Re: FLASH: Animations as Graphic Vs. Movie Clip

[John Croteau]

Hi James,

Graphic symbols are cheaper than Movie Clips.

And they have some special uses invoving reusing portions of a symbol's

frames.

If creating animations to export as movies other than a Flash swf you

have to use animated graphics.

You can only target the main timeline and movie clip timelines.

> clip and vice versa?

Not targetable. Has to play on the timeline it is on so it is not as

flexible.
