That's an easy question to answer... they won't work without Shockwave
8.0rx. Anything older than that will not play back a Shockwave 8
application. Shockwave 8.x should play older shockwave files to maintain
backwards capability but you can't expect an older player to understand and
parse through newer syntax.
Sincerely
Mark
