Downgrade a SWF file

So I've made a 3D animation in flash cs5.5 using ( AS3 and flashPlayer 10+ ), but I need it to be in flash player 9 or smaller. Any ideas how to do it ?

As far as I can tell, you've got two approaches to this:

  1. The timeline one: Right click tween > Convert to Frame by Frame Animation. This will add to your filesize and also, if you have named symbols, you need to make sure the symbol has an instance name on all frames. Also, making changes to the tweens means going back and forth between documents and converting all the time
  2. Using a Flash Player 9 compatible 3D library. If it's simple/lightweight stuff, FIVe3D is pretty awesome (small/easy to use (mimics the Flash drawing API)). You can also try older versions of Away3D or Papervision3D, although I'm not sure if you get vector support with the actionscript 2 versions. I recommend trying FIVe3D first. The main advantage for this approach is that once you've redone your tweens with code, it's much easier to change/adjust. If you're comfortable with a bit of Flash IDE scripting, you can whip out script to export the tween.
