Ah, I see what you're saying now. The answer is you're not going to be able to do it unless you use 10, because the compiler looks at the compatible player version and includes version-specific swcs at compile time (Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\player\9\playerglobal.swc vs Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\player\10\playerglobal.swc). Therefore "load" will never be available no matter what player is playing it if you're specifiying 9 as the lowest compatible version. These libs don't exist in the player itself, it's supplied by the swf.
