I’ve recently upgraded to CS3 and have found that strokes made in Flash 8 with stroke hinting cannot be published to Flash Player 6 and 7 when you open them in CS3.

Flash 8 has no problem publishing these files to Flash Player 6 and 7.

It seems if I want to use CS3, I cannot smooth the edges of rounded strokes unless I publish them to flash player 8 or later? This doesn’t seem right.

I’ve also noticed a difference in how Flash CS3 publishes files with hidden layers that then become visible using AS and buttons… is this true or is it probably something isolated to my project?
