yes, after breaking apart it can break up into very small solid color blocks. If
you dont break apart completely
it will catagorize hundreds of symbols in your library for every block. If you
completely break apart
all hell breaks loose, you loose lines, Flash forms solid "ghost blocks, its a
mess.

However on one extrusion objects you can have fairly good luck. No lighting in
Dim3, keep the shadows off
off the object in DIm3 and the more solid the colors the less symbols Flash will
create and you can edit it much easier.

Yes you can have luck if you keep it basic.
