Is anyone else experiencing the problem of Flash 8 loading Flash 7 compiled media via loadClip? The media just doesn’t load at all (v7 media are very simple vector graphic files).

But if I make the basemovie Flash 7, then it is fine (or export the old v7 media as v8 files - this works too).

Any suggestions?
