I got Flash CS3 installed. Is there an easy way to create a master swf now? And will i be able to load external movieclips from CS3 to Flash 8. Example: My master swf is CS3 and my external movieclips are flash 8 or vice versa.

ActionScript

Correct answer kglad

use the loader class:

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

addChild(loader);

loader.load(new URLRequest("yourloadedswf.swf"));

the key issue is not whether a swf is created with cs3 or flash 8. it's whether the swf is published for as2 or as3.

an as3 swf can load as2 swfs and both the actionscript 2 and 3 will work.

an as2 swf can load an as3 swf but the actionscript in the as3 file won't work. however, you can circumvent that limitation by creating a new master as3 swf.
