It /is/ SWF 9, the AVM1 thing means that it uses the old VM, or at
least that the Flashplayer thinks so.
FP 9 contains two VMs, AVM2 (a.k.a. Tamarin) for AS3 based code, and
AVM1 for AS1/2 and downward compatibility. Interaction between those
two VMs is limited to LocalConnection (btw IIRC, the limit was 40kB),
as you know. So, the question is, why does the FP think yours uses the
old VM, when it apparently doesn't have code in it at all? Maybe it
has something to do with the frame labels? What if you produce a
minimal SWF, does it still say AVM1? What if you assign it a class
that extends MovieClip (I believe they still can have frames)?
If everything fails, maybe somebody with access to Flash CS3 could
produce a minimal SWF for both AVM1 and AVM2, so we could compare the
swf2xml and look for the difference?
