Convert to symbol -- insert AS

Hi,
I'm totally new to flash and I have a question about converting images to symbols (movieclip):
First I import the image, then select it with the selection tool, and hit F8 to convert it to a symbol (movieclip). But when I want to add actionscript to this symbol, I cant see it when i go to actionscript window (F9). Isn't the newly created symbol supposed to appear under Scene1? What basic step am I missing?

What you mean you can't see it? You mean the Actions Panel is covering the whole monitor? Can you attach a screenshot and point what you can't see The newly created symbol should be under Scene1.

  • Problem converting £ and € symbols

    Following conversion of a database to al32utf8 I noticed problems with converted currency symbols. This is a sample test I ran to reproduce:
    1. Set the code page to 1252 as this is how the data was inserted in the win1252 database and create test data

    Same result, and matches what the DMU did
    I get similar results with Euro symbols, they are converted to multiple multibyte characters
    I can fix the data by running a replace, but what is happening? The data in most cases was added by running a script in sql plus, though some could have been via application tools.

    The behavior from your testcase is expected.
    sql> create table bc_test
      2  as select '£ 1' col1
      3           ,'£'   col2
      4     from    dual;
    When run in a WE8MSWIN1252 database, this is effectively creating a table with 2 columns of 3 bytes and 1 byte in length.
    sql> update bc_test
      2  set    col1 = sys_op_csconv(col1,'AL32UTF8','WE8MSWIN1252');
    When you update the column by converting its value from WE8MSWIN1252 to AL32UTF8, the 8-bit currency symbol expands in size which causes the converted value to be truncated to the column limit.
    sql> exec check_col1
    input: "£ "
    pos  chr  ascii
      1      \00C2
      2   £   \00A3
      3
    Here you're seeing the truncated conversion result due to the column size limit (3 bytes). The Pound sign is 0xC2A3 in AL32UTF8.
    The DMU scan will detect size expansion over limit issues and block the conversion in such cases.

  • Problem With Convert to symbol

    I am having a stupid problem with the convert to symbol
    function in Flash 8 pro. When I import to library and then convert
    my first symbol, everything works fine. But then when I try to
    convert another piece of art to a symbol, it becomes the same
    symbol as before. so i can only convert 1 symbol. This just started
    happening. I'm converting to graphic symbols, and I have even
    uninstalled and reinstalled. Has anyone else had this
    problem?

    if you are trying to convert a symbol from a frame that
    applied motion tweening, & the option "Sync" is
    selected...

  • Recipients of my email have been getting a bunch of scrambled code, letters and symbols, inserted into the body of my email - preceded by "span.IP". How to fix?

    Some recipients of my emails have been getting a bunch of code, letters and symbols, inserted into the email preceded by "span.IP". What is causing this and how can I fix it? Also (may be related) when i start up Thunderbird, I get the following error message:
    Secure connection failed
    live.mozillamessaging.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
    This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
    If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
    Or you can add an exception…

    Browser Safeguard apparently attempts to intercept your secure connection to the server, so just uninstall it. Reboot your computer, and run a malware check.
    It's also possible that it issued certificates for secure sites you visit. Those self signed certs could then be used by IE, so you should get rid of them as well.
    In IE under Internet Options - Content tab click on Certificates. It opens to the Personal tab. Look for certificates issued by DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot. Those are the ones created by Browser Safeguard.
    Both, Thunderbird and Firefox use their own certificate store independent from the Windows certificate store. So they should not be affected by those certs.
    For the future watch out for additional software being sneaked in when installing a program.

  • Help with Convert to Symbol

    I'm trying to link a flash page to another flash page. I'm following the instructions given to me and it has worked up until now.
    I convert the text to symbol>select button, then I go to actions, type in the filename.swf and add the level in the script assist.
    The link is on a seperate layer, and I can't think of any reason why when I ctrl+enter to see it, the text hasn't changed to a button.
    Any ideas or tips for what I'm missing or not doing quite right would be appreciated. Thanks, and I'm using CS3.

    right click on your text, click convert to symbol, tick button (if that's the symbol type you want) and click ok.  test.  your text should respond to the mouse.
    to code for a mouse handler, click on your text button, in the properties panel give your text button and instance name, say textBtn and in the actions panel type:
    textBtn.onRelease=function(){
    loadMovieNum("theswfyouwanttoload.swf",1);

  • All import convert to symbol ??

    Is it best practice when importing, jpg and png to first
    import to stage then convert to symbol (MC) then delete and now you

    Huh? Why would you delete anything once you imported it into
    the library? If you import an image then convert it to a movie
    clip, you can't delete the imported image or else you will delete
    what's in that movie clip. Like Urami said, I would only convert to
    a symbol if you need to apply actionscript to it or need to tween
    it.

