Flash 3 samples - buttons with multiple layers

[Tom Simpson]

I just got my Flash 3 CD and I've been looking through some of the sample

fla's under the Help menu.  If you open the Actions-Frame Loaded and edit

the symbols, you'll notice that the buttons are almost all made with

multiple layers.


What I'm wondering is why?  Are there any consequences of having multiple

layers in a button?  In Flash 2 I thought it was a no-no to have layers in

your button, and I'm wondering why they were used in this example.  I

checked and there weren't any Tell Targets or spiffy submenus being used,

so why have the layers?


I'm guessing that we can use them now if we want to, which would help to

keep elements separate, just wondering if this is an official change

(didn't see it documented in the manual).


Thanks,


Tom Simpson
