just a note: if you get this error in flash 8, when you are targeting flash player 7 or lower, it’s most likely because you created a stroke in flash 8 while it was still set to publish to flash player 8..in which case it will add enhanced stroke data to your stroke, but not take it off when you publish an earlier player. The key is to set it to publish to set teh target player before you draw the stroke.

You can also save your FLA to Flash MX 2004 and then back to Flash 8 - this will clear all enhanced stroke information
