Re: FLASH: BP - whats with the red squares? where's the picture gone?

[Marc Pidoux]

Hi,


This is because you inserted the shapes of your areas as "static OLE object".

Flash 3 doesn't recognize it and show it as it is. You should redraw this shapes

directly in Flash and every thing will be working in both versions.


Cheers
