Adding a Preloader to a Symbol, not the Stage. How?
I have a local video (not one hosted on YouTube/Vimeo) as part of a Symbol. Since it's a local video and may take a while to load once the button to load it is clicked, I'd like to add a Preloader to either the video itself, or to the Symbol. It's easy enough to do this to the entire Stage, but I just want the Preloader to appear when the Symbol it's in is loaded onto the Stage. How do I do this?
Thanks
Hi,
You can do it using the "poster" attribute: HTML video poster Attribute
I assumed that you have one and only one video and you have a preloader within the images folder, so:
sym.$("video").attr("poster", "images/myPreloader.gif");

How to remove a dynamic symbol from the stage?
I'm loading dynamically copies of a Library symbol with a button click. Question is, when I move around in the timeline, I don't want to see the symbols at certain points. Can I loop through the json file and remove each symbol from the stage? Or is there a better way of accomplishing this?
Being new to Edge Animate, I'm also unsure as to the names of the symbols as they are placed on the stage. If I use the browser's developer tools, I can see that the divs are named Stage_90, Stage_91, Stage_92 etc. However doing something like the following does not seem to work:
sym.$("Stage_90").hide();
I appreciate the help. Thanks again.I got it. It should be:
$("#region1").remove();
// # was missing.
I actually added that to time 0 on the main timeline so when I got back there it removes the image.
It's not working from the symbol yet but I guess I should eventually get it working from there instead.
Thanks for your time. -
How do you remove a symbol from the stage in Edge animate?
Hello-
I'm wondering how to remove a symbol from the stage in Edge Animate so you can jump to another place in the timeline. In Flash, the symbol was only on the stage for the amount of frames you indicated. Not sure how it works here.
For example, I have 2 buttons on my first screen with some text that animates in. I want the button click to take the user to another section in the timeline or (basically another scene, like in Flash) that contains different content. If I change the visibility the buttons are still there and will ( I assume) create problems when other elements are placed on top.
Or is the only way with code. If that is the case what would that code be?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you!What I usually do, is, once you have everything set up in the scene you are done with. highlight it all
right click
group elements in DIV
Now all those items act as 1 group and then you give it a properties name, much like a symbol.
THEN you can refer to that scene name and move it anywhere or hide it and slide in another scene that has the content for that next scene.
basically you take all the elements that make up 1 scene, gruop it up, name it, and then in the code for the button say something like:
on click:
scenename.play(framenumber);
that will then animate that scene according to any animation you gave it, such as moving to the left, off stage. while moving scene 2 that you create into the stage.
or just have something like this hide it
sym.$("scenename").hide();
sym.$("scene2name").show();
but if you do that, make sure in your CompositionReady code you hide all scenes EXCEPT the 1st one, so the user doesnt see them all instanatly anyway. -
JSON content - click to show another symbol on the stage
Hi,
Thanks to Zaxist I have a working code like the one below:
$.getJSON("content.json",
function(data){
for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
var s = sym.createChildSymbol("template","content");
s.$("title").html(data[i].title);
s.$("description").html(data[i].description);
s.$("seira").html(data[i].seira);
s.$("imageholder").css({"background-image":"url('"+data[i]. image+"')"});
s.$("imageholder").data('Large', data[i].largeimage);
s.$("imageholder").click("click", function(e){
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("finte").css({"background-image":"url("+$(this).data('L arge')+")"});
Now, I am trying on the click function to show specific symbol on the stage, for example when click on the first item the symbol red will appear, if cliked the second item the (previous symbols that was appeared will be hided) and the new symbol blue will appear. An so on with all the other ellements that JSON files has.
I tried this on the code, but nothing:
$.getJSON("content.json",
function(data){
for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
var s = sym.createChildSymbol("template","content");
s.$("title").html(data[i].title);
s.$("description").html(data[i].description);
s.$("seira").html(data[i].seira);
s.$("imageholder").css({"background-image":"url('"+data[i]. image+"')"});
s.$("imageholder").data('Large', data[i].largeimage);
s.$("imageholder").click("click", function(e){
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("finte").css({"background-image":"url("+$(this).data('L arge')+")"});
if (data[i]=3) {
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("red").show();
else {
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("red").hide();
if (data[i]=5) {
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("blue").show();
else {
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("blue").hide();
Could you help me?
Thanks in advanced!Zaxist please I need your help again.

var s = sym.getSymbol("podia").createChildSymbol("template", "contentpodia");
s.getSymbolElement().css({"background-size":"contain",
"float": "left"});
s.$("description").html(data[i].description);
s.$("code").html(data[i].code);
s.$("imageholder").css({"background-image":"url('"+data[i]. image+"')",
"background-size":"cover"
s.$("imageholder").data('myIndex', i);
s.$("imageholder").data('Large', data[i].image);
s.$("imageholder").click("click", function(e){
if ($(this).data("myIndex") == 0){
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol('holders').$("holder2").css({"background-image": "url("+$(this).data('Large')+")"});
else if ($(this).data("myIndex") == 1) {
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol('holders').$("holder2").css({"background-image": "url("+$(this).data('Large')+")"});
else if ($(this).data("myIndex") == 2) {
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol('holders').$("holder2").css({"background-image": "url("+$(this).data('Large')+")"});
I want to import symbol podia inside to base to handle it by content2.
I am writing this:
var basewithpodia = sym.getSymbol("base").createChildSymbol("podia", "content2");
it places the symbol inside, without the data of the JSON file.
How can I make it to work? -

Are you sure you are using the Redemption code and not the serial number? See if this page helps:
<Find your serial number quickly>
If it is really a redemption code then you need to redeem it for a proper serial number. See if this helps:

