Flash 8 was running well under Windows XP, but after I installed Vista and Flash 8 after that, it takes some time to open up movieclips/symbols and closing them up. This is the main problem that’s ticking me, the other being the tool bars being black instead of the default color.

Setting Flash 8 to be compatible for Windows XP SP2 solved the “open/close up” problem.
