Create Symbol=Lose Events

IE-Grouping elements into a symbol causes loss of events.
Not sure if this is a bug but has anyone else noticed this?
The workaround I've found is to to group the elements into a div, but then obviously...
You can try yourself with the lynda tut / chapter 10 /Creating responsive layouts.
http://www.lynda.com/Edge-Animate-tutorials/Edge-Animate-Essential-Training/108880-2.html
I noticed this happening to me when Edge 1st introduced responsive layout, but I thought it was something I was doing wrong...
In the example above the event is being lost on the element not grouped into a symbol.

When you created symbols out of the elements (specifically, putting the Text element in a symbol), the code and events you had previously on the apple image are no longer going to work because that Text element is no longer at the same level as the apple - it's now inside a symbol. In other words, sym.$("Text").html("your text here") can't work because there is no longer a "Text" element there at the Stage level. So the bug, as it is, was in the code used.
When you want to address an element within a symbol, use the getSymbol method to address the symbol, and then address the element within it. I believe your symbol wasn named "chalkboard"? So in that case, your code should be something like this:
sym.getSymbol("chalkboard").$("Text").html("your text here");
The EA Javascript API is your friend:

hth,
Joe
That's what I suspected. A 'targeting level' issue.
I wasn't sure if there was some magic in the js that compesated for not targeting the Text within the symbol.
Same rule applies. Got it.
Obviously I'm not the greatest with code but I'm trying.
The EA Api makes me nauseous.
But I'm trying:-)
Edit
Altho someone might wanna notify the presenter in that Lynda tut because that fact is not mentioned.

  • Get the ID of a dynamically created symbol from library, INSIDE another symbol.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to get the id from a dynamic created symbol from library.
    When dynamically creating the symbol directly on the stage (or composition level), there's no problem.
    But I just can't get it to work when creating the symbol inside another symbol. 
    Below some examples using both "getChildSymbols()" and "aSymbolInstances" 
    // USING "getChildSymbols()" ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
    // ON THE STAGE 
    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");
    var symbolChildren = sym.getChildSymbols(); 
    console.log(symbolChildren[0].getSymbolElement().attr('id')); // ok eid_1391853893203
    // INSIDE ANOTHER SYMBOL
    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement()); 
    var symbolChildren = sym.getSymbol("holder").getChildSymbols(); // Am i using this wrong maybe?
    console.log(symbolChildren.length) // returns 0 so can't get no ID either
    // USING "aSymbolInstances"" ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
    // ON THE STAGE
    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage"); 
    console.log(sym.aSymbolInstances[0]); // ok (i guess) x.fn.x.init[1] 0: div#eid_1391854141436
    // INSIDE ANOTHER SYMBOL
    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());
    console.log(sym.getSymbol("holder").aSymbolInstances[0]); // Javascript error in event handler! Event Type = element 
    In this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5691824 is written: "mySym.aSymbolInstances will give you an array with all "names" when you create symbols"
    Could it be this only works on the stage/ composition level only and not inside a symbol? 
    The following methods to achieve the same are indeed possible, but i simply DON'T want to use them in this case:
    1) Storing a reference of the created symbol in an array and call it later by index.
    2) Giving the items an ID manually on creation and use document.getElementById() afterwards.
    I can't believe this isn't possible. I am probably missing something here.
    Forgive me I am a newbie using Adobe Edge!
    I really hope someone can help me out here.
    Anyway, thnx in advance people!
    Kind Regards,
    Lester.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick response!
    True this is also a possibility. But this method is almost the same of "Giving the items an ID manually on creation and use document.getElementById() afterwards".
    In this way (correct me if i'm wrong) you have to give it an unique ID yourself. In a (very) big project this isn't the most practical way.
    Although I know it is possible.
    Now when Edge creates a symbol dynamically on the Stage (or composition level) or inside another symbol it always gives the symbol an ID like "eid_1391853893203".
    I want to reuse this (unique) ID given by Edge after creation.
    If created on the stage directly you can get this ID very easy. Like this;
    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");
    var symbolChildren = sym.getChildSymbols(); 
    console.log(symbolChildren[0].getSymbolElement().attr('id')); // ok eid_1391853893203
    I want to do exactly the same when created INSIDE another symbol.
    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());
    Now how can I accomplish this? How can I get the Id of a dynamically created symbol INSIDE another symbol instead of created directly on the stage?
    This is what i'm after.
    Thnx in advance!

  • How to get a dynamically created symbol to delete itself on click?

