Why won't rich symbol properties show when the .jsf file exists?

In FW CS4 I've created a rich symbol via the "create symbol script" command, then I reloaded my common library, and put the symbol from common librray on a page.  Even though I have a .jsf file in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Common Library\Custom Symbols to match my symbol, there are no symbol properties available for it on my page.
I can use the create symbol script command again on this symbol & it comes up with the same properties I had already defined.
What would stop symbol properties from showing up when the symbol is taken from a recently reloaded Common Library & placed on a page?
I've discovered that I can see the properties when I use this symbol in a totally brand new Fireworks file, but I can't in an existing file that ever had that same symbol before, even when I tell FW to "Replace the existing item."
Below is my jsf file contents.
Thanks!

Solution Found:  I had to explicitly delete the existing copy in my orginal FW file even though when I used the one from the common library I told it to "Replace the existing item"  I guess the replace doesn't really work for rich symbols.  After I deleted the symbol with the same name from the document library & pulled in the one from Common Library, it showed its rich symbol properties.

  • Why won't menus work or show when web DVD is uploaded to Revel ?

    I need to be able to upload  and share privately a web DVD with functionl menu system. I have created several for test and tried to upload to different hosts including Adobe Revel, the video upload will play, but does not show a menu. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for the reply.
    If you get a chance, could you post a link to one of those web tutorials relating to webDVD and its applications. Did it actually suggest
    that Adobe Revel would support webDVD?
    I have had my issues with Adobe Revel even taking webDVD out of the equation.

    I have not revisited the topic since October 2013 and Premiere Elements 12.
    I will keep watch for webDVD and Premiere Elements. Since webDVD is one of the features removed from Premiere Elements 13 and photoshop.com has not been around for a long time for sharing it, I am not sure how that will affect interest in the feature moving forward.

  • Why won't FCX use all cores when exporting a file?

    Hi folks,
    Latest version of FCX and Lion.
    I'm trying to export 7 'projects' (or sequences) for archiving then processing for DVD.
    Compressor still busts my kahonies so I'm not using it.  I'm using Bitvice (far better compression as well).
    Anyhoo, when I Share - export media and choose the file, click ok etc..., the file starts.
    But my cores are barely operational. It's quite ridiculous.   A 1 hour 22 minute ProRes file to 720x480 16:9 widescreen is taking near 23 minutes.
    That doesn't seem right. I shouldn't have to beg this software to rip all 24 cores to their max (I have a 12 core 2.66 with 32 GB Ram).
    I've been on so many "how-to's" over the year, that my head is spinning so can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong.
    It sure seems like a simple thing.
    Cheers,
    Keebler

    Thanks WG.
    Of all things Apple that I've used and owned, I've never been able to get Compressor to go full force.  Well, I should say with ease and consistency. There have been a few moments of sparkling hope  lol
    Latest was a long series and tests with Apple FCP team. They recommended a complete rewipe and only installation of Compressor 4 and FCX without installing FCS3. Sounds like something was messed up with QMaster along the way.  But that's another story.
    You are right about these - already rendered and FCX probably needs to re-render as it outputs. 
    My irk is that my cores just aren't being used - I'm exporting a file right now and my CPU usage shows
    <GULP>   95.57'ish % IDLE! 
    cheers,

  • Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

    Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

    Hi Ruth:
    Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
    This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
    I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
    always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
    several months ago.  Is there a setting I can adjust?
    Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
    without being diverted to voice mail.
    Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
    Thanks.

  • Why won't my Embedded forms show up at all?

    I've followed directions exactly on how to embed forms to my website. I'm using iWeb and pasting the code into HTML snippet widgets. I've built a few website before using this procedure, and Adobe Forms worked great in the past. Recenly, I've updated a website and created new pages.  Is there something I have missed? Did Adobe change protocol? Is there something wrong with my account? Is there additional code needed? The form dispays in my website editor, however: Why won't my embedded forms show up at all in any browser,(IE, Safari, Firefox, or Chrome) whether the browser is pulling files from a local folder, or from a hosted server?

    Hi,
    Will you be able to provide the link to your web page? you can either paste it here or you can send it to [email protected]

  • TS4062 Why won't my outlook calendar show data from my iPhone calendar after synching.

    Why won't my outlook calendar show data from my iPhone calendar after synching?

    I have the same problem - between the issue I had with restoring after the upgrade (Error -48), the duplicate entries I now get between my Outlook appointments and iCloud, and the inability to have Events added from the iPhone sync to Outlook, I'm surprised there hasn't been more outcry about 5.0x! Not to mention the battery problem, which I HOPE they ironed out.

    Why am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?

    I'm experiencing something similar. My conversations are kept together but if the screen is opened to a conversation and I receive a text from that person it doesn't show up on the screen. The message alert in the upper corner indicates a new text but I have to back out of the screen and go back in to read it.

    In Elements 12, how do I get thumbnails to show when opening a file?

    When in iPhoto (photos, library, an album, whatever, etc.) and I try to position the thumbnails at the top of the page I am unable to do so. In the "View" menu of iPhoto, then "Thumbnails" at the bottom, then all the items in the menu are grayed out. I have tried to go to iPhoto prefences and try there, but no luck. I get the beachball turning for a few minutes, then it stops, but still no luck.
    I have iPhoto 08, OS 10.5.8, anda PowerBook G4, 17"
