Build 2002.01.09 Changes

Fixed a crash when selecting instance as first thing you do.
Empty scenes with no events or objects now have 0 frames (otherwise at least one frame)
The text object with complex scripts is now displayed correctly. A complex script requires special processing to display because the characters, or glyphs, are not laid out in a simple way such as Arabic.
Text is now displayed properly when using vertical text flow in Japanese Win98.
Fixed a crash when importing a WMF file with EMR_BITBLT records.
In the effect setting dialog, the change in the edit box of a property page is now saved when the page is no longer the active page.

Build 2001.11.01 Changes

You can set y-scale and y-angle independently as expected.
You can click on a single event in the timeline without multiply selecting (problem from 2001.10.16).
Backup files are not named *.sbk instead of *.bak so they are easier to distinguish.
Non-English versions correctly find effect folders.
Does not add unnecessary place tags with zero alpha at the start of a complex effect. This can make SWF files slightly smaller.
No longer makes all sprites loop when exporting to AVI (actions in sprites are not disabled)
Instance and Sprite correctly kept in sync after changing (problem from 2001.10.16)
Importing a swi no longer can skew or rotate the view (???)
Credits moved from about dialog to web site (to be updated) to avoid dialog limitations (lots of credits now).

Build 2001.10.16 Changes

NEW: Shift-click now selects a number of events/effects at the same time (group select).
To select a group of effects or events in the timeline, you had to Ctrl+Click on each one individually to add them to the selection. Now you can use Shift-Click to add a whole bunch at a time. This makes it much easier to grab all the effects on a row and copy and paste them (or delete them).
The menu items of a menu button are now always shown on the screen.
This refers to things like the load effect dropdown menu in the effect settings panel, and the scene name dropdown menu in the Goto Frame action panel. This should work better for Win98/ME where the menus wouldn't scroll before.
Zoom to scene in a sprite now zooms to same level as zoom to scene does in a scene.
Zoom to Fit Scene when inside a sprite used to do the same as View at 100%. Now it sets the zoom factor to the same as if you did a "zoom to scene" in a scene.
Always-fit flag is now correctly replicated for all shapes when splitting a shape into pieces.
Previously, if you did the trick of making a grid of squares, grouping as a shape, applying an image fill with the "[x] Always Fit" turned on, and then doing an Ungroup, only one of the resultant little squares had a miniature copy of whole image - the rest had the corresponding part of the image. In this case, the one little square was actually doing the right thing, and the others were wrong. Now (if "[x] Always Fit" is checked) all the little squares will contain miniature versions of the whole image. NOTE: If you turn off "[x] Always Fit" you get the usually wanted behavior all the time (as always).
The objects in a sprite are no longer automatically recentered when closing the sprite. They stay where you put them.
Now, you can move objects around within a sprite and they will keep their coordinate within the sprite.
For example, you can use this to make LoadMovie into sprite easier, by adding a rectangle of the same size as the SWF to load and putting it in the sprite with its top-left corner at the [0,0] position.
Fixed the panning problem in sprites.
Panning with the pan tool kept resetting the pan position every time when inside a sprite
Fixed the crash when having an empty text in a sprite.
Don't think this one affected many people .. only had one report of this problem.
Fixed the crash when changing the fill style of a merged shape.
Don't think this one affected many people either
