RE: [flasher] RE: Urgent: F5 print files TOO BIG!

[Michael Heliker]

exactly!


When I do it, the vectors are usually already grouped, but if I ungroup it,

it's just a regular vector graphic and then I make a symbol out of that with

my handy-dandy F8 key.


I'm not a master with Flash (yet), but couldn't you create a separate

library file with all the characters saved as symbols? You could then use it

as a linked library ( I think).


HTH,


Michael
