FLA for you in the Flash 8 format:

for others, you need the fla, not the swf.

Tried to use JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler to convert it to fla but I just keep getting "unexpected file format" errors when I try to import it to flash 8. I know this has to do with the version so I tried exporting it as a flash 8 document too, but it still won't work. What should I do? Using the sfw gives me a "protected movie" error.
