If I’m using nested MC’s does each nest add additional frames towards my limit? Example: MC"Wheel": loop of a wheel rotating = 10 frames. MC"Driver" : loop of a driver blinking and moving his arms = 40 frames. MC"Car": multiple “wheel” and a “Driver” bouncing around in a car frame= 15 frames. The “Car” MC placed on the stage. = 1 frame Would flash have used 60+ frames for each element? 40 frames for the longest element? or just the 1 frame on the stage? I’m just tryin to understand this clearly.
