Loaded SWF w/AS1.0 not performing correctly!?

[launchpad67]

Ok, I am losing my mind over this. I am trying to load an swf that was made with AS1. I have the fla and can save it anyway I chose but Not for flash 8, too many errors. The resulting swf plays perfectly by itself but will not play correctly once loaded into my main movie.(it plays, just not right)
I have tried publishing my main movie for flash 6/AS1 and the calendar movie the same but it just won't work.
Is there a trick to using an old fla (mx), publishing it, and trying to load it into a flash8 movie?? I have uploaded the files if someone would please look at them. It's a calendar being loaded into the main movie. Unzip all to the same folder. Get It Here. (http://www.mikekreidel.com/temp/calendar.zip)
Sorry it's a bit large(900kb).

cant check your files right now.. maybe later when i get home.. but in any case... WHAT IS THE ERROR once it's loaded? please explain..

also, if you have a main movie running F6 AS1 and an SWF of the same kind being loaded into it, i dont see what the problem could be between them... even if you use FLash 8 your publish settings should export for you the right version swf's.. (at least by deisgn it shoulld)

There's isn't an error, it actually loads but it doesn't perform the way it should. It works perfectly by itself, but once loaded it fails.
If I try to publish the older fla for Flash8, I get tons of errors. If I publish it for flash6 or 7 no problems.
So, what I did was publish my main movie for flash 6 AS1, and the other movie the exact same. Doesn't work! It's in the AS, I know it. Something about the way flash 8 handles old AS.
I am totally stumpted here!?

i see..

what are the AS errors you're gettnig when publishing to flash 8? it could just be you use of the "add" syntax.. this causes an error in FLash 8 players because it's no longer supported by the engine...

name = "first" add "last"; //doesnt work anymore
name = "first" + "last";

Best is to try and make your project flash 8 compatible already.. so you might wana make a copy of your source files and run Search and Replace on the word "add".. or do manual code coversion..

also you might wana try publishing to Flash 7 AS2 first.. coz AS1 is quite old and maybe your project is using AS2 scripts...
have you tried publishi
