**New to Flash - Looking for Help**  
I am a school teacher and recently bought Flash 8 to help present lessons.

On the internet, I found a site offering script and downloaded a couple of examples of interesting text effects.

I think they have been written in an older version of Action Script as they do not work on the latest Flash Player.

Any chance of someone letting me know how I could remedy this?

Advice would really be appreciated…

Cheers,

David
