FLASH: Swish Export Questions (again?)

[Morpheus]

(Pre-Scriptum : Sorry , in the previous msg I've 

 forgotten Sign & Subject ... I'm sending it again!)

 

 

 Hi all ,

 

 just two little questions.I export a Swish file to SWF 

 format, and the flag "Export text as shapes" ISN'T 

 checked. Then, back to Flash, I create a new symbol

 (movie clip) and Import the Swish SWF into it.

 

 And ...

 

 1) Why does Flash create a symbol for each letter ?

 Isn't the SWF Clip that I've imported "Self-contained"?

 2) Can I create a folder (from Swish) to put this

 symbols ? So, when I make Import, the library is 

 less chaotic ...

 

 Last question (not swish-related) :

 

 3) Does anybody knows where find a tutorial for 

 lightning/electricity FX ? And not simply

 a quick white frame as in "The Perfect Storm" !

 

 (what I've most liked of "The perfect storm" : 

 the awesom pics of the ship on the waves !

 The usual Light&Magic marvels !)

 

 Any answer would be appreciated.

 

 Bye !
