I’m assuming this is because they do not have flash player 8 installed, and my swf is in flash 8. when I installed player 8 on one of these copmuters the text showed up.

My question is: if i save down in flash 7 will i lose any functionality?

i dont know how to make a sniffer and i need something thats fairly fullproof for everyone to be able to view, so im hoping that if i just save in flash 7 then most everyone will be able to view my page with dynamic text and everything

thanks  
!!!
