Re: FLASH: buttons/symbols/instances/tell targets

Marc,

It does help some, and fwiw (and not to be contrary), i have gone thru the 

manual and viewed many tutorials as well.


unfortunately many subtlties (as opposed to how to do certain specific 

things) are not addressed in the manual or in tutorials........to wit you 

can see how to animate a button, create a movie clip, etc...but when it 

comes to explaining why one can do the same things in a number of ways and 

when to do them, there is often little available to help one make these 

choices......and I think I have been about everywhere that there are Flash 

resources.



*******even your answer, while helpful, still leaves me with 

questions......when, if ever, would one want to give actions to a buttoon in 

symbol editor as opposed to instances and when would one use tell target as 

opposed to giving instances actions?*********************



Of course, I am sandwiching this in with many other things so perhaps I have 

missed something but as I get further into flash I often find many "little 

things" very difficult to see answers to.


so, fwiw, my first response is not to ask someone else to help simply 

because I don't want to do my own homework..and I therefore, appreciate the 

help here and elsewhere.



thanks.
