I was looking through the library items & see alot of images & graphics that I don't see in the finished product on the webpage.

How To Remove Unused Items From Library?
Aug 13, 2009Flash CS4 is really good for design and development point of view. But I noticed two things:If library have more item then there is no option on right click "Select Unused Items". How can I get this option "Select Unused Items" on right Click while library have a more items with scrollbar?Some times the actions window's height increased. At this time there is no option to decrease the height of actions window except the Reset option.
View 3 RepliesItems In Library Linked Together Somehow, But Want To Delete One
Aug 13, 2009I'm practice with Flash, and trying out different things, but somehow, I managed to create a movie symbol from a graphic symbol, and now whenever I try deleting one of the symbols, it effects the other symbol as well.
I only want one of these symbols, yet I can't seem to only keep one. They both seem to depend on each other, and I don't know how to get around this.
How To "search' For Library Items
Oct 19, 2009I am developing a site in flash and have over 800 Library Items. My problem is, I need to edit a portion of a Library Item and cannot find the Library Item, and NO, I did not delete the Library Item because when I go to preview or test the flash document, the Library Item is there in the movie. Is there any way to search for the Library Item? I am using Flash Professional 8..
View 2 RepliesRename All Selected Library Items?
Feb 21, 2011version flash cs5
ok so i know the general code to rename all selected library items
var items = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.getSelectedItems();
for (var i=0; i<items.length; i++){
var item = items[i];
item.name = "ABC_"+item.name;
}
but this isn't good enough if the library items are in folders... because item.name returns the full path, but item.name sets the name. o.O as someone else points out here, [URL]
so when i try to rename Level1 to be ABC_Level1 if Level1's folder path is LIBRARY/FolderA/FolderB/Level1 i get this instead ABC_FolderA-FolderB-Level1
i could probably code some sort of string parser something like this,
item.name = "ABC_"+item.name.substr(item.name.lastIndexOf("-"), 99)
but that is really ugly and would not work if library items contained "-" already. "Level-1" for example
different way to access the name that returns just the name and not the path
ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Library Items From XML?
Jan 29, 2010I've got a flash movie that loads images from an external folder.

May 21, 2010I was wondering if you could loop through your library or a specific folder in your library and get alle linkage names of items that have 'Export for Actionscript' checked. I have an amount of items in my library of which I want to random pick one. Of course I could just use an array of linkage names that correspond to my library items, but I was wondering if there is a more efficient way.

Jan 18, 2006if there is a way to get a manual text list (or an array or really just anything I could use to get an overview) of items in the library of an FLA...?
I have about 60 movieclips of different flags in my FLA- they all are "linked" to be used in Actionscript- so they have names there but are not named otherwise (as instances on the stage, for example).
Is there a way to get a list of them? I don't want to have to type them all out manually, if there is another way

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading And Library Items?
Sep 30, 2010so I have a few questions about preloading and specifically preloading in relation to items within the library which get added to the stage through AS3.
The main thing I don't understand is, what is the library? Are these assets contained within the FLA itself and is their data transferred to the SWF on export? If that is the case, does preloading the entire SWF preload its entire library (even the items that are not on the stage?)
If not, how do I preload items which are in the library?

View 10 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Subclassing - Library Items And GetDefinitionByName?
Aug 29, 2009I've recently inherited an AIR project, which is basically a widget that displays product images and static content (contact details etc) on the desktop.The original project was developed in CS4/AS3, and has been published and works fine. Since then, the original developer has gone overseas and I've been hired to make new versions of this widget, UI reskins, different products, etc. I work in CS3, so I've had the original Flash authoring file saved down, gotten Flash CS3 to be able to publish for the AIR runtime, and found the relevant AIR classes that I need. This has all gone smoothly.
The problem I'm having, is that there seems to be some strange way that the original developer has linked the library items to their relevant classes, and I'm trying to unravel this.I'm going to use the clip called windowApplication as my example.In the library, there is a movie clip symbol called 'windowApplication'. In its linkage settings, its class is set to 'windowApplication', and its base class 'com.aca.windows.Application'.The Application class extends the MovieClip class.However, when I test the app, I get compiler errors
'5000: The class 'com.aca.windows.Application' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.'
'1151: A conflict exists with definition SectionBackground in namespace internal.'
(SectionBackground is the first variable declaration in the Application class. Commenting it out makes this error change to the second variable declaration).
I can remove this error by changing the class of the 'windowApplication' symbol to 'Application' and setting the base class to 'flash.display.MovieClip', however that doesn't seem to instantiate the class properly. The symbol appears onscreen, but none of its instantiating functions are called.
The windowApplication object is instantiated using a getDefinitionByName call. I've had a google and looked around various forums, and I've seen suggestions that classes used in getDefinitionByName need to also have a fake instantiation so that they're compiled in Flash. I've tried this but it makes no difference.It seems to me that the getDefinitionByName call is working properly, as it does bring up the correct symbol - but only when the base class is flash.display.MovieClip.
I had another movie clip, called sectionMain, that also had this problem. Its original class was 'sectionMain' and its base class is 'com.aca.sections.Main'. It, too, threw a compiler error 5000. I changed the symbol's class to 'Main' and the base class to 'flash.display.MovieClip', when testing the app, this brought up the symbol. When I changed it back to the original settings, it worked fine, the object was called properly and I could interact with it. However, when the errors with the Application class are thrown, I also get the 5000 error for the Main class - without having changed anything.When I change the class of the windowApplication symbol to 'Application' instead of 'windowApplication', I get a warning that Flash can't find the class and will create one at runtime.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Library Items Via An Array?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Delete The Library Items At Runtime?
Apr 27, 2010Is it possible to delete the library items at runtime?
I am loading b.swf in a.swf. After some time b.swf unloads and c.swf is loaded inside a.swf. Though the b.swf unloads but the library items of b.swf remain there and conflict with the library items of c.swf. c.swf has some items with the same name as in b.swf. c.swf shows the movieclips from the library of b.swf with similar name.
I think the best way would have been to load these assets externally instead of keeping them in the library if we want to destroy them at runtime. But, we have a large number of already constructed files. Ability to destroy the library items at runtime will also help maintain memory usage in limits.
Professional :: Can't Get Imported Library Items To Appear On Stage?
Oct 7, 2010I am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search.

Nov 15, 2011Why does Flash still offer to declare library items as either MovieClip, Graphic or Button?

Oct 11, 2011I have a really big project that has gone through many iterations, and has gotten very large. I am certain there are a lot of library items that are not being used, but I am not sure how to identify them. The FLA file is really large, 500 MB. And I am running into memory problems. Is there a way to remove all unused library items in an FLA? Or at least identify them?
