Changing an instance type

You can change the type of a instance to redefine its behavior in the movie. For example, if a graphic instance contains animation that you decide you want to play independently of the main movie's Timeline, you could redefine it as a movie clip instance.

To change the type of an instance:

1 Do one of the following:
Select an instance on the Stage and choose Modify > Instance.
Double-click an instance on the Stage.
2 Click the Definition tab.
3 In the Behavior area, select a different behavior.
4 Close the Instance Properties dialog box to apply the changes.
