I recently upgraded to Flash CS3, and I’m beginning to love it. Just waiting to get time to start learning AS3. But until then, I sometimes want to save my flash-files as Flash 8. Even though I save my file as Flash 8, Flash still wants to save the file as Flash 9. I’ve choosed “Save as”, chosen Flash 8 as the format, but when I choose “Save” after that, a popup shows saying that the file will be converted into Flash 9.  
Is it possible to keep the flash-version of the file when I’m working in CS3?
