Flash 8 text vs. Flash 6 text

I'm just finishing off a site that is in Flash 6... But I'd like people who have Flash 8 to have nicer text rendering... is there a simple way of doing this... other than duplicating the movie?
Its annoying that when Flash 8 runs in a 6/7 viewer the type just doesn't appear... you'd think it would just default to 'animation' mode...
any ideas?

interesting idea...
i suppose you could check the Flash ver at the beginning of the movie and set a var
then in all movie clips that contain text use 2 keyframes...put flash 6 text on the first frame and flash 8 on the second frame, and when the clip loads direct it to the correct frame based on the var you set
seems like in theory it should work. if you're using SWFObject you could set the minimum version of flash to 6

if you're creating your text dynamically there are tons of formatting options available
if creating the text dynamically is an option then i don't see any reason why it wouldn't work
