Okay I feel really dumb asking this but why in the world doesn’t my flash player update? A friend sent me a swf made in flash 8. I have mx04. When I launch the swf it runs in flash player 7! I have downloaded the most recent player and have seen other stuff made in flash 8 but for some reason i can’t view all the objects in his swf because it won’t run in an updated player. Grrrr . . . I feel so stupid, what am I doing wrong?

thanks all
