Flash 10 :: Remove Unused Library Items For FLA?

Oct 11, 2011

I 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?

How To Remove Unused Items From Library?

Aug 13, 2009

Flash 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.

Delete Unused Library Files?

Jun 18, 2010

On my first FLASH CS4 site I have changed several files from PS and re-imported Imported them into stage several times. Now the library contains lots of folders, i.e. Web Site.psd Assets 1 / Web Site.psd Assets 2 / Web Site.psd Assets 3 etc etc.. They obviously contain the same asset names, each with a corrected content.How can I determine which files are the ones used and delete all the others from the library?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Find A Remove Unused Imports

Jul 14, 2010

I've been working on a project for some time now in flash develop and it's come time to clean it up. While I was working on it I re sorted code into different classes without removing the imports in the existing classes. Now I know I probably have a ton of unused imports in classes I was wondering if their was an easy way to find these and remove them. At the moment the only way I can think is comment them out one by one until the app chucks a spaz?

Professional :: Save Unused Symbols To A Separate Library?

Oct 6, 2011

I would like to keep my project library tidy, which means deleting symbols I end up not using. However, I want to be able to find these symbols later in case I do end up wanting to use them for a related project. Can I create a library outside of a project, so I can drop these items into it for later use?

Flash :: Declare Library Items As Either MovieClip

Nov 15, 2011

Why does Flash still offer to declare library items as either MovieClip, Graphic or Button? Is this just for backwards compatibility or is there any reason not to use MovieClip for everything? (Well, Button does have some additional functionality, but what about Graphic? does a Graphic have any advantage over a MovieClip?)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flex Builder W. Flash Library Items?

May 6, 2009

I have found a way!  It's very complicated though...   Hopefully someone has an idea on how to clean this up...
 
The workflow:
------------------
I'm using Flash to draw movieClips which are exported as one assets.swc file and then used in Flex for coding.
 
The scenario:
------------------
I've been working / thinking about this for the past 3 days..  it's driving me a little crazy.    I've simplified my code down to 3 boxes that are drawn onto the screen.  Each containing one background movieClip.  The three boxes are three individual box clips in the Flash IDE library (different designs).  But all three boxes share the same functionality.
 
The problem:
------------------
When using a custom baseclass (AbstractBox.as) to define all the functionality for the boxes, Flex looses all the code hinting for the movieClips inside the box movieClip (bg in our example)   Also it seems like Interfacing doesn't work since as3 can't define MovieClip instances or any other variables in interfaces.
 
[code]...
 
Now my question:  Why is this so complicated!?   Isn't there a cleaner / simpler way to write this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Document Class And Instantiating Linkage / Exported Library Items?

Aug 19, 2010

I have a symbol named picHolder. In symbol properties under linkage, I chose "Export for ActionScript" and "Export in frame 1" and gave it a class name of picHolder.Normally, to instantiate a new instance, I'd say:

Code:
var tempPic:picHolder = new picHolder();
and I'd go about my way.

Possible To Tell Which Library Items Aren't Used?

Apr 12, 2011

I have a flash file, which is a header for a website. I inherited it from my company's previous webmaster. I was looking through the library items & see alot of images & graphics that I don't see in the finished product on the webpage. The guy worked really sloppy so it's possible there's alot of unused items. Is there anyway to easily tell which items are not used in the final exported flash file so I can clean it up?

Items In Library Linked Together Somehow, But Want To Delete One

Aug 13, 2009

I'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.

Rename All Selected Library Items?

Feb 21, 2011

version 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 :: Loop Through Library Items?

May 21, 2010

I 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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get A List Of The Items In The Library?

Jan 18, 2006

if 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

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading And Library Items?

Sep 30, 2010

so 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Subclassing - Library Items And GetDefinitionByName?

Aug 29, 2009

I'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 :: .as Equivalent To Linkage In Library Items?

right now i have some items in my library that use a base class using the linkage menu item by right clicking on the item in the library.

i want to dynamically populate the movie clips instead of them being already in the library. I know how to create/populate the movieclips by using the loader class, but i am not sure how i assign the base class to each movieclip i create in my .as file
