How do I keep an object/symbol populated once clicked?

I have a tree with 8 branches. Each branch has a button that will trigger the blooming of several leaves. Each leaf will be a button. What I am wanting to do is to keep the leaves populated once they are triggered. I am fairly new to Flash so I'm not even sure if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you create an object and add it to the display using actionscript, it will remain in the display until removed using actionscript.
if you create an object on a main timeline keyframe in a layer, it will remain as long as there's no keyframe change in that layer and no actionscript changing it and no other object covering it.

  • CS4: How can I keep a scaled Symbol from returning to 100% when I edit it?

    I have several instances of a symbol on my artboard. Each of these instances have different scales/sizes. I'm trying to edit one of the larger instances by double-clicking it and entering isolation mode, so that I can make some minor adjustments to the positioning of the objects and paths within that symbol so that it's not covering my other content. However, as soon as I do this, the symbol "shrinks" back down to its small original size... which makes it almost impossible to judge what the symbol will look like, because as soon as I exit isolation mode, it'll return to the larger size and then visually I can see if I guessed right.
    Example, I have a "TREES" symbol. Within the TREES symbol, there are 3 individual tree shapes. I want to move the right tree a little farther right, but not too far right, because it'll cover some other content. However, as soon as I double-click the TREES symbol to edit it, the symbol shrinks so now, I can't really tell how far I need to more the right tree. Is there a preference, or a method of creating a symbol to keep it from doing this when I try and edit it?
    Also, I noticed, in the above example, as I move the tree to the right, when I exit isolation mode, it appears that the entire symbol has changed position... so now the other trees aren't in the same place (visually) that they were before. It seems as though Illustrator has centered ALL the trees in the symbol, instead of leaving the left 2 trees alone and just moving the right tree farther right. (Completely opposite of the way Flash edits symbols) Is there a way to keep this from happening as well?
    Thanks!

    If I convert (break) the symbol instance into a normal group, then any changes I make to that instance will not be reflected in the other instances that have been placed in different areas of the artboard.

  • How do I keep an object shown for the rest of the project in its position?

    This sounds like a question for Lilybiri. I have a object that I want shown for the rest of the project ...
    On this slide, the object I want shown (big black rectangle) for the rest of the project is in the right position in the timeline and it covers the master background as it should. As you see, the only things (correctly) covering it are the blue video and the click to continue button.  In run time, however, it's a different story  -- the widget is suddenly visible over the object as well as the background from the master slide (but not the main master.)
    Can anyone help me out?

    The stacking order is not working for objects timed for the rest of the project. You have only two choices:
    if you don't check the option 'always on top' it will be always at the bottom
    if you check that option, it will always be on top.

  • How can I animate an object when it is clicked on like a hyperlink?

    I'm creating a game for teaching purposes. Imagine Family Feud. Six boxes on a slide. Under each box is an answer. Clicking on any box makes it go away and reveals the answer. Since it is impossible to know the order of the selections, I can't hyperlink to a new slide. Animations only seem to be triggered by "mouse click" or "with previous" which does not allow individual selection and random order. Powerpoint for Windows had a "triggers" feature which allowed objects to animate individually when selected. Is there something in Keynote that would do this?

    Welcome to the forums!
    Keynote is not designed to do non-linear multimedia -- it is just a presentation application, intended for linear slide-by-slide shows. Unfortunately it does not have a feature similar to PowerPoint's triggers.

  • Help!! How do you keep objects in the same order in a 20 page doc when inserting a new object?

    I am creating a catalog of pictures only, as objects.
    They are organized alphabetically, 4 images per page as a 2x2 grid, for 20 pages.
    I want to insert a NEW object (image) in the middle of these 20 pages, and want all the objects after it to shift over one spot to make room.
    How do I get the objects after the inserted ones to shift, as text would if you inserted more text in the middle of a paragraph?
    I can't figure out how do do that (without just putting the images in a text box and in-line, but then I lose all the spacing controls)...
    Thank you!
    Lawrence

    ID ships with a free Image Catalog script in the sample scripts. You don't need to buy one.
    And that isn't going to do what you want, exactly. You'd have to re-run the script each time you add an image to make a new file, and you don't get to set the sort order yourself.

