RE: FLASH: FLASH : getting a bit confused !

[Ben Deroo]

Hi Marc,

Thank you, I'll give you a littlle bit of background on this question. When

you where so kind to preview a little movie I made , you suggested putting

more tweening in MC's . I guess I went a little overboard and put every bit

of tweening in a MC . The timeline now has no tweening at all ! This prooved

to be a bit hard to overview . Hence my question .. So I guess I'll use

tweening as one should use alcohol : in moderation ,and only when necessary.


Ben
