This is not a bug. Maybe a feature request, but probably it won't be implemented. CS4 uses a different proprietary file format. See the announcement: /www.free-decompiler.com/flash/news/5-fla-specification-request-to-adobe

From guestbook, it was written by JPEXS: Yes, the decompiler cannot export in older FLA formats than Flash CS5. No version of JPEXS decompiler can achieve this. These old formats are binary only and it would be very hard to somehow reverse-engineer that format. Newer formats are XML so it is easy to read/write. You can try other (paid) decompilers (see links), maybe they do have support for the Macromadia Flash 8. We don't.

I did some research about these old fileformats in the past. The problem is that it is not documented anywhere. I can only reconstruct it using some reverse engineering technics, but it is binary format and hard to understand. I know it would be useful, but currently it has lower priority, thanks for understanding. Other paid decompilers have support from Adobe and they probably give them some kind of documentation to these formats (just speculations). We do not have any partnership with Adobe, it probably requires tons of money :-), we are free project. I send a request for documentation to Adobe few months ago: /www.free-decompiler.com/flash/news/5-fla-specification-request-to-adobe but they ignored me (I am not surprised).