    Here's the setup...
    I want to have a dynamically created symbol appear upon click of a hotspot. In this case, you click on a pulsating hotspot and a popup box appears.
    Here's the code I'm using for that.
    //Create an instance element of a symbol as a child of the given parent element
    var mySymbolObject = sym.createChildSymbol("gardern_toxins_popup","stage");
    So we have the symbol "garden_toxins_popup" from my library placed dynamically on the page. I would like to assign an action to the pop-up itself that allows you to remove the symbol from the stage upon click.
    I feel silly for not being able to figure this out. I tried iterations of this bit of code...
    //Get the stage from the composition level, get the symbol
    sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("garden_toxins_popup").delete();
    ...but it doesn't work.
    So I tried thinking like I was back in Flash and tried the following...
    this.parent.removeChild(this);
    But no joy on that as well. Is there something I haven't addressed in this logic or am I going about it in the wrong way? Thanks!

    Hi, chirpieguy-
    You'll want to use the deleteSymbol() API.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/edgeanimate/api/current/index.html
    BTW, you should use the capitalized "Stage" to add it to the Stage - the lower case stage has a special meaning with Animate and might not give you what you want..
    sym.createChildSymbol("gardentoxins", "Stage");
    In the symbol itself, create a click event on a container div, then:
    sym.deleteSymbol();
    That being said, you don't need to dynamically create and delete an object.  What you can do is to use hide() and show() on an element and use the coordinates of your click to change the CSS value of top/left of this object so that you don't have to do the object management I highlighted above.
    Hope that points you in the right direction.

    I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events.  If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

    From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation

               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  • Can't create new calendar events through Thunderbird

    Hi,
    I have Lightning installed and hooked up to two Google Calendars, one for actual events (both work and personal) and one for things like local holidays and week numbers (this is a read-only calendar Google's put together).
    My issue is that I can't create a new event on my personal calendar through Thunderbird. I can open the "create new event" dialog box no problem, and fill in all the details, but when I hit "Save and Close" nothing happens - the dialog box stays open, and no event is created.
    I can create events in a 'local' calendar (e.g. the blank "Home" calendar that Lightning comes with as a default). I can log into my Google calendar through my browser and create events no problem, but then hitting the "synchronise" button in Thunderbird doesn't make them show up (although syncing the calendar app on my android phone, linked to the same Google Calendar, makes the new events created through the browser show up no problem).
    The only other information I can offer is that on the Calendar tab in Thunderbird, on the left of the screen, there's list of the calendars my Thunderbird/Lightning has installed/synchronised: "Home" (a local calendar, basically empty but functioning), "Luke John's Calendar" (Google Calendar, the one I'm having the problem with), and "Week Numbers" (Read-only Google Calendar, I don't know if it's possible to create new events on because it's read only). Next to both "Luke John's Calendar" and "Week Numbers" are little (error?) symbols: black exclamation marks in yellow triangles, which give the rollover text "The Calendar [name] is momentarily not available."
    Any suggestions for sorting this out? I'd be very grateful!

    Hi Benito,
    What does it mean when a subscribed calendar is corrupted?
    The files iCal uses to store the calendars (.ics files) are text files. (You can look at one by exporting a calendar from iCal and opening the .ics file with a text editor.) When you subscribe to a calendar you are copying the calendar file to your hard drive. If some information is missing in the file, or the data is ordered in the wrong way, this can lead to iCal not functioning properly.
    The error could be on the server or your local copy, from what you write it's hard to tell. You could try subscribing to the problem calendar from another machine to see if it has the same problem.
    The usual recommendation for a local calendar (one you created) with this problem is to export and then import the calendar. This means the calendar is re-created from scratch. You can't use this solution with a calendar you are subscribed.
    I hope this helps.

  • Addressing dynamically created symbols

    I'm not sure what's the best way to address a specific dinamically created symbol because I don't see in Edge's API any way to get the symbol's instance name. The .getSymbol() method would be the easiest way to do it, but it takes the symbol "instance" name and I don't know which one it is. When I use .createChildSymbol() I just pass the symbol "type" name and the parent element name to be put inside but nothing about the symbol instance name that's been created. The .getChildSymbols() method doesn't help much because it retrieves "all" direct children instances found, and I have more than one and of different types.
    I need to get one specific symbol among several I created dinamcally, so how should I do it best?
    I'm thinking about using .getChildSymbols() and loop through them all, get the DOM of each symbol with .getSymbolElement(), then use the "class" attribute to at least identify the different types of children symbols retrieved. I now have a subset of children-brothers (symbols of the same type = class) and I can walk through them. At this point, my only hope to distiguish them is the z-index parameter I passed when I created the symbols using .createChildSymbol().
    One other option would be to "save" the returned handler to each symbol created with .createChildSymbol() in an object like this { symbol: handler, name: "any name", created: "date/time", ... } and save them in an array of objects.
    Any better ideas?

