FLASH: Symbols and Netscape help

[James Jendrzejewski]

Good day,

    I am having problems with the symbols in a movie. It is my understanding that if I edit a symbol in the library it will change all the instances of that symbol. I have attempted to erase a symbol and replace it with something totally different. It will not change the instances of that symbol on the stage.  Is there something wrong, something else I must do, or am I misunderstanding the book?

    Also, when I export the movie and generate the HTML from Aftershock I find that the alternate gif frame that I set gets placed at the bottom of the movie when viewing in Netscape, but does not appear when I view in IE. Any Ideas?

    The structure of my page consists of a menu in levels of tutorials that can be viewed individually or if choosing a higher order they would play in succession. Is it wise to use scenes or would it be best to load a new movie for each one or use goto commands with movie clips?

    Okay last item.....What is the general rule for modem testing and preloaders? I would like everyone to have a T1 connection (including me) but I have been testing in 28.8 hoping that there aren't too many 14.4's out there anymore.

Thanks,

James Jendrzejewski
