You have some AS2 code that is doing something like "root._th_ = ..." in your SWF, which won't work when Flex 2 comes out.
Basically, AVM- opcodes (AS1 and AS2) will not work in an AVM+ (AS3) SWF; support will be disabled in an upcoming release, and I'll be stripping them out when you do the embed. However... I have a prototype of a new feature that will allow you to embed -any- SWF into another SWF and have it work; it will just be subject to the cross-VM communications rules of a dynamically loaded SWF. As a related item, there's another prototype feature to improve cross-VM calling. We're trying to get these new features approved, and I'm cautiously optimistic.
