One .fla is in MX2004 which relies on AS2 classes. Another .fla is in MX which relies on AS1 classes. This AS1 movie has a movieclip symbol in the library. The AS2 movie needs to put that AS1 symbol inside a box on the stage. My question is: how do I do this?

I could just compile the AS1 symbol as a .swf and then load that .swf into the AS2 .fla at runtime. But it would be easier if there were some way to bring the AS1 .fla/.swf into the AS2 .fla at authortime. Anybody know a way to do this?

I tried importing the .swf onto the stage, but that didn't work. If I made the AS1 movieclip symbol into a component, could I precompile this component and then put it in the library of the AS2 movie? If so, how do I do this?
