ive made a symbol and i want to make instances of it in many projects. ive tried exporting it as an swc but then it wont let me import it to the library, seems to not want to import swcs to the library.
View 2 RepliesI have several related projects. If I pull a symbol from the library of one project into another project, and then modify the symbol, shouldn't the changes appear in the original project too? Or is a new, project-unique symbol auto-created that has the exact same name as the one in the original library?I have a multi-scene cartoon with recurring characters, and would very much like to make modifications as I notice imperfections, and trust that the changes will appear in all instances. Is this possible?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way for me to export a symbol from the library so I can use it in multiple files without having to add the symbol to each library?
View 1 RepliesI made a scene with movement and everything, but when I convert it to a symbol I lose the movement frames. I want to be able to import it as an object so that the animation loops for as long as I need it to in the other project.

View 1 RepliesNow, my problem is that my schedules are tight now, I can't finish a sprite animation for a day. My sprite animations are symboled or SYMBOLS . Now, if I can't finish an animation, I doubt of closing flash, cause it will vanquish all my symbols. . I just want your help to help me determine how to save a symbol, so I can open it nex time I use flash. .

View 2 RepliesI have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".
To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?
what i want to do is, when certain button is clicked, replace a certain symbol(button) by another symbol(movieclip) stored in the library. i try things like loadmovie("","") to replace the symbol from a external jpg, but some how it does not align even both images are exact dimension. can i replace an image straight from the library?
View 1 RepliesI animated eyes blinking inside of a movie clip symbol and placed the symbol on a face outside of the symbol.The eyes are stuck on the first frame. I am using CS5. What do I do?
View 5 RepliesHow do i get the hitTest() function to test if a certain symbol is hitting another symbol, but, only if drawn parts of the symbol are touching, not thier outer bounds.
View 2 RepliesBasically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.
View 2 RepliesI'm, trying to create a duplicate symbol and then be able to drag the symbol around the screen.I have an image - once converted to a button and on the stage as paddock_btn. The other converted to paddock_mc in the library, with a linkage identifier of "paddock".I want to be able to click the button, and create a duplicate, which can be dragged and placed on the screen.Unfortunately, I don't get any output errors here.
Code:
//create a function to duplicate paddock
function dupe_paddock():Void {
i = i + 1;

I have a scrollout menu for my flash movie, but each of the buttons have to be movies symbols. I try to attach:
on (release) {
gotoand stop(4)
}
But I get the error that this script only works for buttons. Anyone able to lend some assist? I suck at actionscript.
So i've done SOME work with flash and AS3, right now i'm working on a website for my boss, he bought some template online which has stuff laid out and animated and everything already, now I just have to integrate our content.My issue is this, I've got 2 symbols on the screen, one of which contains alot of buttons that list our services as company, the second symbol contains the content (or descriptions) of those services, which on are separate keyframes.What I'm trying to accomplish is that when you hit the button in "symbol A", it affects the "symbol B" and goes to the corresponding keyframe.For example when I click "button 2" in "symbol A", "symbol B" goes to keyframe 2.Now if they were in the same symbol it would be something like
on(release){
goToAndStop(2);
}

View 1 RepliesI downloaded CS4 and created several projects, but then the 30 day trial period ended. When I opened up my licensed CS3, and tried to open the projects I created in CS4, they didn't open.I don't understand why Adobe would do this, unless they didn't, ? I can't believe it is not backward compatible?

Basically i am making a presentation of some projects. I have a three button (with movieclips underneath) left handed navigation menu. When I click various buttons, the movieclip underneath it will move right and expand to fill the available content area. Now when I click other buttons, I want the current movieclip that is currently open to reduce in size and return to it's start position, followed but the newly selected movieclip to move right and increase in size.This is what my little brain thinks may work:Somewhere (perhaps on the main stage) you have code like this:
var lastusedmovie = ?? (array, string??)
Then on each of the buttons over the movieclips you have the following code
On(release) {
lastusedmovie.gotoAndPlay(32) // THE FRAME THAT CLOSES THE BOX
then // OR SOMETHING ELSES THAT SAYS DO THIS BIT AFTER THE BOX HAS CLOSED

View 1 RepliesI found this question, and it mentions the FlashDevelop wiki. However, I couldn't find anything there at all.
Where is a good place to start? I have done some work with MXML projects using the Flex SDK, but never any ActionScript programming.
So, I popped open up Flash CS5 just now, and I couldn't find my projects panel. I was working on a dual screen set up previously, so my windows were everywhere anyways (sans external). I switched over to a smaller screen workspace, and popped opened the projects panel. Oddly enough, the code snippets panel came up instead. So, I switched off the code snippets, and tried again. I've been trying different ways of opening this panel for about 15 minutes, and I'm totally stumped. Some thorough googling didn't present any relevant results, so, StackOverflow, I turn to you. Is this a known issue? is there a secret backdoor way to open this panel?
View 1 RepliesMy goal is to make a flash/as3 program that would pull multiple sets of data (images and texts) from the database and compile and save a flash video project for each one. What might be the best way to go about making this work? I checked but wasn't able to find a function that would publish the flash project in it's current state, so I don't think I can execute the entire process in a single flash/as3 file. My only other option is to have some other program/batch file take care of the querying the database and compiling multiple flash/as3 movies by starting up a flash program and passing it the parameters of the data it needs to build 1 complete project for 1 set of data. Is there a program to create .swf files automatically? Is it even possible to pass in init params to flash/as3 project?
View 1 RepliesI'm writing application in Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 using AIR 3 SDK. I want to debug throw swf files which downloaded from the internet.My project consist of:
1. MainProject (Android Mobile app proj)
2. LibFile (flex project)
3. ExtraGame (web app using LibFile).
So, when I build .swf file from LibFile+ExtraGAme, load it from internet and run it from MainProject in different Application domains - I can't debug in ExtraGAme project. So how can I debug such projects?
