Re: FLASH: URGENT! PC fla to MAC fla! Please HELP!!!!!!

[John Dowdell]

If you move a FLA to a Mac and see that it contains Microsoft elements only

for PCs, then odds are strong you've placed an OLE object in there (Object

Linking and Embedding).


OLE's main use seems to be in getting the Microsoft Windows logo on the box

(no kidding), although I believe this option was removed in Macromedia

Flash 5.


If you were in F4 and used the "Edit > Insert Object" menu item, then this

object wouldn't have any meaning on a Macintosh, true.
