RE: FLASH: Deleting unused items from the Library?

[Rebecca Lovelace]

Thanks, that is how I ended up going about it, but it made me nervous to

delete the button when it didn't tell me it was unused (I saved a copy).

The question is why does it think the button is used?  I'd love to know the

reasoning behind this.  Morbid curiousity, I guess.

The reason is probably because you have a bitmap inside a symbol...


What I usually do when I want to clean up my library is I first grab the

largest symbol (let's say you have a bitmap inside a graphic symbol which is

inside a button symbol which is inside a movie symbol -- in that case, I

grab the movie clip first) and delete it.  Then all the symbols used in the

movie clip (if they are unique to that movie clip) will show up with a use

count of "0".  Then, to follow this example, I delete the buttons, then the

graphics contained in the button, and finally the bitmaps contained in the

graphic.


Look at it as unpacking a suitcase.
