I have created a set of rollover buttons and have exported them to play with both version flash 5 and 6.
when I import them to the libarary in a new document they only show as jpg images and not the movie…so they dont work!
When i play them through windows exlorer they work fine!
How can I get them to work in a new flash document?
Please help 
Re: Help!: Macromedia Flash Buttons
are you sure you are not importing only the assets i.e jpgs...
Re: Help!: Macromedia Flash Buttons
Yeah i'm more than sure. I'm only importing the flash movies (created when you export a movie from flash) and not the document or images themselves.
I'm quite new to flash so please do excuse me for my limited knowledge!
Come on there must be something i'm missing here!
Re: Help!: Macromedia Flash Buttons
What I get from your explanation is that you are importing the .swf to the library of new document.....
thats not the right way to do it.
When you have created a new button/symbol it automatically get added into library of the document where you created it. Simply Drag n Drop the button from library of first flash document to the socond and you create many instances of that item by drag n drop that item to stage.
tell me if that helps
Re: Help!: Macromedia Flash Buttons
^ yep..and also the new asset (button) in your case will appear in the library of the new document as well..
-> open the file where you created the button(s)
-> open the library of that file.
-> open a new file, where you want to take that button to.
-> open the library of the new file
-> you have now two files and two libraries open.
-> drag button or any other symbol to the stage of the new document
-> all the assets to make the symbol (such as jpgs, pngs) will automatically accompany the symbol to the new document
-> delete the symbol from the stage of the new document
-> it will still remain in the library of the new document
-> you can drag it again and put it back on to the stage - now it's part of the new document.
that's it. You don't need to compile anything before exporting. hope this helps

use Maxthon v.1.2 instead of IE6.
