The External API is ignored when used under Flash 7. What you could do is run an if statement which checks the process of some other flash 8 only statement. If the statement was successful, the flash 8 code is run, else the flash 7 code is run. It would mean having more code in total, but would at least allow you to have both formats supported. I used to use a similar method when Flash 5 was released to check for the Flash player version.
