While working on a lil project (a signature file actually) ive noticed my library has been filling up with Tween## graphic symbols.

Im guessing it is doing this because I add a motion tween on a vector graphic instead of converting it to a symbol and then tweening it but I am not sure, if someone could clear this up for me mebbe I could keep my library’s size down 🙂

Thanks

Whenever you apply a motion tween to any kind of graphic, it has to be a symobl in order to do that so when you went ahead and tweened the graphics before you turned them into a symbol, flash automatically does it for you and names it accordingly.

Well why would it make 4 graphic symbols from on graphic tween tho then? I guess that is what is confusing me.

Are you highlighting the **entire** vector graphic when you convert it?

DoH! Nm, just figured out what it was doing, hehe (retraced my steps but kept the library window open so i could see when it added things in there)

I created a few key frames with my graphic then added in a tween between them. For each tween fragment it made them all graphic symbols instead of just using the same graphic symbol.

Thanks for the help!
