FLASH: symbol instances problem

[Ray Weisling]

Newbie-in-a-bind time again.


I have a sample Flash file from a client, with symbols he created. 

One is a numbered bullet, used in the map to mark items mentioned in 

accompanying text.


In his file I can edit instances of these to get a sequence of 

different numbered instances of the single symbol.


Im my file the same symbol taken from his file won't do that. If I 

edit an instance, all other instances of it also change. Huh? Why?


The only thing I did was rescale the original symbol in the library 

to make it ready to use (his was too large). Did that transform mess 

something up?


Thanks,


Ray
