No, I don't have Generator installed; the "*.swt" type is not even selectable in my publish settings.

Subject: FLASH: Flash 5 actions not backward compatible???


> I'm working on a Flash4 client project which I (reluctantly) began in Flash5 (designer files were all supplied as Flash 5 FLAs). I've tried publishing it to Flash4 format, but it behaves very strangely when playing in a Flash4-equipped browser.  [...]  I'm very familiar with Flash4 actionscript, and have avoided any Flash5-specific commands or syntax.
