Re: FLASH: Graphics tablet woes with F4

[DP Dupont]

This is an issue I've had since the spring time, I have an AIPTEK and a

Pablo,

updated the drivers, and still have the woes. Contacted support, and they

said

it was tablet drivers. Nope, the problem disappears in F5. Same drivers.

I've

got some issues with F5, so haven't converted to F5 until new player comes

out,

but it does resolve the straight line problem that F4 has. So I draw in F5,

and

copy/paste into the layers in F4 (it won't copy F5 frames).  Besides I'm

still

learning, so I can't justify the expensive tablets.

This has been a driver problem before, so this may well be Pablo's problem.

I'd make sure you have the latest drivers installed.
