What would be the ramifications of running a Flash 9 swf from inside a Flash 8 swf?

I thought that you cannot load F9 SWF into F8 SWF...

even with loadMovie();?

Flash 8 player doesn't support ActionScript3. It's a completely different beast.
You've even got to jump through a couple of hoops to get Flash 8 movie run properly inside a Flash 9 Movie (properly, as in be able to use actionscript)
Flash Player 9 actually has 2 virtual machines, one for AS2 and one for AS3, thats why its so difficult.
