RE: FLASH: weird 5.0 bug

[Susan Vollmer]

I'm not sure if this will help you or not.  It seems that I've experienced 

similar problems while I'm in the process now of trying to learn Flash on my 

own.  After I've modified text in the first keyframe and then modified the 

text in the last keyframe of a scene, I've found I need to click on the 

"create tweening" again on any frame that falls between the two points.  If 

I don't click on the "create tweening" again, it does not seem to 

automatically update all the images in between.  I frequently save my .fla 

file while working on it to the same name and subdirectories.


I've only been using the text as "graphics."  I'm not sure when it's 

appropriate to save it as a "movie clip," if anyone would care to elaborate.


Thanks in advance,


Susan V.
