Re: FLASH:Preview with Tell Target?

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Aaron,

	There are a couple of solutions but the one I like best, as I

frequently work that way too, is to select all the items in a frame

further into the movie clip and copy them, then paste all into a special

layer in the first frame of the movie clip. I usually label that layer

temporary or some such. Then I keep each movie clip on its own layer on

the main timeline so I can make them visible or invisible as needed.

Once everything looks like I want to do a test movie, I make all these

temporary first frame layers guides so that they don't show up in the

test. That way I don't have to do the temp guide frame again and again

as editing is needed. This only makes the fla size larger it does not

effect the swf export size.
