Actionscript 3 :: Library Symbol Extend Another Library Symbol / Assuming Each Are Linked To Class?
Dec 9, 2010Library symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.

Jul 5, 2010When you import a PNG into the library, Flash creates a symbol as well. It doesn't do this for JPGs, so I'm wondering if there's a setting that I can change that. I don't want it to create a new symbol. If it can't be changed, can anyone tell me why it does it for PNG and not JPG?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading A Symbol From The Library (with A String)?
Apr 1, 2009I am trying to load a movieclip from the library onto my stage. But the name of the movieclip is read in from a user-entered text field. Typically, to load a movieclip from the library named, Bee, I would do the following:
var mc:MovieClip = new Bee; // this works.
But the name of my symbol is in a TextField. The following do not work:
// Attempt #1:
var mc:MovieClip = new userfield_txt.text; // No Good
// Attempt #2:
var str:String = userfield_txt.text;
[code]....
I realize the new operator requires a Class data-type, so how do I get the value stored in a String or TextField into a Class type?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Particular Symbol From Library Onto Stage?
Dec 16, 2008I'm new to Flash, am working on my first Flash Project. I've been trying to move a particular symbol from my library onto the stage and when I do, I'm getting a "Resolve Library Conflict" error that says "One or more library items already exist in the document." and it gives me the choice to replace the existing items or not. It only appears to be happening with 1 or 2 particular symbols, not all of them. I did use this same symbol (as a graphic bullet) earlier in the project with no problem, but now it won't let me use it again. However, I have other symbols in the library that I have used multiple times throughout the project and I don't get this error pop-up when moving them into new frames. I don't see any mention of this in my Flash book, why I'm getting this and how to resolve it?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Checking If Symbol Exists In Library
Aug 13, 2007My situation is thus: I have an XML file with entries, each of which contains a handle (linkage ID) to the movie clip that represents that entry onstage. So I dynamically load these symbols in from the library accordingly. Only problem is, I need to be able to count how many of those entries are valid, that is, how many of the XML entries have handles that actually do correctly correspond to the names of the symbols in the library. So right now in order to count the entries I am using the value of how many entries were in the XML file but this is wrong, I need a value of how many entries in the XML correspond correctly to a library symbol.
As it stands now, if all the names in the XML file match those in the .fla, all is good. Otherwise, issues. The thing is, I want this setup to be robust so the program takes responsibility and resolves issues if there are errors in the XML. Now, the only way I can see to fixing this simply, is if there is a way to check if a symbol exists in the library -- without actually trying to load it. That way I can count just those symbols from the XML file that also do exist in the library.
