For sprites only: Undo will not revert visually content after you change anything about a PlaceObject. However if you save the file after using Undo, then reload it, it is apparent that Undo did work internally. This bug is present since several major versions ago.

This should be fixed in nightly 2755, try it.

Tested on nightly 2756. It now works correctly if Undo is used on sprite's context menu, but still doesn't update if used on PlaceObject's context menu.

PlaceObject's Undo still doesn't work (I get an exception now).

I can't reproduce it. Could you copy paste the exception here? Or better - add sample SWF where this happens and describe steps you do.

I will attach a flash when I find the exact steps to reproduce it.

I think I found it. Exception occurs when these steps are followed: 1. Change anything within a sprite (I delete a placeobject) 2. Use Undo from sprite's context menu 3. Change anything within a PlaceObject in the same sprite (I do it with one of the flags or scale or X/Y) 4. Use Undo from PlaceObject's context menu So I realy managed to trigger this before because I was testing how both Undo's worked. This works on every flash I tried, so I'll skip on attaching a file again.
