Hi Folks,

I have several Flash files that I wish to combine into a single Flash file. However, some library items in the individual files are named the same and I don’t want to take a chance on one overwriting another. Is there some way that I can combine them without risking one library item replacing another of the same name? Is there a way that I can rename the library items in a Flash file in bulk (there’s many library items in each file)? The end result must be a single file, no external libraries, no external swf files etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Glen
