Hi Tim, This is simple to test. You can create a basic animation with a tweened Shape sprite, with a framerate of (say) 5 frames per second, and save it as LDM.dir. You can then import this as a Linked External Member into a new movie, and set the framerate of the new movie to (say) 999 fps. You will then see that the LDM animates much faster than its own frame rate indicates. So the answer is: A: An LDM runs at the framerate of the movie it is placed in > 2. Does an LDM have access to the castmembers of the movie it is placed > in (I.e. Embedded fonts etc?) The easiest way to access the same members would be to place them in a shared external cast. Here's a tutorial that uses this technique to allow you to edit text inside an LDM: <http://nonlinear.openspark.com/tutorials/ldm/> You'll find downloadable source files.
