The code I sent works exactly as it is for both Flash 8 and 9. Just change
-swf-version 8 and you have a Flash 8 version.

Regarding Arctic logic: The logic is similar to building things with lego.
You take small bricks and combine them to build bigger things. The bricks
can be configured using parameters, and they have behaviour which is caught
using functions. That's it.

In terms of how to do layout, I guess TeX and HTML tables are related, but
basically, it is very simple: There are just a few ways to do layout. You
can both things next to each other (ColumnStack), things beneath each other
(LineStack), things in a rectangular grid (Grid), things on top of each
other in z-order (OnTop), and you can offset things using pixel units
(Offset). In a ColumnStack and a LineStack, you can put a Filler which is a
magician, invisible block that grows as much as possible in the direction of
the container it is in.

Let me know if this helps you. You are not the first who is reluctant to try
out Arctic, so I'm very interested in hearing what the obstacle is and if it
can be overcome. There is further documentation in manual.html, the code
itself is well-documented, there are lots of examples in the example folder,
and I'm here on the list - as well as others who know Arctic. If you have an
Arctic related problem, the answer usually comes very fast.

Regards,
Asger
