That strange red point

What the little red point the appears over the vector layer symbol in the layers windows means ? Every time I create a new file it appears but all of the sudden it disapears.

More strange is that when I import an object from the library, the red dot seems to stay for longer.

Strange. I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation...

Thanks !

That little red dot means that the layer is still "Flash Optimized". Moho can't do Flash morphs, so as long as you haven't done any point animation (among any number of other things, but thats the most common), it'll keep your flash file small, As soon as you do any point animation, it wont go to flash. That's why the little red dot goes way. If you're developing for Flash, try to keep to layer moves (translations, rotations, etc.), if not, not a concern.

For more information about optimizing your files for Flash export, take a look at the Reference->Flash Tips section of the Moho manual.

(If you're not planning to export to Flash, you can just ignore those red dots.)
