RE: FLASH: Deleting unused items from the Library?

[Rebecca Lovelace]

John, somebody has to tell the computer how to think in the first place, so

there has to be reasoning SOMEWHERE! :)


If you are getting involved in this thread, can you confirm whether it is

safe to delete something that Flash isn't telling you is unused (as I said

before, this used to be VERY DANGEROUS in early versions of Director on the

PC, score slots would keep references to non-existent cast members and this

could cause crashes)?


Maybe I've just been using MM products too long....I'm too paranoid.


Thanks for any more info,


Rebecca

It's just a computer... manipulates bits. It can't think very well.
