Changes inside a symbol won't show up on main timeline

So I'm working on the animation of a character, I've set up a main graphic symbol for the whole character and an individual symbol for each part of the character inside the main symbol like each arm, leg, hands, ect. Whenever I click into a specific object and animate it on its own timeline and leave it to the main timeline, the animation I did doesn't show up on the main timeline, if I go back in, it's working just fine. I figure I could animate on the main timeline solely, but I'd like to do it the right way. What's going on?
Thanks, everyone

You could also select the movieclip on your timeline and then switch it to graphic (play once/ or loop) in the properties panel.
This way you can see what happens inside when moving your playhead along in the main timeline.

Changes made in symbol does not show?

Hi, I recently started working with adjusting a template with flash 8. Everything went smoothly except for one thing. I changed one certain symbol in my libray and when i exported the movie (after changing) i dont see the changes in my website. Other buttons, symbols etc immediatly show there adjustments and this just keeps on remaining the same? Anybody knows what to do with this? Please reply!

Hi,
I tried clearing the cache before. No success. The symbols that does not
seem to change are on the website. I searches the whole library and the
page i want to change i nowhere to be found (except for the symbols that
does not show the changes). I hope to hear from you (and anyone) soon!

Wifi symbol won't show?

I have a 32 Gb 3G+wifi and for some reason my wifi symbol will not show up. I can still connect to it though and my 3G I made sure was turned off so it still works but the symbol won't show up. Right now in the top left it says "iPad" with no symbol next to it. Any suggestions? Thx in advance

Quickest thing to try is restarting the iPad. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until the 'slide to off' appears and slide it off. Then restart.
If that doesn't work you can try a full reset. Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears. Let it reboot.
You could also try resetting the network. Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings.

Symbol to call back on the main timeline with Label?

Hi,
I have a symbol called Panel_1. When it slides out, I have a button inside to call out to Panel_2.
I created Panel_2 on a main timeline (only 1 frame) using a Label called "Label_2".
This code doesn't work with I click.
sym.getComposition().getStage().sym.play("Label_2").play();
Any idea how to fix the code?
Thx.

You need to remove the second sym in the code.

UltraNav driver symbol won't show up in task bar

Hi,
The little ultranav symbol that was normally in the bottom right, where I could disable the trackpoint or the mouse pad, isn't there anymore. That's been the case since the last update, around beginning of May. I re-installed the driver, same problem. What can I do to make it reappear? Would be quite useful to have the ability to turn off the mouse pad.
Thanks for your reply!

My movie symbol not working in main timeline

The symbol works in its own movie timeline, the keyframe length is the same length on both the movie symbol timeline and the main timeline.
But movie symbol refuses to play on the main timeline.
Any ideas?

If it is a movieclip symbol, it doesn't need to have any more than one frame in whatever timeline you place it in to be able to play in its entirety. What controls are you using to make it play? Does the movieclip have any stop() command in its first frame(s)?

How can I change the color of a object inside a symbol?

Hello!
I'm working on this study and I need to change the color of an object inside a symbol when I click another object.
The object is called "bola", wich is inside the symbol "ponto" and the clicking object are the colored pencils (each pencil should change the color of the symbol's object, giving the impression you'd selecting a different pencil to draw).
I think it's simple to understand what I mean when you see the files.
I already tried this line on click event of the pencils, but it didn't work:
sym.getSymbol("ponto").$("bola").css("color","#123456");
Anyone knows how to make that work?
I would like to improve the experience of drawing as well. I made it with the "mousedown" event. Is that a better way to get a similar effect?
My files
Thanks a lot,
Clayton F.

Ok here is another sample:
http://www.meschrene.puremadnessproductions.net/Samples/HELP/LapisB/Lapis.html
http://www.meschrene.puremadnessproductions.net/Samples/HELP/LapisB/Lapis.zip
You need to create a var that changes the css background color..
Hopefully you can understand what I did...
The text I left showing so that you could see it change...
I updated the files and all colors should work now.

Trying to show() and play() a symbol from inside another symbol

Hi Everyone !
I'm running into a problem which is getting me crazy.
I have the following case :
- 1 symbol (_Page_Background) containing an animation with the following trigger @0s :
// Hiding the symbol
sym.getParentSymbol().$("_Page_Background").hide();
// Stop it
sym.stop();
- 1 element (B_TOYS), inside of a symbol (BUTTONS) with the following "click" trigger :
// Showing the _Page_Background symbol
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("_Page_Background").show();
// Start playing it
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("_Page_Background").play("INTRO");
The Symbol _Page_Background starts hidden, like it should. But when I click on the button (B_TOYS), nothing happens. Although, everything was working correctly before I turned my buttons into symbols ..
I guess the problems lies with the "show()" function, because I have other buttons that work properly but they don't show/hide anything, they just play()
Am I missing something ?!
Thanks in advance for your kind help !

Hi Dimitri,
Think of symbols as independent timelines that can contain other elements, or instances of other symbols. The Stage/main timeline is a symbol as well. Scripting calls are scoped to the symbol that the script is in. The keyword sym stands for the symbol that you're in with the script.
So if your script is at the same level as what you are targeting with it:
Use sym.$("elementName") to access an element's properties
Use sym.getSymbol("symbolName") to access a symbol's timeline. If there's another symbol inside that symbol that you want to access, you'd use sym.getSymbol("symbolName").getSymbol("childSymbolName")...that's only two levels deep, but you can go as deep as needs be.
If you're trying to access an element in a symbol, you'd combine these two, such as sym.getSymbol("symbolName").$("elementName")
When your script is within a symbol and you want to access an element or symbol outside of the symbol timeline:
Use sym.getParent() to get to any elements that are in the parent symbol (the symbol which contains the symbol you're calling from), which could be the Stage or could be another parent symbol
Use sym.getComposition().getStage() from any symbol level to access things at the main Stage level. You can also dive into a symbol on the Stage from any symbol using sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("symbolName").
All is explained in detail here:

Howdy carpetjim,
When you change the folder location like that, it changes where new songs and media are stored. To actually load the library you need to do this:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of the following screens:
Additional information
If you do not see one of the screens above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.

The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
"but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
"but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.
