Hi, [FONT=Arial]I need to make a shared library with all my movieclips so that in different files I can just drag them and the art is there! [/FONT][FONT=Arial] [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]I wish I could used the 9-clip structure and the build in effects (such as drop shadow, bevel, etc…) but since you can only applied the effects to a movie clip or the 9 clip –structure only works with “live” art in it (not movieclips) I can’t use both. Any ideas if there’s a way to used the 9-clip structure and the build in effect at the same time??? (the tricky part is that I need the effects to change if I change them in the shared library…not instance by instance). [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Thanks![/FONT]
