How do I replace a graphic symbol that contains text ... ?

How do I replace a graphic symbol ? It is actually made up of 3 layers including a textbox and bullet. When I double click on the symbol, I get the Text Properties menu.
When I single click on the symbol on the stage, the properties menu shows a Swap button. When I choose the correct symbol and click OK, it looks like it worked but it still shows the original symbol name (Instance of it) on this Properties menu.
Another issue is that when I change one of the symbols (by double clicking on the symbol and then double clicking on the text layer), it does change the text on that layer. However, then it changes the text on the other symbol as well even though they are different symbols.
Note that I can edit the original symbol and the new one. Both symbols are different. In other words, they each show the different text (which is what I want). It's like the original symbol is attached/embedded and cannot be changed.
Background on this issue: Rather than create a brand-new layer, I copied all the frames in a layer to a new layer because it has a motion tween on it. I only need to change the symbol that is in the motion tween. This is the only action/event happening on both layers.
This should be so easy... I have read many Q&As on this Forum and the Adobe Flash Help trying to figure this out. Thank you for your help.

It sounds like you have two symbols sharing another symbol. Since you mentioned "original" it would seem to be a case of duplication. Try creating each symbol separately without using one as a starting point for the other... or delete the part that changes for both in each instance and replace it separately in each instance with a new one.

You'll have to do that manually, i.e. export each album of photos to a folder with the same name located on your hard drive via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option.

How do I play a graphic symbol backwwards?

Hi, I'm a flash character animator for television in NYC.
I often have to reuse animation that's in a symbol. Many
times I have to play this animation backwards, but doing so
requires me to keyframe it.
All the symbols we use are graphic symbols.
Does anyone know a script, plug-in or anything that would let
me play a graphic symbol backwards so i don't have to keyframe it
but do it automatically?

you cant script graphic, its not valid instance for action
control, secondly actions
are not exportable to video as upon export it become images
sequence.
You need to copy paste and reverse frames if you want some
parts to play backward.
basically extend the timeline. Manually...

How to I make a "Package" folder that contains my app?

I am not a developer, but I'm hoping someone here will know how to do what I'm asking.
I am creating a VERY simple Filemaker runtime app. It consists of an .app file (which is a package), some extensions, a .usr file, and an aknowledgements PDF.
I'd like to place all of these files in a folder and then have that folder be the new package, so that when the user double-clicks it, it launches the app.
How to I make a folder launch an app when it is double-clicked?
Thanks

I think I misunderstood, or I didn't ask the correct question.
I was not looking for a way to build an installer (although that was helpful!), I was actually looking for a way to make the enclosing folder for my app double-clickable to launch the app.
My app consists of a bunch of files that are all in a folder. That is messy - I'd like for just one icon for my app to live in the /Applications folder. Can I set up the app's enclosing folder so that when the user double-clicks it, it opens the app? (Is this done with folder actions?) This would essentially make the solitary apps folder indistinguishable from the actual app to the user, and it woulc look a lot cleaner than having a bunch of files.
Most apps can be right-clicked to "show package contents". Isn't that essentially just an enclosing folder with a folder script that contains the app and its files?
I hope I'm making sense here.

How can I find an ID file that contains a text...?

I've been working with InDesign for a long time. So, I have a lot of .indd files, from version 1 up to CS3.
I need to find a file(s) that contains a specific text. E.g. the name of a person, that I'm sure is somewhere in my thousands of ID files.
It's impossible to open all the files until I locate that text.
In Windows Explorer, there's a way to search a word or phrase in a file, but it only returns doc, txt, rft, and other text files, even pdf. But not indd.
Can somebody help me, please?
Thanks,
Hirao

Have you tried changing the extension on your .indd files to .txt? It's
a binary format, but there's a lot of plain text in there. The name
you're looking for, or part of it, is probably in there somewhere.
Search for the shortest possible text string. Some words are not continuous.

How can I format a form so that all text entered is "all caps"?

