Forgive me if i sound stupid!!
When i want to import an image from an external source, i use File > Import > To Library.
Now this image is in the library stored as a bitmap.
In order for me to work with this image, i have to Convert to Symbol. When i convert to symbol e.g graphic or movieclip, Flash MX adds another instance of the image in the library? So now for this image there is 2 instances in the library, a bitmap and a graphic or movieclip (whichever i choose).
Why does there have to be 2 instances of one image in the library???
Surely this takes up more space?
Am i doing things the right way???
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
