Sure, the point I was trying to make is that every "non-Flasher" would recognize Flash MX 2004 is now two years old, they probably don´t even know that there where major changes from MX to MX04. MX does not suffer from this "handicap" of a number attached to it. The exam on MX is not available, in fact those who have only the MX certification are not listed any longer on Adobe's certifed Developer page[1]. So I guess since there are no Flash 8 beta exams anounced[2] they´ll propably start a new rush on Flash 9/Flex 2...

Actually, is the flash mx testing still available? anyway, the reason I say that is, as I'm sure you know well, so much changes with each version of flash, and I think it would be better to show that your certification is up to date. For instance, if you took the Flash MX exam, you could score 100% and not know a thing about Actionscript 2. And if you're just worried about the year, dont worry, you can just say you're a Certified Flash Developer.
