Well just recently, I got the new version of Flash, which is CS4.

It's pretty cool, and by now I've gotten used to the newish type look.

There is a problem however, when it comes to collabs, or any other type of partner project whatsoever, some people(or most) still use Flash 8.

And whenever I try to, CS4 files won't go into Flash 8.

Since it's a new version I understand, but does anyone know a way to get a CS4 format into an 8 format?

Get CS3 as well and convert it down to CS3 and then from CS3 convert it down to 8.

Only option as far as I know.

yes, this is happening with a lot of people... although it is annoying to download two programs... you can do scarecrows idea..

or just get cs3..

What Scarecrow said, or just tie those .flas in CS4 thats the easiest way to do that.

edit: and you still can use "export movie, import" buttons..

i'm pretty sure theres a way to save the fla as a lower flash version.
when you go to save as, click fla and see whats under it, i don't have flash installed or else i'd look myself.

It only gives you CS3 and CS4.