  • How to alter instances of animated symbols

    I am stumped as to how to use an animated symbol repeatedly in a timeline while being able to alter its visual qualities without breaking the animation motion.
    I make a simple 3-layer animation of a body with two legs doing a walk cycle in place.
    I convert the completed animation as a new graphic symbol in the library.
    I can then drag copies of that animated symbol to different timeline layers and alter their overall scales or give them each additional motions with a motion tween so various versions of it can move across the stage independently with tweens while keeping the walk cycle movements of the symbol.
    So far so good, but...
    I can change the colour properties of the added symbols but this only affects the whole image, so if the object had a body and legs in different colours, altering the properties changes all of the body parts to the same colour. Doing this does preserve the walk cycle motion, but the new object looks crude because it has become all one colour.
    If I break the symbol apart, I can then alter the visual properties of the components individually, but then it loses its animation motion.
    Whether I just group it again or convert it to a new symbol, it has lost the animation motion (the walk cycle of the legs) of the original.
    I can't figure out how to make such an animated symbol so that I can reuse it in the timeline while changing its visual properties (so it looks like a different character in the story) and yet keep its original animation motion.
    I have tried to duplicate the symbol and to copy and paste the motion but nothing seems to work.
    Can anyone please advise on what I may be doing wrong or if this even possible in Flash CS3?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi Luis
    I suggest you could create each part of the body and legs as separate MovieClips (which converting to a symbol choose "Movie Clip" instead of "Grpahic0 and then form the whole body with these pieces.
    Now you could group all of the separate pieces in to a single MovieClip by choosing all of them and converting to a "Movie Clip" symbol.
    This way you could change the properties of each of the parts.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to Use Transient View Objects to Store Session-level Global Variables

    hi
    Please consider section "40.8.5 How to Use Transient View Objects to Store Session-level Global Variables"
    at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcstatemgmt.htm#ADFFD19610
    Based on this documentation I created the example application
    at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.01.zip
    It behaves as show in the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/qDvSQCgpvYdd
    Its Application Module has a Transient View Object instance "MyEmployeesContextVOVI", as master for the child View Object instance "EmpInCtxJobVI".
    On rollback the Transient View Object instance keeps its row and attribute values.
    Also when passivation and activation is forced (using jbo.ampool.doampooling=false ) the Transient View Object instance seems to keep its row and attribute values.
    questions:
    - (q1) Why does the expression #{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.transactionDirty} evaluate as true when a Transient View Object instance attribute value is changed (as shown in screencast at http://screencast.com/t/qDvSQCgpvYdd )?
    - (q2) What would be a robust approach to make a Transient View Object instance more self-contained, and manage itself to have only one single row (per instance) at all times (and as such removing the dependency on the Application Module prepareSession() as documented in "5. Create an empty row in the view object when a new user begins using the application module.")?
    many thanks
    Jan Vervecken

    Thanks for your reply Frank.
    q1) Does sample 90 help ? http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/
    Yes, the sample from Steve Muench does help, "90. Avoiding Dirtying the ADF Model Transaction When Transient Attributes are Set [10.1.3] "
    at http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#90
    It does point out a difference in marking transactions dirty by different layers of the framework, "... When any attribute's value is changed through an ADFM binding, the ADFM-layer transaction is marked as dirty. ...".
    This can be illustrate with a small change in the example application
    at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.02.zip
    It now shows the result of both these expressions on the page ...
    #{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.transactionDirty}
    #{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.dataProvider.transaction.dirty}... where one can be true and the other false respectively.
    See also the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/k8vgNqdKgD
    Similar to the sample from Steve Muench, another modification to the example application introduces MyCustomADFBCDataControl
    at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.03.zip
    public class MyCustomADFBCDataControl
      extends JUApplication
      @Override
      public void setTransactionModified()
        ApplicationModule vApplicationModule = (ApplicationModule)getDataProvider();
        Transaction vTransaction = vApplicationModule.getTransaction();
        if (vTransaction.isDirty())
          super.setTransactionModified();
    }Resulting in what seems to be more consistent/expected transaction (dirty) information,
    see also the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/756yCs1L1
    Any feedback on why the ADF Model layer is so eager to mark a transaction dirty is always welcome.
    Currently, question (q2) remains.

