Select Show Blank Keyframes to indicate blank keyframes with hollow circles. Any Ideas as to why this option isn’t showing up? Great board. Its been fun lurking here. The tuts have been immensly helpful. Thanks to you all ! ---

ilyaslamasse…No, but it would be nice to see if there is a blank keyframe within the frame. To each his own.! ---

Well, a blank keyframe within the frame means an empty frame. And that’s exactly what you get in the timeline. What more could you possibly expect ? pom 0] ---

It may not be a big deal to someone such as yourself, but it obviously concerned Macromedia to include that option when they said that the option is available to select, outlined in the Using Flash Guide. Simply stated “I” would like to see that option, as it was available under Flash 4. ---

Sorry if I sounded rude or anything. It’s true that it used to be available in Flash 4, but so far I’ve never seen it in Flash 5. It’s just that a blank keyframe appears… blank !! No empty circle, no full circle, no alpha, no nothing. And Fil, thanks for the congratulation, but you should congratulate Upu. But do you mean by that that you didn’t make it ??? even with the tute ? I’ll make one for you if you REALLY can’t do it. pom 0]
