Flash File Setups

Here's how this is going to work...

I have the master file with each scene converted to a symbol. I'll paste that scene into it's own Flash file to hand out to you, named with the scene number and version number. So if you're the first person to work on scene 7, you'll get 7 _v00.fla. You'll update the version number when you turn it in, example: 7_v01.fla. (Sound familiar?)

Symbol naming convention-
When you make a symbol, name it: scene number-dot-symbol number. So if you're working in scene 3, you'll name the first symbol 3.1, then following symbols 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, etc... This way when I paste your scene into the master file, there will be no symbol naming conflicts as there might be if people use names like "head" or "hand".

Because this is such a small project, and essentially traditionally animated, I don't think we have to create a model pack or shared library like you might do with other Flash cartoons.
