Re: FLASH: Shared Buttons bug ?

[Andrew Shirk]

Phillip,


Good to hear it works for you. Unfortunately I think you're in the minority.

It doesn't work for me and the problem was confirmed by Macromedia Senior

Support Engineer Bentley Wolfe on December 4th in the Macromedia Flash

forum.


Last week, Bently Wolfe also confirmed the problem with shared font symbols

not working in dynamic fields or dynamic fields with html.


Although the problems have been confirmed, there are no technotes alerting

other developers, or customers considering the purchase of Flash 5, to the

shortcomings.

Well, you're in luck. There are other shared library features that don't

work...get out the guff :)