  • Convert to symbol trouble

    Hi, I am having trouble understanding the "Convert to symbol" instruction when I have already converted to symbol.  I have drawn a stick figure, minus a leg, and modified to symbol.  Within the symbol I have created another layer and called it "leg" and convert to symbol.  From this symbol I want to create a motion tween, but it says convert to symbol.  Is this to do with the fact that you can't motiontween something that looks like a line (leg)?  It seems to make no difference if I click on or off the grey/black surround to the circle in the tool bar. (vectors?)
    Thanks Georgia

    Hi,
    A symbol can have another symbol inside its definition(nested symbol) and motion tween requires your current selection to be a movie clip symbol in order to apply a motion tween on it. If your current selection is not a movie clip symbol(you can view what is your current selection is in Properties panel) then it asks you to convert the current selection to movie clip symbol irrespective of whether you are already inside an another symbol or not.
    Thanks!

  • How to undo "convert to symbol"?

    Hey Guys,
    First I have to say this community is really good. You have helped me
    many times. Now, I have a question.
    How can i undo "convert to symbol" without the normal "Undo"-button under "edit"- button
    because I don`t want to undo everything since 3 days.
    Hope you know what I mean and i`m sorry for my bad english.
    Thanks.

    Unfornately there is no undo (or as other Adobe applications, call it, 'Break Apart') 'Symbol' command, though it would make for a great request.
    The best option, at the moment, is to
    - Enter Edit in Place for that particular Symbol;
    - Edit > Slect All;
    - Edit > Copy;
    - Exit Symbol In-Place mode;
    - Then on your Stage, Edit > Paste Special > Paste All
    Even then it will not be perfect because if your Symbol timeline has Triggers and Labels, the above process will not be copied/pasted. They will have to done separately.

  • Convert to symbol corrupted

    hello, I have a simple motion tweened layer.
    I convert it to a symbol, however when I do this, the tween
    is corrupted.
    Why is this happening only when I convert to symbol ?
    thanks kindly for any help

    select all frames/layers.
    right click over them and select "copy frames".
    Create a new symbol in the library - select frame 1 and right
    click - "paste frames".
    Drag symbol to stage on new layer and delete original layers.

  • Cannot Select All  Modify Convert to Symbol (F8)

    Hello,
    I am a beginner and I have made an animation that consists of  4 Movie-Clip symbols (3 have motion tweens). I created it as a place holder for an upcoming website that I am designing. I am trying to select all 4 layers on my stage and convert everything into a single movie clip. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
    I would really be happy if someone could give some tips on how to fix this.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for responding. I followed your instructions. I first Inserted a Symbol of type Movie Clip > Then selected  all frames from Scene 1 > Copy Frames >  Went to my new movie clip > Selected the first and only frame in the 1st and only layer > Right click > Paste Frames.
    All this did was copy every layer in its entirety into my new movie clip. If you look where the little red man is pointed , that's the target frame, but it's empty. You'll notice that even my guides came over from the copy.
    What am I doing wrong?
    The frames that I am copying are on the stage of Scene1. Is this normally how it's done?

  • Objects converted to symbols not showing up in workspace CS4

    Has anyone have this problem?  It's extremely problematic when you're trying to design something.  It plays fine when tested, but you cant see anything that's converted to a graphic, button, or movie clip.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting, etc... Any other advice?
    Also, I got an error message about the classic view not loading correctly, and everything's been goofy since.  I still can't edit anything in classic view.

    I found the answer to this on a previous post by someone else, but am unable to find it again.  Will someone please help me find a posting with a similar topic?  My symbols keep disappearing, but it works fine when I preview it. 
    If you need additional information, please let me know.
    Thanks!

  • Import Manager - Convert Degree Symbol in XML

    We have a situation whereby in our XML file we use the following code °  to convert to a degree symbol.  So, in our XML file it would read 45°
    When I import this in Import Manager I get this: 45° Street Elbows
                            In our Taxonomy we have this: 45º Street Elbows
    So, when I Automap there's no matching because the symbols don't match.  If you notice carefully, the degree symbols are different.
    Does anyone have any suggestions that we can try so the symbols match?
    regards,
    Orlando

    if you use utf-8 simply but the real character into the data.
    named character entities such as
    °
    has to be declared in your dtd.
    with character entities such as
    ° or °
    are working fine.

  • greater than symbol inserted at bottom of php pages in all pages

    I've coded for years and never seen this.  At the bottom of all of my pages, no matter what I do, the following gets added in
    "<html>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"  obviously these symbols show up and make all my webpages look awful.  I delete, save, and upload, and in less than ten minutes, they are there and on my website too.  What is happening?????

    Hi
    Does this appear when you preview your local copy, (you do have a local copy, and are not working directly with your servers copy)?
    If your local copy is O/K, then it may be that your server has been infected with a virus, and this is inserting the code. A virus that added code similar to that you are describing, has been floating around the web for years now.
    If your local copy has the problem then check your computer for viruses.

  • Getting random LCK_M_SCH_M on convert and bulk insert task

    I starting getting random LCK_M_SCH_M locks with huge wait time, which hung my etl proccess.

    What could be causing the lock?
