I develope in Flash 5 because it has a better audio compression than Flash MX. I don't why it should be different but it is. I get great 24K streaming on audio but I had increase it to 32K in Flash MX to get the same quality. So I didn't buy Flash MX and stayed with Flash 5. Now with Flash MX 2004 out I thought I would try again to better my developement but to my supprise I am unable to load anything created in Flash 5. Does this mean I can't used anything I have made in the past? Are all my Lib's are useless? At what point did backwards compatiblity go out the window? Did I miss something somewhere?

If this is the wave of the future with flash I can't see upgrading ever. Plus as I read the comments from others I see there are many other problems which would leave a bad impression on buying other products from Macromedia. I think they are wanting us to buy a product still in beta but my money will be spent on a finished product with backwards compatibility.
