geekage alert
If you're thinking of upgrading to CS3, especially Flash, please don't unless you want issues like these or worse. srlsy.
Just spent the last few days at work where I started on CS3 trial and went back to Flash 8 and it's actually not only impossible to completely uninstall CS3 so IT gave me a new machine (!) but the file did weird things in the Flash 8 standalone player and in Flash - visually corrupted animations when you preview. Again a CS3 issue, I had to copy all of the library items into an older non-corrupted file.
Also saving back to Flash 8 from CS3 odd stuff can happen, like elements moving in a movieclip - I've had that happen too, and verified it wasn't myself going mad...