Thanks in advance for your help. I am trying to format a form so that all text extered is in "all caps". I am using Adobe Acrobat X. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can use a custom key stroke script like:
// custom keystroke
if(event.willCommit == false) {
if(event.value.length < 1 ) {
// set first characater to caps
event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();
} // end lentgh less than 1;
} // end custom keystroke
And then a custom format or validation script:
// custom format or validation script
if(event.value != "" && event.value.substr(event.value.length -1, 1) != ".") {
event.value = event.value + (".");
} // not null and end last character not ".";
// custom format or validation script

Is there any way to display a file that contains text and pictures

Hi all,
I was wondering if java has any way to display a file that contains both text and pictures. I have tried using the RTFEditorKit and using an RTF file and it only diplays the text contained in the file and omits the pictures all together.
code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit;
public class Test
     JScrollPane scroll;
     JEditorPane edit=new JEditorPane();
     RTFEditorKit kit=new RTFEditorKit();
     public Test()
          final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     edit.setEditorKit(kit);
     edit.setEditable(false);
     try
          kit.read(new FileReader(new File("Installation.rtf")),edit.getDocument(),0);
          catch(Exception e)
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);
     frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(edit));
     Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          frame.setBounds(0,0,screenSize.width, screenSize.height);
     frame.show();
     public static void main(String[] args)
new Test();
Please help!
thanks in advance,

Not good as that usually means the project itself was corrupt.
Any chance you sync'd to Creative Cloud? That's the only way I know of that backs up your PS Touch (PSDX) files.

How can I play an animation in reverse only if the symbol that contains the animation is visible? if the symbol is not visible have the trigger no longer target that symbol?

Hi
I have a button the does two functions at the same time. it plays a symbol's animation in reverse (in order to hide it) and it slides an element. the symbols animation is triggered by another button (which is not relevant) . So my problem is that if the animation has been triggered first than when the button is pushed the animation plays in reverse, the symbol hides and everything is fine, but if a push the button before that the animation will flash in reverse. SO how can I tell it to only play in reverse when the symbol's animation has run. I know it's an if / else statement but i have no idea how to do it.
thx

Here is a case close to your issue:
if ( sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").$("Text").is(":visible") ) { sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").playReverse(); }
else { sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").play(); }

How can I reference the symbol that contains the code.

I am trying to create a circle that is dynamically added to the stage.
Iwant to add all of the programatic animations in the symbol's stage but I can't figure out how to reference teh symbol itself with something I use to do in AS3 using the keyword this
For example:
- I create a symbol called Light, with a png inside
- I open it and place a series of code lines
var myW = this.width(); // how to reference the symbol from itself?
var myH = this.height();
funciton init()
     this.getSymbolElement().css("left", Math.random() * 1024);
     this.getSymbolElement().css("top", Math.random() * 768);
     this.getSymbolElement().css("scale", 1); // how to reset the scale?
     TweenMax.to(this, 2 + Math.random()*4,{opacity:0, scale:4, delay:Math.random()*10, onComplete:init});
init();
So each time the TweenMax completes the action, the symbol changes its position and resets the scale (how to reset it is another question)
After that I create the symbols with a for loop and scatter them over the stage randomly.
A

Thank Cindy it was dummy code typed here.
This worked perfectly! So here is how I did my PARTICLE SYSTEM:
var root = sym.getSymbolElement();
root.css("position", "absolute");
var myW = root.width();
var myH = root.height();
function init()
          var lightX = 40 + Math.random() * (1036 - 80);
          var lightY = 30 + Math.random() * 170;
          root.css("opacity", 1);
          root.css("transform","scale(0)").css("-moz-transform","scale(0)").css("-webkit-trans form","scale(0)");
          root.css("left", lightX);
          root.css("top", lightY);
          TweenMax.to(root, 0.5 + Math.random() * 1.5, {opacity:0, scale:3, delay:Math.random()*2, onComplete:init});
init();
