FLASH: BP - whats with the red squares? where's the picture gone?

[Ben Park]

Hi Everyone


I drew a map using Flash 3 a while back, which was fine, but when I got

Flash 4, it doesn't seem to work.


The problem is - If I export a .swf file using Flash 3 (as a Flash 3 file),

I get the map I made, but if I export it using Flash 4 (as a Flash 3 or

Flash 4 file - it doesn't seem to matter!), I just get a load of red

squares?


I know that if I try and explain this , it'll be impossible, so here's the

URL's to see exactly whats happening.


The one exported with Flash3 (This is fine!) -

The one exported with Flash4 (screwed up!) -

http://homepages.tesco.net/~iamshopping/screwed-map.htm


Also, if it helps anyone - heres the original .fla file -

http://homepages.tesco.net/~iamshopping/map-fla-file.zip


I was thinking that maybe the fla file had got screwed up somehow, so I

re-installed Flash 3 onto the machine with Flash 4, and I can open the file

which looks fine in Flash 3, then open it in Flash 4, which looks fine until

I go "Test Movie", at which point all the pics disappear and I get red

squares.


I've tried copying and pasting the parts from Flash 3 to Flash 4, but that

just makes Flash 4 crash.

So I opened the original and a new blank file in Flash 4 and copied from one

part to the other, but that works perfectly.


Any ideas anyone?


Ben


P.S. Thanks in advance for anyones help - this is driving me mad.
