Im doing a tutorial at this url
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/first_comm_app.html

Its made in flash mx and FCS and there are some inconsistancies in the tutorial between versions of flash Im hoping someone can help clear up for me.

It says:

1.Open Macromedia Flash MX.
2.If it's not already visible, open the Components Panel (Window > Components).
3.Select Communication Components from the Component Panel pop up menu.
4.If it's not already visible, open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
5.Save your new (and still empty) application as firstapp.fla, in the same folder you created (flashcom\applications\firstapp\) for the server-side code.
6.Drag a SimpleConnect component from the Component Panel to the top-left corner of the stage.
7.Drag a SetBandwidth component to the stage and give it an instance name of bw_mc in the Property Inspector.

I see none of these components in flash 8
my flash media server is running
what do I do?
TIA

    They'll work with any version of Flash MX2004 or Flash 8. You don't need Flash 8 professional

    You don't need an update, you just need to download and install the communication components.

    As he said, you need Flash 8 Professional, not Flash 8 standard. Those components are only available with the Pro version.