    Hi juicy_life,
    store it into a symbol variable instance that I know will persist (the stage, maybe)
    Looks like a global variable
    It's just annoying you can get a symbol manually added to your edge animation by its "name" using .getSymbol(), but there is not an easy way to use that function with a dinamically created symbol
    May be are you also an AS3 coder used to search through the display list accessing display objetc containers either by index (getChildAt()) or by name (getChildByName()).
    mySym.aSymbolInstances will give you an array with all "names" when you create symbols with .createChildSymbol().
    Thank you for this helpful information. I didn't know about it.
    "name" (ID), something like this: #eid_1379485757227_mySymType
    For a manually instantiated symbol symB, nested in symA, itself instantiated in the Stage Symbol, the fully qualified name (ID) is Stage_symA_symB.
    It's useful to write a global function for the behavior (on click for example) shared by a group of buttons, provided you adopt a naming convention btn1, btn2, etc. Passing the event objet to that function, you can then recover the number of the clicked button via
    evt.target.getAttribute("ID").substr()
    This abstraction avoids duplicating the same code (differing only by the button number) on each button.

  • How do I create a new event entry for a specific calendar?

    In my iMac Calendar app, I have created a few calendars for different functions.    But every time I try to create a new event entry for a specific calendar, the app seems to prefer a different calendar instead by default.   I cannot enter events in other calendars.   Is there a way to do this?   In previous versions, I would highlight the particular calendar I wanted to work with and the entry would go into that calendar.   Thanks!

    You don't.  Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
    When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
    There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
    The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
    Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • How can I create a new event without it automatically being an all-day event?

    When I create a new event in iCal, it automatically creates an all-day event.  (By create, i mean double-clicking in the month view.)  Is there any way to change it back to hourly when you create an event, like in Snow Leopard?  Although this is easy to get around, it's just annoying as I rarely create all day events.

    I was really frustrated by this change in Lion as I prefer to use the month view and I hate the way it defaults to an all day event.  So I was very pleased to find this solution in the Mac OS X Hints.  Simply type "Dinner at 6 pm" and it enters "Dinner" at 6 pm for one hour.  If you want anything other than an hour, put "6 - 8 pm" (or whatever period you want.  Brilliant.  Just wish Apple figured out a way to tell me that without having to search the communities here for an answer.
    Thanks Ferd II.

  • Is there a way to create a multiple event screen saver from iPhoto events?

    Is there a way to create a multiple event screen saver from photos in iphoto?  I can create a single event screen saver, but don't know if it is possible to create a screen saver with more than one event.

    Drag the events you want into an album and have the screen saver run from the album.

  • Why do my events change in the day view, when I create a new event? (iCal for iPad 2)

    You are getting entagled in the two confusing meanings of the term pixels, namely as a unit identical to points and equalling 1/72 inch, and the basic component of raster images (and effects).
    You can read on in this very recent thread:
    Is there a way to get Illustrator to know how many pixels are in an inch?

  • Can't create a new event in iCal

    Odd thing is happening in iCal when creating a new event, clicking on the plus button creates a new calendar and not an event.
    When clicking on the day and from the pop up menue clicking new event I get an error message relating to mail?
    Doesn't happen all the time but very frustrating when in does. Is there a fix?

    Odd thing is happening in iCal when creating a new event, clicking on the plus button creates a new calendar and not an event.
    This is normal. You can create a new event by double-clicking within the day in any of the views (in Day or Week view double-click on the time for the event): select the calendar you want to add to in the sidebar first.

  • How do I create a recurring event for the second Monday of every month?

    I want to create a recurring event. It's an event that occurs the second and fourth monday of every month. I'd be happy to split this into two events if need be. The Custom repeat setting allows me to make the event occur every two Mondays. But some months have 5 weeks, so I need exactly, the second monday of every month.
    (It's a bit annoying that things like this are so hard to do on iCal when MS Outlook does them so easily!!!)

    Hi,
    You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
    Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
    Do the same for the Fourth Monday.
    Best wishes

  • Is there any way to create "symbols" in InD like those in flash or Ai?

    Hi! Does someone know how can I create symbols in ID, for exemple, in Flash or Ai  you can create a simple "symbol" and save it into the "Library" in Flash or "Symbols" in Ai,  so you can use it many times, and if you change the main symbol, all the instances that you used in your artwork change automatically. Maybe one way is to make a symbol in ilustrator, and import it from Id, and if I change the origingal file, all the links change, but, can I do this directly in InDesing?
    Thanks

    They lack the edit and update all instances feature, though. Better to create the item in whatever application is appropriate and place it. Update the original, and you'll be asked if you want to update the links.

    I recently bought a used G5 from a University surplus store. It will read DVD's, but not CD's. Is it possible that the university was able to disable the reading of CD's for use in computer labs? This is what it says when I look under "disk burning"