  • How do you select an object that is directly under another object?

    How do you select an object that is directly under another object?
    I was working from a template and I wanted to make a text box the same size as a column box that was put there in order to keep the text in the confines of the paper that is was being printed to.
    I could actually put text in each column fine but I wanted it to be in a text box so that I could slightly tilt the test box to compensate for my printer feeding it in slightly wrong. I accomplished this on another template but I could not on this one. If I was working in InDesign or something I know I could just select that layer but I'm at a loss of what to do here. How do I select a column right under a text box? I just thought of something. Once I make the text boxes the same size as the columns I think I can just delete the columns from the inspector. But that would be kind of a work around. I know you can hold down command when nothing is selected from outside the document and then highlight but this is not working. Does anyone have some tips and tricks when it comes to having control over which objects you are selecting when it comes to objects that are overlapped as well as directly over each other.
    Thanks.
    Tim

    I'm not sure it's documented any where, but it's not too difficult. First, ⌘-click outside of the layout area to enter object mode then drag the cursor towards the two objects until you see the handles. Now, again ⌘-click on the top object to deselect it. You can now move the underlying object to the front to edit, delete, etc.
    After typing this, it dawned on me, why not just click the top object to select it & move it to the back? I've only done the other way a bazillion times & now I think of this.

  • How to move the anchor object in indesign cs2 using js?

    i can able to move the normal textframe and other objects but cant do this for anchor objects.
    syntex:  anchorobject.move([x value,y value],undefined,true)
    how to move the anchor objects?
    thanks
    subha

    Could it be that the anchord object in question won't move because you have it set to keep within margins which is preventing the move you're requesting? I've certainly run into that.
    I've also run into the situation where the object model thinks the anchored object is in one place when it is actually in another because of that same keep within margins option. In this case, a move will apparently not work because the move is invisible, it being completely outside of the margins -- although that only applies to relative moves, I think.

  • How can I pass an object to a function by value?

    How can I pass this object by value and keep my original data unbroken?How you approach it is likely to depend on how much control you have over the code in question. If it's legacy code and has been badly designed, there's probably very little you can do to protect existing code short of a complete refactoring.
    What you could do as an interim measure is:
    1. Create an immutable wrapper to your existing mutable class.
    2. Create new methods that replicate the existing ones, but take the immutable class instead.
    3. Deprecate the old methods.
    This won't break client code, but they will now get warnings when they compile and you can add documentation to point them to the new class/methods.
    If you are in control of the code (especially if you're still in the design stages), you've got several options:
    1. As Dr.Clap says, make your class immutable (probably best).
    2. If this isn't possible, create mutable and immutable variants of your class. This is often best achieved by hanging them both from an interface.

  • How to generate an SE63 object list in batch periodically ?

    Dear experts,
    we translate program and DDIC-texts of our add-ons continiously to english and
    french, in order to keep up translations with the ongoing development we create
    the necessary SE63-object list once a week. Since this process is creating
    several background-jobs dynamically it is not possible to mark this inital job as
    to be repeated periodically. I do understand that but I don't know why there
    seems to be absolutely no way to get this done automatically once a week.
    Here is what I have already tried in vain in order to achieve this:
    - a report performing a CALL TRANSACTION on transaction SE63/SLW3
    - an eCATT-script including a TCD-Script on transaction SLW3
      (the script works fine if it is started directly, but the only FM that I have found
       to start a script with in batch ( 'ECATT_EXECUTE' ) does not do it, but comes
       back with a returncode zero, as if it did.
    - and I even tried to start the above mentioned eCATT-script by a report doing
      a CALL TRANSACTION on transaction SECATT providing the necessary
      field settings for the initial and following popup start screen.
    Nothing seems to work. The SAP notes on this topic are as useful as the
    SAP documentation on the subject "object list" (forget about it).
    Who has some experience with this issue respectively ideas for my problem?
    How can I generate an object list for translation once a week automatically in
    background?
    Thanks in advance
    Andreas

