[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000080]Hi Everybody,[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000080]I am just starting out in Flash and have found a lot of cool information here at Kirupa. I based my first Flash project on the Flash 8 Creating a Simple Animation tutorial but I am having trouble with a couple of things. I am including the link to a test version of the home page of my website. At the bottom of the page is the simple animation I have made. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000080]Now here is my problem. As you can see from the animation it starts out with no letter on the page and then they appear. When I was making it I just moved the letters off of the page on to the stage and using the timeline they appear and do what I have them doing. OK when I close the fla and reopen it the letters are gone from the stage and there is nothing in the timeline except Layer one. I can go up to control and play the movie but I no longer have all of the letters or the motion tweens in the timeline. I have another animation that is very similar except the letters are already in the document. If I right click on one of the letters and then click Edit In Place all of the letter layers show up and so does all of the motion tweens and what not. [/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000080]I hope this is making sense. Any way, I know there is probably a very simple explanation on how to get all of the information back but I have skimmed through the Flash 8 Bible and Friends of Ed’s Foundation Flash 8 books and I cant find the information I need. It would kind of be like closing a Photoshop file as a PSD file and when you re-open it you have all of your layers and layer styles and such back. I will include a link to the fla so if you think down loading it will give you a better idea of what I am talking about here it is.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000080]If after looking at what I have done no one can understand what I am trying to figure out I will include screen shots next time. [/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000080]I thank you in advance,[/COLOR][/FONT]
