Re: FLASH: Flash 4 bug: MC instance names lost when tweening

[Karin Christensen]

I think Cheri Harder posted something similar to this last week.  I

have always given an mc its instance name in all new keyframes where

it appears.  I don't know why I decided this was necessary, but it

sure solves alot of problems later on.
