Re: FLASH: Shared Buttons bug ?

[Muzak]

No, you can't put actions in buttons (AFAIK).


But, there seems to be a problem when you have a shared button symbol, bring it into some movie as a shared object and then attach

an action to it as with any normal non-shared button -> it won't work. It does not execute any action.

I must say I never really looked into the shared library thing.


I just had a quick run through the F5 help documentation and nowhere does it say that you CAN share 'button symbols'. It doesn't say

you can't either though. But then again, should documentation provide you with information about what you CANNOT do with the

program? Sounds silly to me.

---------------------------------

Using shared libraries can optimize your workflow and movie asset management in numerous ways. For example, you can use shared

libraries to do the following:

Share a sound file across a site

Share a font symbol across multiple sites

Provide a single source for elements in animations used across multiple scenes or movies

Create a central resource library to use for tracking and controlling revisions

---------------------------------

And Andrew, you make it sound as if you bought F5 just because of the shared library feature.

Oh boy, you must be dissappointed. Get over it!
