Part Year State Return and Unemployment Compensation from another state

I was living in Florida when I lost my job in June 2007 and started getting unemployment compensation from the State of Florida. I moved to Boston, MA in August 2007 and continued receiving the unemployment compensation from Florida. I got a new job in November 2007 in Boston, MA.

So, my question is do I fill out part year state return for Massachusetts in 2007 in addition to federal tax return?

Do I need to include my unemployment compensation from Florida State in my tax return for Massachusetts?

Do I need to file any other forms for Florida in addition to my federal return because of my unemployment compensation?

Thanks in advance for your help.
