Keep it on the timeline, don't switch to external AS files unless you want to give yourself suicide thoughts ;)
If you wanted to switch over to using classes, that's a different story, but for only 10-30 lines per movieclip on the timeline, I'd say just keep going with how you're doing it. It is working right? In terms of the Flash AS editor -- I agree, it is a POS, but I set my own color scheme and everything so mine's all tricked out and it's not half as bad as it is with default settings ;) - Taka On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 11:34 AM, Joel Stransky <[email protected]> wrote: > Hahaha.
