5b3 OSX: Switch Layers not exporting as Flash symbols

I've noticed that when I export a flash animation that has a switch layer, the shapes in the vector layers used by the switch layer don't export as Flash symbols, even though the layers are vector optimised.

I can't tell you very much without seeing the Moho file. Can you upload it somewhere or email it to support@lostmarble.com?

Done and done. I've emailed you a couple of .moho files that exhibit the problem. Thanks!

I've done a bit more testing, and have found the following, which may be helpful in fixing the bug I mentioned in my first post above:

If you have a layer that is set to be invisible at frame 0 or 1, and then made visible later in the animation, it is not output as a Flash symbol, even if the layer is vector optimised.

The problem with the switch layers is probably related to this since the switch layer only has one layer visible at a time. Whatever layer is visible at frame 0/1 is output as a Flash symbol, while the others aren't.

Hope this helps!

Fixed for beta 4.
