Re: FLASH: Tools behaving weirdly

[Drey Cameron]

I draw most of my stuff in Illustrator also, but would like to use Flash's

drawing tools to create animation motion guides -- this is difficult to do

in another program because you can't see exactly where the path will go,

though I guess I can still tweak it once it's imported...ick!


It's frustrating that I cannot report this to Macromedia via e-mail unless

I purchase Priority Access support. Does John Dowdell read flasher? If not,

guess I'll post this info to the FLASHmacromedia list.
