symbol of the editing stage

I am a very new newbie, so please forgive me if I use enough right words to describe my problem. I'm going through the tutorial from lynda.com on Flash Pro 8, and I'm in the chapter on the symbols. The instructor has described two ways to access the coast to change when you're in the scene mode: double click on the symbol in the library (which works wonders for me) or double-click the symbol on the stage (which did nothing for me). Is this strange? Is - this disturbing? I'll miss all the fun because I can not do this? If anyone else has experienced this? It works for someone else who uses a Wacom Tablet?

Thanks for the ideas there ' All can provide!

-The first thing, make sure you have the selection tool and not the Subselction tool. The selection tool is a black arrow, while the subselect tool is a white arrow. You can access this tool in your Control Panel tool, located on the left side of the screen, or pressing the key "v" on your keyboard, while that in Flash.

-If you use a Tablet, try just a regular old mouse to see if it makes a difference.

-Make sure that you are, in fact, not inside the symbol. After double clicking to go to the symbol, watch your timeline. There is a bar between the calendar and the workspace (step) which has a few buttons, which one of these buttons is the zoom percentage. On the left side of this bar, you will see "Scène 1". If it is followed by something else (as symbol 1, movie_clip, etc.) it means that you are inside the symbol. Sometimes you notice even when you are actually in the symbol (I did before), so this is a way to be sure where you stand on the stage/timeline.

  • Animation of symbols on the main stage

    I have a set of symbols. Each symbol has a rollover animation applied to it.

    Now, I want to be able to animate all these symbols to enter the main stage. This animation plays fine when I hit the button to read within the program, but when I go to preview in the browser, it will not play. I do not have a trigger to stop stop or whatever it is at the beginning of the main animation, so no sense that he would not play. I note that reference is made to the time symbol on the main stage. (chevron back Gray arrows). My individual symbols have a stop at the beginning of each trigger. Only thing I can guess is that trigger the symbols stop is keeping the main animation to play. Probably missing me something simple here, but I thought the symbol only controlled symbol animations and has no effect animations of the main stage.

    All your symbols with play (0) code.

    you might have a table with your symbol names and then a loop for

    var mySymbols = ["cat", "dog", "bird", "cloud", "snake", "rain"];

    for (i = 0; i<>

    sym.getSymbol (mySymbols [i]). Play (0);

    }

  • Dimensions of the main stage not corresponding with the rest

    Hello
    I just open a new project in Flash. Set the dimensions of the main stage at 1000 x 800.
    That I created a movie clip symbol, which will be on page 1 of the new Web site. The dimensions are 1000 x 800. I import different graphics for the design of this page. When I import this page1 (movie clip symbol) on the main stage, it is much bigger than the main stage. So that page 1 does not fit on the main stage. Could someone tell me what I did wrong or how to fix this?
    Thank you very much for any input and I apologize for this fundamental question.
    See you soon
    Janek

    When you create the instance of MovieClip, there is no canvas when you go to change his "scenario, when you drag the clip from the library to the stage on the main scenario is when you can really judge where the canvas is at... try to test your movie and see what happens. You can create an instance of MovieClip, do nothing for her, drag from the library to the center of the stage on the main timeline, then double-click it to edit it, accordingly, given the canvas gray behind her and to be able to judge where everything will happen.

  • Add the symbol to the stage based on string of symbols

    Hello

    I am the string to add a symbol on the stage based on a string value in an existing symbol which is on the stage. I get no error when the game turns, but the symbol just reproduce on stage. I have no idea why

    This is the code:

    Variables used

    var score: int = 0

    var startX:int = stage.stageWidth = 920

    var startY: int = stage.stageWidth = 475

    Check to see if the "partition" amounts to 350 in ScoreBoardDisplay.txtScore.text

    If (ScoreBoardDisplay.txtScore.Text == String (350))

    {

    var HD1 = new HealthDrop();

    HD1.x = stage.stageWidth = startX

    HD1.y = stage.stageHeight = startY

    stage.addChild (HD1);

    HealthDrops.push (HD1)

    }

    Assuming you do not penetrate into this framework, when you check the score, but are always there, or at least hang out for a while, the problem is that the conditional code that you show only will run once, immediately entering into this framework.  He is not sitting it monitor any changes in the value of the text field.  You must specify the code to run.