    Hi Lorant,
    attached you'll find a download of the ABAP which is to be used as a job step
    and an XML-Download of the eCATT-testscript, that processes the generation of a new object list in SE63.
    As both developing objects were in our companys namespace ("/HOAG/") which you cannot use, I made a copy in the z-namespace first, from which I have removed a couple of specialties that are certainly of no value for you at all, before I downloaded them for you.
    You need to give the script a name in your namespace or in the Z-namespace and then you have to adapt the scripts name in the BDCDATA generation procedure in the ABAP program appropriately.
    It may be possible that the eCATT-script doesn't run properly on your system. This is due to the fact, that the sequences of dynpros and fields contained in the dynpros differ a little in all of our 4 SAP development systems that we decided to be translation relevant, This is also the reason why I recorded individual eCATT-scripts for each one of them. It may be possible that you need to record your "own" system compliant script.
    An example: the popup screen with the print parameters can be personalized and may therefore look differently for every user in every system.
    This is also a good reason why the background job should be scheduled and performed under the name of the same user who recorded the eCATT script before!
    And just one last remark: The returncode of the job only gives you an information about wether or not the eCATT script has been executed properly but you do not know if the chain of jobs usually created by the SE63 objectlist creation functionality have been executed completely. The "system" that we set up for the automated objectlist creation is completed by a third ABAP program which is also scheduled daily as a background job. It is started about an hour after the the object list creation should be through and it verifies if the standard SAP jobs (the names of which are beginning with something like "OBJL") ran completely that day and that they are in the status "finished". If this is not the case, our "objectlist verification ABAP" sends a couple of SAP express mails to a certain selection of key users who are supposed to take a look at the system). This all works pretty well in combination!
    If you (or the person that you are going to give this task to) know enough of the german language to read it, you won't have any problem with adapting this to your needs because you'll find everything neatly commented in the source code.
    regards

  • How do I keep a custom letterhead on the first page in Pages 5

    How do I keep a custom letterhead on the first page in pages 5.  I made a custom template using text boxes and when the first page is full, the letterhead moves to the second page and disappears from the first page.  How can I keep it on the first page and not moving to the second page.
    hank

    Hi Hank,
    Text Box at the top of Page 1.
    Select the Text Box and
    Format Panel > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page
    That will stop it moving (flowing) with the text.
    Top of Page 2
    Another way is to put your letterhead in the Page Header of Page 1. Insert a Section Break at the bottom of Page 1 (Click where you want the Section Break and
    Menu > Insert > Section Break).
    Click in Section 2, and
    Document Panel > Section > Headers & Footers > untick Match previous section
    Page 1 with letterhead in the Page Header

  • How do I keep track of dialog boxes?

    If I have a three question test, How do I keep track of the answers?

    OK a bit of sanity.
    you have a 3 question test.
    presumably you have a 3 element array of questions (Strings?)
    String[] questions = {"What is 1 + 1","What is 2 + 2","What is 3 + 3"};
    in a loop you ask each question, then get the response to each.
    String answer = .....readLine();
    if you change this to an object
    class Question
      String question;
      String answer;
      public Question (String q){question = q;}
    }then your array looks like this
    Question[] questions = {new Question("What is 1 + 1"), etc
    so now the display of the question changes from
    System.out.print(questions[x]);
    to
    System.out.print(questions[x].question);
    likewise for the answer
    from
    String answer = .....readLine();
    to
    questions[x].answer = .....readLine();
    now, in your Question array, each 'question' stores the answer received
