RE: FLASH: UnGroup vs. Break Apart ???

it)


Hi,


I believe that these are two complete diferent things.


Group: 

	It groups two (or more) objects so that you can move, modify,

all at the same time, so when you UnGroup them, they will return to

their initial state (The tranformations that you have done mantains, but

they still are what they are, a symbol is still a symbol and so on).


Break Apart:

	It realy break the object apart, supose that you have a Object

Like a Graphic, you cannot realy edit it, but just apply some effects to

it, when you break apart, you will tranform the object in the lines and

other things, like when you created it before made it a symbol, for

instance, if you have text, and make ungroup I think it wont ungroup

athing, but if you break apart, you can make what ever you want to thak

drawing.


PS: Dont forget, that you should only group thing when you cannot make

it a symbol.

	and

PS: Only break apart when you really have to, because, supose that you

have a symbol many times in your movie, it only ocuppies one Instance of

it in your SWF, but when you break it apart, it is like if you have just

drawn it, and it is a completly different drawing.


Big PS: I hope not to have been too confusing, because It is a little

dificult to explain the diference between two completly distinct things,

it is best to you to give the defenition of one and the other separatly,

so that they can see the real diferences (almost all) between them.