    In this case what you could do is to place this code in a function that runs whenever the textfield value is changed.

    This code that you have to change the value of the TextField?

  • Find the number of symbols on the stage

    Hello

    I'm trying to find out how much of symbols with a certain naming convention is on the scene. The name of these symbols are incremented by 1, if for example I have symbols "drag_1" & "drag_2" currently on the stage and I want to go back to how many symbols "drag_" is on the scene. This can change depending on how much of these symbols that the user adds to the scene.

    I have included some pseudo-code below to help understand what I'm talking about!

    for (var i = 0; i < 100; i ++) {}

    If (SYMBOL_ON_STAGE = "drag_" + i) {}

    number_of_symbols = number_of_symbols + 1

    }

    }

    Thanks for any help!

    You can use

    var childSymbols = sym.getChildSymbols ();

    var num = 0

    for (var i = 0; i)<>

    var reg = new RegExp(/Stage_drag_*/);

    {if (Reg.test (childSymbols [i] .getSymbolElementNode (USER.USER)))}

    NUM ++;

    }

    }

    Alert (num);

    Maybe it's a simple question, I hope...

    I need to place a symbol in the Middle AND the bottom of a sensitive site (stage height/width = 100%). the size of the symbol is fixed and does NOT change when resizing the browser window.

    for a better understanding, I created this fantastic visual:

  • How to return to the main stage from inside a symbol

    Greetings,

    I'm going absolutely crazy trying to get back to the main stage from inside a symbol.

    To open the symbol on a click of the main stage...

    var mySymbolObject = sym.createChildSymbol ("practiceScene", "Stage");

    It works, I get the symbol

    To return to the main stage from within the symbol on a click...

    sym.getComposition () .getStage () .play () [0]; or sym.getComposition () .getStage () .play ('home');

    This does NOT work, I can't get the symbol.

    Help, please!

    R

    Obliously your symbols are hiding the main timeline. If you put this in your steps, click on events, it will remove the symbols and go to home label.

    I put a square home and hide it when not on the House. Thus, it shows only there.

    sym.getComposition () .getStage () .stop ('home');

    sym.deleteSymbol ();

    So basically, you will need to remove the symbols and recreate them when you need.

    But I could be wrong.

    Here is your file with this correction: I once on home and the other at the opening.

    sym.getComposition () .getStage () .stop ('open');

    sym.deleteSymbol ();

    Now, I'm trying on the click function to show the display symbols on the stage, for example during the click on the first point, the red symbol will appear, so cliked the second element of the (previous symbols which appeared will be hidden) and the new blue symbol will appear.

    Could you help me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Well, if I have understood correctly, you want to check your image index, and the index was 3 or 5 show you a symbol appropriate for this...

    I want to tell you something before I tell you how you can do this:

    data [i] is your index of json files that return data from your json file not a number, and if your json file is something like this:

    [

    {"image": "images/toy - B.jpg",}

    "title": "1st Image."

    'Names': 'toy-B '.

    }

    ]

    (I'm looking for purpose of json that have index 0) means of data [0]

    Well in this address, we have an object, but no data! because it has not itself data say witch we want, so it just return a data unreadable (just object), so if we say

    Image Data [0] (now we have image data and this will return us Images/toy - B.jpg )

    so we cannot simply say that [i] data

    you need to do this way:

    .data s. $("imageholder") ("Great", data [i] .largeimage);

    s. $("imageholder") .data ('myIndex', i); We need another variable to save our index

    s.. Click$ ("imageholder") ("click", Function {}

    sym.getComposition () .getStage ().$("finte").css ({'background-image': "u rl (" + $(this).data('Large') + ")"});

    If ($(this) .data ("myIndex") == 3) {/ / read value right and check}

    sym.getComposi () .getStage ().$("blue").hide () ing;

    sym.getComposition () .getStage ().$("red").show ();

    }

    ElseIf ($(this) .data ("myIndex") == 5) {}

    sym.getComposi () .getStage ().$("red").hide () ing;

    sym.getComposition () .getStage ().$("blue").show ();

    }

    });

    }

    });

  • Dynamically set the order of the symbols on the stage?

