[Flashcoders] Zombie symbol - can't get rid of some text
Hey all, I know this is more of a flash question than an actionscript question, but it's sorta related. Anyway, at one time (a few versions back), I had some static text across the top of the scene, in its own layer. I moved it off the stage to test dynamically displaying the text (the movie ended up becoming multi-purpose, so instead of re-inventing the wheel, I came up with a solution using query variables) And now, the text is there when I publish it, even though I've deleted the text object, a symbol version of it AND the layer it was on. I had understood anything off of the stage wouldn't be displayed, but I'm sure that's a checkbox I'm missing. In any event, with or without hiding the off stage area, how come I can't get rid of this text? It shows up about where I originally moved it to for the testing, way above the scene, but it's not in the FLA that I can see. Is there something else I'm missing? Maybe some extraneous object files that I should delete? I can't find anything other than the SWF, FLA and HTML files in my publishing folder and it's frustrating me to no end. Help?

Hey Michael, You may want to add a mask that only displays the stage(it's quick, easy, and will not leave you stumped for hours =P ) B.

RE: [Flashcoders] Zombie symbol - can't get rid of some text
Have you looked in the project's library pane to see if there's an instance of it there? You might still have linkage that's embedding it into your compiled project. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Wohl Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 10:41 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Zombie symbol - can't get rid of some text Hey Michael, You may want to add a mask that only displays the stage(it's quick, easy, and will not leave you stumped for hours =P ) B.
