I don't know if this is at all related but I experieced a problem where
I created a swf for flash player 7 using MX 2004 Pro and it worked fine
in a browser using the version 7 plugin or 8 plugin.
Then I installed Flash 8 and the flash 8 plugin. I continued to develop
my movie in MX 2004 since that's what I started with and I didn't want
to be annoyed with that save as compatibility dialog every time I hit
CTRL+ENTER to test.
The movie played back just fine in the flash 8 player but on a machine
with the flash 7 player it crapped out every time even though I authored
the swf with MX 2004. I suspect the 2004 IDE used Flash 8 resources to
publish the file??
I uninstalled Flash 8 and the Flash 8 player. I reinstalled the Flash 7
plugin and republished my movie. It now continues to run correctly in
either flash 8 or flash 7 plugins.
I haven't tried updating my movie to Flash 8 FLA format and publish down
to player 7. I have over 40 individual swfs and no interest in mucking
around with something that currently works.

Ah, we're getting somewhere...
In Firefox 1.07 (my default browser) running Flash 8 it all seems to work
fine.
In IE 6 running Flash 7, it does, indeed, hang when I press a key. And
restarts when I stop pressing the key. And gives me a memory error when I
quit the browser.
So is the difference that a bug in Flash has been cured from 7->8 - or that
IE is buggier than Firefox? Votes?
I will say that the whole app feels very clunky to me, like it's doing far
too much work - but then I have a slow machine.
Cheers,
