FLASH: updating mc's

[Helen Triolo]

If I have a graphic or an audio clip in the library, I can use an

external editor to make changes to it, then right-click/Update on the

library entry to do an immediate update.  


But if I have a movieclip in the library that I made with Swish, and

then I go back to Swish to edit it, I have to 1) delete the mc from the

library, 2) create a new mc symbol and name it, 3) import the swf that I

exported from Swish, 4) Edit Movie, and 5) drag an instance of the new

mc onto the stage in the frame(s) I want it (that I had it in before I

revised it).  Is that right?  Is there an easier way to update instances

of an existing mc with a revised version?


tia,

Helen
