I have a Flash 8 / AS 2.0 application that I developed over the last 6 months, I just upgraded to CS3 and I find that whenever I try to export the FLA file it crashes the entire Flash CS3 program.

I have tried exporting as Flash 8 and AS 2.0 but this makes no difference. I have upgraded to 9.0.0.2 and still the same problem. The same program exports and runs perfectly in Flash 8.

I really need this program to run as a Flash 9 swf, can anyone tell me what could be wrong?

PS I’m importing AS 2.0 classes, could this make any difference?
