How do you copy a Symbol to other fla without importing it?

If I try to copy or move a symbol from one fla to another, it
automatically gets imported, i.e. in the new fla the symbol has in
its properties a source pointer, to where it was taken from. How
can i copy a symbol for real, or "clone" it, into another fla
library, without importing it? If I go to an imported symbols
properties, how can I cancel the source option? I don't see a
button for removing the source pointer.
There has to be some way to make the symbol an independent
symbol without any relation to its source fla???

Funny thing is, both if i copy and paste the symbol, or drag
it from another library, the symbol in the destination .fla gets
"imported" with information about its source (in the symbol
properties). I guess either my Flash has some funny settings, or is
not working as it is supposed to?? Maybe I should reinstall it. I
have found one way to break the "import" by making "duplicate" of
the symbol, and then deleting the original, and renaming the
duplicate back to the original name. Of course, this method is too
tedious if I wanna copy hundreds of symbols.

  • How do you copy music one at a time without syncing to a usb drive or from phone to itunes?

    How do you only copy a few songs I dont get it! Please help!!

    Syncing it's one way street, computer iTunes to iPhone (except content bought from the iTunes & App Stores).
    To sync muisc from computer iTunes to iPhone:
    1> Connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes left sidebar
    2> Select the Music tab, and select all the songs you want to sync to iPhone (As many or as few, you don't have to load all 30 GB of music)
    3> Click the Sync button.
    If the music on iPhone is not from/on your computer iTunes, you need a 3rd party software to upload it to the computer.

  • How do you copy automation from one track to another?

    How do you copy automation from one track to another? Occassionally I mistakenly blow away a track's automation. I open up an earlier version of the song to try to get the automation. It doesn't seem that you can copy and paste the data. After some struggle, I find a way. Is there an easy way?

    1. Copy the track containing the desired automation to another track. (create a track below it to keep things organized)
    2. Double click on the region and delete the notes.
    3. Now copy the region to the desired track.
    P.S. Of course when Logic asks if you want to copy the automation data you say yes)

  • How do you copy the templates from another webstie and use them as your own?

    Hi Everyone, I was told that with Dreamweaver it is possible to copy another websites templates? What are the steps in copying another websites template with Dreamweaver? I would like to know I am a newbie when it comes to this program so please make your statement understandable for me, thanks. Also, I am having problems creating a drop down menu for each of my web pages. When I go to highlight a specific box on my homepage I want the dropdown menu to appear vertically and not horizontally. I may have missed something when watching the video tutorials or I didn't quite understand what they meant. Thank you for any information on the series of questions that I have asked in this new thread.

    This is difficult to understand.   How are you copying templates from another site?
    If you have all the files that make up the template, then it's only a matter of saving all the files to a folder on your hard drive and setting up a site definition pointing to this folder.  You then work on the files as usual.

    Without seeing the page it's difficult to judge what your problem is.  If possible, please upload the files to a remote server and provide a link to the page. It's the only way people can help - if they see your page in action.

  • How do you copy your iphoto library to ext. hard drive?

    I am sorry to ask this lame question, but: How do you copy your iPhoto library to an external hard drive, just to back it up? I'm confused, because of three things: a) I can't seem to find, in iPhoto pref's, where you select what the "path" is to the library; b) in the iPhoto library folder on my computer (which is NOT on my boot drive, but a different internal drive..) the newest "year" folder in there says 2005, yet we have imported many newly-taken photos for the last 3 years, AND c) in the user>Pictures folder there is a "file" called iPhoto Library, but I can't quite figure out exactly what that is, what it does, etc.
    So, I apologize, but if someone can help me figure what I would like to think should be a very simple backup, I would be grateful. Thank you very much.

    I am sorry to ask this lame question, but: How do you copy your iPhoto library to an external hard drive, just to back it up?
    Drag it to the external drive
    a) I can't seem to find, in iPhoto pref's, where you select what the "path" is to the library;
    There not one - you change the path by launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and using the select library option to repoint to a different libary - however you would not do this to a backup library - it would just be a copy
    b) in the iPhoto library folder on my computer (which is NOT on my boot drive, but a different internal drive..) the newest "year" folder in there says 2005, yet we have imported many newly-taken photos for the last 3 years,
    This is probably an unused older library - a backup for a previous version
    c) in the user>Pictures folder there is a "file" called iPhoto Library, but I can't quite figure out exactly what that is,
    That probably is your iPhoto library and it is probably not a file but a Unix style "package"
    Launch iPhoto and in events view select a photo and right click (control click) on it and select the show file option to see the path to the currently active library - I find the column view the easiest to see the path

    How do you copy a picture in photos? When I right click on them it doesn't give you the option to copy and when I click edit, copy, it does nothing.

    I've copied pictures from iPhoto before and its worked perfectly fine. Just can't seem to find a way to do so on Photos.
    I my Photos version it works to select a photo and then use the "Edit" menu.
    Edit > Copy ⌘C  or pressing the key combination ⌘C
    There is no visible confirmation, but the photo will be in the Clipboard.
    I cannot test this with Word.  But I can insert the copied photo from the clipboard into Pages or Keynote documents by using ⌘V

    How do you copy, for example I work with blue prints and I want to copy a section and copy into another new page?

    Forgot to add that it would be an adjustment layer with some kind of mask on it already. The mask is uncentered when copy and pasted which throws it off.
    I guess the same question would go towards doing the same for an object. How to copy and paste it over to a new doc, keeping its position within the document? is this possible?

  • How Do You Copy and Paste in iPhoto

    How do you copy and paste in iphoto. 
    When I highlight a picture and duplicated it I click on the duplicate picture and drag it into my other event however it takes the original and the duplicate pictures into the new event and I lose the pictures from the original event.  All I want is the same picture in separate events.  This is really frustrating me can somebody please help me with this.

    At this time, to the best of my knowledge you can't. Use QuickTime 7 Player which should be in your Utilities folder (if not, it can be installed using the Optional Installs on your Snow Leopard install disk).

    If your IpadMini hasn't got a USB port then the only way I can think of is to email the photo to yourself and then retrieve it by logging to your email account using IpadMini.
    This method is fine if you have few photos only.  To transfer 1000s of photos require completely different device that can handle volume on an industrial scale.
    Good luck.

  • Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.

    Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.
    when you copy n paste into a new table, all the cell sizes are changed.
    is there a way to put in a new table from your templates into an existing file, different to the standard very basic ones in insert table.
    I look forward to your answers.  Your help is very much appreciated.
    Also how do you search for question answers already written in this support area please.

    Hi Jason,
    In Numbers 3, you can select a whole table by clicking once in the table to make it active, then click once on the "bull's eye" at the top left.
    Now copy and paste. All formatting (and any cell content) is pasted intact. In Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) it is a little different for selecting a whole table. But I won't go into that unless you are using Numbers '09. Please reply.
    I don't like the look of the tables in Insert Table. I keep custom tables in My Templates. I have set Numbers > Preferences > General > For New Documents > Use template: (name of my favourite custom template)
    That opens when I launch Numbers, or ask for a new document (command n). Note that if you follow this preference setting, then Menu > File > New From Template Chooser (for another template) requires you to hold down the option key in that menu.
    Regards,
    Ian.
