Re: FLASH: Instances Corrupting Files?

Hi Hal,

There might be a limit butI haven't hit it.

My Christmas 97 movie has over 700 button instances. I have some now

with over 1000 buttons.

You can add any number of invible (or visible) instances of buttons as

long as they have hit areas. I heard a report of problems of buttons

without hit areas but don't recall what the symtoms were, but buttons

without hit areas are useless anyway and can't function as buttons, so

if that is what you are doing don't do it.
