I have heard that if you load a .swf published at Flash 6 into a main .swf published at Flash 5 then the files are all changed to Flash 5 because of the main .swf…

* * *

If so…

I have put a component scrollbar in the externally loaded .swf, the output error box when viewed in flash says that only flash 6 can make this work so I publish it at Flash 6. Then I go to my browser and view it when brought into the main .swf and the scrollbar still works great…

Is this just because I HAVE flash 6 installed on my computer or will it work for ppl with Flash 5 since my main .swf is flash 5?

Sorry for the long question :c)
