Title: Advice on organizing library items
Hi I'm working on a project that's pulling a lot of library items out onto the stage via attachMovie - there's not problem in doing so - it's just some of the items inside the main.fla are quite complex (ie; faceplates for a popup panel) and changing them from time to time is a little sluggish.
What's the best way to deal with library items for attachMovie? Is there a way to load them externally and still have them for LINKAGE? etc
Thanks!

to update a library item you can simply click the update button in properties window. This allows to update any object like image, sounds in library, rather than importing again.
For attachMovie you should have the object with instance name in library. You can create external libraries which load on runtime.

Thanks for your reply Wilbur, can you explain how to go about using external libraries? How do you do it?

I think you need to create shared Libraries. Shared library in flash can be a single swf containing symbols that can be used in multiple projects without the need to download again and again. Check this URL for tutorial on creating shared object library
