FLASH: answers to Chad's questions

[Matt Wobensmith]

Hey Chad -


I'm answering your questions in one message, hope that's OK. You wrote so

many emails that I can't respond individually.

If you don't mind, you may want to hold off posting every question you may

have for a bit until the program is out. I'm happy to answer questions, but

ultimately, I'm gonna get burned out if I answer every possible query. Don't

worry, it'll be here soon. :>)

Actually, it won't work that way. If you did your trig the old-fashioned

Flash 4 way, it will retain that formatting (more or less) when brought into

Flash 5. It does not convert your linear algebra routines to the built-in

Math objects, to be precise.

>(ie. will it look any different?)


You will notice that your F4 actionscript will be converted on opening the

file in F5. You'll get a dialog box that tells you what it changed, as well.