    Is it possible to change the order of the symbols on the stage dynamically via the coding?

    While clicking on a button would be a symbol on the back?

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Make subtle tweaks to the similar symbols on the stage

    Let's say I have create a symbol of a stick figure holding a shield.

    Symbol 1: The Stick man

    Side 2: The shield

    Side 3: the Stick man holding the shield.

    Now, how would it be possible to place multiple copies of a symbol on the stage 3 while making subtle tweaks for EACH symbol on the stage 3.

    Is this possible?

    Let's say I want to make each stickman slightly a different color, without each unique stickman taking the same color.

    So I want to side 2 (the shield) a slightly different color in each of the stickman.

    How could I do all of this subtle adjustment without making each symbol instance 1 and 2 on the scene. Is this possible in flash? It seems that flash has so much power, but I still have to figure out how to use it, and I really hope that something like this is possible.

    If I need to explain what I mean, of course I will take the time to do it, but if someone could help me here, that would be much appreciated.

    Here is an example of what I was trying to describe you: http://www.ddg-designs.com/downloads/stick.zip . I have two instances of the same figure on the stage. I put a value of color transformation for the shield of one of these bodies. Shield of the other figure remains unchanged.

    If you double-click any figure given on the stage and then double-click on the shield of this figure and change the color, you change the color of the original symbol, and if all instances of this shield in each figure on the stage will be changed. Leaning on the transformation of color to an individual instance in an instance unique figure on the stage, you are able to change one and not all of the shields.

  • Count the number of symbols on the stage

    It is possible to count the number of symbol on the composition and store it in a variable?

    symbolCount ++;

    Alert (symbolCount);

    Add to the compositionReady, loops through the child symbols and alerts and how they are.

  • Reset button for all the chronologies of symbol on the stage

    I have several slideshows in my animated document, and I have three buttons at the top of the document that a user can click. Each button calls some slide shows (which are symbols) and brings them to animate using sym.getComposition () .getStage ().getSymbol("mySymbol").play. It works fine, but as soon as I click a different button, the symbols that the other button activated keep animating.

    I know that I can reset the timelines for symbols referencing each slide show by name individually, but y at - it an easier way? I have so many symbols!

    Thanks in advance!

    Erik

    You can also use getChildSymbols(), which gives you a table of references of the symbols of your scene.  Here is a brief sample, which uses the same code of sample of the API to animate:

    https://creative.Adobe.com/share/b2c57450-5bc6-41d7-ACF6-8aac9a84456a

    This code would be a bit more generic and would not involve to maintain a list of objects.  Please note that this applies only to symbols that are currently on your scene, dynamically declared or not.

    I hope this helps!

  • How to remove all symbols within a symbol on the stage?

    Hi all

    I have this code located on the close button click:

    var childSymbols = sym.getSymbol("mc_InnerStage").getChildSymbols ();

    Alert (childSymbols.Length);

    for (var i = 0; i < childSymbols.length; i ++) {}

    childSymbols [i] .deleteSymbol ();

    }

    SYM. Stop ("Start");

    which could remove all the symbols inside the symbol (mc_InnerStage), but it does not everyone knows what is wrong with this code? I had alerted the number of children, but it keep giving me 0 any number of symbols in the symbol of the mother there? ! can someone help me please?

    Thanks in advance.

    and I forgot to say that you can remove them by using this line:

    SYM. $(". Name of your class here"). remove();
