you could do this another way to give the desired effect of the sack
becoming larger.... you could make the sack a MC and have 15 frames (for 15
presents) with a stop action in each. In each frame you have a animation
that shows the sack growing in size. depending on how many presents you have
put in.... I think I am making sense??? anywho... and when you place the
gift it sets a variable "blah" to +1 and from there you can Tell Target to
the desired frame of the /sack MC depending on the variable. I hope this
helps... if I need to go into more detail, don't hesitate either to call or
to email back... good luck.
