[Drosophila] mammalian promoters in insect cells

Dear fly experts,
I normally work with mammalian transformed cell lines (CHO, Cos, HeLa),
now I would like to do some experiments in drosophila cells (SL2,
KC167). Ideally I could transfect these cells with one of the constructs
I use for mammalian cells, but I am concerned if the promoters (SV40 and
CMV) will work in insect cells.
I searched the net on this problem and found no answer to this question.
Does anybody of you have experience with these promoters in the cell-
lines mentioned above or can refer to some info on the net?
Thanks in advance,
Fernando
