Hi,
Apologies if this is OT for the list - could someone point me in the
right direction if it is.
Does anyone else ever share symbols across FLA files?
Using the Flash 8 Pro IDE, I have been trying to do share some of my
symbols to share with a main FLA. I thought I would tick the "Export
for runtime sharing" option, but then change my mind and unticked the box.
Then I saved my FLA file as a new file to create a /similar/ set of
symbols to share, again, with the same main FLA.
The problem is that I keep getting conflicts in my main FLA with
things "disappearing" from the main movie, and compiler errors
complaining about missing SWF's etc. I checked the properties of some
of my symbols that have been shared from other FLA's and the ones that
cause problems all have the "Import for runtime sharing option" ticked
with the name of the first SWF that I created.
If I go back to my source FLA's, the "Export for runtime sharing" is
not ticked, but the name of the original SWF shows up in the disabled
box, when I update these symbols in the main FLA, the settings revert
back to import the symbols from a SWF - which I don't want...
Is this a "quirk" or am I missing something?
Glen
