Re: FLASH: Text Symbols

[Susie Hinchliffe]

Hi Valerie

in file terms symbols are the most efficient method. Where you have a string

of similar text messages you can probably create one symbol then drag it

onto the stage, break it apart and modify it (i.e. delete characters/add new

ones) - although this seems to corrupt the typeface somewhat.  In my

understanding (still pretty limited i have to emphasise) the number of

symbols isn't really a big problem, and text symbols generated in Flash will

be pretty small (bytesize!) : the key is streaming events along the timeline

so the browser doesn't have to cope with a massive chunk right at the

beginning.


hope this helps :-)
