Sarah was pretty vague, but perhaps she's referring to the layered text

described here:

"Issues with the Macromedia Flash Player 5"

But for your post, I'd first wonder why you wanted to "convert" it at all.

If it works now, why change it? Assuming you're using reasonable variable

names, then it will work in the new Player.


If there is some reason you have to change an old project around, perhaps

to take advantage of new abilities, then for the first couple of times in a

new environment it can be easier to start with new, small test projects...

play around, get a feel for it. Once you're comfortable with it you can

then drop a big ol' completed project in it and check it, step by step.
