So, I’ve got some major problems. For one thing, I’ve got a rapidly approaching deadline for a project. This project was made in AS2, because I was basing it off of some other project that I had made.

The problems come in here: I now need a video with close-captioning, so I utilized the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component, which worked beautifully, but it’s AS3 only. And apparently you can’t load AS3 swfs from an AS2 swf… So what should I do? Time is running out :stare:

Thanks in advance
