Hello, im a beginner in flash cs3,my problem is that when i draw a stroke it automatically converts into a symbol so if i want to edit it,example to bend it using the selection  tool,i have to press control b to break it first.how do i set it so that flash wont automatically turn the strokes to symbols. Thank you in advance.

Answer
Hello,

I never had this happen to me.
It probably has to do with the version of Flash you are using and how you have your preferences set.

Check out some Flash user groups for postings or post your problem there for a reply.
