I think I've found a bug in MX2004 (also happens in Flash 8), but I'm curious to see if anyone else has noticed this. The problem exists in the Find & Replace feature. If you perform a global F&R on the entire file, it seems to complete successfully. However, if you close the movie and re-open it and perform the search again, you will notice that it finds many of the ones it supposedly replaced before. The only replaces that actually took are ones where the replaced variable was displayed in the actions panel at the time the F&R was performed.
Attached is a good test case.
1) Search for "test_var" (you will find 3 instances of it).
2) Replace it with something else.
3) Without digging in to verify that it actually replaced them, save and close the file.
4) Re-open the file and perform the search again. You will see that now 2 of the 3 have reverted back to "test_var".
Anyone got any ideas as to what's going on here?
