Hey! Suppose I load an SWF that contains symbols inside the main movie. Let it be smiles for chat application - smiles.swf. Then I want to instantiate some of these symbols putting them on the main movie _root. That is essential, I want to add the instances to the main movie _root or _root's descendants. Is it possible with Flash 8?
I have made some experiments and have come to conlusion that Flash allows to create symbol instances only inside the movie that the symbol is coming from. Am I right? Well, I know one workaround - to paint a symbol to a bitmap and add this bitmap to the main movie. However in my application I deal with interactive symbols not the smile bitmaps, so this approach doesn't work for me. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
