Yes, a SWF8 loaded into a SWF9 does play. However, there are quite a number of limitations.
For instance, you can't reference _level0, or any _level. Tracing out trace(this) in the SWF8 displays "_root". So each SWF8 assumes it is _root. But they are not loaded into different _levels. In fact you can't even use loadMovieNum to load another SWF8 into your SWF8. You can use loadMovie, but the ability to reference _levels has been removed. It's like _lockroot on steroids. I was able to determine that each SWF8 is loaded as _level0.instanceN.instanceN+1, where N is a number. You can find this by placing code on a movieclip in the main timeline of your SWF8 and tracing _parent - not this._parent, just _parent. The result was _level0.instance1. I was then able to display the contents of _parent._parent, which is _level0 - not much there: lconid:527c historyUrl:history.htm? $version:WIN 9,0,15,0 instance3:_level0.instance3 instance1:_level0.instance1 instance1 and instance3 are containers that hold SWF8s that are loaded. The SWF8s are _level0.instance1.instance2 and _level0.instance3.instance4. But, all SWF8s that are loaded into a SWF9 share _global. You can't directly communicate with the SWF9 but you can communicate with other SWF8s. So what? Well, it means your loaded SWF8s may be able to be used, but depending on how you reference things, they may not work as expected. However, they will run.
