Hi,
Just getting started with animator and have CTA2 Pro.

When looking in my PROPS templates in CTA2, I see props WITH and WITHOUT a (0).

For example: Bus Stop and Bus Stop (0).

Could someone enlighten me as to what's the difference between the two?

Many thanks, Bob

Les-

Okay, thanks for the reply.
Mine aren't in the scene manager but
in the actual template section.

With what you said though, I assume
I must have loaded in a second set of
these when installing.  Only thing that 
makes sense.  Put both instances on the stage
and there's really no difference.

I guess I can delete the repetive ones with (0)

Thanks for your time!

When re-install objects it asks if you want to overwrite/replace existing files or not if it finds those files already exist.
If you select NOT to overwrite existing files then it makes a copy with a number in parens after it.
(0) for the first copy, (1) for the second, etc.

Thanks Jeff-

Figured it was something like that.
You tutorials are on my bookmarks bar
along with others to get up to speed on this.

Used to do a lot of this sort of thing back
in the Flash 8 days so it's beginning to get
easier with each passing attempt.

QUICK QUESTION
When purchasing, I wasn't sure if I would be using
this software much so only went with the G2 totally symbols bundle.
From your experience (or anyone else for that matter)
what are some MUST HAVE optional packs for CTA2
that are great additions for same?  I'm just talking about
really key ones for initials productions.

Any thoughts appreciated and thanks again for your time!
