Re: FLASH: creating objects in F4

[Cheri Harder]

Hmmm.  Sounds like you might be a good candidate for the tutorial that came

with the program.  :-)


When you make an object a symbol, you have a choice right then of making it

a graphic, button, or movie clip.


I don't know what you meant by your previous question of:

"Well all that realy does is reduce the number of layers in your main F4

movie, correct?  You still need the same number of frames."

as my previous suggestion had nothing to do with layers..?


Honest, it's a pretty good tutorial and will get you going much faster than

waiting for answers on here.  Come tomorrow morning this list will be so

busy you won't even be able to find your question!  <grin>
