ActionScript 3.0 :: Need To Import Library In All Symbol Timelines?
Feb 20, 2011
I currently need the following for some of my AS code to function:[code]I have 3 MovieClip symbols which each have an "actions" layer on their timeline so I can add in some functionality.Do I have to import the above into all 3 of my MovieClips, or can I import the above on the main timeline and access it from inside my MovieClip symbols?Also is there a downside to importing the above into each MovieClip or no? This is my first time using functions which needed me to import things, and I just want to make sure I have the correct information on the proper way to import.

When 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?

I am embedding a flash file in my flex file and then trying to add it to the stage. IU try addChild to a canvas element and to a container element, but it keeps giving me the error, the symbol "myBtn" is cannot be converted to a IUIcomponent.
I understand that I need to place everything inside some sort of component, but what is the proper way to do this in flex?

Library 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.

I have come across a large, and very annoying bug in CS5. When animating with the same symbols over a long and complicated timeline, the rotation points of symbols earlier in the timeline begin to shift around very slightly. The more you work on the flash, the more they shift, so things that you did right at the start will begin to wobble around all over the place once your timeline gets very big. This is because, as we all know, when you tamper with a tweened symbol's rotation point, the symbol moves out of place while tweening.
This has completely ruined a large project I was working on that I began in CS4.
I am using a Mac Pro running 10.6.3

Import the whole library of another fla. via actionscript, not doing it manually? Kinda working in 2 different files and it would be much easier if i could just continue doing that and just importing them all together in a 3rd file.

This is my first post here and i'm also new with FlashCS4 and ActionScript3. I made some frames on Illustrator and exported the layers to SWF frames. When i import them to the library on FlashCS4 i get a bunch of symbols and bitmaps. I only want the movie clip and the movie clip is empty or invisible.
I've done the same with other Illustrator layers and some imports generate the symbols and bitmaps and others don't. The difference is that the ones that are imported with all the junk (symbols and bitmaps) are layers with a feather Illustrator effect.
I want to know how to import the movie clip only, or why does Flash creates all the extra items in the library.&What is the better way to animate with frames on Illustrator and use them on Flash?

Is it possible to import an .swc in the library panel... What I mean by that is to use it as a kind of shared library with my movieclip inside. I can create a new class from it but I'm wondering if its possible just to drag and drop from the library panel the mc's in my swc.

I have fla_A, and fla_B. fla_B contains a single MovieClip which contains a bunch of MovieClips that are all set to Export for ActionScript (NOT first frame, as this will need to be preloaded). I want to load fla_B into fla_A, and be able to instantiate the nested clips (inside fla_B) as if they were native to fla_A itself.
After loading the swf, I'm using:
[Code].....
Can I cast "e.currentTarget" as something useful like MovieClip (well, not MovieClip, 'cause that doesn't work), or something that will stick around from which I can dynamically load things?

I have 2 SWF, one of them (let's call it Resources.swf), that contains several symbols (most of them MovieClips) on its library, but, none of them are added into the stage ( the timeline contains only one empty frame),and then, the other swf (Main.swf), where I need to import some of the symbols from the other SWF.I have been looking around, and searching, but all the info that I saw, and tried, imports the symbols from the stage/timeline using things like:[code]If not,do I have modify my Resources.swf to work this out or do I have other alternatives?

I 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?

I'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?
