what is the different between flash MX and flash 8?
thanks

no, you can't work around that problem.

there's a big difference between flash mx and flash 8.
1. flash 8 supports AS 3 whereas flash mx supports only AS 2
2. new functions are added in flash 8 (because of the new AS)
3. some bugs are solved
4. ...

but i can't install flash 8 to open the flash file ,is it got another way to open and edit the flash file may be flash 7?sorry for my nonsence

i don't think there's another way to open a flash 8 file in a flash MX or flash MX 2004 version.
you could however download a trial version of flash 8 and copy the code to another flash version when you have opened the file in flash 8. be aware that you will have to change some of the code.
