There are some definite (and lamentable) ways to have some SWF4 files play

back differently in newer players... the most frequent causes have been

variable names which cannot be resolved to dot-syntax, and a very high

framerate which the new players may come closer to achieving.


(These aren't platform-specific, although some of these differences may be

more visible on one machine than another.)
