FLASH: Backwards compatibility

[Larissa Holland]

I've read from several postings that once you open a F4 doc in F5, you

can't open it again in F4. I don't have 5 yet, but doesn't it have a

'save as Flash4' option when you export a movie? If so, can't you then

open the .swf back into Flash 4 if you need to (I mean import it into a

blank doc and resave it as a .fla). An

around-your-elbow-to-get-to-your-ear solution, but wouldn't that work if

you were in a tight fix?
