Subject: FLASH: weird 5.0 bug
From: Top-Link Tech (Charles Moulton

Anyone else had this problem? Kinda weird but I'll try to explain it....

I create a block of text, then convert it to a graphic symbol. No problems.
I then try to tween that symbol in any way (i.e. move, fade, etc.) and as
soon as I tween it, the content of the symbol changes to a symbol I had
created earlier. When I view or edit the symbol in the Library, it is still
the one I created, yet when I drag it to the stage/timeline or place it
inside a movie clip the symbol displayed is a completely different one. If I
export the SWF file, the symbol that shows is also the wrong one. And three
days later, the same problem happens and it keeps displaying the same text
from three days before.

For example, on monday, I create text that says, "This is Text One", make it
a symbol and animate it across the stage. Later on monday I create text that
says, "Text Two", and make it a symbol. No problem. But when I animate it
across the stage, the text suddenly says "This is Text One"..... yet when I
view it in the library or edit it in the library it still says "Text Two."

Then on Wednesday, I create text that says "Three", and make it a symbol,
and when I animate it, it also changes to "This is Text One"..... yet when I
view it in the library or edit it in the library it still says "Three."

And this is even after I have shut my computer completely down a couple of
times.

I've found this only happens in larger .fla files, for example over 2MB
working size.

And I've also found that if I tell the symbol to behave as a "movie clip",
the glitch doesnt occur.... but if I tell it to behave as a "graphic" it
does......

Weird I know. Has thios happened to any of you? And is there a fix or a work
around for this?
