RE: [flasher] Unlocking SWF's

[Tony_Gunn]

1. If you can't unlock a swf file, what is the use of the 'protect from

import' setting found on the Publishing Settings?  I thougth it was all

about bringing in a swf file and edit it.


If a swf is published with the 'protect from import' option checked you can

not import it into Flash.  Otherwise you can, however everything is grouped

per frame into 1 layer and it is quite a burden to work with.  


You can do a "LoadMovie()" either way though, but that won't help if you

need to make edits to the loaded swf.


2.  I've notice that if you have movie clip over a button you can still

click that button even if you can't see it.  How can this avoided?  Is there

a way that you can disable buttons.  This will be a real problem if you have

several buttons and movie clips all at once on the screen.


Have a stop frame in your MC where the button is not defined & tell your MC

to go to that frame when you set visibility to 0.  Whenever you reset

visibility you then tell your MC to go back to the frame that the button is

defined on.
