You *should* be able to take a Flash 4 FLA, open it in Flash 5, with no

compatibility issues. Of course, you can't save changes in Flash 5 and open

it in Flash 4 again.

A file that works in Flash 4, opened in Flash 5, with no changes - does that

work? Did you change anything?

Sounds like a path issue. If you chose a path that was wrong, it's possible

that the object whose _visibility you're setting doesn't exist, and so it

just affects the whole timeline.


If you can give us more details, that would be helpful.