Boot to "no" symbol-- not the hd's fault
My macbook pro running 10.6.4 is set to turn on at 6pm when i get home from work. However I get home from work and the power is out. It stayed out for about 24 hours and when the power came back on my mbp boots to the "no" symbol that from searching others have experienced. I immediately thought hard drive was to blame but still did the usual (pram reset, boot to safemode, repair disk permissions) to no avail. Then i pulled the hard drive and stuck it in an external and it booted right up with my mac mini. So it is not the hd's fault which leaves the question what is??
Other background info:
MBP was running with no battery as i am currently using it as a desktop 24/7 bc the screen broke.
I have a time machine back ups.
Don't have snow leopard disc but do have a leopard disk (which i used for disk utility).
Anyone have a guess?
Thanks!i pulled the hard drive and stuck it in an external and it booted right up with my mac mini. So it is not the hd's fault which leaves the question what is??
MBP was running with no battery as i am currently using it as a desktop 24/7 bc the screen broke.
I think you've got your question and answer right here. What trauma broke the MBP's screen? Whatever it was, I think that something else was damaged as well. I recently dropped a MBP, and it continued working for about a month, then just died out of the blue.
If the machine wouldn't boot from a hard drive that 1) it used to boot from and 2) can still boot a different machine, it's got to be a hardware problem. Call Apple for service. -
Adding an effect to a sound, not the entire track
Hey All, I am looking to simply add a effect to a single sound, not the entire track, is that possible with Logic? I am coming from pro tools, and I know I was able to do that there, I was hoping I could do the same here. Thanks so much!
By add effect, I assume you mean add some delay or reverb one one particular note or word. Several ways to do this. Put the effect plug-in on a bus return, and then automate the send level to come up/down for that one incident.
Another way would be to make a 2nd track (audio or midi), Insert the effect on that track, and cut the phrase or note, and move down to that 2nd track. So the whole track would be dry, and that one word, note, would have the effect on the next track.

How to add a symbol to the stage with a unique click function
I created a symbol in the Library and am loading multiples of it based on json data. However, I want to give each one a unique click function based on the json data. For example if you are the 4th symbol, you should change the color of another symbol when clicked. However, if the 5th symbol is clicked, it should be a different color. And so on.
What I would do:
add a class name for each symbol in your json file or on symbol creation.
Then use each class name and assign it a click event.
to assign a unique id or class to symbol you create use:
for (var i=0;i<data.length;i++){
var el = sym.createChildSymbol("pEl", container);
el.element.attr("id","newEl"+i);
// or for a class use el.element.addclass('className'+i);
Note when using the new id make sure you add # in name
example
sym.$('#pEl'+i).......
and a dot for the class name
sym.$('.className'+i) .............. -
Aligning images/symbols on the stage...
I am assembling a morphing photo display of several photos
which I convert to symbols and vectors giving the illusion of a
water color painting morphing into a crisp image/photo. As I do
this with more images I can see issues where my images are not
centered with the previous one and "hop" to one side or the other.
Is there a grid tool that I can place onto the stage to assist with
this or some other method that I may use to keep things as I see
them in my "vision"?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Ok, my bad.... After completein one task I decide to revisit
the drop downs and low and behold there it was... View>Grid...

My printer receives and prints my e mail but not the attachments. How do I rectify this?
Hi robgpearce,
Your issue could be related to the file type or a setting with the file. In the help section of ePrintCenter.com, it goes into details on how the HP ePrint service does not support printing webpages via email at this time, HP is currently developing dedicated solutions to support webpage printing from mobile devices. Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc) need to be at least 100DPI in order to print via ePrint. PGP encryption, digitally signed documents, macro-enabled spreadsheets and password-protected documents are not supported by ePrint at this time and will not print.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Make subtle adjustments to simlar symbols on the stage
Let's say I create a symbol of a stick figure holding a shield.
Symbol 1: The Stick man
Symbol 2: The Shield
Symbol 3: the Stick man holding the shield.
Now, how would it be possible to place several copies of Symbol 3 on the stage while making subtle adjustments to EACH symbol 3 on the stage.
Is this possible?
Let's say I want to make each stickman slightly a different color without every single stickman taking on the same color.
Then I may want symbol 2 (the shield) to be a slightly different color in each of the stickman.
How could I go about making this subtle of an adjustment without effecting every instance of symbol 1 and 2 on the stage. Is this possible in flash??? It seems that flash has so much power, but I have yet to figure out how to use it all, and I sure hope something like this is possible.
If I need to explain what I mean, I sure will take the time to do this, but if someone could help me out here, that would be hugely appreciated.If you give each symbol instance an instance name, then you can operate on any of the properties of each of those symbols. So, for instance, if you have one instance of symbol 3 on the stage, select it and, in the Properties window, give it an instance name of "figure1". If you then double click on this instance, you can open it in to edit its content. This symbol will contain two symbols. Select each one separately and name each, say "man" and "shield".
Now, every time you bring a copy of the figure from the Library to the stage, it will contain two named symbol instances. If you select this new instance on the stage and name it, you can then address the symbols inside separately from the symbols inside "figure1".
The options for changing the color of any given symbol are limited. One way to go about this is to edit the shield symbol, add a layer, and then add a new symbol that you can use for the color change. -
How can I reinstall itunes without it telling me that I am not the administrator?
The iTunes app on your device is bundled with iOS.
The latest version of iTunes for your PC is 10.7:http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC, and are still having trouble with the device, try this:
1. Connect your device to your computer.
2. Listen for the "new hardware found" beeps.
3. If you do not hear the beeps and if iTunes does not automatically start, try a different USB port.
4. If you still do not hear the beeps and iTunes does not run, try a different charging/docking cable.
5. If that fails, then try connecting your device to a different computer.
6. If this fails, the device is defective.
