flash (macromedia) : Problems With Flash Player 7/8

A file of mine is made from Flash 8. I have no problem viewing it on my browser
because I have Flash Player 8. But I used my Mom's computer and she has flash
player 7, because most people still have that. So, when I play it on Flash
player 7, all I see is two black circles pop up and a buzzing noise.

Any Ideas?

Or set publish settings to Flash 7 assuming you are not using some
new ----player 8---- feature.

A typical deployment issue is do you want your visitors to have to go to
Macromedia for a player update and so if you are not using a newer player's
features, you can minimize that by publishing in the most recent player
having the greatest penetration:

V8 is not there yet perhaps waiting for the quarterly data to be finalize,
but hopfully we will be seeing this updated with Adobe in charge. Adobe hope
you are listening how important this page is to development decisions now
you have developers as customers. :-)
