when i convert an object to a symbol and edit it into Edit in Place and getting out of Symbol Editing Mode after the change have been made, the edited objects are also showing on stage.
View 2 RepliesI have created a button symbol which consists of a rounded rectangle with text on top. After adding two filters (bevel and glow), I went to edit the symbol. However, in the editing screen, I can't seem to access the filters; they don't show up in the properties panel when the button is selected. I'd like to change the glow color for the Over and Down states.

View 1 RepliesThe symbols appear properly in the library. To edit the circle, I double click it on the stage.It appears to open for editing - the status bar above the stage says SCENE 1 -- SYMBOL 1 - but the square symbol on the stage DOES NOT gray out to indicate I am editing the circle I make changes to the circle and click out of editing mode, and yes, the changes have been made to the symbol in the library. So the editing process appears to have worked.
I overlook the square not graying out and begin writing my ActionScript, a simple script that changes the color of the circle or square in response to mouse overs. When I test the movie, the circle works perfectly but the square is unresponsive. It seems like Flash does not realize the square is on the stage.his exercise comes from the Missing Manual Flash CS5 book.When I download the completed exercise from their website and double click THEIR circle for editing, the remaining symbol DOES turn gray on my stage to indicate it is not being edited.My code appears to be identical to theirs. I have started over from scratch over a dozen times now, but I seem to keep making the same mistake.
If I click on a symbol, go to the properties tab, click on the width textbox, type in 1000, hit enter, it then reports the width being 999.95. That's .05 pixels off from what I wanted.
I have snap to objects disabled. The symbol in question is a 1000x500 linear gradient rotated 90 degrees alone in it's own layer in a movie clip.
You know normally when you are on a stage and then you click into on movieclip on the stage you see the other stage items faded out still and can edit the specific movieclip you are in, like soo.the normal mode for clicking on symbol on the stage.you can still see the faded stage elements in the background.screen1.jpg (30.81 KiB) Viewed 454 times
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to change the color of a graphic symbol instance, several times across the movie clip timeline. (the symbol is also rotating across the timeline.) for each keyframe, when i double-click on the graphic symbol, break apart and then change the color in the properties panel, then go back to the movieclip timeline, ALL the keyframes with that symbol has changed colors and not just the one instance on the keyframe that i'm on.
View 8 RepliesFor a hangman-esque game I have a flash document (using CS5, but that probably doesn't matter) that has (or rather will have) a library of 26 movie clips which will contain a letter of the alphabet each. They will be inside their own dynamic textbox, so I am able to change the font, colour background etc. at will. But is it even possible to change more than one instance of a movie clip on the stage at the same time, without getting too complex?
In other words can I put multiple A's, B's, C's etc. on the stage and get all of them to change at the same time if someone guesses a letter? I know that you can change single instances of a movie clip, but for that you need to give each instance a name and I don't know how many of each letter I would be putting on the stage, let alone how I could access them all easily. Perhaps it could be through classes or something? I haven't really covered them before though. Feel free to ask for any more details... I admit some of I stuff I write can be a bit vague...
In the Flash authoring environment I can edit a library symbol and all on-stage instances based upon it reflect the changes. How can I do the same thing in ActionScript? There seems to be no way to address a library symbol.
For example:Inside Flash CS3, I have created a Square.swf file that has 100 instances of the library symbol Square.
Now, Square.swf is loaded into another file BlueSquare.swf and I want to change the Square symbol into a blue square so that all instances of Square become blue.How do I do this using Actionscript?
I'm new to the whole flash thing and I'm learning on flash 8 - In photoshop you can group layers so that the blending mode you use on a layer will only apply to the layers in that group... I've been searching all over, and maybe it's right in front of me, but does flash have a way of isolating the selected blending mode to just the layers or objects of the user's choice?

Consider the following Flex code:

To properly resize the objectInViewStack2 I need to know how large the screen is when in full screen mode.
I have attached a video on a frame of my website in Flash. When I preview the movie the film plays as it should.But when I export the Fla. as a Swf. file it then doesn't have the movie there anymore?It does show this error:
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'FLVPlayback' was already assigned to the symbol 'Video/FLVPlayback', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'FLVPlayback', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
I really don't know what that refers too.

View 2 RepliesI have imported a lot of paths from an Adobe Illustrator document right into a flash file. The paths exists as Drawing Objects inside the scene. Using pure actionscript, how can I move a symbol following each of the lines, without using predefined Motion Guides.
EDIT: I've attached the Flash file, full of drawing objects.

The question is: Are these drawing objects accessible through AS3 or I should convert them to symbols / whatever format necessary.

I started building a gallery in flash before i realised that it was a bit out of my reach at the moment so I downloaded one and set to work altering it for my purposes ( and learning some action script at the same time ) but I've hit a problem. The title in the .fla file can be changed font size etc however after the first frame it's then replaced by another which i can edit but only by editing the .xml file does anyone know where / What I need to look for to alter the size positioning etc.
View 3 RepliesWhen I go to edit a layer with a motion tween, it records all my movements. How do I edit motion tweens correctly?
View 2 RepliesI can't edit it in the sense that I am unable to go in and take the eraser tool and erase a section of the scene on that layer that wasn't created in Flash. I can draw on it in Flash and modify it that way. I can effect it via tweens enlarge, alpha transparency etc. But I can't erase part of the graphic that I created outside of Flash in Photoshop.I've tried erasing on the graphic itself, also after it's converted to a movie clip - inside the movie clip's timeline etc. It doesn't work. As I said , I can draw on it and effect it but I can't erase part of what was already in it before it was imported from PS4.
View 1 Repliesim trying to create a flash file that is randomly showing different objects/images, i believe i have the correct codes although i have encountered an error.
[Code].....
The dataProvider for my grid contains several objects. Some of which have a Number value, and some Boolean values under field 'value' (other fields are used in other columns).I would like to be able to render differently for each data-type, i.e. have a checkBox for booleans, and a label for numbers. Furthermore, I would like to be able to edit these fields differently, unchecking the checkbox for booleans, and using a numericStepper for Numbers.
Just FYI, I decided to go with AdvancedDataGrid, to take advantage of the styleFunction property, nothing more..Tried to used spark-states, which didn't seem to work as I'm using an AdvancedDataGrid. I'm not sure what the problem was.
I am curious about where I can find sound files that I can use in Flash CS4 or some software that may be usefull in creating/editing/converting sound files to .wav or .mp3 for use in Flash. I should probably also note that although I do have Flash CS4 I am very low on funds for software

View 1 RepliesI've knocked together a Java/BlazeDS server which creates a generic GridBean object. This GridBean contains:[code]I then created a Flex app that uses a RemoteObjectServiceWrapper to call my java server, grab the GridBean, create some DataGrid columns from the columnDefs and then set the dataProvider as the list of objects. Ok so far, everything renders.Now, what I'd really like to do is: set up some kind of event handler on the flex side so that if my item/object is edited in the datagrid, I fire a message off to java saying 'edited this field on this item'. The end goal is to have a nice generic way to render any list of objects from Java in a flex datagrid.
