I'm just wondering if the odd things I'm noticing are known bugs, or if I'm doing something wrong. I recently started using CS3, coming from flash 8.

I notice sometimes when I make a flash movie that I'm making changes to, and saving it many times, it will often not play back from the most recent save. what I mean is, say I saved the file when I had a blue box on the scene, but then I decided I wanted a red circle, and I saved it again. I'm publishing it too, not just saving. well, I notice that when I open that file, either by itself, or calling it as an external swf from another swf, it will show the blue box, instead of the new red circle. also I notice things like it not playing a movie as it looks in the scene. such as I have text in the scene which is aliased for readability, but when I play it, it is bitmaped instead. are these bugs, or am I not doing well with CS3? thanks.

What you're loading/opening is the SWF export of the flash movie that is stored in it's source format as an FLA file.

The SWF is updated when you publish or test the movie (FLA) in the IDE. If you change your blue rectangle for a red circle, save your FLA and then open your SWF without testing then you for sure won't see the red circle.

This doesn't explain why what you're seeing isn't what you published. Hope that helps :thumb:

well I do publish and test it, and the still don't work. so I guess what I want to know is, are there known bugs in CS3? because I never had this trouble with flash 8. the odd part is, I even made a new fla file and made a button and pointed it to open the external swf that I used in my non working fla, and this time it worked! it showed the image and text. so it just seems like a bug to me.
