re-publishing a decompiled Flash app

I was recently given a request to simply change a phone number for a website at http://www.axis-group.net since the original developer was unreachable for the past year or so. thinking this was only a simple request, I was able to at least obtain ftp access, but to make a long story short, the text that needed to be changed was actually a text component in a flash file where you would hover over "introduction", then click onto "Contact Us" and the address information slides onto the screen. The only file available was the .swf file and I was actually able to decompile using Sothink SWF Catcher and find where the text needed to be changed. Now when I go to publish and preview the flash file, the "Introduction" and "Contact Us" still appear, but the address information is now nowhere to be found.

So I'm wondering if I'm missing something from the decompiler or whether there are any other external files I may be missing. the original swf file at least works when I saved it to my hard drive, but after I decompile and re-publish is when some of the features no longer seem to work anymore. Will I need to somehow find the original .fla file? or perhaps there's an option I need to set, please advise, thanks.

I am using Macromedia Flash Professional 8
According to my Publish Settings:
version = Flash Player 6
Load order: Bottom up
ActionScript version: ActionScript 1.0
